Egg freezing outcomes

What stored eggs realistically translate to later.

Fertility preservation

Not every egg survives warming, not every surviving egg fertilises, and not every embryo implants. Clinics should give you age-specific estimates of the chance of a live birth from the number of eggs you have stored, rather than a single reassuring figure. Ask what proportion of their stored eggs have actually been used.
