What Does Science Say?
Today’s scientific advancements allow viable human eggs to be preserved for many years through vitrification. Learn about egg freezing treatments today to keep your options open for tomorrow.

Egg freezing, or cryopreservation, allows you to store your eggs while they are young and healthy, preserving them to prevent natural aging. Your eggs – essentially frozen in time – can later be used for in vitro fertilization (IVF), increasing your chances of a successful pregnancy.

Three Key Factors for Your Fertility

 

You might not have decided whether you want children yet – and that’s completely normal. We believe every woman deserves to have all the information about her fertility to make the best decisions for her life and future.

First one : The Sooner, the Better

 

Today, seven out of ten women conceive successfully between ages 20 and 30, compared to only four out of ten after age 40.

It’s not just a woman’s age that matters but the age of her eggs.

 

By age 35, about 30% of women face difficulties conceiving naturally due to declining egg quality.

By age 40, approximately 65% of women cannot conceive naturally. Many women who encounter fertility challenges later regret not exploring their options earlier. Freezing young eggs helps overcome this obstacle, regardless of a woman’s age when trying to conceive.

Your Chances of Having Children with Egg Preservation

With approximately 20 frozen eggs, the chances of having at least one child are very high.

Chances remain good, but freezing more eggs may be necessary.

Chances decrease, and a greater number of eggs usually need to be frozen.

Chances are lower, even with a large number of eggs.

This data underscores that freezing eggs earlier can offer better options for the future.

Age, Fertility, and Miscarriage Risk


This chart shows that the likelihood of pregnancy declines after age 25, with a significant drop after age 35. Meanwhile, miscarriage risk increases dramatically after this age, largely due to declining egg quality.

“If you choose to conceive later using eggs you froze earlier, your chances of pregnancy will be the same as when you froze your eggs.”

Second one : The More, the Better!

 

Women are born with about one million eggs, but this number decreases each month. In some women, this decline accelerates with age until reaching a critical threshold that triggers menopause. Although egg quality diminishes with age, freezing a large quantity of eggs while young provides more options for the future.

Your AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) will be tested to evaluate how many eggs you have left.

“Even if you have a low egg count, you can still have high-quality eggs. Younger eggs are of better quality, which can improve your chances of future success.”

Third one : Quality control

 

A crucial factor in evaluating fertility health is egg quality. As women age, older eggs are more likely to result in genetically abnormal embryos, such as those with Down syndrome. After age 35, the likelihood of obtaining healthy embryos declines, reducing the chances of a healthy pregnancy.

 

By preserving your fertility early through egg freezing, you ensure the preservation of your youngest eggs, which are more likely to produce healthy embryos.

For you future, if you wish

 

Older eggs have a higher risk of producing genetically abnormal embryos due to declining quality over time. As you age, the becomeof eggs diminishes, and their ability to produce healthy embryos becomes less optimal. Egg DNA is also susceptible to harmful environmental factors like infections, stress, or toxins. Freezing your eggs while they’re young protects them from these damages and increases the chances of a healthy pregnancy.

 

The freezing and thawing process does not affect pregnancy chances. If you freeze your eggs at 30 and use them at 40, your pregnancy chances will be nearly the same as when the eggs were frozen.

What does the future hold ? 

 

Whatever you envision for the future, you can rest assured that you have options. Some women conceive naturally. Others may try for a second or third child or never use their frozen eggs.

 

Whatever path is right for you, egg freezing guarantees freedom of choice.
