Teenage and young adult cancers fertility preservation - egg freezing: patient information
Scottish Government and NHS Scotland Teenage and Young Adult Cancers patient information for those patients considering fertility preservation by egg freezing.
Will my cancer treatment have to be postponed if I choose egg freezing?
Egg freezing typically takes two to three weeks to complete. If your cancer treatment can be safely delayed for this period, your specialist can refer you to discuss fertility preservation options, including egg freezing. However, if your cancer treatment needs to start urgently, there may not be enough time to complete egg freezing before starting treatment. In these situations, other options might be considered.
