Female Fertility Preservation & Egg Freezing

Women should be urged to freeze their eggs by the age of 35 as their chances of having a baby naturally plummet after they turn 38, scientists have said.

The authors of a new study say women should be encouraged to start families earlier, before their chances of conceiving "decrease significantly".

Researchers in Spain analysed nearly 4,200 women who underwent 5,841 IVF cycles in four groups aged between 38 and 44.

Lead researcher Dr Marta Devesa said: "Women should be encouraged to have families earlier but if you can't change society then we should encourage them to freeze their eggs by 35.

"Indeed women of 44 or older should be fully informed about their real chances of a live birth and counselled in favour of oocyte (immature egg) donation."

The study found would-be mothers were 18 times less likely to have a baby through in vitro fertilisation (IVF) at 44 than at 38, when the chances of success are about 24%.

Birth rates were shown to fall from 24% for those aged 38 and 39 to 15% for 40 and 41-year-olds, 6.6% for women aged 42 and 43 and just 1.3% for those 44 and above.

Fertility experts said the findings of the 12-year study showed women needed to be better informed about fertility and had perhaps been misled by "good news stories about celebrities".

Professor Adam Balen, the chairman of the British Fertility Society and a consultant in Leeds, told the Daily Telegraph: "While you hear lots of good news stories about celebrities who may have given birth at an older age, nobody knows the number of celebrities who may not have been able to have babies, either because of infertility or possibly even having had fertility treatment that has been unsuccessful.

"There is always a strong possibility that many of these celebrities may well have sought the assistance of a fertility clinic and may have conceived either with IVF or donor eggs."
