Women in their early 30’s that aren’t planning to have children at that age should consider freezing their eggs to help their chances in later years. Egg freezing will give such women a chance a better chance of trying to become pregnant at 40 and is more cost effective for the average woman. The technique is widely available but can cost more than £10 000. Experts have said that egg freezing has improved so much that it has become a more reasonable option than the more expensive IVF, allowing more women to delay starting a family due to work or relationships. A US medical society concluded that on average, if a woman wanted to have a baby in her 40’s it would work out cheaper and more effective for her to freeze her eggs in her earlier 30’s than to wait and take her chances naturally at that increased age. This method offer about a 70% chance of conception in later years if eggs are frozen earlier on, this percentage decreases to 50 % if eggs are frozen at the age of 36. I was also noted that women that waited ill the age of 40 to try for a baby were unsuccessful in conception and attempted IVF had a decreased chance of only 36% of falling pregnant. If women do decided to wait to conceive a child then it is suggested that it is better to plan ahead to allow for some degree of fertility preservation.
