Egg Freezing Age & Success Calculator

Ideally before age 35, with the best outcomes under 30. Egg quality and quantity decline with age, especially after 35. At 30, you might need 15 eggs for a good chance of one live birth; at 40, you may need 30+. However, egg freezing at any reproductive age can be beneficial.

For a reasonable chance (60-70%+) of at least one live birth: age under 35: ~15-20 eggs, age 35-37: ~20-25 eggs, age 38-40: ~25-30 eggs, over 40: ~30+ eggs. Most women retrieve 10-20 eggs per cycle, so some may need 2+ cycles.

In the US, one egg freezing cycle typically costs $6,000-$15,000 for the retrieval procedure, plus $3,000-$6,000 for medications, and annual storage fees of $500-$1,000. Many women need 2+ cycles. Some employers and insurance plans now cover egg freezing as a benefit.
