Other options

Egg freezing is not for everyone.

If you decide not to freeze your eggs, you may like to consider your other options which may or may not include having children in the future.

This section of the website explains in more detail:

• Embryo freezing - Another way to preserve a woman's fertility before it naturally declines, however it requires sperm from a male partner or donor.
• Trying for a child now – Either naturally or with fertility treatments such as IVF .
• Waiting to see what happens – Trying for a child later either naturally or with fertility treatments, living child free, adoption or fostering.

Note: Ovarian tissue freezing ( cryopreservation) is a procedure which some people use to preserve their fertility. However, currently it is only available for women who may become infertile for medical reasons such as cancer treatment.
