Egg freezing keeps options open. It is not a guarantee of a future pregnancy. These six questions help you get a straight answer about your own situation.
1. What do my AMH and follicle count suggest?
They predict how many eggs one cycle may yield. Your physician should give you a range for your own numbers, in writing.
2. How many eggs would you aim for at my age?
That depends on your age at freezing and on how many children you may want. Ask for the reasoning, not just a target.
3. Might I need more than one cycle?
Some patients do. Knowing early helps you plan time off and budget.
4. What exactly does the price include?
Ours covers monitoring, retrieval, anesthesia, vitrification and the first year of storage for $9,800. Medications are billed separately by the pharmacy, usually $3,000 to $5,000.
5. What happens when I want to use them?
Eggs are thawed, fertilized with ICSI, grown to embryos and transferred. Budget about $6,900 for that later step at today’s prices.
6. Can I move my eggs?
Yes. Frozen eggs can be shipped to another clinic, and storage is billed yearly with no long contract.
