Number Of US Women Freezing Eggs Is Increasing,

reported that “the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology, which represents the majority of fertility clinics in the United States, found in its latest survey that the number of women freezing their eggs is skyrocketing – from 475 in 2009 to nearly 8,000 in 2015.” But, “there’s surprisingly little discussion about what happens years later when women try to use” those eggs to become pregnant. A 137-woman study published two years ago in Fertility and Sterility suggested that “women who froze 10 eggs at the age of 36 faced a 30 percent likelihood of achieving a live birth.” The article detailed the successful and unsuccessful experiences of several women who attempted conception with eggs they had previously had frozen. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/national/wp/2018/01/27/feature/she-championed-the-idea-that-freezing-your-eggs-would-free-your-career-but-things-didnt-quite-work-out/?utm_term=.d5a639d3af6a
