How Long Before Starting a Family? The Egg Freezing Debate #5

Freezing Eggs: An Emerging Trend?

Prioritizing your education, career, and the right partner before pregnancy? At 35, you could opt to collect and freeze your eggs for later use when ready. The National College of Gynecologists-Obstetricians (CNGOF) supports this, but parliamentarians have rejected it, insisting egg freezing should aid medical cases, not those delaying for lifestyle reasons.

Professor Olivier Olivennes, a leading gynecologist-obstetrician, remains skeptical: "How can women without a current pregnancy desire pursue oocyte collection and storage? Success rates aren't assured, and it may help only a few."
