NYC woman who stored her eggs for 15 years at clinic says they’re now lost
New York Post ^ | May 20, 2023 | Kathianne Boniello

A Manhattan woman waited 15 years to become a mom with the eggs she froze at a fertility clinic — only to learn they’d been lost by the time she was ready to use them at the age of 57, according to a lawsuit.

Paula Cervoni was 42 and single in 2006, when she decided to preserve 11 of her eggs at Advanced Fertility Services on the Upper East Side, paying more than $21,000 for the procedure, she said in a Manhattan Supreme Court filing.

Cervoni then shelled out $600 each year for the next decade to store the eggs, until 2016, when the clinic changed hands and she signed an agreement with the new company to keep her oocytes, or immature eggs, safe, she said in legal papers. By 2021, she “was ready to use her oocytes and either become pregnant using them and her partner’s sperm or to contract with a surrogate to carry their child,” Cervoni claimed in the litigation.

What about the rent she paid for something they weren’t storing?

Shouldn’t have put all her eggs in one company.

I’m sure she’s very upset. Rightfully so. But, I agree - to have a baby at 60. Yikes.

It’s totally unnatural. Too bad it didn’t work but don’t blame the storage facility.

I’m that age and my children are in their 30s. No way would I be the least bit interested in raising children at this point in my life.

42 year old eggs probably weren’t viable in the 1st place

Why not? She paid them the money and they promised to keep them. Now, I'm not saying she isn't a bit nuts wanting a baby that late in life but the company was responsible, either the new one or the old one or both.

“57 years old and she decides to finally use her eggs?
People are crazy.”


People treat children as if they are on a “wish list” that is something you decide to acquire when you have finished everything else you wish to do in life. Much like saying “When I reach the age 50, I’m going to buy a Corvette”. That’s not how God sees children.

Lady, you missed the chance to have, nurture, and love children. Yes, it’s a loss for you, but I suspect you have no idea exactly what you lost. It’s not as you missed out on that perfect handbag you had placed on layaway. Children are not an accessory.
