I think the GP mentioned that because this subthread discussed a "permanent" solution for men. Storing sperm might be a workaround for future "wouldn't it be nice.." regrets. An insurance. I'm not aware of mainstream (or any, really) permanent solutions for women, at least not to replace contraceptives (medical reasons - like cancer - for an invasive surgery don't count). So, if women usually don't decide to become sterile (?), the process to collect and store eggs seems less relevant.

I'm not sure what you're saying here. Women can have their eggs frozen and undergo tubal ligation. That's pretty analogous to vasectomy and frozen sperm, albeit quite a bit more invasive.

  Biology question: does having a tubal ligation affect a subsequent IVF pregnancy at all? Are there records of such a case happening?

    Looks like you can do it, but it also looks like they normally try to reverse the tubal ligation first.
