Many women before the age of 40 freeze their eggs because they are still waiting for the man of their dreams.
Research conducted at a Belgian clinic showed that nearly half wanted to freeze their eggs to ease the tension associated with finding a mate. In turn, one third did so in order to obtain a specific insurance policy in the event of infertility.
Another UK study indicates that many female students would also consider a venture to focus on a career ahead of motherhood. Of the 8 study participants studying medicine, 10 out of XNUMX would do so to delay starting a family.
Of the remaining students, half said they would consider such a decision.
Egg freezing is still a new technology. It allows you to store cells that can be used in the case of in vitro fertilization.
The chances of success are greater the younger and healthier the cells are. However, most women who choose to do so are under the age of 40. This is the last call to freeze cells.
Clare Lewis-Jones of the UK’s Infertility Network says it is very important that people are aware of the importance of the passage of time in their fertility.
Many women today choose to postpone having children. They should be supported in this and protected from potential problems that they may face when they decide to become a mother, ‘said Clare Lewis-Jones.
Age affects the fertility of both men and women who, when they finally find + the right one +, may discover that he has a fertility problem. Therefore, you also need to be aware that fertility treatment does not always guarantee success, adds Lewis-Jones. (PAP)
