[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I froze my eggs in 2013 at shady Grove and I thought they did a good job of explaining the chances based on my age. I had 21 eggs and the doctor said I had an 80% chance of one live birth. They used vitrification. I have never used the eggs, but certainly people paying that kind of money should do their research. If they don't, it's on them. [/quote]

I’m the PP who froze as well and am about to thaw. Just curious why you haven’t used them - did you get pregnant naturally, decide not to have kids, or are still figuring it out? Also, how old were you when you froze for them to give you that statistic?[/quote]
I froze at 35 when it wasn't clear whether I would get married soon. Ended up getting married at 36 and had trouble conceiving. I decided to try ivf first and save the frozen eggs if ivf didn't work (my insurance fully paid for ivf) . I ended up doing one cycle and had two kids. I'm now in my early 40s and not ready to dispose of the eggs yet. The storage isn't that much. Overall it wasn't a good investment given that I haven't used them, but psychologically it was worth it at the time. [/quote]
