Welcome to TFP Wessex Fertility in Southampton! Egg freezing is a fantastic way to protect your future fertility, allowing you to start a family when the time feels right for you.
If you’re considering this option, our skilled team is here to guide you through every step of the process. Egg freezing involves a partial IVF cycle where we carefully retrieve your eggs from your ovaries, freeze them quickly, and store them safely for later use. You might want to think about egg freezing for several reasons, like if you’re not quite ready to have kids yet, if you’re facing medical treatments that could impact your fertility, or if you’re a transgender or non-binary individual preparing for gender-affirming surgery.
With over 35 years of experience, you can trust us to provide personalized care and cutting-edge science throughout your egg freezing journey. To begin the process, you’ll go through several steps over approximately three weeks:
- Ovarian Stimulation: You’ll start with daily hormone injections to help your ovaries produce multiple eggs.
- Cycle Suppression: A second injection will help control your natural hormone levels.
- Monitoring: Regular scans will track the growth of your follicles.
- Egg Retrieval: Once the follicles are ready, you’ll receive a final injection before we gently collect your eggs. Don’t worry, this part is done under sedation to keep you comfortable.
- Freezing: Finally, your healthy eggs are rapidly frozen using a method called vitrification, ensuring they are well-preserved until you’re ready to use them.
If you’re curious about costs, we provide clear pricing at TFP Wessex Fertility. A typical egg freezing cycle is around £4,515, with additional costs for medication and annual storage fees. We also offer finance options to make this process more accessible. And if you’re considering our egg sharing program, you could even reduce your treatment costs while helping someone else on their fertility journey.
