The vitrification of ovules is the most effective solution at the time of extending a woman’s fertility should she choose to delay maternity. However, as one would expect, at the time of choosing this treatment, many women have doubts on when that correct moment actually is. For this reason, the question is repeated time after time: At what age should I vitrify my eggs to conserve my fertility as long as possible?
Beyond the personal, work or even sociological reasons which pertain to each individual woman’s case, there is a biological factor which can be applied practically across the board: 35 years of age. This is the optimum maximum age limit to take the decision to vitrify the ovules and in so doing conserve fertility at the highest level possible.
Currently, maternity is delayed for many reasons, however as a woman ages so does the ovule’s age. Numerous medical studies show that the oocytes which are older than 35 years of age present signs of deterioration and lower quality, which in turn reduces the possibility of achieving a pregnancy.
For this reason, the conservation of a female’s fertility is especially indicated for;
- Women who wish to delay maternity beyond 35 years of age.
- Women younger than 35 years of age, who have low ovarian reserve counts.
- Women who are due to undergo medical treatments which put at risk the oocyte’s survival, such as chemotherapy
Planning your maternity
At the time of starting a family, the number of factors in play on the table is nearly limitless. Choosing the perfect moment is really complex, but the option of waiting for that perfect time does exist. In connection with this a woman’s own process of maturity plays a defining role, as do other factors such as one’s work status, family stability or each individual’s own personal situation. There is no magic wand or mathematical formula which indicates the perfect time but being able to rely on a margin of years and on a reliable fertility process provides a support to help overcome those moments of uncertainty.
