Egg Freezing & Preservation
Preserve Possibility.
Plan with Confidence.
If you're not ready to build a family now but want to preserve options for the future, egg freezing may give you greater flexibility around when you choose to pursue parenthood.
​
At Davies Fertility & IVF Specialists, we'll help you understand what egg freezing can—and cannot—offer and whether it may be appropriate for your age, reproductive goals, health, and future plans.
Fertility Preservation Is About Creating Options.
Egg freezing can't predict what your future fertility needs will be—or guarantee a future pregnancy. What it can do is preserve eggs at your current age, giving you another reproductive option if and when you're ready to build a family.
Understanding Egg Freezing
What Is Egg Freezing?
Egg freezing, or oocyte cryopreservation, involves stimulating the ovaries to develop multiple eggs, retrieving mature eggs, and freezing them for potential future use. If you choose to use the eggs later, they are thawed and fertilized as part of an IVF treatment cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Egg Freezing
Egg freezing may be worth considering if you want to preserve reproductive options for the future or before surgical treatment that could affect fertility. Age matters because both egg quantity and quality generally decline over time.
There isn't one number that's right for everyone. Your age, expected response, number of mature eggs retrieved, and future family-building goals all help inform the discussion.
Frozen eggs can remain stored for many years. We'll explain storage arrangements and considerations as part of your treatment planning.
No. Egg freezing preserves reproductive options but doesn't guarantee a future pregnancy. Success depends on several factors, particularly your age when the eggs are frozen and the number of mature eggs available for future use.
