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.
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.
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. But no one at Manhattan Fertility Services, which took over Advanced Fertility Services’ storage business, could confirm whether Cervoni’s eggs were there, and instead pointed her in the direction of other companies they claimed were in charge of the genetic materials, she said in the legal filing.
The apparent loss of her oocytes is “devastating,” she said, adding “I am tormented by the fact that my oocytes were destroyed without my knowledge or my written consent which was required, sold to someone else, or sitting in storage somewhere unlabeled and unaccounted for.
