How It Works
Egg freezing (oocyte cryopreservation) preserves fertility by storing unfertilized eggs for future use. Costs include the initial retrieval plus ongoing storage.
The Formula
Total = (Retrieval + Meds + Freezing) × Cycles + (Annual Storage × Years) + Thaw/Transfer
Variables
- Retrieval — Clinic fee for hormone stimulation and egg retrieval procedure
- Storage — Annual cryogenic storage fee
Worked Example
One cycle: $7,000 retrieval + $5,000 meds + $1,500 freezing = $13,500. Plus 5 years storage ($3,000) + future thaw ($5,000) = $21,500 total.
Practical Tips
- Freezing eggs before age 35 yields more viable eggs per cycle.
- Most women need 15-20 frozen eggs for a reasonable chance of one live birth.
- Some employers now cover egg freezing as a benefit — check with HR.
- Storage fees are ongoing — factor this into long-term planning.
- Egg survival after thaw is about 90% with modern vitrification techniques.
