Should I freeze my eggs? There has been a huge rise in the popularity in freezing eggs over the last 5 years. COVID is thought to be a huge factor that impacted this. Statistics show a rise of nearly 50% of enquiries into egg freezing since 2020. So what’s it all about, what’s involved and how does it work? To discuss this I am joined by Rebecca who is the Patient Services Manager at The Evewell. She is a registered midwife and has supported many people through their treatment. And she has recently frozen her own eggs, so shares both her professional and personal expriences.
