It’s time to have a frank conversation about IVF and fertility and debunk the most common myths
"When I see women they want to explore their options, and what I want them to understand is that the egg freezing should be their plan B. It shouldn't be plan A, because it doesn't guarantee that you're going to fall pregnant, the same way that you don't know whether you're going to fall pregnant when you go through an IVF cycle, there’s no 100 per cent guarantee. It still has some limitations.
"If you want to maximize the cost effectiveness, then you're better off leaving it to later, when you start seeing that the chances of you falling pregnant naturally or with a partner are decreasing. But then the catch is that the longer that we leave it, it becomes less successful." 'So you’ve got to get it right in that you get the better quality eggs to freeze, but then you don’t sell yourself short for how long you can use them for.'"We do see a lot of women who come to clinics and want to explore egg freezing when they're 39, 40, or over 40. And then it's not the number one recommended choice.
"At the end of this two week period, we have a procedure called an egg retrieval, which is done trans vaginally, so it doesn't involve any cuts, it's just a fine needle that is inserted through the vaginal port. It's usually done under a mild anesthetic, intravenous sedation rather than a general anesthetic.
"However, because we've seen trends of more women wanting to freeze eggs socially, there is a possibility this will be reviewed in the future to increase the limit.""Egg freezing as a procedure has not been done for as long as embryo freezing, and we are limited in that many of the women who have decided to freeze their eggs have not come back to use them yet. We won't know until we start thawing eggs the success of the process for each individual.
