Treatments > Preserve Fertility > Embryo Freezing

Freeze your embryos

Suitable for women or couples who are going through IVF but wish to preserve the resulting embryos for implantation at a later date.

Who should consider embryo freezing?

Embryo freezing may be suitable for you if you have undergone one cycle of IVF but wish to preserve the resulting embryos for implantation at a later date. This may be because our specialists have advised against a fresh transfer, or for those who are simply not ready to have a baby but wish to preserve their fertility.

How embryo freezing works

The embryo freezing process is the same, regardless of whether your embryos are being frozen with the aim of preserving fertility, or as part of an IVF cycle. After we have completed our initial consultations and tests, the process can be broken down into 5 steps:

1
Ovaries stimulated
The ovaries are stimulated with a course of fertility medication, in order to produce multiple eggs.
2
Eggs retrieved
After careful consideration, the eggs are retrieved from the ovaries at an optimal time.
3
Eggs fertilised
Once collected, they are fertilised with sperm from either a male partner or a donor in our laboratory, to create resulting embryos.
4
Embryos frozen
These embryos are assessed by consultants, with high-quality ones placed in individual ‘straws’ and covered in a vitrification solution, before being frozen in liquid nitrogen.

When do I use my embryos?

Once you are ready for pregnancy, we will remove one of your frozen embryos from storage, before thawing and preparing for implantation, with our Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) treatment package.

Total cost: £6,500

All inclusive cost. No surprises.

Our approach is different

All inclusive pricing and as much at-home care as possible.

Our costs may look higher. But, you won’t get any surprises.

All-inclusive pricing means that the quoted price covers everything, including medications, monitoring, procedures, and any other necessary services.

You won't get any surprises or hidden costs later on. With other clinics, you may not include certain expenses upfront, so you could end up paying more than you expected.

All inclusive cost. No surprises.
