Personalized Egg Banking Plan
Age influences egg quality, survival, and euploid rates. Calculate how many eggs you may need to bank to support future family-building goals.

Use clinic estimates or AMH/antral follicle count guidance.

- Fertilized embryos: 14
- Blastocysts: 6
- Euploid embryos: 3
Projected family-building capacity
- Pregnancies supported: 3

How to Use This Calculator
Confirm ovarian reserve metrics
Use AMH, antral follicle count, and prior response history to estimate mature eggs per cycle.
Discuss stimulation plan
Decide with your reproductive endocrinologist on protocol intensity, cycle spacing, and trigger strategy.
Refine cost and logistics
Account for retrieval fees, medications, storage, and thaw/transfer costs in long-term planning.
Formula
Eggs required = Eggs per live birth (age-specific) × Desired children
Cycles required = Eggs required ÷ Eggs per cycle (rounded up)
Survival → fertilization → blastocyst = Total eggs × survival × fertilization × blastocyst rates
Euploid embryos = Blastocysts × Euploid probability (age-based)
Cost estimation = Retrieval cost ($6,000) × cycles + storage ($1,000) × cycles (customize to clinic)
Full Description
Egg freezing outcomes vary by age, ovarian reserve, stimulation protocol, and lab conditions. Younger eggs have higher survival and euploid rates, reducing cycles needed per live birth. This tool uses aggregated data from clinic cohorts and published studies to model egg-to-live-birth conversions. Use it for planning discussions—not as a guarantee. Partner sperm availability, fertilization method (ICSI vs IVF), genetic testing, and thaw protocol affect real-world outcomes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do eggs expire in storage?
No. Properly cryopreserved mature eggs remain viable for many years. Annual storage fees apply.
Can I fertilize eggs immediately?
Yes, if partner or donor sperm is available. Fertilizing creates embryos, which may offer higher survival but reduces future flexibility.
How does PGT-A change the plan?
Genetic testing increases certainty about euploid embryos but adds cost. Expect ~10% loss during biopsy. Adjust goals accordingly.
What if AMH is low?
Consider more cycles with minimal stimulation, or combine egg and embryo banking. Discuss dual stimulation (duo-stim) protocols with your provider.
