Egg Freezing After 40 – Is It Worth It?

Introduction

Egg freezing is often marketed to women of all ages, but does it make sense after 40? This blog explores the science and statistics.

Egg Quality Decline

Female fertility declines significantly after 35, with a sharp drop in egg quality after 40.

Success Rates

Studies show that live birth rates from eggs frozen after 40 are significantly lower than for younger women.

Alternative Options

Donor eggs may provide higher success rates for women over 40 seeking pregnancy.

Financial Considerations

Egg freezing is expensive, and multiple cycles may be required with limited benefit.

Conclusion

While egg freezing after 40 may preserve some chance of pregnancy, it is not a guarantee. Surrogacy4All helps women explore all fertility options to make informed choices.
