I would not advise you to attempt to freeze your eggs. At your age the chance of having a live birth is extremely low. As women age, the number and quality of their eggs reduces making it more difficult to have a baby. Although you may be still producing eggs it is likely that the number will be too low to make freezing a feasible option.
