No women who underwent elective egg freezing at the age of 40 or over, had a live birth, in a cohort of 373 women from a single fertility clinic in London.
Out of the total cohort 36 women who had undergone elective egg freezing opted to pursue IVF with their eggs and of those women, 11 had 12 pregnancies, a paper published in Gynecologic Endocrinology and Reproductive Medicine showed.
Author Jara Ben Nagi said: 'Although this data is from a single IVF centre with experience in egg freezing, women must be counselled about the poor outcomes when they embark on egg freezing above the age of 40.'
