Hi

Unfortunately the nhs egg freezing is only for those with a diagnosis of cancer where the treatment given - surgical or medical is likely to have an effect on their fertility. NHS fertility centres will freeze eggs for women but they will have to pay privately for this to be carried out including the yearly fee for the eggs to remain frozen, as well as the drugs given to produce the eggs ready for collection. When I looked recently this was £600 per year in London to keep the eggs frozen and several thousand for the drugs etc. If you have the money at your disposal it might be worth it although they can't guarantee that eggs left in storage for years wont have their quality affected by the freezing
