About egg freezing
Every woman’s chance of conceiving naturally falls as they get older – this is due to the decrease in number of eggs available and more importantly the quality of these eggs declining. Egg freezing gives you an opportunity to preserve your fertility for the future by freezing the eggs when the woman is younger and the eggs are of the highest quality.
During an egg freezing cycle, your ovaries are stimulated with gonadotrophins (medication) to increase the number of eggs that are released during each cycle. Guidance recommends that people should aim to freeze at least 20 mature eggs to give themselves the best chance of a live birth in the future.
Egg Freezing is used by women who may wish to delay starting a family, as it can protect against the natural reduction of their egg reserve and egg quality over time. It may also be suitable in certain medical situations, for example for those who have a family history of premature ovarian failure, or are soon to receive treatment for cancer.
The process:
- Initial Consultation
- Pre-treatment screening – to confirm that the treatment is a possible option for you including screening for infectious diseases (note that the cost of consultations and pre-screening tests are not included in our EggFreeze PLUS plan)
- Stimulation – to increase the number of eggs that your ovaries release during the treatment cycle
- Monitoring – to check how you are responding to the stimulation
- Collection – a minor procedure under sedation which takes around 20 – 30 minutes
- Freezing and storage – your mature eggs are rapidly frozen and stored at -196°C.
Your eggs can be stored for up to 55 years subject to proper consent.
