You are a good candidate if you meet any of the following criteria:

→ You are going through medical treatments such as cancer treatment, using medication to transition and gender reassignment surgery.

→ You aren't ready to have a baby, for many different reasons such as not being ready, having not met the right partner, or concentrating on other plans. You may want to preserve your fertility a bit longer.

→ Occasionally, egg freezing takes place in a previously planned IVF cycle if sperm is not available.

Age and outcome:
Reports from the HFEA reveal that while a woman’s age at thaw has relatively little impact on the chances of success, the age at freeze or at treatment does, with evidence showing that if eggs are frozen or used in treatment below the age of 35, the chances of success will be higher than the natural conception rate as the woman gets older. This means it matters far less what age a woman is when she uses the eggs; what is more important is the age the patient is when the eggs are frozen or used in fresh treatment.

You are a good candidate if you meet any of the following critera:

→ If you have been trying to get pregnant for a year, we usually recommend fertility diagnostics. In certain situations, we may recommend them sooner than this.

→ If you have any questions on whether diagnostics are right for you, please get in touch with one of our advisors to discuss your background and fertility history.
