FAQ
1. How many eggs can be frozen?
The number of eggs collected and frozen varies from woman to woman. Age, ovarian reserve, and individual response to fertility medication can influence the number of eggs obtained.
2. Do all collected eggs survive the freezing process?
Not necessarily. Some eggs may not be mature enough to freeze, and not every egg will survive the freezing and thawing process.
3. Can frozen eggs be used directly for pregnancy?
Frozen eggs generally need to be thawed and fertilised to create embryos. The embryos can then be considered for transfer depending on the individual’s treatment plan.
4. Does ovarian reserve affect egg freezing?
Yes. Ovarian reserve can influence how the ovaries respond to stimulation and how many eggs may be collected during an egg-freezing cycle.
5. Why does age matter when freezing eggs?
Egg quality tends to decline with age, which can influence fertilisation, embryo development, and pregnancy outcomes. This is why the age at which eggs are frozen is an important consideration.
