How Much Does Egg Freezing Cost? [2025 Guide]

Thinking about freezing your eggs? You’re not alone. Whether you’re focusing on your career, waiting for the right partner, or simply want to give yourself more options later on, egg freezing can be an empowering step. But let’s be honest—the cost is often one of the first questions women ask.

At fertie, we believe transparency gives you the power to make informed, confident choices. Here’s a clear, supportive breakdown of what egg freezing really costs, what’s included, and how to financially plan for your journey.

What Is Egg Freezing?

Egg freezing (oocyte cryopreservation) is a process where your eggs are collected from your ovaries, frozen, and stored for potential future use. It allows you to preserve your fertility and use your younger, healthier eggs later if you choose.

Like many medical procedures, egg freezing comes with costs that can vary based on where you go and how many cycles you need.

What’s Included in the Cost (And What’s Not)

Typically Included in the Per-Cycle Price:

• Monitoring (ultrasounds and blood tests)

• Hormone stimulation coordination

• Egg retrieval procedure

• Laboratory costs for freezing and vitrification

Common Additional Costs (Not Always Included):

• Medications (for ovarian stimulation): varies by location

• Annual storage fees (for keeping eggs frozen long-term)

• Future embryo creation + IVF transfer if/when you use the eggs

• Extra consultations, pre-treatment screenings, or lab tests

Always ask your clinic for a detailed breakdown so there are no surprises later.

How Many Cycles Might You Need?

Most clinics recommend freezing 10 to 20 mature eggs for the best chance of success in the future.

• Women under 35 often achieve this with one cycle.

• Women 35 and older may need two or more cycles to collect enough eggs, increasing costs.

Each additional cycle adds to your overall investment—but may also give you more reassurance.

Personal Insight: My Experience Freezing Eggs in Spain

“When I froze my eggs in Spain at 34, the cost was around €2,500 per cycle. I chose to do two cycles to get a total of 18 eggs. Factoring in medications and storage, I spent just under €7,000 for both cycles—far less than I would have spent in the UK. It wasn’t an easy decision, but having my eggs frozen gave me peace of mind and options I didn’t have before.”
