<h3>Social or Elective Egg Freezing&nbsp;</h3>
Your personal reasons for wanting to freeze your eggs may include one or more of the following:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="1" aria-setsize="-1" data-aria-posinset="1" data-aria-level="1">Your career is your primary focus&nbsp;</li>
<li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="1" aria-setsize="-1" data-aria-posinset="2" data-aria-level="1">Finishing your education is your priority&nbsp;</li>
<li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="1" aria-setsize="-1" data-aria-posinset="3" data-aria-level="1">You are waiting to find&nbsp;the right&nbsp;partner to have a child&nbsp;with&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
Choosing to freeze your eggs is a personal choice and&nbsp;a&nbsp;medical reason is&nbsp;unnecessary. Preserving your fertility allows you to focus on what&rsquo;s important to you now while planning for&nbsp;your&nbsp;future&nbsp;path to parenthood.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h3>Medical Egg Freezing&nbsp;</h3>
Freezing your eggs to preserve your fertility due to medical reasons&nbsp;including&nbsp;but not limited to&nbsp;the following:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="2" aria-setsize="-1" data-aria-posinset="1" data-aria-level="1">Risk of infertility due to surgery, radiation or chemotherapy&nbsp;</li>
<li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="2" aria-setsize="-1" data-aria-posinset="2" data-aria-level="1">Having a family history of early menopause&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
For women facing chemotherapy, surgery or radiation, egg freezing offers a chance to preserve your eggs prior to treatment. Most of these treatments&nbsp;can&nbsp;destroy your eggs and lead to&nbsp;possible&nbsp;infertility. Medically necessary options vary depending on age, type of cancer, and cancer-treatment plan &ndash; something that will be discussed at Cryos during your initial visit,&nbsp;so you can decide&nbsp;the best option for you.&nbsp;
Women with a family history of early menopause may also choose to preemptively freeze their eggs. Some forms of early menopause (such as premature ovarian failure) are&nbsp;genetically linked&nbsp;and egg freezing offers a chance to preserve eggs before they are depleted.&nbsp;
<h3>When should I freeze my eggs?&nbsp;</h3>
Cryos&nbsp;recommends&nbsp;taking advantage of premium egg quality during prime reproductive years &ndash; your 20&rsquo;s&nbsp;through&nbsp;early 30&rsquo;s. By contacting our Customer Care Team,&nbsp;Cryos&nbsp;can&nbsp;lead you through a series of questions to help determine the right time to freeze your eggs.&nbsp;
Pregnancy rates from frozen eggs&nbsp;can&nbsp;depend on the woman&rsquo;s age at the time she&nbsp;decides to&nbsp;freeze&nbsp;her eggs and various other factors.&nbsp;Therefore,&nbsp;Cryos&nbsp;is unable to&nbsp;freeze eggs for patients over 38 years&nbsp;of age, as the chance of&nbsp;a healthy&nbsp;pregnancy is&nbsp;statistically unlikely.&nbsp;
<h3>How long can my eggs be frozen?&nbsp;</h3>
Cryopreserved (frozen) eggs can be stored indefinitely. Live births have been reported using eggs that were frozen over ten years ago. However, because egg vitrification is a relatively new procedure the upper limit for which they can be stored&nbsp;at this time&nbsp;is&nbsp;really&nbsp;unknown. &nbsp;
Embryos&nbsp;on the other hand&nbsp;have been stored for decades with great success and there is&nbsp;little&nbsp;reason to suspect that eggs will be any different.&nbsp;
<h3>How many eggs should I freeze?&nbsp;</h3>
The number of eggs you should store depends on your age at the time of retrieval. Based on existing studies, calculating average egg thaw and fertilization rates, we recommend a minimum of 10 frozen eggs for each IVF cycle or pregnancy attempt you want to plan. Most women 38 years of age and under can expect to&nbsp;successfully&nbsp;cryopreserve (freeze)&nbsp;around&nbsp;10-20 eggs per cycle.&nbsp;
