As women age, not only do they have fewer eggs, but the quality of those eggs also declines. “Quality” refers to the genetic makeup that determines whether an egg can lead to a successful pregnancy. This decline in egg quality starts becoming noticeable around age 37 and accelerates as women reach their 40s, although it can affect some women at a younger age.

With this in mind, preserving your fertility by freezing eggs at a younger age can be a wise choice. However, it also means you might incur the costs of procedures, medications, and extended storage without ultimately needing the eggs, as younger individuals have a higher likelihood of conceiving naturally.
