How it works.
What to expect, start to finish.
Your fertility specialist reviews your history and circumstances before any testing or treatment is discussed, and explains success rates, risks, costs and limits as they apply to you; preservation does not guarantee a future pregnancy.
Your visit, step by step
- Before
We send a short health questionnaire with your confirmation. Arrive ten minutes early and bring a list of medications and any previous records.
- During
Your clinician explains each stage of the cycle before it begins, and your care team checks in with you throughout.
- After
You receive a written summary of your cycle and what it means, and a direct line for every question that follows.
Know the names.

A preservation plan with context
Planned oocyte cryopreservation involves stimulation, retrieval and storage of unfertilized eggs. Future success is uncertain and depends on factors including age at freezing; a stored egg is not a promised baby.
- Discuss age, expected response and the possibility of more than one cycle.
- Understand storage, consent and future-use decisions.
- Ask how success estimates are defined for your situation.

Good to know.
Does it hurt?
Your clinician explains what you may feel at each stage of the cycle and your comfort options before anything begins, and your care team is a message away throughout.
What will I know afterwards?
Freezing is planning, not certainty. After your cycle your clinician walks you through what the numbers mean, what they cannot predict and the options from there.
How do I prepare?
Bring your questions and anything you would like us to see, such as previous results or photographs. If a visit needs any preparation, we tell you when you book and again in your confirmation.
Questions worth bringing.
- What should an individual assessment clarify before I consider egg freezing?
- How will my history, age and relevant test findings shape the options and their uncertainties?
- What medication, retrieval, storage, consent and future-use costs should the clinic explain separately?
