Give yourself the choice of when to try
Social Egg Freezing offers the opportunity to preserve your fertility potential at the age you freeze your eggs.
If you try to have children later in life, your chance of success could be higher using your younger frozen eggs, as egg quality decreases with age. The journey is personal to each and every one of us.
Everybody Has Their Own Timeline
So many factors in life can dictate when you want to start a family. The timing that’s right for you may not align with what is optimal for your fertility. You could be busy with your career, love-life, travel plans, or just not ready to have children. Egg freezing could help to preserve your fertility potential for when the time is right.
When should you freeze your eggs? That’s up to you.
Just like the decision to start a family there may be other financial commitments to consider such as travel, investments, large purchases, or savings.
By taking out an affordable pre-paid plan, you can set a timeline that works for you. Choosing to freeze eggs with a Social Egg Freeze Plan not only provides the reassurance of having younger eggs frozen for when you are ready, it also gives the freedom to plan your finances to freeze at a time that suits you.
Gender affirmation
If you are starting hormone therapy or planning to have reconstructive surgery you may wish to consider egg freezing, this will enable you to use your own eggs in the future.
Transitioning from female to male can lead to either partial or complete fertility loss.
Success Rates
With the advances in technology in recent years egg freezing has become a reliable treatment option and is increasingly popular. The benefit of freezing eggs instead of embryos is that you can keep your options open for the future. Whether that’s because you’ve not met the right person yet or aren’t ready to think about using a sperm donor.
Success rates using frozen eggs are now comparable with using fresh eggs.

When should I freeze my eggs?
Age is one of the most important factors influencing the success of egg freezing. Egg quality and quantity are generally highest in your 20s and early 30s, which can improve the chances of a future pregnancy. For many people, freezing eggs before age 35 offers the best balance of egg quality and future reproductive options.
People with ovaries are born with all the eggs they will ever have. As they age, genetic quality and the number of available eggs both diminish. They do not regenerate and your body is not able to make new eggs. Once they are gone, they are gone.
