[quote=Anonymous]I froze eggs at 34 and 38 at two different fertility clinics in NOVA. Obtained 10 from the first; 16 on the second. Fast forward to 41 when I married; we did a combined three cycle IVF (froze 8 embryos on the first two cycles) with thawing of all 26 eggs on the third cycle. All 26 eggs died at thawing. Only one of my embryos from the three IVF cycles became a blastocyst on day 7 which tested abnormal. Fortunately, I decided to have a child on my own via IVF between my two egg freezing cycles so as heartbreaking as it was, I had my child. my husband and I did two more IVF cycles and we had our baby on the last one when I was 43 years old. Lesson: frozen eggs are not guaranteed, particularly for women in their 30's. Embryos are better, particularly if they are tested. While frozen eggs are better than nothing, I would never consider it insurance or a fall back plan. If you feel strongly about having children, freeze embryos and get them tested. [/quote]
