To further understanding of how women who pursue OC for deferred reproduction think and act relative to reproduction and dating. 2016 anonymous 39-question survey with comparison to our prior OC patient survey completed in 2012. From 2005-15, 1817 women underwent >1 OC treatment cycle at our facility; 866 (48%) agreed to post-treatment contact, and our survey was distributed to these patients. There were 224 survey responses (rate: 26%). From 2012 to 2016, the percentage of women that froze at 33-35y increased (13 to 24%) while those 39-41y decreased (39 to 23%); 44% froze between 36-38y consistent with our clinical data also demonstrating a decrease in age at time of OC. 53% underwent OC in the last 2 years. As in 2012, 80% of respondents were Caucasian, and >70% were never married, reported lack of partner as the no. 1 reason for not yet having children and wished they had undergone OC earlier. The majority now feel the ideal age for egg freezing is 29-34y, with only 16% choosing >35y and <1% choosing >38y. Of note, more (25 vs. 16%) were in a relationship at time of OC with ½ stating the relationship was <1y. 77% reported difficulty finding someone with whom to co-parent at the time of OC. >80% currently report a desire to have children while <20% remain unsure as to whether they definitely want children in the future. Cost was the greatest obstacle to pursuing OC. 1/3 received financial support, mostly from family, with parents being the most common source. After OC, 30% admitted an attitude change toward parenting, mostly in a positive way (i.e. made it a priority or increased openness to alternative family-creating options). >60% also felt lessening of biological-clock pressure when dating and were more open to using donor sperm if still lacking a suitable partner by age 43 (average; range 35-50y). 1/4 said OC changed their dating habits: feeling more relaxed, focused, less desperate and with more time to find the right partner. >60% admitted discussing OC while dating and 90% with family/friends. They were most often met with positive/ supportive reception. 96% would recommend OC to another. After undergoing OC, 22% got pregnant or had children without resorting to their frozen eggs (2/3 naturally; 1/3 ART; 4% adoption). 13% of respondents thawed eggs resulting in a 32% live birth rate. Of those not yet thawing, 1/2 cited lacking a suitable co-parent as the obstacle; 90% reported future intent to thaw. Women are pursuing OC at younger ages, with the primary indication being lack of a suitable co-parenting partner; the latter was also the most common reason cited for not returning to use eggs sooner. Cost was prohibitive for many, with some relying on family finances. Most reported OC as a positive experience, improving views of parenting, inciting healthier dating practices, enhancing hope for future family and expanding acceptable options for achieving that goal.
