I was just looking at CDC Data. In 2019, out of 330,773 IVF cycles there were 22,893 cryopreservation cycles (egg freezing and embryo freezing).

In 2020, "Of the 326,468 ART cycles performed in 2020, 123,304 were egg or embryo banking cycles in which all resulting eggs or embryos were frozen for future use. "

This is unprecedented, and am especially interested in the egg freezing statistics. Depending on (if &) when these eggs are used, it can give us more insight into a) Quality of Labs b) better statistics by age, especially older) c) best practices in freezing and thawing.

It maybe too late for me by the time there's enough learning from this data. But hopefully it will help future generations of women undergoing this process.
