You got a million in your ovary when you're born.
You got 300,000 at puberty.
Every month, your body selects 500 at random.
One gets chosen to be ovulated.
You waste 499.
So, you burn through thousands and thousands of eggs every year.
And by the time you're 42, you're pretty much down on eggs.
And the ones that are there are less likely to get you pregnant.
So...
One of the strategies we took was let's get those younger eggs in the freezer.
You start your family when you're 30 and have your babies later when you're older because that's what's happening.
Yeah, but you're starting your family because you're taking your 30-year-old eggs and you can be like my 54-year-old patient who froze her eggs in 2010 as a 15-month-old baby because she did that.
She wouldn't have that baby.
I have a 51-year-old who's –
She's 24 weeks pregnant.
She froze her eggs in 2012.
She has a 15-month-old baby.
And she's now pregnant again because that's how long it took her to finally get around to having her baby.
Those are outliers.
But a lot of my patients are in the 40s having babies.
