Eggs can be stored indefinitely , for as long as you wish although in most cases they are stored in average for 30 years.

As women age, the quantity and quality of their eggs decline. By freezing eggs at a younger age, women can preserve their fertility potential, giving them the opportunity to conceive later in life when they might otherwise face challenges. After eggs are retrieved from your body and frozen using specialized techniques in a dedicated lab, they stop aging. This means your healthy, high-quality eggs remain in the same condition as when they were frozen, allowing you to use them to conceive later in life, even when finding healthy eggs might otherwise be difficult.

The maximum effect of your medications typically occurs around 7-10 days after the procedure. After this period, your ovaries will gradually decrease in size and return to their normal state by the time of your next menstrual cycle. Your period is expected to resume about 14 days after the egg retrieval.

The number of eggs you should freeze depends on various factors, with age being the most significant. Your age at the time of freezing is the best indicator of the genetic quality of your eggs. While there’s no guaranteed number that ensures a successful pregnancy in the future, women aged 34 or younger generally have a high chance of achieving at least one successful pregnancy with around 10 frozen eggs. For women aged 35 to 38, aiming for about 15 eggs is recommended. For women over 38, data is less definitive, so it’s prudent to aim for freezing 20 eggs or more to maximize your chances.

It varies based on several factors. Generally, younger women tend to be able to freeze a higher number of eggs in a single cycle and are more likely to have a higher percentage of genetically healthy eggs, so they may need fewer cycles to reach their goal. Many younger women achieve their egg freezing target in just one cycle, whereas older women often require multiple cycles. During your consultation, our doctors will provide an estimate of how many eggs you can expect to freeze in one cycle.
