Is Freezing Your Eggs Right For You?

Perfect eggs doesn’t = perfect pregnancy
The cutoff age for IVF was recently increased from 39 to 42 – which some members of the medical community think may have some unintended consequences. One of those might be the ease of the actual pregnancy. You might freeze your eggs when you’re young, and have very healthy eggs, but doing IVF later in life still means growing an embryo in the uterus that has aged since that time. In other words, having perfectly healthy eggs does not guarantee a perfectly easy pregnancy. Carrying a baby to term does become riskier the older you become, regardless of at what age the eggs were frozen.
