Freezing first: insights from 8 years of planned oocyte cryopreservation at an “egg freezing clinic”
Driven by increased awareness and access, patients are undergoing planned OC at younger ages. This study demonstrates high success rates achieved at an "egg freezing clinic", especially among patients who pursue OC at younger ages. It also establishes a framework to estimate the number of euploid embryos from MII oocytes, as well as the likelihood of live birth, stratified by age at OC.
