Egg freezing is a way to preserve your fertility by collecting and storing your eggs for future use. 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’re ready, they can be thawed, fertilised with sperm and transferred to the uterus as embryos as part of an IVF cycle. Egg freezing doesn’t 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:
• For medical reasons, such as before chemotherapy, surgery, or treatment that may affect fertility
• If you have a lower egg reserve or conditions like endometriosis
• If you are not ready to start a family yet, but would like to keep your options open for the future
For many, it offers peace of mind and a sense of control over future family planning.
Your chances of having a baby using frozen eggs depend on several factors, and everyone’s situation is different. The most important include:
• Your age at the time of freezing - Egg quality naturally declines over time, so freezing eggs at a younger age can improve future outcomes
• The number of eggs stored - Not every egg will survive thawing or lead to a viable embryo, so having more eggs can increase your chances
• Your overall health and fertility factors - Egg freezing is best seen as a way to increase your options, not a guarantee, and we will always provide honest, personalised advice to help you understand your individual chances.
