9 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT EGG FREEZING

Egg freezing is a relatively new concept. The process ofrapid freezing, where eggs are immersed in liquidnitrogen and rapidly chilled, was only invented in 2005,and it was only declared mainstream rather thanexperimental as a fertility treatment in 2012. Argumentsabout failure rates can get pretty heated: clinicians pointto the fact that it seems to have the same baby-makingsuccess as IVF with a non-frozen egg (there are a lot ofsimilarities between the procedures), but others don'tthink that rate's good enough - it averages 20-35 percent- to justify the expense and invasiveness.

Getting Your Eggs Ready To Be Harvested Can Take A Month
Harvesting eggs (above) from your nethers isn't amatter of going in, having them scraped off, andwandering on your merry way. The process ofpreparing for egg harvest is very similar to IVF:you're injected with hormones that stimulate eggproduction and often put on birth control as well.This can take over a month, and is liable to give youhormonal side affects, including hot flashes, nausea,and headaches.
Once your body's produced excess eggs, they'reremoved (while you're knocked out, don't worry) bya needle into the vagina. Sexy, right? Up till thispoint the procedure is identical to IVF - it's whatcomes next that marks it as different.
Your Eggs Can Be Frozen Either Quickly Or Slowly
You may not know this, but there are two different waysto freeze eggs once they've been taken out of your system.One is called vitrification, where eggs are rapidlydehydrated using antifreeze (yes, that antifreeze, and no,it doesn't harm them) and then plunged into liquidnitrogen, freezing them.
There's another way, too, which is older and can lead tomore damage to the eggs. It's known as slow freeze, andinvolves gradually freezing the eggs — but most clinicsnow use the vitrification method, which was invented in2005, as it's less likely to cause any problems with theeggs' viability when they're eventually thawed.
Eggs Are Kept Frozen At -320° F
This is an industry standard. To give you some idea(not that it's possible), the lowest wintertemperature ever recorded in the Antarctic, thecoldest place on Earth, is -128.56°. In technicalterms, it is f*cking cold.
When You're Ready, They're Thawed & Fertilized
Getting a frozen egg ready for pregnancy isn't left up tochance. Instead, once it's thawed - which happens incrediblyrapidly, usually in a day, through immersion in warmingliquid - it's fertilized by fresh semen from your chosen baby-daddy, using an injection directly into the egg. Then, after 16hours, the egg that have been injected are inspected, to see ifany have been fertilized and become embryos.
They continue to be watched for three to five days, and that'swhen a fertilized embryo might be implanted in your uterus -which, by the way, has been prepared for the possibility by acourse of ovary-blocking medication, so it's not producingnew eggs.
Only 5,000 Babies Have Been Made Using Frozen Eggs
Exact data is hard to come by, but only 5,000 babies areestimated to have been successfully born thanks to frozen eggs.The longest anybody has seen an egg thawed successfully is 10years, but that was an aberration: most common freezingperiods are measured in months, not years. Nobody's everstudied whether the eggs could survive any longer, andclinicians will not recommend that you risk it.
The Success Rate Is Only 24 Percent
Out of 414 egg thaws in 2013, according to TIME, 83 live babiesresulted. It's a success rate of 24 percent - which is good, but notearth-shattering. It's also dependent on what age you are whenyou freeze your eggs: the older you are, the more likely theeggs won't be viable. So you should do a lot of research on thefinancial commitments and your family history of infertilitybefore you go ahead; it may not be the right choice for you.
The Minimum Recommended Number Of Eggs To Freeze Is 10
Want to up your chances of a future baby as much as possible?Do a batch of eggs in one go. The normal numberrecommended by clinics is 10-20 - because it makes thepossibility of a viable thawed egg that becomes fertilized a lotmore probable. It's a "just in case" situation - there are a lot ofreasons that eggs may not become embryos or survive thefreezing process intact, so more eggs means more probability.

The Cost Of The Procedure Is More Expensive Than Storing The Eggs
The two big expenses of freezing your eggs are at the start andthe end. The freezing process will cost an average of $10,000,plus fertility drugs, and the thawing and fertilization will takeanother $10,000 chunk. Depending on your state, your clinic,and other ideas - like whether you're part of an egg-sharingprogram where other women may use your eggs - the cost ofstoring the eggs is calculated yearly, and hits at about $500.Because fertility treatment is normally viewed as an electiveprocedure, it's unlikely that insurance will cover it.

You Can Also Freeze Fertilized Embryos Instead
Eggs are delicate things, and not all of them may make it outof the nitrogen vat with the capability to bear a kid. There is,however, another option: if you already have a partner orsperm donor picked out, it's possible to freeze a fertilizedembryo too. People sometimes do this with unused eggsafter an IVF cycle: the egg is injected with sperm, fertilized,and then frozen indefinitely. Unfortunately, this can lead tolegal complications if you then break up, as Sofia Vergara'slegal battle over embryos with ex - fiance Nick Loebdemonstrates.

Whatever your choices, make sure you've got
all your financial, legal, health, and emotional
ducks in a row before you make the plunge. Or
duck eggs, as it were.
