Best Age and Duration for Safe Egg Freezing
4 months ago
I want to preserve my fertility for future family planning, but I am unsure about timing and long-term storage. How long can eggs be safely stored, and does freezing at a younger age provide a significant advantage for future conception?

Eggs can be safely stored for many years in liquid nitrogen, with successful pregnancies reported after more than a decade. Freezing at a younger age provides a significant advantage because egg quality is higher, leading to better fertilization and implantation rates later. Long-term storage is closely monitored, and clinics regularly check storage equipment and protocols.
Early decision-making allows women to accumulate more eggs over time, improving the likelihood of achieving pregnancy in the future while minimizing age-related fertility decline.
