What is egg freezing?
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 directly from your ovaries, rapidly freeze them and safely store them for future use.

How does egg freezing work?
As Northern Ireland's longest-standing private fertility clinic, we offer world-class fertility care to patients pursuing egg freezing.
The egg freezing process includes undergoing a partial IVF cycle and can take up to three weeks. Here is a step by step guide on what to expect when freezing your eggs:
&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.
Take control of your fertility.

Our egg freezing success rates
We estimate that 90% of eggs survive the freeze-thaw process, which is a key factor when considering how effective egg freezing is as a fertility option.
The likelihood of getting pregnant with frozen eggs depends on several factors, including age. Women who freeze their eggs before the age of 35 generally have a higher chance of conceiving.
