Why Women Over 30 Should Consider Freezing Their Eggs

About this video

Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi discusses egg freezing for women over 30, including at 35, and says she always recommends it because only one good egg is needed and you cannot know whether you will get it. For PCOS patients, she notes many eggs can be retrieved though quality may be poor. She generally advises freezing 20 eggs, and possibly 40 for older patients with PCOS.
