Women freezing eggs
to wait for 'Mr Right'
Technique Gives Future Relationships Time To Bloom
London: An increasing number of women in their 30s and 40s are freezing their eggs while they continue their search for their "Mr Right", say British doctors.
        "They come in their 30s or late 30s if they haven't found the right partner," Daily Mail quoted Srilatha Gorthi, a senior research fellow at Leeds Centre for Reproductive Medicine, as saying. The technique is now as popular with healthy women as with cancer patients and those women at risk of premature menopause.
        Simon Fishel, managing director of the 11-clinic chain, said: "Women are coming in their late 30s because they are starting to feel that nothing is happening. They have fallen out of a relationship, they haven't got a man." The trend was brought to light by a study of women who had applied to have their eggs frozen at a Belgian clinic between July 2009-May 2010.
       Highly-educated and financially secured, these women were in their late 30s and early 40s, and had considered adoption or single motherhood before plumping to spend hundreds of pounds on IVF and egg vitrification or freezing.
       They told their doctors that they wanted to "take the pressure of the search for the right partner" and "give a future relationship more time" before bringing up the subject of kids.
       "By vitrifying their oocytes (eggs) they wanted to buy time to find the right partner and do everything they could to prevent age-related infertility. Moreover, frozen oocytes were considered as very precious goods, since even if they would meet Mr Right in the near futurem they would only use the frozen oocytes in the last instance, after trying to conceive naturally," said Julie Nekkebroeck, from the Centre for Reproductive Medicine at the Free University of Brussels, who headed the study.
        However, others warn that egg freezing does not guarnatee motherhood and pointed out that by the time a woman reaches her late 30s. the quality of her eggs deteriorate.
