Ovarian reserve and age
Who is egg freezing suitable for?
Medically reviewed by: Prof. Dr. Mehmet Çınar — Obstetrics & Gynecology, IVF and Reproductive Medicine SpecialistLast updated:
Short answer
Egg freezing (cryopreservation) is considered for women who wish to preserve fertility for the future, for those whose ovarian reserve is declining rapidly, and for patients about to undergo chemotherapy or radiotherapy that may affect fertility. Outcomes are closely related to the age at which eggs are frozen, so the procedure is best planned while a sufficient number of eggs can still be collected.
