Fertility preservation - egg freezing: patient information
Scottish Government and NHS Scotland general patient information for those patients considering fertility preservation by egg freezing.
What if I don’t want to proceed at this stage?
If you decide not to proceed with egg freezing at this stage, that is perfectly acceptable. The decision is entirely yours. It’s natural to feel uncertain, and taking more time to think things over is perfectly reasonable. If you’re unsure, it may help to talk it through with your healthcare team, fertility specialist, or a counsellor to better understand your options. Opting out of egg freezing will not impact your treatment, and you can explore other options to build a family in the future if you change your mind.
