[quote=Anonymous]If you are in your mid-30s, you ideally want to do this now and not wait.

They generally recommend aiming for at least twenty eggs for 1-2 live births. This will likely take you two cycles of egg freezing, but some women are lucky and do it in one.

You can go do a consult with an RE and it should be covered by insurance. They will do testing to check your FSH, your AMH and your AFC. The first two are blood tests. The latter is a vaginal ultrasound. Together, these tests will tell them a lot about your fertility and how likely you are to have success with egg freezing (or IVF if you opt to fertilize some with donor sperm). I'd encourage you to do this testing regardless of whether or not you are certain you will freeze your eggs. I found it very informative in terms of understanding my fertility.

It's a lot with the injections and appointments, but the really intense part is only about two weeks.

I froze my eggs in my mid-30s and had a child with them at 41. 21 eggs led to one successful pregnancy. I will forever be grateful the technology was available and I consider it the best decision I ever made. My eggs were done by 40 (I tried an IVF cycle before using the frozen eggs and had no viable embryos from it.) I wouldn't have become a mom without the frozen eggs.[/quote]
