For Women
Egg Freezing
Egg freezing at Bridge Clinic
Life doesn’t always go according to plan, and when it comes to fertility, having options can make all the difference. Egg freezing offers women the flexibility to preserve their fertility, whether for medical reasons, career goals, or personal circumstances.
At Bridge Clinic, we understand the importance of planning for the future. Our advanced egg freezing services provide a safe and effective way to secure your fertility, allowing you to start a family when the time is right.
What is egg freezing?
Egg freezing, or oocyte cryopreservation, is a fertility preservation technique that allows women to store unfertilised eggs for future use. The process involves stimulating the ovaries, retrieving mature eggs, and freezing them using vitrification, a rapid-freezing method that preserves their quality.
Egg freezing is commonly recommended for:
- Women who wish to preserve fertility for future family planning
- Those undergoing medical treatments that may affect reproductive health, such as chemotherapy
- Women with a family history of early menopause or diminished ovarian reserve
- Individuals who are not yet ready for parenthood but want to keep their options open
When you’re ready to conceive, the frozen eggs are thawed, fertilized using IVF, and transferred into the uterus for implantation.
Is egg freezing right for you?
Egg freezing is a proactive step for those who want greater control over their reproductive future. It offers flexibility, allowing you to pursue career goals, focus on personal priorities, or safeguard your fertility before medical treatments.
You may want to consider egg freezing if:
- You’re in your 20s or early 30s and want to preserve eggs while they are at their best quality
- You’re approaching your late 30s and want to freeze eggs before fertility naturally declines
- You have been advised to freeze your eggs due to an underlying medical condition or treatment
- You are not yet ready to start a family but want peace of mind for the future
Egg freezing process: step-by-step
We follow a structured and carefully monitored approach to egg freezing to ensure the best possible outcomes.
Consultation
A consultation session will be held with the doctor to review the process, address any concerns, and discuss what to expect.
Diagnostic testing
A series of tests will be conducted, followed by a consultation to review the results and create a personalised treatment plan.
Stimulating the ovaries
Fertility medication is used to stimulate the ovaries, encouraging the production of multiple mature eggs for retrieval.
Monitoring the eggs
The development of the eggs is carefully tracked through ultrasound scans and blood tests.
Collecting the eggs
Once the eggs are mature, they are retrieved through a minor surgical procedure performed under light sedation.
Freezing the eggs
The collected eggs are frozen using an advanced technique called vitrification, ensuring their long-term preservation for future use.
At every stage, our specialists provide expert guidance and support, ensuring you feel comfortable and informed throughout the process.
