Egg freezing - is it for you?
Sounds like an option for many women:
Egg freezing — the scientific term is oocyte cryopreservation — isn't an entirely new concept, having several years ago become a way for women to try to preserve their fertility after chemotherapy. Back then, however, the procedure's success rates were low... That changed in 2005 when scientists in Italy... found a new method of freezing and thawing the eggs that kept them more intact... In addition to being experimental, the procedure is expensive. Christy Jones... cites the cost at about $13,000 per cycle, but she insists the peace of mind is worth it. "When you also compare it to the other costs of having a child down the road, whether that be going to fertility treatments or the cost of adopting, which can run to $20- or $30,000 … I think it's definitely an investment that's worthwhile," said Jones.
