Understanding Egg Freezing: A guide for women

Women are now postponing childbearing. The mean age of first births in women aged 35 years or over is increasing in the United States. This trend toward motherhood at a later age is due to educational, professional, financial, and personal reasons.

Fertility preservation via egg freezing when parenthood is not feasible or desirable at the present time is a viable option to ensure a healthy pregnancy. A woman is born with all the eggs she will ever have. Eggs released when a person is younger are most often of better quality and more likely to result in a healthy pregnancy. Egg freezing or embryo banking if a partner is available, allows women to preserve their fertility at their current age and then become a parent when it is more convenient. The age of a pregnancy is not related to the age of the woman but rather the age of the egg. A 40-year-old woman who uses eggs frozen at age 28 will have the same pregnancy risks as a 28-year-old. The frozen egg or embryo will be available for IVF whenever you're ready.
