The good news is spreading like wildfire. The American Society of Reproductive Medicine
(ASRM) has lifted the “experimental” label from egg freezing declaring that the
“rate of pregnancy and healthy offspring are comparable to using fresh
eggs.”
Less than a decade ago, human egg freezing was considered a
new, expensive and uncertain technology.
Today, the costs will still put a dent in your bank account, but science
has made great advances.
The breakthrough was a process called vitrification or flash-freezing. “ 80 percent or more of vitrified eggs
survive thawing and up to 12% of thawed fertilized eggs produce a pregnancy.” With significant improvements in freezing and
thawing techniques, the probability for overall success increases.
