Is there an age limit for freezing eggs?

There's no fixed age limit for egg freezing, but age is the single most important factor influencing its success. Both the number and quality of your eggs decline over time, with this becoming more noticeable from your mid-30s. As a result, freezing your eggs before the age of 35 generally offers the best chance of success. 

That doesn't mean egg freezing isn't worthwhile after 35. Many people choose to freeze their eggs later and can still benefit from doing so. However, because each egg is less likely to result in a pregnancy, you may need to freeze more eggs and, in some cases, undergo more than one collection cycle. 

In the UK, the average age at egg freezing is around 35, while the average age at which frozen eggs are used is around 40. Because your ovarian reserve is such a key part of the picture, Hertility recommends starting with the Advanced Hormone and Fertility Test to check your AMH before you decide.
