Below is How Much Is It To freeze Eggs In South Africa

Why do women consider freezing their eggs?

Women are born with their full supply of eggs, which is approximately 1 – 2 million at birth.

As women age, their egg count and quality (genetic normality) decrease, and therefore the chances of a successful pregnancy also decrease.

Women consider freezing their eggs for any condition/circumstance that might affect their fertility and family planning.

By preserving
younger eggs now, you increase your chances of starting a family later in life, using your own
eggs.

Reasons women freeze their eggs could include:

• Medical conditions and treatment that could affect fertility, for example, chemotherapy.

• Not having found the right partner with whom to start a family.

• Being in a relationship, but not ready to start a family.

• Not the right time in life, to start a family e.g. seeking financial stability-, pursuing a career

prior to starting a family.

At what age is it best to freeze eggs?

We encourage women to freeze their eggs before they turn 35, as egg quality decreases
rapidly mid 30’s. This being said, you are the youngest today that you will ever be.

The older you are when you freeze your eggs, the more eggs you need to freeze in order to increase
your chances of a successful pregnancy.
