A woman's fertility journey goes through various stages, and egg freezing is an option considered to extend this capability. So, what is the ideal age for women to freeze their eggs?

A woman's fertility undergoes significant changes throughout her life. Typically, a woman's fertility peaks around the age of 20, which is considered the golden period for reproduction. However, as women age, we see a rapid decline in fertility starting at around 35, and even more so at 40 and 45. Specifically, after 35, a woman's fertility begins to decline noticeably. By the time she reaches 38-40, fertility is halved, and between 40-42, it decreases by half again. At 45, over 95% of women have lost their fertility.

For single women considering egg freezing, the best age is before reaching 35. Freezing eggs at a younger age provides more options and security for the future.

Another crucial point to note is that when contemplating egg freezing, the earlier, the better. Frozen eggs have a long shelf life and do not have a limited time frame for use. Freezing eggs at a young age does not affect their quality. On the contrary, the younger you are when you freeze your eggs, the more you can freeze, and the higher the quality of those frozen eggs. This ensures better results when you decide to use them in the future.

For women considering egg freezing, it can be seen as a form of insurance. You may not necessarily need to use your frozen eggs, but having them frozen allows you to naturally conceive without the constraints of time. If you decide on a second or third child after reaching 40 or 45, you can achieve this by thawing your eggs and undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF), providing you with more choices and control.

We are witnessing an increasing number of families and single women choosing to freeze their eggs. This trend is due to egg freezing being a relatively mature technology. Many women begin freezing their eggs in their twenties. This choice provides them with more flexibility and possibilities for the future.
