I have hypothalamic amenorrhea which is not improving despite all the lifestyle changes I have made so I suspect I will need fertility treatment in order to get pregnant. My partner and I would like a family but we are not ready yet. However, I will be 34 in June and I am conscious that time is not on my side so I am wondering whether embryo freezing would be a good idea rather than having IVF later with poorer quality eggs.
I am finding it hard to find information on how successful this can be. I assume it is not available on the NHS and obviously fertility clinics say how good it is because they want you to spend ££££ with them.
Does anyone have any experience with, or knowledge of, this? How much money would it cost to freeze and then later transfer? From what I can see, it looks like the process of freezing costs around £5500 but I'm sure there are hidden costs.
This whole topic is causing me so much anxiety and stress. I wish the information available was more transparent :(
