How Much Does It Cost to Freeze Your Eggs in 2025? Complete Price Breakdown

Freezing your eggs is a powerful step towards preserving fertility. But how much does it cost to freeze your eggs—and what goes into that total? Whether you're comparing clinics in the UK or Turkey, this guide offers a clear, expert overview tailored for 2025.

What Is Egg Freezing (Oocyte Cryopreservation)?

Egg freezing, or oocyte cryopreservation, is the process of extracting a woman’s eggs and freezing them for future use. Ideal for those delaying parenthood, undergoing medical treatment, or facing diminished ovarian reserve, this procedure gives you more control over your reproductive future.

What Influences the Total Cost

Emotional & Personal Costs

Beyond the financial investment, egg-freezing can be physically taxing and emotionally charged. UK TV presenter Danni Menzies described the process as "lonely" and “emotionally overwhelming,” with one cycle costing £3,000–£5,000. It's common to experience emotional lows, hormonal mood shifts, and anxiety.

Is Egg Freezing Worth It?

1. Confidence boost: Many women, including a 29-year-old featured in The Times, report feeling empowered after freezing their eggs—even amidst uncertainty.
2. Success rates: Roughly 27–36% live birth per embryo transferred, depending on age and clinic.
3. Risks: Medication effects, overstimulation syndrome, and the possibility of non-viable eggs.

Planning Your Budget in 2025

1. Start with a fertility MOT (consultation + tests)
2. Clarify exact package details: retrieval, freezing, 1 year storage
3. Plan for extra cycles if needed to reach 12–20 eggs
4. Estimate thaw/transfer costs later (~£2,000–£4,000 in UK)
5. Include annual storage fees: £350–£400 in UK, lower in Turkey
