Assuming you don't plan to use your frozen eggs right after retrieval, you'll have to pay an egg storage fee, which annually runs at least $600 (via US News & World Report).
What's more, consider that unless you are freezing your eggs for medical reasons, insurance may not cover the costs. And egg freezing costs do not include fertilization, more hormone injections, and medicines needed for an embryo transfer cycle, or the transfer itself, not to mention the cost associated with early pregnancy monitoring, or pregnancy in general. Business Insider reports this can cost an additional $18,000.
Despite the incredibly high cost of egg freezing, this is becoming an increasingly popular option for women who are delaying pregnancy for a variety of reasons (career, waiting for the right partner). And many women have success with egg freezing. Although results are far from guaranteed, the likelihood of becoming pregnant from implantation are 30 to 60 percent, depending on the age at the time the egg freezing was performed. That's right — even though you'll age, your eggs do not.
