description AIM: The interest in oocyte cryopreservation (OC) for nonmedically indicated reasons is increasing. Knowing women’s beliefs and knowledge from various geographic regions could help providers to understand the similarities and differences that could facilitate proper counseling. MATERIALS & METHODS: Articles about social egg freezing published over the past 18 years were extracted from the literature. RESULTS: We demonstrated that there are common rationales toward OC among women in the USA and other countries. The ultimate goal was to prolong fertility. The most commonly reported reasons were aging, lack of partner, career and financial status. CONCLUSION: The beliefs and rationales toward elective OC among women in the USA and other countries are consistent.
