The use of frozen eggs to delay conception is not recommended because they are not as effective at fertilization as egg freezing and sperm freezing methods.
1. Quote ASRM guidelines on egg freezing
" Egg cryopreservation allows women the opportunity to have biological children later in life. Egg cryopreservation appears to be an attractive strategy for this purpose. However, no data are available. There are no data on the efficacy of egg cryopreservation in this population and indication.Data on safety, efficacy, cost of treatment, and emotional risks of cryopreserved egg selection are inadequate. Marketing this technology for the purpose of delaying childbirth may give women false hope and encourage them to delay having children."
Even if you store a lot of eggs, you are not sure how many will survive when you defrost, how many will fertilize and how many will develop into embryos. The delay comes when you are past reproductive age but frozen eggs are not viable, then you have to ask for eggs. If you are younger, you will have more options.
As with sperm storage, egg freezing will cost a lot including medication, monitoring, egg retrieval and annual egg storage. When you are ready to use the eggs, you will have to pay the cost of thawing, fertilization, embryo transfer, and the cost of certain other medications.
If you are married or you are planning to father your child, you should store embryos, not eggs. The storage of eggs when you want to be a single mother or have not yet determined who will be the father of your child. Embryo storage (fertilized eggs) has a higher success rate than egg storage.
If you are over 37 years old don't think about storing eggs unless you have no other option. Your egg has begun to decrease its ability to fertilize. Egg storage is more successful in women under 30 years of age.
