Egg Freezing: What the Cost Covers, How Age Changes Success Rates and What to Ask a Clinic

A colleague of mine keeps a photograph on her desk of a liquid-nitrogen tank, silver and unremarkable, the way some people keep a photo of a beach house they hope to buy. Inside it sit fourteen of her eggs, frozen when she was 33. She calls it her insurance policy, then corrects herself: an option, not a promise.

As of September 2026, search interest in egg freezing cost is climbing again, driven by three things at once: a fresh wave of employer benefit announcements ahead of open-enrollment season, national fertility-clinic data showing steadily rising numbers of fertility-preservation cycles, and viral short-form videos claiming that one cycle in your twenties sets you up for life. The videos rarely mention age-specific success rates, what a quoted price actually includes, or the fact that most women who freeze never return to use their eggs.

This piece does. No price tags, because honest ranges vary too much by country and clinic to print here, but a clear map of what you are paying for, how biology changes the math year by year, and the questions that separate a careful clinic from a confident one.

Why egg freezing cost is trending right now

Three currents have converged. The first is corporate. Fertility benefits that once belonged to a handful of technology employers have spread across finance, retail and healthcare, and every autumn benefit-enrollment window sends a new cohort of employees to search engines asking what egg freezing cost covers and whether their plan pays for it.

The second is data. The CDC has tracked assisted reproductive technology in the United States since the early 1990s, and its national summaries show egg and embryo banking cycles rising year after year, a trend mirrored in the UK, where the regulator reports egg storage as its fastest-growing treatment category. More people freezing means more friends, sisters and coworkers talking about it, which feeds the third current: social media.

Short videos compress a complicated decision into a single number and a single promise. The number is usually a price. The promise is usually that freezing young means never worrying again. Neither survives contact with the evidence. Price depends on how many cycles you need, which depends on age and ovarian reserve, meaning the number of eggs your ovaries can still release. The promise ignores that a frozen egg has to survive thawing, fertilize, grow into a healthy embryo and implant before anyone is holding a baby.

What matters most, in my reading of the evidence, is not the headline figure at all. It is two quieter variables: how old you are on the day of retrieval, and how many mature eggs end up in the tank. Every other detail in this article, from medication to storage contracts, ultimately serves those two.

What changed recently

The single biggest shift in the field is more than a decade old, yet it still shapes today’s conversation. Around 2012 and 2013, professional fertility societies stopped labeling egg freezing as experimental after a technique called vitrification, an ultra-rapid freezing method that turns the egg’s fluid into a glass-like state without forming ice crystals, replaced slow freezing. Mayo Clinic’s patient guidance now describes vitrification as the standard method precisely because survival after thawing improved so dramatically.

In 2016, the largest single-center analysis of elective egg freezing to date was published in Fertility and Sterility, following more than 1,400 women who froze eggs for non-medical reasons. It gave the field its most widely quoted age-and-egg-count curves, and remains the backbone of counseling today.

Regulation moved next. In July 2022, the United Kingdom lengthened the permitted storage period for eggs, sperm and embryos from ten years to a maximum of 55, renewable in ten-year blocks. Before that change, women who froze at 30 faced a legal deadline at 40. For anyone budgeting long-term storage, that was a material shift.

Across the same years, the CDC’s assisted reproductive technology surveillance has recorded a consistent rise in cycles where eggs or embryos were banked rather than transferred immediately. In 2026, the practical consequence is that clinics increasingly publish their own thaw-survival and fertilization figures, and payers increasingly draw a line between medically indicated freezing, for example before chemotherapy, and elective freezing for age-related decline.

What has not changed is the absence of a randomized trial comparing women who froze with women who did not. Everything we know about outcomes comes from observational follow-up, which is why the honest language throughout this article is about probabilities, not guarantees.

What does egg freezing cost actually cover?

Think of a quoted price as a menu with a fixed course and several optional ones. The fixed course is typically the retrieval cycle itself, and understanding its components helps you compare clinics fairly.

The cycle usually begins with a consultation and baseline testing. That means blood tests including anti-Müllerian hormone, or AMH, a hormone made by small follicles that reflects how many eggs remain, plus a transvaginal ultrasound to count antral follicles, the tiny fluid-filled sacs each containing an immature egg. Infectious-disease screening required by law for stored tissue is often included too.

Stimulation follows. Daily hormone injections over roughly ten to fourteen days encourage many follicles to grow at once instead of the single one a natural cycle produces. Monitoring during this window, several ultrasounds and blood draws, is the labor-intensive part of the cycle and is generally bundled.

Retrieval is a short procedure under sedation, usually lasting twenty to thirty minutes, in which an ultrasound-guided needle collects eggs from each follicle. Anesthesia may be itemized separately. The embryology laboratory then assesses maturity and vitrifies the mature eggs, and a first period of storage, often one year, is commonly included.

The optional courses are where surprises live. Medication is frequently billed separately and can vary enormously by dose and protocol. Additional cycles, if the first yields fewer eggs than hoped, repeat almost every line. Storage renews annually. And the entire second act, thawing, fertilizing by intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI, where a single sperm is injected into each egg), culturing embryos and transferring one, is a separate treatment with its own bill years later. A package that looks complete may simply have stopped the menu early.

Is egg freezing like IVF? The process step by step

The short answer: egg freezing is the first half of IVF, paused. Everything up to and including retrieval is identical. The difference is what happens on the laboratory bench afterward. In IVF the eggs meet sperm within hours; in egg freezing they are vitrified unfertilized and wait.

Here is how a cycle unfolds in practice, with the technical terms unpacked as they appear.

• Baseline: a scan and blood tests early in the menstrual cycle confirm the ovaries are quiet and estimate reserve.
• Stimulation: self-administered hormone injections, prescribed and adjusted by the clinic, drive multiple follicles to mature together. Most people continue working through this phase.
• Monitoring: ultrasounds and blood tests every two to three days track follicle size and hormone levels so the team can time the next step.
• Trigger: a final injection completes egg maturation about 36 hours before retrieval.
• Retrieval: under sedation, a fine needle guided by ultrasound passes through the vaginal wall into each follicle. Mayo Clinic describes recovery as typically taking about a week, with cramping and bloating common in the first days.
• Laboratory: embryologists identify which eggs are mature. Only mature eggs are frozen, and the number retrieved is almost always higher than the number stored.
• Vitrification and storage: eggs are placed in protective solution, cooled in seconds and held in liquid nitrogen.

Years later, using the eggs means thawing, ICSI, several days of embryo culture, and a transfer cycle in which the uterus is prepared with hormones. Each step carries attrition, which is why clinics count success not per egg but per group of eggs, and why the number frozen matters as much as the fact of freezing.

How egg freezing age changes success rates

Age acts on two things simultaneously: how many eggs a stimulation cycle yields, and how many of those eggs are chromosomally normal. Both decline, and they decline faster after the mid-thirties.

Quantity is easier to measure. A woman is born with all the eggs she will ever have, and the pool shrinks continuously. Antral follicle count and AMH fall with age, and the number of eggs collected per cycle falls with them. Someone at 30 might reasonably expect a double-digit harvest from one cycle; someone at 40 often needs two or three cycles to reach the same total.

Quality is the harder half. As eggs age, errors in chromosome division become more common, so a larger share of embryos created from older eggs carry an abnormal number of chromosomes and fail to implant or miscarry. This is why the same fifteen frozen eggs carry very different odds at 32 and at 39.

The best available numbers come from the 2016 Fertility and Sterility cohort, indexed in PubMed. In women who froze at 35 or younger, storing about ten mature eggs was associated with a cumulative live-birth probability of roughly 60 percent, rising to about 85 percent with fifteen eggs. For women 36 and older, ten eggs corresponded to roughly 30 percent, and adding more eggs raised the odds only modestly. These are single-center observational figures, not trial results, and they describe a group, not any individual.

Two caveats matter. First, egg freezing does not stop time for the rest of the body; pregnancy at 44 with eggs frozen at 34 still carries the maternal risks of pregnancy at 44. Second, the NHS notes that per-egg success is low across all ages, which is exactly why the counting exercise in the next sections exists.

Egg freezing at 35, 34 or 39: how much does one year matter?

People ask about 34 and 35 as if a trapdoor opens on a birthday. It does not. Decline is a slope, not a cliff, but 35 is where most large datasets draw their statistical line because the slope steepens noticeably from there.

Is 34 too late to freeze eggs? No. On the evidence, 34 sits comfortably inside the higher-success age band, and many fertility specialists describe the early thirties as a sweet spot: old enough that a meaningful share of women will actually return to use their eggs, young enough that a single cycle often yields a useful number. Freezing much earlier, in the mid-twenties, produces excellent eggs but most of those eggs are never needed, because the majority of women conceive naturally before the tank is opened.

Egg freezing at 35 remains a reasonable option with somewhat lower per-egg odds than at 30, and a slightly higher chance of needing two cycles to reach a target count. The difference between 34 and 35 in the published curves is small; the difference between 35 and 39 is not.

Is it worth freezing eggs at 39? This is where honesty matters more than encouragement. At 39, per-egg live-birth probability is meaningfully lower, more cycles are usually required, and the plateau in the older-age curve means that even large numbers of eggs do not restore younger odds. Some women at 39 will do well; group averages say fewer will. Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic both frame the decision at this age as one that depends heavily on individual reserve testing rather than age alone.

What tips the balance is intent. A 39-year-old who knows she wants a child within two years may be better served discussing immediate treatment options with a clinician than freezing for a future that is close at hand. A 39-year-old facing chemotherapy has a different calculus entirely.

What the evidence actually says, graded by strength

Readers deserve to know not just what the data show but how much weight each finding can bear. Here is the landscape, ranked.

Strong observational evidence, no randomized trials. No study has randomly assigned women to freeze or not freeze and compared eventual family size. Such a trial would be ethically and practically impossible. Every outcome figure in this field therefore comes from cohorts of women who chose freezing, followed forward. That design can describe probabilities well but cannot rule out that women who freeze differ systematically from those who do not.

Consistent findings across cohorts. Egg survival after vitrification and warming is typically in the range of 80 to 90 percent in experienced laboratories, and fertilization rates for thawed eggs approach those of fresh eggs in the same age group. Multiple centers in Europe and the United States report similar patterns, which strengthens confidence.

Age-and-number curves: moderate strength. The 2016 cohort remains the largest elective series, but the absolute numbers who returned to use their eggs were modest, around one in eight at the time of publication, so confidence intervals around the higher egg counts are wide. Later series broadly agree on direction while differing in detail.

Child health: reassuring but limited. Studies of children born from vitrified eggs have not identified an increase in birth defects or developmental problems compared with fresh IVF, according to Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic summaries. The total number of such children followed into later childhood is still relatively small.

Expert opinion. Recommendations on the ideal age to freeze, or on how many eggs to target, blend the above data with clinical judgment. They are sensible, widely shared, and should be read as guidance rather than settled fact.

The honest summary: freezing works, younger works better, more mature eggs work better, and nobody can tell you your individual odds with precision.

How many eggs do you need to freeze? A summary table

Because the number of stored mature eggs drives both success and the number of cycles, and therefore the total bill, it helps to see how the variables move together. The table below summarizes what observational cohorts suggest for a group of women at each age. Individual reserve can place a person well above or below her age band.

Age at freezing	Typical mature eggs per cycle	Approximate cumulative live-birth chance with about 10 eggs	With about 15 eggs	Evidence strength
Under 35	Often 10 or more	Roughly 60%	Roughly 85%	Large single-center cohort, consistent with smaller series
35 to 37	Frequently 8 to 12	Lower than under-35, band still favorable	Rises with each added egg	Moderate; fewer returners in this band
38 to 40	Often 5 to 10	Roughly 30%	Roughly 35%, plateau effect	Moderate; wide confidence intervals
Over 40	Frequently under 6	Low	Modest gain per extra egg	Limited; small numbers

Several patterns stand out. Below 35, every additional egg buys a substantial jump in probability, which is why a second cycle can be a rational investment if the first falls short. After 38, the curve flattens: more eggs help, but chromosomal quality caps the return, and the third or fourth cycle often adds less than hoped.

Notice also the gap between eggs retrieved and eggs frozen. Immature eggs cannot be vitrified for later use, so a retrieval of twelve might store nine. When a clinic quotes average eggs per cycle, ask whether that is retrieved or mature. The distinction can equal an entire extra cycle in your plan.

Egg freezing cost factors: why two quotes for the same procedure differ

Two women of the same age can leave two clinics with quotes that look nothing alike, and neither clinic is necessarily overcharging. The variation lies in what is being counted and in the biology each patient brings.

Ovarian reserve. Lower AMH and antral follicle counts typically mean higher medication requirements and a greater likelihood of a second cycle. A clinic that quotes per cycle may look cheaper than one quoting a multi-cycle plan until you realize you will probably need both cycles.

Medication protocol. Stimulation drugs are often the largest single variable and are frequently excluded from headline packages. Protocol choice, individual response and whether a milder approach is used all shift this line, and the decision rests with the prescribing clinician.

Monitoring intensity. Some centers schedule more frequent scans, or offer remote monitoring at satellite sites, changing both convenience and cost structure.

Laboratory accreditation and reporting. Laboratories that publish thaw-survival and fertilization figures, and hold recognized accreditation, may price differently from those that do not. This is one of the few places where paying attention to what is behind the quote is directly linked to the outcome you are buying.

Storage terms. First-year storage is often bundled; subsequent years, renewal contracts and transfer fees if you move clinics are not. Given that most women will not use their eggs for five to ten years, storage can quietly become a significant share of the lifetime total.

Geography. Prices vary by country and city according to labor, regulation and demand. International patients should factor travel, accommodation and the possibility of monitoring in two countries.

The takeaway is not that one model is better. It is that the only fair comparison is a fully itemized, multi-cycle scenario built on your own reserve test results.

Will insurance cover egg freezing?

Coverage splits cleanly along one line: whether the freezing is medically indicated or elective.

Medically indicated fertility preservation, most commonly before chemotherapy, radiation or surgery that can damage the ovaries, is increasingly recognized by payers. In the United States, a growing number of states require insurers to cover fertility preservation when a medical treatment is expected to cause infertility, and the NHS in the UK funds egg or embryo storage for people facing such treatment, with local eligibility criteria. Anyone about to start cancer treatment should raise fertility preservation with their oncology team immediately, since timing before treatment is critical.

Elective freezing for age-related decline is a different picture. Public health systems, including the NHS, generally do not fund it. Standard private health insurance often excludes it, although this is changing. Employer-sponsored fertility benefits, which have expanded markedly in recent years, frequently cover some or all of an elective cycle, sometimes with lifetime maximums or cycle limits, and sometimes covering medication but not storage or the reverse.

Practical steps that consistently pay off:

• Ask your benefits administrator specifically about fertility preservation, not just infertility treatment; the two are often coded differently.
• Request the plan language in writing, including any requirement for a diagnosis of infertility, which elective freezers by definition will not have.
• Clarify whether medication, monitoring, anesthesia and storage are each covered, since these are the items most often carved out.
• Check whether the plan restricts you to a network of clinics.

Where coverage is absent, clinics may offer multi-cycle programs or financing. Read those terms with the same care you would a mortgage: what happens to the fee if a cycle is cancelled for poor response, and whether unused cycles are refundable.

Risks and side effects of egg freezing

For a healthy person, egg freezing is generally safe, but it is a medical procedure with medication, sedation and a needle, and it deserves the same clear-eyed risk discussion as any other.

The most talked-about complication is ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, or OHSS, a condition in which the ovaries over-respond to stimulation, swell, and leak fluid into the abdomen. Mild bloating and discomfort are common and expected; moderate to severe OHSS, with rapid weight gain, significant abdominal swelling, nausea, vomiting and shortness of breath, is uncommon and has become rarer with modern protocols, particularly because egg freezing avoids the pregnancy hormones that can worsen it. Younger women and those with polycystic ovaries carry higher risk.

Retrieval carries small procedural risks: bleeding, infection, and very rarely injury to bowel, bladder or blood vessels. Cleveland Clinic lists ovarian torsion, in which an enlarged ovary twists on its supporting tissue and cuts off its blood supply, as a rare but serious possibility that presents as sudden, severe one-sided pelvic pain.

Medication side effects during stimulation commonly include bloating, breast tenderness, mood shifts, headaches and injection-site bruising. They typically resolve within a week or two of retrieval as hormone levels settle.

Emotional risk is real and underdiscussed. A cycle that yields fewer eggs than expected can be genuinely distressing, and so can the realization that a stored egg count does not translate into certainty. Good clinics build counseling into the pathway rather than treating it as an add-on.

On long-term safety, current evidence has not shown that stimulation for egg freezing increases cancer risk or brings menopause earlier; the eggs collected would otherwise have been lost that month. The follow-up data, while reassuring, remain observational.

Common myths about egg freezing, corrected

Viral claims travel faster than cohort studies. Here are the ones most worth unlearning.

Myth: freezing your eggs guarantees a baby later. No frozen egg guarantees anything. Each egg must survive thawing, fertilize, develop into a healthy embryo and implant. The evidence describes cumulative probabilities that rise with egg number and fall with age, and even the most favorable groups do not reach certainty.

Myth: one cycle is always enough. One cycle is often enough under 35 for a woman with typical reserve. Above 37, or with lower reserve at any age, two or more cycles are common. Budgeting for one when your reserve test suggests two is the most frequent planning error.

Myth: freezing eggs uses up your supply and brings menopause sooner. Stimulation rescues eggs that were already destined to be lost that cycle. It does not draw down the future pool, and observational follow-up has not linked it to earlier menopause.

Myth: frozen eggs go bad after ten years. Eggs held in liquid nitrogen do not age biologically. Time limits on storage have been legal, not biological, which is why the UK extended its limit to 55 years in 2022.

Myth: babies born from frozen eggs have more health problems. Studies to date, summarized by Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic, have not found increased rates of birth defects compared with fresh IVF. The number of children followed long-term is still growing, so the finding is reassuring rather than final.

Myth: egg freezing is the same as embryo freezing. Embryos require sperm at the time of freezing and are generally more robust through thawing, but they commit you to a specific genetic partner. Eggs keep that decision open.

Myth: a high AMH means young, high-quality eggs. AMH predicts how many eggs a cycle may yield. It says nothing about chromosomal quality, which tracks age.

What to ask a clinic before you commit

The quality of a clinic’s answers tells you as much as the answers themselves. Vague replies to precise questions are a signal.

On outcomes: What is your laboratory’s egg survival rate after thawing, and over how many thaw cycles is that figure based? What proportion of thawed eggs fertilize? How many live births has this laboratory achieved from eggs frozen here, as distinct from national averages? A center with strong numbers will usually volunteer them.

On your plan: Based on my AMH and antral follicle count, how many mature eggs do you expect from one cycle, and how many would you recommend I aim to store for my age? How likely is it that I will need a second cycle? What happens to the fee if a cycle is cancelled for poor response before retrieval?

On the itemized quote: Is medication included? Anesthesia? How many monitoring visits are covered, and what does an extra visit cost? How many years of storage are included, and what is the renewal process? Are there fees to transfer eggs to another clinic or to withdraw consent?

On the future: When I return to use the eggs, what does the thaw, ICSI, culture and transfer pathway involve here, and is there any age limit on treatment at this clinic? Do you offer or require genetic testing of embryos, and how is that decided?

On safety and support: How do you reduce the risk of OHSS in someone with my profile? Who do I call at night if I develop severe pain? Is counseling part of the pathway?

On accreditation: Which body inspects your laboratory, and when was the last inspection?

Bring the answers home in writing. A clinic that hesitates to put its figures on paper is telling you something, and a clinic that answers every question calmly, with numbers and caveats, is showing you how it will treat you when the results are not what anyone hoped.

When to see a doctor

Two kinds of appointment matter here: the one before you decide, and the urgent one you hope never to need.

Before deciding, a consultation with a fertility specialist is worthwhile if you are weighing egg freezing at any age, and particularly if you have irregular or absent periods, a family history of early menopause, a diagnosis of endometriosis or polycystic ovary syndrome, previous ovarian surgery, or a scheduled medical treatment such as chemotherapy that could affect fertility. A reserve assessment gives you real numbers to plan around rather than age-band averages. If you are 39 or older and hoping for a pregnancy soon, ask the clinician to compare freezing with proceeding directly to treatment.

During or after a cycle, seek urgent medical care if you notice any of the following, which can signal OHSS, ovarian torsion, bleeding, infection or a blood clot:

• Severe or rapidly worsening abdominal pain or swelling, or sudden intense pain on one side
• Rapid weight gain over a day or two, or a noticeably tight, distended abdomen
• Persistent nausea and vomiting, or inability to keep fluids down
• Passing much less urine than usual, or dark urine
• Shortness of breath, chest pain, or a racing heartbeat
• Fever, chills, or foul-smelling vaginal discharge after retrieval
• Heavy vaginal bleeding soaking a pad an hour
• Pain, swelling or redness in one calf, or a sudden headache with vision changes

Contact your clinic’s emergency line first if you can, since they know your protocol; if symptoms are severe, go to the nearest emergency department and tell them you have recently undergone ovarian stimulation. Mild bloating, cramping and spotting for a few days are expected and usually settle; anything escalating rather than easing warrants a call.

Every decision about medication, protocol, cycle number and future use belongs with your treating clinician, who can see your results in full. This article can sharpen your questions; it cannot replace that conversation.

Frequently asked questions

Is 34 too late to freeze eggs?

No. At 34 you remain inside the age band where published cohorts show the most favorable per-egg outcomes, and a single cycle often produces a useful number of mature eggs. The steeper part of the decline in both egg quantity and chromosomal quality typically begins after 35, so many specialists regard the early to mid-thirties as a sensible window. Individual reserve testing matters more than the exact birthday.

Will insurance cover egg freezing?

It depends on the reason and the plan. Freezing before medical treatment that can damage fertility, such as chemotherapy, is covered by a growing number of US state mandates and by public systems such as the NHS under local criteria. Elective freezing for age is usually excluded from standard insurance and public funding, though employer fertility benefits increasingly cover part or all of a cycle. Ask specifically about medication, storage and cycle limits.

Is egg freezing like IVF?

Yes, up to a point. Stimulation, monitoring and retrieval are identical to the first half of IVF. The difference is that eggs are vitrified unfertilized instead of being mixed with sperm. Fertilization, embryo culture and transfer happen years later if you decide to use the eggs, as a separate treatment with its own timeline and bill.

Is it worth freezing eggs at 39?

It can be, but expectations should be adjusted. At 39, each mature egg carries a lower live-birth probability, more cycles are typically needed to reach a target number, and the success curve flattens so that extra eggs add less. Reserve testing, your timeline and whether pregnancy is wanted soon all shape the answer. Discuss freezing alongside immediate treatment options with a fertility specialist.

What are typical egg freezing success rates per egg?

Low per egg, meaningful per group. Roughly 80 to 90 percent of vitrified eggs survive thawing in experienced laboratories, but only a fraction of survivors become healthy embryos that implant. Cohort data suggest each mature egg frozen under 35 adds a few percentage points to cumulative live-birth probability, which is why ten to fifteen eggs is a common planning target and why clinics count success per cohort of eggs rather than per egg.

What is the best egg freezing age?

Biologically, younger is better, but practically the early thirties are often described as the balance point. Eggs frozen in the mid-twenties are excellent quality, yet most of those women conceive naturally and never use them. By 32 to 35, quality remains good, a single cycle often yields enough eggs, and the likelihood of actually returning to the tank is higher. After 37, more cycles are usually needed.

How long does an egg freezing cycle take?

About two to three weeks from the first injection to retrieval. Stimulation runs roughly ten to fourteen days with monitoring visits every few days, followed by a trigger injection and a twenty to thirty minute retrieval under sedation about 36 hours later. Most people return to normal activity within a week. Baseline testing beforehand may add several weeks of preparation, and a second cycle typically starts after at least one natural period.

How many eggs should I freeze at 35?

Many specialists suggest aiming for around ten to fifteen mature eggs at 35, based on cohort data showing cumulative live-birth chances climbing substantially across that range for women 35 and under. Whether one cycle reaches that target depends on your antral follicle count and AMH. Your clinician can estimate the expected yield from your own results and advise whether a second cycle is likely.

Does egg freezing hurt?

Most people describe it as uncomfortable rather than painful. Injections cause brief stings and occasional bruising; bloating and pelvic pressure build as follicles grow. The retrieval is performed under sedation, so you do not feel the procedure itself. Cramping and spotting afterward usually ease within a few days. Severe or escalating pain is not expected and should prompt a call to the clinic.

Can frozen eggs expire or lose quality in storage?

Not biologically. At liquid-nitrogen temperature, all cellular activity stops, and healthy births have followed storage lasting well over a decade. Any time limit on keeping eggs is regulatory, such as the UK maximum of 55 years introduced in 2022, or contractual, tied to your clinic’s storage agreement and renewal terms. What does age is the person who eventually carries the pregnancy, which affects maternal health planning.
