"I know the future is bright. My eggs are ready when we are." When I started exploring egg freezing options, I wanted to feel secure about my future choices, whether I use the eggs or not. It feels like an insurance policy: my eggs are safely stored, and if we ever need them, they’re there. This freedom allows me to live life to the fullest—traveling, working, partying, going to gigs—without worrying about my fertility timeline.
Thanks to London Egg Bank’s Freeze and Share programme, I know I have options. It’s empowering to have that reassurance and to know that when the time is right, I can take the next step.
Why I Chose London Egg Bank for Egg Freezing
When I began researching egg freezing, I looked into several clinics across the UK. What really stood out about London Egg Bank was the clarity and care throughout the process.
From day one, everything was explained in detail. I was reassured at every stage—from understanding how my body would feel to what happens during the procedure. I remember turning up for surgery, feeling bloated (as they predicted), but the team’s kindness put my mind at ease. It was comforting to know they were aware of every step of the journey and anticipated how I might feel.
The team was so supportive that it made the entire process a positive and natural experience.
Freeze and Share: Helping Others on Their Parenthood Journey
One of the most rewarding parts of my journey with London Egg Bank’s Freeze and Share programme was knowing I could help others. Through the programme, you freeze your eggs, keep half, and donate the other half. For me, it was about more than my own future—it was about giving someone else the chance to start their family.
"There are so many people out there who would make fantastic parents but struggle with fertility. I love the idea that my donation could help them build the family they dream of."
I donated my eggs three times, each time knowing that my contribution could make a huge difference. It’s incredible to think that someone could become a parent because of this programme.
"I'm really excited about my future. I know that when we’re ready, we’ve got out eggs saved and ready to go. So, it’s like an insurance policy."
Considering Egg Freezing? Think About the Bigger Picture
If you’re thinking about freezing your eggs—especially through a programme like Freeze and Share—take a moment to consider the impact. Think about your own family, your friends, and how much they mean to you. Now imagine giving that gift to someone who can’t have children on their own.
I also thought about the future contact aspect. In London Egg Bank’s programme, children born from donated eggs have the option to reach out later in life. At first, I wasn’t sure how I felt about this, but after talking it through with my partner, he said, “It would be good for you to connect with someone who wants to know you. It could be relieving and enjoyable.”
His support made me realize that this is a chance to create a positive connection—not just for me but for the child who might want to understand where they came from.
My Egg Freezing Journey: A Bright Future Ahead
For now, I feel excited about the future. I have my eggs saved, ready to go if and when I need them. And in the meantime, I can keep enjoying my life, knowing that I’ve made a choice that gives me freedom and peace of mind.
If you’re considering egg freezing, I’d highly recommend looking into London Egg Bank’s Freeze and Share programme. Not only will you secure your fertility options, but you’ll also have the incredible opportunity to help someone else start their family.
For me, this journey has been about freedom, empowerment, and generosity. I feel like I’ve given myself—and others—the gift of a bright future.

What is the best age to freeze my eggs?
Just how quickly fertility declines is dependent on a number of genetic and lifestyle factors, including weight, exercise, stress, environment and medications, but generally you can be sure that egg quality and quantity will decline with advancing age.
