With advances in modern medicine, more women are choosing to freeze their eggs to preserve fertility potential. So, when is the most appropriate time for women to begin freezing their eggs? And how long can frozen eggs be stored while remaining healthy?

 

A woman’s fertility peaks in her 20s but gradually declines with age, especially after 35, when this trend becomes more pronounced. Between 35 and 40, fertility significantly halves, and after 40, it further diminishes. By age 45, more than 95% of women will naturally lose their fertility. Therefore, if one hopes to have reproductive options in the future, the optimal age to freeze eggs is generally before 35. At this stage, egg quantity is sufficient, and quality is at a higher level, which supports the goal of healthy childbirth in the future.

 

Many people are curious about the preservation limit for frozen eggs. In fact, there is no strict time limit for stored eggs. In a cryopreserved environment, egg quality almost does not decline over time. This means that even years or decades after freezing, the eggs remain healthy, allowing women who freeze eggs at a younger age to keep open more reproductive options for the future, without concern about the natural decline in fertility over the years.

 

For some women, egg freezing is akin to a “fertility insurance,” removing future age-related limitations. If they decide to conceive later, whether at 40 or even 45, the frozen eggs can be thawed and used through IVF-PGT to fulfill their desire for parenthood. Egg freezing provides women with greater life flexibility and reproductive autonomy.

 

An increasing number of women and families are recognizing the value of egg freezing, particularly as more women in their 20s are opting to freeze their eggs. This choice grants them greater freedom in career, life, and family planning.
