[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone here is wrong and I know because I did something similar. Eggs frozen at 36 and baby born at 42.

Your odds of getting pregnant are in the 38 year old range as long as your eggs were frozen using the most recent technology and you are working with a good lab. Most miscarriages are chromosomal-related. Your chances of chromosomal issues are the same as any 38 year old - and far lower if you PGS test. My screening tests like NIPT were treated as if I was 36, but I did have some extra monitoring at the end of my pregnancy and take baby aspirin to prevent pre-eclampsia because I was over 40. As my RE said, if you have good 30-something eggs/embryos, I can get you pregnant anytime in your 40s. Your age is now irrelevant. [/quote]

No one is saying she can’t get pregnant using her frozen eggs.  What we are saying is that the odds are slower, which is her question.   Even with vitrified eggs, only 91% survive the thaw.  Fewer eggs = lower chances of a live birth.   So right off the bat, OP will be behind a 38 year old using fresh eggs.  The odds may still be pretty good but they are not equivalent to a 38 year old using fresh eggs.  [/quote]

She didn't ask about her odds versus a 38 year old doing IVF with fresh eggs. She asked about her odds versus any 38 year old in general.

The short answer is it depends on how many eggs OP has. If she has a lot of them to work with, her odds are about as good as any 38 year old, if not better because while your typical 38 year old's eggs will just keep getting older as she tries to get pregnant, hers will not.

Ignore the naysayers OP. Nothing is a guarantee, but your odds are good and better the more eggs you have. Best of luck to you![/quote]
