Question: Should I consider egg freezing…?

“I am 27, married and we want to postpone my pregnancy for sometime in the future, actually preserve my eggs. Is egg freezing suitable and when should I consider it?”

Answer: Egg freezing can be beneficial in a number of situations but…

“It is important to know that taking this step at the right age-frame is important, like between the 20s and early 30s when the quality and quantity of a woman’s eggs are best. So if one wants to postpone having a baby due to personal goals or for medical compulsions, doing so in the prime reproductive years is advised.”
