See your real egg-freezing odds, not a sales pitch.
No, egg freezing improves your odds but never guarantees a baby. Outcome depends mostly on your age when you freeze and how many mature eggs you bank. A 34-year-old who freezes 20 eggs has roughly a 90% modeled chance of at least one live birth; a 42-year-old with 20 eggs is closer to 37%.
Freezing eggs is a bet on your future fertility. We show you the actual odds, your chance of a live birth by age and egg count, using the published science, with the math and the sources in plain sight.
Your odds of a live birth from frozen eggs
Based on the published Goldman 2017 counseling model. Enter your age at freezing and how many mature eggs you'd bank.
A model estimate, not a promise. The realistic range applies the study's own 19% downward adjustment for frozen-vs-fresh eggs; your clinic's lab and your biology shift it further. See the math →
Egg freezing success rate by age & egg count
Modeled chance of at least one live birth from frozen eggs, by age at freezing and number of mature eggs banked. Estimates from the Goldman 2017 model, directional, not a guarantee.
| Age at freezing | 10 eggs | 15 eggs | 20 eggs | 25 eggs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 33 | 75% | 87% | 94% | 97% |
| 35 | 67% | 81% | 89% | 94% |
| 37 | 48% | 62% | 73% | 80% |
| 38 | 41% | 54% | 65% | 73% |
| 40 | 27% | 38% | 47% | 55% |
| 42 | 16% | 24% | 30% | 36% |
What actually moves your odds
Your age, most of all
Egg quality, the share that become chromosomally normal embryos, falls from ~57% under 35 to under 13% by 44. Age at freezing is the single biggest lever, far bigger than egg count.
How many you bank
More eggs buys more chances, but with diminishing returns. The older you are, the more eggs each live birth costs, often meaning two or three retrieval cycles.
The lab between
Eggs must survive thawing, fertilize, grow to blastocyst, and test normal before any transfer. Each step has a survival rate. We show that whole funnel, nothing hidden.
The honest side of the decision
of women who freeze eggs ever return to use them. Most never need to, they conceive naturally or change plans. Freezing buys an option, not an obligation.
regret it after freezing, versus the majority who regret not freezing. A 2023 study found ~9% of women who froze had moderate-to-severe regret, against 51% of those who decided against it.
158 egg-freezing clinics, independently verified
The odds are only half the decision, the lab and the doctor decide the rest. We list 158 clinics across 3 countries, each multi-source verified, with 100 holding a named, board-certified reproductive specialist. No clinic pays to be listed or to rank.

Answer the question you actually have
How many eggs?
The number you need for 1 or 2 children, by age, and how many cycles that may take.
Success rate by age
The full data table and what the odds really look like at 35, 38, 40 and beyond.
What it costs
The real total, multiple cycles, medications and a decade of storage, not just one cycle.
How it works
From retrieval to live birth: the survival funnel that every odds estimate is built on.
Eggs vs embryos
If you have a partner or donor sperm, which preserves more, and at what trade-off?
Best age to freeze
Why the "ideal" window is earlier than most people think, and what to do if you're past it.
