‘Social’ Oocyte Freezing
Egg freezing for ‘social’ reason (no partner to start family with) became the newest service for ART patients. Women, often single who are not ready to start families enthusiastically welcomed new avenue to preserve declining youth and fertility. Many centers advertise egg-freezing services claiming uniform success in predicting frozen gametes (oocytes) future. ‘Freeze your eggs now and enjoy motherhood in 20 years!’. Nobody today can guarantee that individual Egg Banking is a SURE alternative to getting pregnant at the younger age regardless of all glossy promises. Long term experience with frozen sperm and frozen embryos should curb overwhelming optimism. Egg donor pregnancy rates using frozen donor eggs are lower than fresh egg cycles
