What You Need To Know About Egg Freezing

As a woman, you know that the phrase “your biological clock is ticking” is no myth. It’s not that you’re incapable of having children when you get older, it’s just a little more difficult if you were above 35.

Some women aren’t ready to have children at a young age, others would prefer to be more financially stable, and others would like to “cheat” their biological clock. Either way, there are a few things you need to know about egg freezing before you undergo the process.

Freezing does not affect the viability of the eggs.

In fact, freezing will preserve its viability. The benefit of freezing your eggs is that you don’t have to worry about the eggs maturing and losing their effectivity. You literally keep your eggs frozen in time until you’re ready to use them.

Freezing isn’t limited to eggs

You have the option to preserve sperm and the embryo as well! The concept is similar to egg freezing. However, the extraction process is different. Also, embryo freezing will require fertilization. Freezing embryo speeds up the process for conception.

Younger eggs have a higher in vitro fertilization success rate. Fertility begins to decline at age 35, which means the potency and viability of eggs harvested in your 30s will not be as “effective” as those collected in your 20s. However, you need to consider that egg freezing is an expensive procedure, and you will have to talk about it with your partner.
