If you freeze your eggs under the age of 37, there is a high chance you only need 1 cycle and that you’ll get nearly double the number of eggs.
Women are marrying later, starting families later and prioritizing careers, education and personal growth.
We’re living in a time where women are empowered to make choices about their futures, yet our biology hasn’t caught up with our modern lifestyles.
And more women than ever are suffering with conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, autoimmune diseases or a family history of early menopause
The younger you are when you freeze your eggs, the more mature eggs you can retrieve to be frozen to use at a time when is right for you.
There’s a significant drop in both egg quantity and quality between ages 30 and 36. By the time you hit 36 your chances of conceiving naturally decrease dramatically, and data has shown that the risk of chromosomal abnormalities increases as you’ll see from the chart below:
At age 30, a typical retrieval may collect around 10-12 viable eggs, but by 36 that number halves and the likelihood of chromosomal abnormalities triples.
So if you’re in your early 30s, now is the best time to freeze your eggs. If you’re in your mid-30s, it’s even more important to take action to give you the best possible chance of becoming a Mum when the time is right for you.
Egg freezing is no longer the preserve of the rich and famous – in the UK, the cost to freeze your eggs is averaging around £3,500 per cycle with storage costs being just a few hundred pounds.
Egg freezing is a really accessible and affordable route to safeguard your fertility and your future family.
Hey, I’m Lucy,
And I’m passionate about supporting women like you to preserve your fertility.
I know what it’s like to be certain you want to be a mum one day—but to also be focused on your career, single, or just not quite ready yet.
That was me.
I met my husband at 32, and we started trying for a baby when I was 34.
I assumed it would happen quickly, but instead, I faced a three-year battle with unexplained infertility. At 37, I finally conceived via IVF.
Looking back, I wish someone had educated me about my fertility and my options—yet egg freezing was never even mentioned to me, despite being available for over a decade.
The women I support today often find themselves in a similar place—single or recently out of a long-term relationship, knowing they want to be a mum one day but feeling anxious and emotional that life hasn’t gone as planned.
They don’t want to leave things to chance.
They want to take control of their future fertility—and they want someone by their side who truly understands the journey.
The truth is, deciding to freeze your eggs is a bit of a Pandora’s Box.
It seems like an easy enough decision, but my clients tell me they were surprised by everything it brought up.
It’s not just a case of book treatment and off you go.
Because the reasons you’re considering egg freezing usually throw up a raft of other considerations that you need to be mentally and emotionally prepared to handle.
Going down this path can evoke all kinds of thoughts and feelings, realisations and reactions – your family can be confused at your decision, or you might be hiding it from them, or from a partner and have guilt about that, or you might simply have decided to wait because you’re focusing on your career, and are dealing with surprising reactions from your loved ones.
And how you feel, as you enter treatment has a massive impact on your success (in terms of the number of eggs that they can harvest)
Like my client Olivia who suffered from low AMH .and typically when that happens the clinic might expect to collect very few eggs, but with the work we did together to prepare her mind and body she actually generated 18 eggs which was 3x more than what was predicted and saved her huge amounts of money because she only needed to do one cycle.
And Emily who was worried about how her autoimmune disease might affect her chances of becoming a mum, Emily worked with me to navigate the treatment process. Through our work together, she entered treatment feeling confident and retrieved 12 mature eggs, double what was predicted.
The women who come to work with me for support with egg freezing are often single or have come out of long-term relationships. They know they want to become a Mum in the future and are often feeling anxious and emotional that life hasn’t life turned out the way they hoped it would.
They want someone by their side as they embark on treatment to ensure they feel empowered and have taken the right path for them at this stage in their life.
