Does egg freezing damage the egg at all?
If an egg is frozen, wouldn't the freezing process damage the egg in some way?

Rarely does egg freezing damage the egg. Ninety percent of eggs thaw well and are viable. There are no studies that indicate that freezing damages the genetics of the egg either.

That was always the problem before, that the eggs would not thaw out well. Now, with newer procedures such as vitrification, eggs freeze and thaw out very well.
