Success? NOPE.


I froze my eggs at 37. Got 10, ten fertilized, 6 failed to mature, two implanted. BFN. Lab "disposed of last two" because they "didn't like them". Heart broken. Now I'm too old for anything other than donor eggs.

PP here, no still haven't gotten my husband on board with 2 yet, so I don't think there is a need to save for #3. Haven't worked out any details or even spoken with our doctor.

OP here - makes me feel better to know someone is in my shoes too. If you use them, do you think you will do PGS? I'm strongly leaning toward not, but can't decide (so much controversy around it). Are you considering a fresh cycle because you want to save the eggs for #3? This will absolutely be our last child if I can get pregnant, so I figure there's no reason to save them at this point.

Thank you! i think I saw your post on a previous thread. I hope I am as fortunate. Congrats on your pregnancy!

PS some of the posters here clearly meant frozen embryos but they used "eggs."


OP here. Thanks - did you freeze eggs specifically? I'm asking about frozen eggs, which typically have lower success rates than frozen embryos.

I knew we would have a large gap if we ever had more because we were moving overseas for a 5 year work commitment and I was not interested in having a 3rd without my husband on a normal work schedule and in an area where my mom could fly down for a wknd if needed etc etc. So we got back to the states at 38.5 and tried for about 8 months then decided to unfreeze the "good" eggs. Got pregnant right away.

PS: The women in my family enter peri menopause very early. Its not unheard of for us to be done with periods by 42/44 so I knew my 32 year old eggs were probably more like 37 year old eggs going by my own families timeline.


This is helpful, thanks. How many eggs did you have and how many embryos did you end up with after thaw?

Sorry, I should have specified, I am 40 now. #1 was born last year with no issues. Clinic was in Southern California. No MF issues (my DH had tests run last year before we luckily got naturally pregnant shortly after, and everything came back fine). I was contemplating TTC naturally, but my younger eggs, if they work, will have a much lower risk of any chromosomal issues, so I'm leaning toward using them.

My understanding is that the freezing technology has improved a good deal. How long ago was 34?

I have not done it personally, but am curious, how old are you now? Which clinic did you use to undergo the cycle when you were 34? Any male factor issues?

I froze 18 eggs (vitrified) at 34 and will be thawing now in the hopes of getting pregnant with my last child. There is so little data on this that I was hoping to read some real-life stories.
