      Who is egg freezing relevant for?

      Egg freezing is an opportunity for you to preserve your ability to have children later in life. There are different reasons for freezing your eggs. Maybe you are not ready for children just yet, or perhaps you are facing medical treatment that could reduce your egg quality and therefore want to retrieve and preserve your high-quality eggs before starting treatment. Choosing to have you eggs frozen for personal reasons is also called Social egg freezing, which you can read more about by following the link. Women’s prime reproductive years are in their 20’s and early 30’s, which is why egg freezing at Cryos is offered to women under 40. You can learn more about who egg freezing is relevant for here.
