Social Freezing
Social freezing allows women to extend their fertile phase by having their eggs preserved. If possible, eggs are removed before the age of 35, frozen and stored. If necessary, these can be thawed years later and fertilized with the sperm of the intended father. In this way, women who are actually fertile make use of reproductive medical procedures in order to postpone their pregnancy.
