The best ages to freeze your eggs
It is recommended that women freeze their eggs between the ages of 20 and 30, and no older than 38. So take into consideration your current age, and discuss with your doctor whether or not this will be a successful process, based on your age. Before the age of 38, an estimated 75 percent of retrieved frozen eggs will be healthy. So, freezing 10 might result in around seven usable, thawed eggs. After the age of 38, the chances that usable eggs are retrieved drop significantly, but the cost of this process remains the same, so it’s important the timing is right. You can have your hormones tested to get a sense of your egg health before beginning the process.
