Career, travel, finding the right partner, or simply not feeling ready yet - there are many reasons why women today are choosing to delay motherhood. Thanks to modern medicine, biology doesn’t have to dictate your life plans. One of the most effective ways to protect your future fertility is social freezing - and Unica is here to guide you through the process.
Also known as fertility preservation, social freezing is the preventive freezing of your healthy eggs for use later in life. It gives you the freedom to delay pregnancy without reducing your chances of conceiving in the future.
Women most often choose social freezing when:
While there’s no strict age limit for social freezing, experts recommend doing it ideally between ages 25 and 35, when egg quality is at its peak. The earlier it’s done, the better the chances of a healthy pregnancy later on. As egg quality and quantity naturally decline with age, freezing eggs at a younger stage helps preserve your fertility potential and keeps more options open for the future.
The procedure is similar to IVF:
Research shows that up to 95% of frozen eggs can be successfully thawed, and around 20 frozen eggs are considered optimal for a good chance of success.
⚠️ Important to know: Social freezing greatly improves your chances, but it doesn’t guarantee pregnancy. Factors like timing, age, and overall health still play important roles.
Time is a critical factor in fertility. Egg quantity and quality begin to decline after age 30 and drop significantly after 35. By choosing to freeze your eggs earlier, you preserve the potential for a future pregnancy using your own younger, healthier cells - even years down the road.
