Misconceptions of egg freezing

  1. It is a good alternative for older women who want to preserve their last few eggs until they are ready.

  • Most clinics recommend women to be in their 20s and 30s as this yields best results.

     2. It is a good idea for younger women who want to stay focused on their            careers and schooling.

  • The cost alone of egg freezing makes it an impractical alternative for young women, most of whom are still concerned about paying off college.

     3. Egg freezing has high success rates.

  • As the medical procedure is still relatively new few studies have been done, but many show that the odds of live birth are far lower than what clinics want women to believe.
