Thinking about having some of my eggs frozen. What does it involve? Also wondering if I'm too young for it

I'm 26 and I've known since I was young that I want kids. I was hoping to have my first baby before reaching 30, as I have read that fertility starts to decline after that, then eventually falls off a cliff after 35. I would prefer to be settled down and have a partner before having any kids, but I would also prefer being a single mum to never being a mum. I am so tired of online dating and trying to find a man. I'm considering what my options are in case I end up either not finding a partner at all, or not finding someone until I get to 35+ when my fertility might be a problem. I can't stop thinking and worrying about it. Should I think about having my eggs frozen? How much does it typically cost?

It is still possible to get pregnant after 35. Plenty of women do. It would take a lot of looking into to and I imagine it's quite expensive

I believe the success rate with frozen eggs is low, about 3%, so all a bit misleading really.
You're very young still
Plenty of time yet.
