Who is Egg Freezing For?
Jill Anthony-Ackers, Communications Manager at MFS explains that the following groups may benefit: document.getElementById(‘adsense_placeholder_2’).innerHTML = document.getElementById(‘adsense_ad_2_hidden’).innerHTML; • Women with endometriosis, ovarian cysts, or those who are concerned about premature ovarian failure or early menopause. • Women who are about to start cancer treatment, which can damage the ovaries. • Single women who would like to preserve healthy eggs now to maximise their chances of pregnancy later. The ideal time to freeze your eggs is in your 20s or early 30s. “Egg freezing after 37 is usually not recommended as both the quantity and number of a woman’s eggs decline rapidly around then,” says Jill. “The age of a woman at the time of egg collection is the biggest determinant of a successful outcome to egg freezing, and any subsequent chance of pregnancy and live birth.” • Women who do not want to freeze embryos for religious or ethical reasons.How the Process Works
