Fertility preservation allows individuals and couples to retain reproductive potential for the future, whether for personal, medical, or social reasons.
As the best egg and sperm freezing clinic in Surrey, we offer embryo cryopreservation, with a focus on accessibility, clinical precision, and clear, transparent pathways to treatment. Patients seek fertility preservation for a variety of reasons.
Some wish to delay childbearing while maintaining future options; others require preservation prior to medical treatment that may affect fertility, such as chemotherapy or surgery.
Our role is to provide accurate information, timely access to treatment, and a realistic understanding of outcomes.
Our Approach
The success of fertility preservation depends on several factors, most notably age and underlying reproductive health. For this reason, all patients undergo an initial consultation and assessment at our Surrey clinic, allowing treatment to be tailored appropriately.
For women considering egg freezing, this includes evaluation of ovarian reserve through anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) testing and ultrasound assessment of antral follicle count.
These results inform both the timing of treatment and the expected number of oocytes that may be retrieved. For men, sperm freezing is generally straightforward but may still involve assessment where there is a known or suspected fertility issue.
For couples, embryo freezing offers an alternative pathway, allowing fertilised embryos to be created and stored for future use.
We Use
Egg freezing involves controlled ovarian stimulation followed by oocyte retrieval and vitrification. Treatment begins early in the menstrual cycle with daily hormonal injections designed to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple follicles.
Response to stimulation is monitored through ultrasound and, where appropriate, blood tests. Once follicles reach the appropriate size, egg collection is performed under sedation.
Retrieved oocytes are then preserved using vitrification, a rapid freezing technique that protects cellular integrity and maintains egg quality. The entire process typically takes two to three weeks from the start of treatment.
Sperm freezing is a well-established and effective method of male fertility preservation.
Samples are collected and processed in the laboratory before being frozen and stored in liquid nitrogen.
This may be undertaken for a range of reasons, including prior to medical treatment, in the context of declining sperm quality, or as part of planned fertility treatment.
In selected cases, particularly where sperm is absent from the ejaculate, surgical sperm retrieval may be required and coordinated with our andrology service.
Embryo freezing involves fertilisation of eggs with sperm in the laboratory, followed by storage of the resulting embryos.
This approach may offer higher predictability of outcomes compared with egg freezing alone, as embryo development provides additional information about viability.
Embryos are typically cultured to the blastocyst stage prior to cryopreservation, allowing for selection based on developmental progression.
Frozen embryo transfer can then be performed in a subsequent cycle when endometrial and clinical conditions are optimal.
One of the most important aspects of fertility preservation is timing.
Outcomes are closely linked to age, particularly for egg freezing and early discussion can help set realistic expectations.
As the best fertility clinic in London, we provide detailed counselling on expected success rates based on age and ovarian reserve, the number of eggs or embryos recommended for storage.
The potential need for more than one stimulation cycle, and long-term storage considerations under UK legislation.
This ensures that decisions are made with a clear understanding of both the benefits and limitations of preservation.
Frozen eggs, sperm, and embryos can be used in future fertility treatment, including IVF and ICSI. Our service is fully integrated with these pathways at our fertility clinic in Surrey, ensuring continuity of care when patients return to use stored material. For patients considering future IVF, embryo freezing may be discussed alongside other options depending on individual circumstances.
Fertility declines with age, particularly in women, and preservation offers a way to retain reproductive potential at an earlier stage.
While it does not guarantee future pregnancy, it can significantly increase the likelihood of success compared with attempting conception at a later age.
Our approach is to provide realistic, evidence-based guidance — enabling patients across Surrey and London and beyond to make informed decisions about their reproductive future.
