Secondary infertility and egg freezing

Secondary infertility is defined as the inability to get pregnant or have a healthy baby after previously getting pregnant and giving birth, even if they did so the first time without any issues. For many women, secondary infertility can come as a huge surprise. But as women age, our fertility declines, and new issues affecting fertility can crop up in us and in our partners—and those factors can make all the difference between an easy conception and infertility.
