Egg freezing is a way to preserve your fertility by collecting and storing your eggs for future use. Choosing to freeze your eggs can be an incredibly empowering step, giving you more control over your future fertility.
The process is similar to the first part of IVF. Your ovaries are gently stimulated to produce multiple eggs, which are then collected in a short procedure and frozen using an advanced technique called vitrification. Once frozen, your eggs are safely stored in our laboratory. When you\u2019re ready, they can be thawed, fertilised with sperm and transferred to the uterus as embryos as part of an IVF cycle. Egg freezing doesn\u2019t guarantee a future pregnancy, but it can give you more flexibility and preserve the quality of your eggs at the age they were frozen.
Egg freezing can be a good option for many people, depending on their individual circumstances. You may consider egg freezing:
Step 1
Medications stimulate your ovaries to produce multiple eggs. Blood tests and ultrasound scans monitor follicle development and help determine when the eggs are ready for collection.
Step 2
Once the eggs are mature, a short procedure under sedation collects them from the ovaries using ultrasound guidance. Most patients can go home the same day.
Step 3
The collected eggs are frozen using an advanced technique called vitrification, helping to preserve their quality at the age they were frozen.
Step 4
Your eggs are safely stored in our laboratory until you're ready to use them. They can then be thawed, fertilised with sperm and transferred to the uterus as embryos as part of an IVF cycle.
