The biological clock waits for no one. When it comes to fertility, every minute counts.The quality and quantity of our eggs continuously decline, leading to decreased pregnancy rate and higher miscarriage rates as we age. Egg freezing allows you to store a group of good quality eggs for future use.
What is the ideal age for Egg Freezing?
Ideally, you should freeze your eggs before you are 35 years old when egg quality and quantity is optimal. That being said, egg freezing is still a good option for individuals over 35, but you will likely need to freeze more eggs to achieve your family planning goals.
Book a consultationEgg freezing is a proactive and empowering fertility preservation option that offers you control over your reproductive timeline.
It is a multi-step process that involves stimulating the ovaries with hormones to produce multiple eggs that are retrieved from the ovaries and then frozen.
In the future, these eggs can be thawed and combined with sperm to create embryos that are implanted in the uterus for pregnancy.
Biology - The quality and quantity of your eggs decrease as you age, leading to decreased pregnancy rates and increased miscarriage rates. Egg freezing allows you to freeze a group of good quality eggs for future use.
Reproductive Autonomy - Egg freezing is a technology that gives you the ability to be proactive about your fertility and delay pregnancy until you are ready - personally, professionally and financially.
Medical Reasons - The treatment of certain medical conditions, such as various autoimmune diseases, endometriosis or various cancers, can affect the quality and quantity of the eggs in the ovaries or even the ovaries themselves. These treatments can include certain immunosuppressant medications, pelvic surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation.
Gender-Affirming Care - Transgender individuals with ovaries may wish to freeze their eggs prior to commencing gender-affirming treatment, as these treatments can affect the quality and production of eggs. Egg freezing allows for more options once a couple or individual is ready to start or grow their family.
Although everyone’s experience is different, the most important predictors of a successful pregnancy are:
Age - The younger you are when you freeze your eggs, the better your chances of having a healthy birth in the future. Egg freezing should ideally occur before the age of 35, but egg freezing remains a good option for women or anyone with ovaries over 35, especially if their egg number is high.
Number of Frozen Eggs - The more eggs you have frozen, the better your chances of success in the future. That’s because not all frozen eggs survive the thawing process, not all thawed eggs fertilize into embryos, and not all embryos become a successful pregnancy.
Ovarian Reserve - This is a measure of the number of eggs in your ovaries, directly related to your age. We will perform a comprehensive assessment of your ovarian reserve before determining if egg freezing is right for you.
Frozen eggs can be safely stored indefinitely for if, and when, you are ready to use them.
The odds of a future pregnancy will depend on many factors, such as your age at the time of egg freezing, and the number of eggs retrieved. We’ve created this helpful chart* to give you an idea of the success of egg freezing at different life stages.
