What You Need To Know About Freezing Your Eggs

If you’re considering egg freezing, we’ll guide you through the important factors you need to think about. Some points to consider include:

Timing

The quality and quantity of a woman’s eggs decline with age. Freezing eggs at a younger age typically increases the chances of future pregnancy success.

Hormonal stimulation

Prior to retrieval, you will undergo hormonal treatment to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs.

Medical procedure

The process of retrieving eggs is typically done under sedation and involves a needle guided by ultrasound to collect eggs from the ovaries.

Success rates

While egg freezing can be a path to future pregnancy, it’s not a guarantee. Success rates can depend on your age at freezing, the number of eggs frozen, and the egg quality.

Cost considerations

Egg freezing can involve a significant cost, including costs for the hormonal drugs, the retrieval procedure, and ongoing storage fees.

Storage duration

Consider how long you plan to store your eggs, as some facilities may have limits on storage duration.

Invest in Your Future

Deciding to preserve your fertility is a heartfelt decision that also involves a financial commitment. The Australian government does not cover the direct costs of IVF, but it may provide financial assistance through rebates for treatments.
