Egg and Sperm Freezing

The Edinburgh Fertility Centre offers comprehensive services for egg and sperm freezing, with over 40 years of experience in the field. 

What is Egg and Sperm Freezing

This is a method to preserve fertility, where eggs and sperm are collected, frozen, and stored for future use. Both egg and sperm freezing are ways people can keep their fertility options open for later. Patients who do not then use their eggs or sperm can also choose to donate which could assist others in fertility treatments. 

N.B. Patients wishing to freeze their eggs must be <41 years of age.

If you’re concerned about your fertility declining but aren’t ready to start a family or haven’t found the right partner yet, elective freezing is a viable option.
