Thinking About Egg Freezing?

Explore why many women in their 30s choose egg freezing, what the process involves, costs and timelines—insights from Dr. Susan Davies at Davies Fertility & IVF Specialists.


If you’re in your 30s and thinking long-term about your fertility, egg freezing may be on your mind. At Davies Fertility & IVF Specialists, I hear questions like: “Is it too late? How much will it cost? How sure can I be?” This blog aims to clarify the process and help you make informed decisions.


Many women are focusing on career, relationships, or just want more time.Egg quality declines with age—freezing while younger can preserve options.Advances in vitrification (freezing technique) have improved outcomes.It’s a proactive choice, not a guarantee—but it offers peace of mind.

The Egg Freezing Process Simplified

  1. Initial consultation & testing – evaluation of ovarian reserve (AMH, ultrasound).

  2. Stimulation cycle – medication to grow multiple eggs; monitoring with blood & ultrasound.

  3. Egg retrieval – outpatient procedure; eggs collected under sedation.

  4. Freezing (vitrification) – eggs preserved for your future use.

  5. When ready: thaw, fertilize, and transfer – subject to your future plan.


What to Know About Costs, Timing & Expectations

  • Cost varies: medications + retrieval + freezing, plus annual storage.

  • Insurance may not cover elective freezing; ask for financing options.

  • Not all frozen eggs will result in a baby—age and egg count still matter.

  • Storage time is flexible; many freeze now and use later when ready.
