Although the article clarifies that pregnancy is not recommended from a certain age, the idea transmitted is that this technique is almost a panacea for women who want to postpone their fertility.

Certainly the vitrification of oocytes is a technique that gives excellent results but has not eliminated the possibility that a woman can have reproductive dysfunction and not ensures a future pregnancy.

As the Working Group on Preservation of Fertility of the Spanish Fertility Society says: "
"According to current knowledge, the survival rate of cryopreserved oocytes is estimated at 90% and pregnancy rate after transfer of embryos generated from them 30-40%. However, the results can vary depending on the technique and the particular characteristics of each case. "
