Cost of Freezing Embryos, Where should we go?

[ottermum3]

I am not sure if this is the correct place to post this but I would appreciate everyone's wisdom!

For some unexpected and deeply personal reasons, we anticipate we will not be able to have the baby we have dreamed about in the next few years.

In preparation for this, we want to freeze some embryos. We are completely newbies in this realm and aside from casual research I don't even know where to begin the research

Is there a more appropriate forum I should read?
How much would it cost ~in the UK if we had to go private?
Is there anywhere in Europe that does this well that I research?

Thank you!

It sounds like you haven't been through IVF yet to get any embryos to freeze?

In which case you'll need to factor in at least one round of IVF but to be honest If your reasons for delaying are health related id sign up to a multi cycle package - minimum of 3 to ensure you get a good number to freeze (some people are lucky to get 5 embryos on their first cycle but most people probably only get 1 or 2) and the statistics show that 3 cycles is the best number to have the best odds of having a successful pregnancy

Cost wise PER cycle you are looking around £7k minimum including freezing

I did a 3 cycle package of natural modified IVF which is much gentler on the body and that cost £13.5k and I got 4 top quality embryos to freeze
