I’m still in my 20s. Should I consider egg freezing?

Ovarian reserve decreases over a lifetime for everyone but it also decreases at a different pace for each individual. That means that some women will reach their peak fertility earlier than others which also means their general fertility will end earlier than average. Risk factors for early ovarian reserve problems include women with family histories of age-related fertility struggles and medical conditions (endometriosis, history of ovarian cysts, past ovary or reproductive surgery, cancer or other illnesses requiring chemotherapy or radiation therapy). Most women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), however, have no identifiable risk factors. Some women discover markers of early ovarian reserve issues through direct to consumer/at-home tests.
