Egg freezing is typically considered an option when women are advancing in their careers or pursuing further education. Opting for egg freezing not only provides a backup plan but also relieves the pressure of fertility, enabling women to face their careers and marriages more confidently. Although many goals can be achieved through personal efforts, fertility is constrained by natural laws and is a reality that cannot be changed. Therefore, as more and more women focus on career development and delay childbearing, egg freezing has become a choice to proactively preserve fertility.

 

The principle of egg freezing is simple: eggs extracted from the female body are preserved in liquid nitrogen to delay their fertilization process. This way, even as women age and egg quality declines, they can still use these eggs for reproduction at some point in the future.

 

Choosing egg freezing at 25 years old is like preserving one's fertility at 25.

 

Some people worry that egg freezing may deplete future fertility, but this is not the case. The process of egg freezing does not affect ovarian function in women because the use of ovulation-inducing injections only utilizes follicles that are already blocked, rather than using eggs from the next menstrual cycle. Therefore, egg freezing does not deplete future fertility.

 

Although egg freezing technology is relatively mature, there are still risks associated with the entire process. For example, post-thaw egg survival or ovulation induction may affect estrogen levels in the female body, increasing the risk of blood clots, among other complications. Therefore, when choosing egg freezing, professional medical consultation and rigorous medical testing are necessary to ensure safety and reliability.

 

When is the best time for egg freezing?

 

From an effectiveness perspective, the earlier, the better, but it should not be below 20 years old. It is recommended to freeze eggs between the late 20s and 35 years old, especially in the late 20s when physiological indicators are optimal. If egg freezing is done after the age of 35, multiple ovulation inductions may be needed to obtain a sufficient number of ideal eggs.

 

What are the differences between frozen eggs and fresh eggs?

 

Medically speaking, there is little difference between the two. Egg freezing simply puts the eggs in a dormant state through freezing technology, stopping their metabolism and molecular movement in a low-temperature environment, thus allowing them to be preserved for a long time.
