Fertility preservation - egg freezing: patient information

Scottish Government and NHS Scotland general patient information for those patients considering fertility preservation by egg freezing.


What do I do when I wish to use the stored eggs?

You need to contact your GP to ask for a referral to your local fertility centre, preferably the one where your eggs are stored.

It’s also important to note that additional criteria must be met to access NHS fertility treatment using your stored eggs in the future. These criteria may change over time, and it is not possible to predict what the requirements will be in the years to come. Current criteria can be found here - Access Criteria NHS IVF Treatment Scotland – Fertility Network.
