Egg Freezing Calculator
Egg Freezing Outcome Estimator
If you’re considering egg freezing, you may wonder how many eggs you need to freeze, the success rates at different ages, and how this information aligns with your future plans.
We’ve created the EVOLVE egg freezing calculator to assist you. This tool aims to give you an idea of what to expect when freezing eggs and estimate the optimal number to freeze.
To use the calculator, simply input the age at which you plan to freeze your eggs and the desired number of eggs for freezing. Our tool will then estimate the likelihood of achieving a live birth and giving birth to one, two, or three children. You can adjust the age or number of eggs to tailor the probability to your specific needs.

Data Source: This frozen egg probability calculator uses information from a study by Doyle et al. published in Fertility and Sterility (2015).
We designed this calculator to assist patients in understanding the likelihood of having a baby from frozen eggs. It’s especially helpful for women deciding whether egg freezing is suitable for them. Adjusting your input numbers lets you assess the potential benefits and limitations of freezing your eggs. Your physician can provide an estimate of the number of mature (usable) eggs you might expect after your initial fertility consultation, typically ranging from 50-100% of your antral follicle count.
Note that egg freezing is a complex procedure, and each fertility lab may have its unique methods even with the same protocol. It’s advisable to talk to your IVF center about specific details like the survival rate of warmed eggs, fertilization rate for fresh and frozen eggs, progression rate from fertilized eggs to blastocyst stage embryos, probability of chromosomally normal embryos, and live birth rate per chromosomally normal embryo. Combining this information helps estimate your chances of having a baby with IVF.
We will keep updating the calculator as new information becomes available, ensuring you have the latest evidence for making informed decisions.
EVOLVE works with patients between 25-39 years of age.If you are over 39, please book with a Care Navigator at our sister clinic, TRIO Fertility.
Understanding Egg Freezing Success Rates
Our calculator utilizes data from peer-reviewed studies (Doyle et al.) that allows us to approximate the probability of each frozen egg resulting in a successful pregnancy. Research provides valuable insights, particularly for individuals aged 25-38, while data beyond this age remains limited.
It’s important to remember that your journey to preserving your fertility is unique and involves various factors. Your EVOLVE physician will provide a personalized treatment plan and specific advice based on your situation.
Factors That Influence Egg Freezing Outcomes
Age
One of the most significant factors that can affect egg freezing outcomes is age. Ovarian reserve refers to how many eggs are remaining in your ovaries. You are born with a certain amount of eggs, and this supply decreases over time. This means you will naturally have a lower chance of getting pregnant as you age. Egg quality also typically decreases with age, which makes it more difficult to retrieve a high-quality egg that will result in pregnancy.
Genetics
Genetics can play a significant role in your ovarian reserve and overall fertility. For example, if women in your family experienced early menopause or had difficulty conceiving, you may have a similar predisposition. Genetic factors can influence not only the quantity of your eggs but also their quality. If you suspect genetic factors may be a concern, discussing your family history with your physician can help guide your egg-freezing plan.
Medical Conditions
Certain medical conditions can impact egg quantity, quality, and conception ability. Medical conditions such as endometriosis, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), autoimmune diseases like lupus or thyroid disorders, and cancer treatments can all have a significant impact on egg retrieval success rates. Although these conditions might complicate egg freezing, that doesn’t mean you won’t find success. Egg freezing and IVF have helped patients with all types of medical conditions at varying degrees of severity to conceive. At EVOLVE, we are here to develop a plan based on your unique circumstances.
Lifestyle
It is not talked about as often, but certain lifestyle factors can negatively impact your fertility. Some of the lifestyle factors that are likely to have the most significant effect on your fertility include smoking, alcohol use, weight, stress, poor sleep, and diet. When preparing to freeze your eggs, it is a good idea to get plenty of rest, eat a balanced diet, get some light exercise, and refrain from smoking and/or drinking.
