[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Part of the problem that I see in my friend group is Peter Pan husbands who know about IVF and go into marriage insisting that their wife will “just” freeze her eggs. These men are open that they won’t even consider kids until 35+. They have no idea about the risks of infertility or the effect of fertility treatments on women’s bodies and just aren’t interested in learning. Most of the men I know with very successful careers didn’t even consider kids or marriage until they were close to 40, and they forced their partners to wait along with them pretending it would just work out.[/quote]
Then you go unfreeze your eggs and all of them are spoiled and/or hardly any fertilize and/or none of them take and now you're 42. Oopsies.

Most women who are freezing eggs are already mid 30s and most can only afford one cycle

An acquaintance who had a proven donor egg cycle fail because of undiagnosed male factor. Other than my friend, the donor has an uninterrupted chain of successful donations. IVF is absolutely not the guarantee or "insurance policy" unscrupulous doctors pretend it is

Just read yesterday a story of a young woman who donated twice successfully, but going off her birth control and on the fertility meds caused her mild endometriosis to go out of control which ultimately left her infertile [/quote]

Yes and no. It is not a guarantee, but having 3 chromosomally normal embryos provides a around a 94% chance of having at least 1 baby. Genetically normal embryos are pretty reliable if you have 3 or more saved for later. [/quote]
1 round of egg freezing which yields probably 10-20 eggs of unknown quality =/= doing enough rounds of IVF to get three PGS normal embryos [/quote]
