Background
infertility, birth abnormalities
SECONDARY, ANEUPLOIDIES
The average maternal age at first birth has increased in many high-income countries [Egg freezing may provide women with more time to achieve their reproductive goals and reduce the risk of aneuploidies and birth abnormalities associated with older eggs [There is a small yet growing body of evidence highlighting the need for better egg freezing decision support. A South Korean study of women who attended egg freezing counselling at a fertility clinic reported high decisional conflict (a measure of decision uncertainty) in almost half (Decision Aids are used for complex health decisions [The primary aim of this study was to develop a Decision Aid for elective egg freezing, and in preparation for a randomised control trial, conduct a phase 1 study to assess its acceptability for decision-making. The study’s secondary aim was to evaluate the utility of the Decision Aid in reducing decisional conflict and improving knowledge of egg freezing and age-related infertility.
