Optimal Timing for Egg Freezing

Freezing eggs in your early to early-to-mid 20s is ideal because fertility potential is near its peak, but it’s still possible between the ages of 30 to 40 or even up to 46, depending on ovarian reserve and medical history. Fertility decline starts in your early 30s and becomes more significant with age, so early preservation can offer more options later in life.

The Egg Freezing Process

Common Reasons Women Freeze Their Eggs:

  1. Hormonal Testing: In your early to mid-30s, while fertility is still strong, testing can help assess your ovarian reserve and overall reproductive health, providing valuable insight into your future family planning options.
  2. Ovarian Stimulation: Injections of hormones are administered over several days to encourage the ovaries to produce multiple eggs, rather than the single egg typically released during a natural cycle.
  1. Monitoring: Regular ultrasounds and blood tests track follicle growth and hormone levels during ovarian stimulation treatment.
  2. Egg Retrieval: A minor surgical procedure collects mature eggs from the ovaries under light sedation.
  3. Cryopreservation: Retrieved eggs are flash-frozen using vitrification, preserving them for future use in fertility treatments.

Egg freezing is a proactive choice backed by science—and one that protects your ability to conceive later with your own biological eggs.

Understanding Your Egg Supply

You are born with all the eggs you will ever have. By puberty, egg supply drops to 200,000 and declines rapidly throughout adulthood. Egg quality and quantity decline with age, particularly after age 35. Freezing your eggs early gives you a better chance of a healthy pregnancy later.

What Is the Best Age to Freeze Eggs?

The ideal window is between ages 30–35, while eggs are healthiest. However, many women freeze their eggs up to age 40. A fertility evaluation helps determine your best path forward based on hormone levels, family history, and ovarian reserve.

Egg Freezing Timeline & Steps

  1. Consultation- Schedule your egg freezing consult and undergo ovarian reserve testing.
  2. Hormone Testing – Bloodwork to assess AMH, FSH, LH, and estradiol levels plus ultrasound to count follicles.
  3. Ovarian Stimulation – Inject hormone medications (e.g. Gonal-F, Menopur) to stimulate multiple eggs.
  4. Monitoring – You’ll have 3–5 visits with ultrasound and labs to monitor progress.
  5. Egg Retrieval – 36 hours after your trigger shot, your eggs are collected under twilight sedation.
  6. Freezing (Vitrification) – Mature eggs are flash-frozen and safely stored for future use.

Success Rates & How Many Eggs to Freeze
