[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know someone who did this in her 30s, and thawed them at 43 after she got married. None of the eggs survived thawing. She had no good eggs left at 43. It's no guarantee. Maybe freeze some as embryos, since they freeze better, if you really want to keep options open.[/quote]

Part of it depends on what technique they used to freeze the eggs.  They used to use more of a slow freeze technique, which was less effective than the current fast freeze technique (vitrification), which reduces ice crystals.  Nowadays, I think that everyone uses vitrification, but if your friend froze her eggs more than a decade ago, it might still have been under the slow freezing methodology.

But either way, no guarantee.[/quote]

They were vitrified. It still didn't help.

I had a vitrified *embryo* not survive thawing. It's an imperfect process.[/quote]

Could have been a lab F up. And all your eggs are in one basket (pun intended). [/quote]
