Is Egg Freezing Right for You?
There is no single reason to freeze your eggs, and there need not be. Many women choose egg freezing simply because the timing is not right, a partner is not yet in the picture, or because their career and personal goals come first. All of these are valid, and each is enough.
Egg freezing puts your fertility on your terms, giving you the freedom to make one of life's biggest decisions when you are ready, not when circumstances force your hand.
You may want to consider egg freezing if you:
- Want to preserve your fertility while you focus on your career or personal goals
- Are not in a relationship yet, but know you want children in the future
- Have been diagnosed with a medical condition that may affect your fertility
- Simply want the reassurance of knowing your options are open
Whatever your reason, our team is here to listen without judgment and help you understand whether egg freezing is the right step for you.
Who Should Consider Freezing Their Eggs?
Egg freezing is suitable for a wide range of women at different stages of life. You may be a good candidate if you are:
- Wanting to preserve your fertility before age begins to affect egg quality
- Not yet in the right relationship, or simply not ready to start a family
- Facing medical treatment such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or surgery that could impact your fertility
- Living with a family history of early menopause or premature ovarian insufficiency (POI)
- Diagnosed with a condition such as endometriosis or PCOS that may affect your fertility over time
- A single woman or in a same-sex relationship, and planning for the future on your own terms
If any of these resonate with you, egg freezing could be a meaningful step towards protecting your future family. Our consultants are here to help you understand your options and decide whether it is the right choice for you.
What Is the Best Age to Freeze Your Eggs?
When it comes to egg freezing, age matters. Egg quality and quantity naturally decline over time, which is why freezing earlier generally leads to better outcomes. We recommend freezing your eggs before the age of 35 to maximise your chances of success in the future.
That said, everyone is different, and if you are in your mid-to-late thirties, egg freezing can still be a worthwhile option. The most important thing is an honest, personalised assessment of where you are right now, which is exactly what our consultants are here to provide.
One thing worth knowing: it is the age of your eggs at the time of freezing, not the age at which you use them, that has the greatest influence on success. Freezing protects the quality of your eggs as they are today.

How Egg Freezing Works – Your Step-by-Step Journey
Initial Consultation & Assessment
The journey begins with a consultation with a fertility specialist. During this session, your medical history, hormone levels, and ovarian reserve are assessed through blood tests and ultrasound scans to provide us with a better understanding of your current ovarian reserve and fertility status.
Ovarian Stimulation
To increase the number of eggs available for freezing, you’ll undergo a course of hormonal injections to stimulate your ovaries. This typically lasts around 10–14 days and is monitored closely with regular scans and blood tests to track your response with your fertility team beside you.
Egg Collection Procedure
Once your eggs are ready, they are retrieved in a minor outpatient procedure called egg collection. This is performed under sedation and involves using a fine needle guided by ultrasound to collect the eggs from your ovaries. The process usually takes around 20–30 minutes.
Freezing the Eggs
After collection, your eggs are carefully evaluated in the laboratory. Mature, high-quality eggs are frozen using a process called vitrification. This rapid freezing technique ensures minimal ice crystal formation, preserving the integrity of the eggs for future use.
Egg Storage
Your frozen eggs are stored in a secure and temperature-controlled environment, ready to be used when you decide to pursue pregnancy. Healthy eggs can remain frozen for many years without compromising their quality. Eggs remain safely preserved, offering peace of mind.
Follow-Up & Next Steps
The process is designed to be as comfortable & supportive as possible, with fertility specialists & clinic staff guiding you every step of the way. If you have further questions or decide to use your frozen eggs, we're here to discuss the best options for your future family plans.

Egg Freezing Success Rates
Understanding success rates is an important part of making an informed decision about egg freezing, and we believe in being open and honest about what the process can and cannot offer.
Several factors influence the likelihood of a successful outcome, including your age at the time of freezing, the number of mature eggs collected, the quality of those eggs, and how well they survive the thawing process. Egg quality is generally at its strongest in your 20s and early 30s, which is why freezing earlier gives you the best possible foundation for the future.
At IVF Matters, eggs frozen before the age of 36 have a 95% survival rate after thawing. This is one of the strongest indicators of a successful outcome and reflects the quality of our laboratory processes and the expertise of our embryology team. More broadly, patients aged 30 to 43 treated at IVF Matters between 2022 and 2024 achieved a 47% IVF success rate and a 50% frozen embryo transfer success rate, both above the UK averages of 25% and 33%, respectively, based on HFEA national data.
It is also worth noting that birth rates from frozen eggs are increasing, with HFEA data showing an 18% live-birth rate per treatment cycle across the UK. This figure continues to rise as freezing and thawing techniques improve.
That said, we will always be honest with you: egg freezing preserves your options, but it cannot guarantee a pregnancy. The number of eggs you freeze, your age at the time of freezing, and a range of individual health factors all play a role in future outcomes. Our consultants will always give you a clear, personalised picture of what to expect before you make any decisions.
For full transparency, we encourage you to explore HFEA's published data alongside our own figures.

You will not be handed between different members of staff or left chasing answers. The same familiar faces will be there at every step.

We also offer access to a wider network of specialists, including counsellors, nutritionists and fertility coaches, so that your emotional and physical wellbeing is supported alongside your treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Egg Freezing
From your first consultation to egg collection, the egg freezing process typically takes about 4 to 6 weeks. This includes your initial assessment, ovarian stimulation for around 10 to 14 days, and the egg collection procedure itself. The timeline can vary depending on your individual response to treatment and cycle timing.
The general guidance is to freeze between 10 and 20 mature eggs, though the right number for you will depend on your age, ovarian reserve and future goals. This is something we will discuss openly during your consultation, so you can make an informed decision based on your personal circumstances.
The hormone injections used during ovarian stimulation may cause mild discomfort at the injection site, along with some bloating. The egg collection procedure itself is performed under light sedation, so you will not be awake or in pain during the process. Most patients feel well enough to return home the same day.
Under HFEA regulations, frozen eggs can be stored for up to 10 years as standard. This can be extended up to 55 years in specific medical circumstances, such as for women who freeze their eggs for oncofertility reasons. Consent forms are updated every 10 years to ensure your wishes remain current.
Egg freezing is generally safe when carried out at a licensed clinic. The main risk is Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS), which occurs when the ovaries respond too strongly to stimulation medication. It is rare and manageable with close monitoring throughout your cycle. As with all fertility treatments, egg freezing does not guarantee a future pregnancy.
Yes. Many women with PCOS or endometriosis go on to freeze their eggs successfully. These conditions do require specialist monitoring and a carefully tailored approach, which is why a thorough consultation is so important. Our team has extensive experience managing both conditions throughout the egg freezing process.
Social egg freezing, where you are choosing to preserve your fertility for personal reasons, is not usually funded by the NHS. Medical egg freezing, also known as oncofertility preservation, may be available on the NHS for women whose fertility is at risk due to medical treatment such as chemotherapy. Eligibility varies by region.
Frozen eggs are unfertilised at the time of storage, while frozen embryos have already been fertilised with sperm before freezing. Egg freezing is often the preferred option for women who do not currently have a partner, or who prefer not to make decisions about fertilisation at this stage. Your consultant will help you understand which option best suits your circumstances.
