- Mz 11y agoMy understanding: Yes, older men do see some increase in things like that. But it is a much bigger problem in women, for a long list of reasons. For example, women are born with all the eggs they will ever have. Sperm is produced "fresh." Also, the woman is the incubator.
- MollyR 11y agoI've often thought about freezing some eggs, but I heard egg damage can still occur, not to mention physical issues like a freezer failing or costs. Also not much research exists on the possible hidden later stage development errors, that babies born from frozen eggs could have.
