Social egg freezing has become increasingly important in recent years. Precautionary freezing of unfertilized eggs during a period of high fertility offers women a real chance at genetically related motherhood at a later date.The reasons for this are manifold: Life plans have become more complex, and career, partnership, and family planning rarely follow a linear path. Many women want to establish themselves professionally first or find themselves in a period of transition when their biological clock is already ticking. Since fertility declines significantly from the mid-30s onward, many find this pressure burdensome. Social egg freezing creates new freedom and makes it possible to better combine health, career, and family planning.
With increasing age, not only does the egg reserve decrease, but so does genetic quality. Therefore, freezing is optimal between the ages of 25 and 35, when fertility is still high. However, the right time depends not only on the numbers but also on the personal feeling of wanting to actively engage with the topic. This includes sound medical advice, open discussions, and an honest reflection on your own life goals.
Social egg freezing is not a guarantee of a future pregnancy, but rather an option to increase your chances of having a child – comparable to insurance that provides security for the future. The right moment is when you realize that life planning isn't always predictable and that taking precautions can be an expression of self-determination.The decision requires information about the opportunities, risks, costs, and emotional aspects. Not every frozen egg will be used later or result in a pregnancy. This makes professional, compassionate guidance all the more important.
