Understanding Egg Freezing at TFP Simply Fertility
Egg freezing is a way to preserve your fertility, giving you more flexibility to start a family when the time is right. To freeze your eggs, you'll need to undergo a partial IVF cycle where we'll retrieve your eggs from your ovaries, rapidly freeze them and safely store them for future use.
You might consider egg freezing if:
You're not ready to start a family
You’re undergoing medical treatment that may affect fertility
You are a transgender or non-binary person about to undergo gender affirming surgery
You want to preserve your fertility for personal or lifestyle reasons

How Egg Freezing Works at Our TFP Simply Fertility Clinic
To freeze your eggs, you will have to go through a partial IVF cycle. It can take up to three weeks to freeze your eggs and involves the following steps:
&w=3840&q=75)
Step one
Stimulating the ovaries
A daily injection is used at home to stimulate follicular growth within the ovaries. This increases the number of eggs that are collected.
In most cases, this is a 14-day course of hormone medication.
Step two
Suppressing the natural menstrual cycle
A second daily injection is then added at home to stop natural hormone production and control when your eggs are released.

Step three
Monitoring progress
Pelvic scans will be performed to check the development and growth of the follicles in the ovaries. This will determine when the eggs are collected from the follicles.
Step four
Egg retrieval
Once the follicles have reached the correct size, an injection will be given to mature the eggs for collection. A needle is then gently guided through the vaginal wall to capture the eggs one by one. Don’t worry, you will be sedated for this part of the procedure to ensure no pain or discomfort.

Step five
Freezing
Healthy eggs are cooled using a method called vitrification. They are then safely stored in a cryopreservation chamber until you're ready to use them.

Considering Egg Sharing? What You Need to Know at TFP Simply Fertility
Through our egg sharing scheme, eligible patients have the opportunity to donate their eggs, supporting others in need through egg donation.
Egg sharing can be a rewarding experience, helping another person take a step towards starting their family. In return, your egg freezing treatment is offered at a reduced cost.
Not everyone will be eligible, as several factors are considered, including age, BMI, smoking status, and overall fertility health. Your consultant will discuss your suitability during your consultation at our Nottingham clinic.
