What this means
In 2021, the revision of bioethics laws opened the door to elective egg freezing. This gives women, between their 29th and 37th birthdays, the opportunity to freeze their eggs in order to combat age decline fertility.
A plain-English summary is on its way. Until then, this is the start of the registry's own summary.

Registry summary
In 2021, the revision of bioethics laws opened the door to elective egg freezing. This gives women, between their 29th and 37th birthdays, the opportunity to freeze their eggs in order to combat age decline fertility. However, communication about this new possibility has remained limited both toward women and their health professional.
