It may be "generally accepted" by someone (citation, please) that women after 30 need to freeze their eggs, but this is the first I've heard of it. My mom taught OB Nursing for several years, and she has several friends who are still practicing. From what my OB tells me, 35-40 is the more "generally accepted" age range. I think she's had more than 15 credits of biology, too.

As for me, I'm having my first child at the age of (gasp) 39, and I can tell you the eggs were fresh, and not frozen.
