The Best Age to Freeze Eggs and How Dr. Rachael Knight Can Help

The ideal age to freeze eggs is in your early 30s. This is because a woman’s egg quantity and quality start to decline after the age of 35, making it harder to conceive later in life. Freezing eggs while you’re still in your 20s or early 30s provides a higher chance of success, as eggs are generally of better quality and are more likely to result in a healthy pregnancy when thawed and fertilised. If you freeze eggs in your 20s you are much less likely to use them in future.

After 35, egg quality decreases more rapidly, and the chances of chromosomal abnormalities increase, which can lead to a higher risk of miscarriage and difficulties in achieving pregnancy. While it’s still possible to freeze eggs in your late 30s and early 40s, the success rates are generally much, much lower, and fewer eggs are available for freezing.

Dr Rachael Knight specialises in helping women preserve their fertility through egg freezing. Dr Rachael Knight offers a personalized consultation to assess your individual fertility and guide you through the egg freezing process. Here’s how Dr Rachael Knight and her team can help:

1. Fertility Assessment
   Dr Rachael Knight provides comprehensive fertility testing to assess your ovarian reserve, including ultrasound and blood tests to measure hormone levels. This helps determine the best time for egg freezing and how many eggs may be retrieved.
2. Egg Retrieval Process
   Dr Rachael Knight and her experienced fertility nurses will guide you through the egg retrieval process, which involves stimulating the ovaries with hormone injections to produce multiple eggs. These eggs are then carefully collected in a minor surgical procedure.
3. Freezing and Storage
   Once the eggs are retrieved, they are frozen and stored for future use. Life Fertility Clinic offers state-of-the-art freezing techniques to ensure the best chance of successful thawing and fertilisation in the future.
4. Emotional Support
   Life Fertility Clinic Melbourne’s counsellors also provide emotional support, helping you navigate the decisions and challenges of egg freezing.

The best time to freeze your eggs is before the age of 35, as this maximizes your chances of having healthy eggs later in life. Dr Rachael Knight and her team at Life Fertility Clinic Melbourne offers a compassionate, professional environment where you can preserve your fertility and plan for the future.
