Frozen eggs storage 10-year limit 'should be changed'

Frozen eggs storage 10-year limit 'should be changed' There is no scientific reason for the 10-year limit on storage of frozen eggs, which is forcing some women to destroy them before they are ready to become parents, say fertility experts.

Under UK law, only eggs stored for medical reasons and premature infertility can be kept for longer.

The regulator says any change would be a matter for parliament.

But it admitted the time "might be right to look at a more appropriate storage limit".

Freezing eggs - for medical and social reasons - is growing in popularity, but the numbers are still small. BBC News
