A British study found that 26% of IVF attempts with frozen eggs result in a live birth, comparable to overall IVF success rates. A/Prof Alex Polyakov, Medical Director at Genea Melbourne, explains that the age at which eggs are harvested is crucial for success, with eggs frozen before age 35 yielding higher live birth rates. He advises freezing eggs between ages 30-34 for optimal outcomes, noting that freezing eggs is now comparable to undergoing IVF immediately.
