Freeze eggs at 30 if you want babies later

Freeze eggs at 30 if you want babies later

    Women, who have hit 30, should freeze their eggs as an ‘insurance policy’ for having babies later on, says a recent study.
    According to researchers from the US Government, anyone who hasn’t met her Mr Right or is intent on pursuing their career should consider paying up to 5,000 pounds to ‘bank’ their eggs as not only will their chances of having babies be higher but they will also save money as they won’t have to pay for IVF later in life.
    The researchers claim if these women were to freeze their eggs aged 30 and then have them re-inserted 10 years later, their chances of having a baby would be 5 times greater.
    The experts have worked out that a 40-year-old woman who uses eggs frozen when she was 30 has a 75 % chance of falling pregnant as compared to a 40-year-old on IVF who has less than a 15 % chance.
    “You take a 30-year-old lawyer — she knows that she wants children someday but she’s getting concerned because she knows that 10 years goes by before she’s in that position,” said Dr Kate Devine, from the agency of the US’s Department of Health. “So her options at that point are to freeze eggs or not to freeze eggs. If you’re sure you’re not going to get pregnant until you’re 40, the younger the better. So long as you freeze your eggs before 35 you have a 75 per cent chance of having a live birth,” she said.
