Delaying Motherhood with Egg Freezing (Cryopreservation)

These days, more and more women are waiting until their 30s and 40s to start a family.

With fast paced careers, and no time to find a partner, putting off motherhood makes sense...but biologically, it's a huge risk.

For women who have always dreamed of becoming a mother (but haven't had the time to do so), there's a new option that's becoming quite popular;
egg freezing, also known as cryopreservation.

Although it isn't a guarantee, egg freezing allows women to freeze their younger eggs in time, and when they're ready to use them, the eggs are thawed out and conceived with in-vitro fertilization (IVF).

While some people may find this process to be expensive, many women agree that you simply can't put a price on motherhood.
