In 2021, the revision of bioethics laws opened the door to elective egg freezing. This gives women, between their 29th and 37th birthdays, the opportunity to freeze their eggs in order to combat age decline fertility. However, communication about this new possibility has remained limited both toward women and their health professional.
Thus, the hypothesize of this study is that these professionals, namely physicians, gynecologists and midwives, are insufficiently aware of age-related fertility decline and unaware of the possibility of elective egg freezing.
This multicenter observational cross-sectional study whose objective will be:
This study will provide valuable knowledge on the perception of elective egg freezing by health professionals, determine their training needs and motivate new information campaigns on this subject.
2,506 studies on the registry are indexed under Infertility; 407 are open to participants now.
