Frozen eggs can bring hope to future pregnancy, but it cannot guarantee success.
If you use frozen eggs to give birth, the risk of miscarriage mainly depends on the age of your frozen eggs. Older women have a higher rate of miscarriage, mainly because their eggs are older.
Studies so far have not shown that freezing eggs increases the risk of birth defects in babies. However, the safety of frozen eggs needs further study.
When you want to use frozen eggs, they will be thawed, then fertilized with sperm in the laboratory and implanted in the uterus. The chance of pregnancy after
implantation is about 30% to 60%, depending on the age of the egg when it was frozen.
The older you are at the time of egg freezing, the lower your chances of a live birth in the future.
