What is Egg Freezing?
Egg freezing is a fertility preservation treatment that allows you to store your eggs at their current quality, giving you the option to use them later when you're ready to try for a baby. The process involves a short course of hormone injections to stimulate your ovaries, followed by a minor procedure to collect the eggs, which are then frozen and safely stored for future use.
It's a way of protecting your fertility options on your own timeline — whether you're focused on your career, waiting for the right partner, or simply not ready to start a family yet.
HFEA-Registered, Consultant-Led Care
Freezing your eggs is one of the most empowering decisions you can make — and one you don't have to navigate alone. Our HFEA-Registered satellite clinic is based on Harley Street. Combines personalised, consultant-led care with proven outcomes. Prefer to consult remotely? We also offer online consultations with evening slots, so you can take this step with confidence — wherever you are.
Is Egg Freezing Right for You?
There's no single reason to freeze your eggs — timing, career, or simply not having met the right partner yet are all valid reasons on their own. Egg freezing puts your fertility on your terms, giving you the freedom to decide when you're ready.
You may want to consider egg freezing if you:
- Want to preserve your fertility while focusing on your career or personal goals
- Aren't 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.
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
STEP 1
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.
STEP 2
Ovarian Stimulation
To increase the number of eggs available for freezing, you'll undergo hormonal injections lasting around 10–14 days, monitored closely with regular scans and blood tests.
STEP 3
Egg Collection Procedure
Once your eggs are ready, they're retrieved in a minor outpatient procedure under sedation, guided by ultrasound. This usually takes around 20–30 minutes.
STEP 4
Freezing the Eggs
Mature, high-quality eggs are frozen using vitrification — a rapid freezing technique that minimises ice crystal formation, preserving the eggs for future use.
STEP 5
Egg Storage
Your frozen eggs are stored in a secure, temperature-controlled environment. Healthy eggs can remain frozen for many years without compromising quality.
STEP 6
Follow-Up & Next Steps
Your fertility specialists and clinic staff guide you every step of the way, discussing the best options for your future family plans when you're ready.

Hear What Our Patients Are Saying
Excellent Care
I’ve completed two rounds of egg freezing. Dr Irfana and her whole team have been very friendly and supportive. There is excellent care and great attention to detail. The process has gone very smoothly and I’ve had no side effects or complications which I think is partly due to careful consideration on the medication. I’ve had great results so far. Highly recommend.
Expert Guidance
Our experience with Dr Irfana during our treatment was exceptional, and we wholeheartedly endorse her services. Throughout the entire process, we received expert guidance and unwavering support. Dr Irfana was readily available to address any questions or concerns we had, providing reassurance and clear explanations. She provided guidance and reassurance on medication management promptly through WhatsApp, ensuring quick responses. If you're seeking an honest, supportive, kind, and trustworthy doctor to accompany you on this journey, I highly recommend Dr Irfana.
Extremely Supportive
Dr Koita is there exactly when you need her. She always will check in, answer any questions and supports you through any treatments. Even in the consultation, she explained every detail very well so that i knew exactly what i was getting myself into. She made the process easier and was extremely supportive and understanding. I will definitely be going back to Dr Koita and recommending to anyone who needs her services.
Felt Reassured
I saw Irfana for egg freezing. Throughout the whole process I felt confident I was in the right hands and reassured at each step. She’s very contactable during the cycle via WhatsApp, able to quickly answer any questions.
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.
