Egg freezing is one way of preserving your fertility so you can use them later on for more fertility treatment. You might want to consider freezing your eggs if:
- You have a medical condition or need treatment for a medical condition that will affect your fertility, such as cancer (in this case NHS funding may be available depending on where you live).
- You’re at risk of injury or death (for example, you’re a member of the Armed Forces who is being deployed to a war zone).
- If you’re a female transitioning to a male, you may want to preserve your fertility before you start hormone therapy or have reconstructive surgery. Both treatments can lead to the partial or total loss of your fertility.
- You don’t want to have leftover embryos after IVF treatment for ethical reasons.
