Age at freezing is the dominant variable. Eggs frozen before 35 have substantially better outcomes per egg than those frozen later, which is why clinics counsel on expected egg numbers rather than promising results.
Annual storage fees are modest in Korea, in the range of 300,000 to 600,000 KRW per year, and cross-border transfer of frozen eggs is possible but logistically complex. Ask about the clinic's experience shipping to your country before you commit.

Frequently asked questions
What age should I freeze my eggs?
Outcomes per egg are markedly better before 35 and decline steadily after. Clinics typically counsel that 10 to 20 mature eggs frozen before 35 gives a reasonable chance of one live birth.
Can I move my frozen eggs to another country later?
It is possible through specialist cryogenic couriers, but it requires regulatory clearance on both sides. Ask the clinic how many international shipments they have completed and to which countries.
