Egg freezing is when a lady stores her fertile eggs for future use.
Many women choose egg freezing because they know they want to become mothers someday, but they aren’t certain what the future holds. Life is full of uncertainty, which is why many women ask us. How long can frozen eggs be stored? The answer is; as long as you need them to be. Thousands of healthy babies have been born from frozen eggs. Some babies have been born from frozen eggs stored longer than 14 years.
There has been no studies yet on how long eggs can be frozen and survive the thawing process. American Society for Reproductive Medicine’s committee already declared egg freezing as no longer an experimental procedure. At the time, the longest any egg had been frozen was four years. In the majority of studies, the eggs were frozen for a few weeks or months. That’s something that women who don’t plan on having children for a long time need to consider. The expectation is they should be fine, but has anyone frozen an egg for 20 years and used it? No. When to freeze is a matter of opinion; many doctors see 34 as a good age to freeze eggs, though some recommend younger.
