Egg Freezing at 32 How Effective is It and What to Expect

2 months ago

I am 32 and have been advised to consider egg freezing due to my declining ovarian reserve. I am anxious about the procedure, hormonal injections, and whether it will truly preserve my chances of having a baby in the future. How effective is egg freezing at my age, and what should I expect during the process?

Egg freezing at 32 is considered highly effective because egg quality is generally still good, and survival rates after thawing are higher compared to older ages.

The process involves ovarian stimulation with daily hormonal injections for 10–14 days to mature multiple eggs, followed by monitoring through ultrasound and blood tests. Egg retrieval is done under sedation, usually as a short outpatient procedure.

Most women experience mild discomfort, bloating, or cramps. Fertility specialists recommend freezing 15–20 eggs for a good chance of future pregnancy, but results vary based on ovarian reserve and individual response.
