The service will enable women to bank their eggs during their reproductive prime – ideally by age 35 or younger – for potential use in the future. To date, 12 pregnancies have been established with an aggregate egg survival rate of 85% and pregnancy rate of 60%.
Christy Jones, founder and CEO of Extend Fertility, said: “Egg freezing can prevent the natural decrease in fertility that occurs with advancing age. By giving women more options around their fertility, egg freezing has the potential to become as powerful as the birth control pill in women’s reproductive health.”
