I think that we can still count on one hand the number of viable pregnancies in the world that have resulted from egg freezing. The media frenzy is so great after each on these that it seems there are more, but there are not many more than that. Eggs freeze poorly. Embryos, on the other hand, freeze very nicely, and thousands if not tens of thousands babies have been born worldwide from that technique. It’s primarily a technical issue and there are several people around the world working hard on figuring it out. As you can imagine, it will be a very popular thing to do for women with POF-related problems!
