EGG DONATION Donor-egg IVF offers a woman an
opportunity to experience pregnancy, birth, and
motherhood. For a woman over 40, when using donor
eggs, chances of a successful pregnancy are much
higher.
CRYOPRESERVATION Women who wish to delay
childbearing until their late 30s or early 40s
may consider methods of fertility preservation
such as freezing of embryos after IVF or
retrieving and freezing eggs for later use.
Embryo freezing has been well established and
still growing, so it is one of the best options
for women.

The perfect time to get pregnant is when it feels
right to the couple. Its not unreasonable to
wait until they feel more confident in their
career(s) and finances to start building the
family. If they choose to wait, they should check
in with their doctor or a fertility specialist to
make sure that no health issues will stand in
their way when they feel they are ready.
