That is a really good question! Not sure if there's sufficient data. But what I'm certain of is that egg freezing can be so much cheaper.

For example, even today, it costs Facebook about 20k per employee per freezing cycle to offer this benefit, where's if you go direct, it can be 5k.

And this is without scale.
