Understanding Egg Freezing Success Rates:
Egg freezing (oocyte cryopreservation) is a process where a woman’s eggs are retrieved, frozen, and stored for later use. This can allow women to preserve their fertility for various reasons, including career planning, medical treatments, or simply extending their reproductive window.
The success of egg freezing leading to a live birth is highly dependent on several factors, most notably the woman’s age at the time of freezing and the number of eggs successfully frozen. Younger age generally correlates with higher egg quality and, therefore, higher success rates.
The probabilities shown are estimated based on typical success rates and a probabilistic model. These calculations consider the likelihood of an oocyte maturing into a blastocyst and the likelihood of that blastocyst having a normal set of chromosomes (euploid), both of which are influenced by age.
It’s important to understand that these calculations provide general estimates based on available data and common success rates reported by fertility clinics. Individual results can vary widely due to personal health factors, clinic success rates, IVF protocols, and other unforeseen circumstances. This calculator is a tool for general information and should not replace professional medical advice. Always consult with a fertility specialist to discuss your specific situation and personalize your treatment plan.
