"Debunking Myths and Considering Factors: Egg Freezing 101"

Embryologist Cynthia Hudson has listed six things women should consider before freezing their eggs, including the age at which to freeze them, how long they can be stored, success rates, cost, the choice of clinic, and the egg-freezing process. While the best chances of having a baby can be had if a woman is under 35 when she freezes her eggs, there is no one correct answer, and every situation and woman is different. Egg freezing should be considered an insurance policy rather than a guarantee, and success rates are largely dependent on the woman's age when they are frozen. The entire process from freezing eggs to thawing in the UK costs £7,000 to £8,000, on average.
