Q: is it safe to freeze eggs; and then stop ovulation using birth control until were ready to use the eggs?

: The process of stimulation of the ovary to produce multiple eggs which can be retrieved by a minor surgical procedure, and frozen or converted to fertilized eggs (embryos) until pregnancy is desired. This process ("IVF") is costly and is performed in specialized fertility clinics.
