Egg freezing is becoming an extremely popular option for women wanting to preserve their future fertility. We have seen a tripling of the market for egg freezing in less than a decade, but women aren’t always clear exactly what the process of freezing their eggs entails from a medical perspective, or when in their lives they should take this step.

Women wishing to freeze their eggs will have hormone injections to grow their eggs over a 2 week period. The eggs are then collected under anaesthetic and then frozen in our state-of-the-art lab and stored until the woman is ready to start a family. 

Egg freezing affords women greater control over their reproductive lives and careers, and as such, this option is now being taken up by many women. Dr Ruba is delighted to offer this service to her patients.
