Interesting Egg Freezing Video Posted

Two bits of information I wanted to post.

1) Only 12% of your eggs remain at age 30 and 3% of your eggs remain at age 40. Yikes. (Heard that stat on ABC World News last night).

2) Interesting video posted here showing the vitrification process:

The facts stated in the video seem 'off' though. I thought that egg freezing was founded in Italy; the narrator of this video claim it was Japan. They also claim that only 6% of eggs that were slowly frozen survived freezing whereas over 90% of eggs survive a thaw after vitrification. Those percentages sound way off. I like the video though for showing the process rather than what they are saying because in reality, all these videos are simply advertisements for the center itself.
