No Waiting Lists

Take control of your future by freezing your eggs with Thérapie Fertility! Egg freezing at a younger age gives your future family the best possible chance.

Feel empowered and consider your future self. By freezing your eggs, hopefully you will be more fertility aware. It’s not an ‘insurance policy’ but it certainly is an additional support in your future journey to growing your family.

Who is Egg Freezing suitable for?

Egg Freezing has been around for a long time and was initially used for women undergoing medical treatment that threatened their future fertility.

As lifestyles have changed the procedure is now also being used by women who aren’t ready to have children immediately. You may find that egg freezing removes some of the pressure that surrounds important life choices and in turn helps to make you more fertility aware.

Egg freezing has the potential to give you the best possible chance of starting a family in the years ahead.

Egg Freezing involves two stages

Ovarian Stimulation

Ovarian Stimulation

Egg Retrieval & Freezing

1. Ovarian Stimulation & Monitoring

1. Ovarian Stimulation & Monitoring

Under the care of our team, a woman is given fertility medications, mainly in the form of injections to stimulate her ovaries to produce multiple follicles. Follicles are the small fluid filled structures within the ovaries, each of which will hopefully contain an egg.

The number and size of the developing follicles is measured by trans-vaginal ultrasound scans. The exact number of follicles which develop varies greatly between patients. One of the purposes of testing is to give you and us an idea in advance of how many follicles and eggs may develop.

The final preparation for egg retrieval involves a hormone injection which mimics the natural trigger for ovulation. Egg retrieval will take place 36 hours after this injection.


Ovarian Stimulation & Monitoring

1. Egg Retrieval & Freezing

1. Egg Retrieval & Freezing

Egg retrieval is a minor theatre procedure which is carried out in the clinic under sedation.

A trans-vaginal ultrasound probe is used and a needle attached to the probe is carefully passed through the vaginal wall into the ovaries and follicles.

The ovarian fluid within each follicle is aspirated and then examined in the IVF laboratory by the embryologist for the presence of an egg.

After identification, the eggs are vitrified (fast frozen) and stored in liquid nitrogen tanks at very low temperatures.

Egg Freezing
FAQs

Women who, for whatever reason, want to defer starting their families until a time when age may become more of a factor in determining success can consider egg freezing. We know that women in Ireland are starting their families at a later age, about 32. This unfortunately means that a higher proportion of women and couples will need assistance. At Thérapie fertility we really want all women to be fertility aware. This means getting checked and learning what YOUR fertility potential is, earlier rather than later. This will allow you to make an informed choice about whether egg freezing may be a suitable avenue for you to take. 

Every month a woman recruits a number of follicles and eggs but only one or two grow to maturity and are released. The rest are lost. The purpose of the stimulation medications is to capture eggs that were going to be lost that month anyway. So we can reassure you that by stimulating your ovaries and freezing your eggs we are not compromising your future fertility. 

One of the key factors influencing a woman’s reproductive ability is age. As women age the number and quality of their eggs falls (the same is also true of men and their sperm!). By freezing eggs at a younger age, ideally under 34 years old, you preserve those eggs and prevent their natural decline as you get older. You may never end up needing or using your frozen eggs. In fact, when it comes time for you to have children we would recommend using more natural methods first. But many find that having eggs frozen removes some of the pressure that surrounds important life choices and in turn helps to make them more fertility aware. And it gives a potential alternative route to your family in the event that you find yourself struggling to conceive. In short, knowing that you have your eggs frozen may actually assist you in conceiving naturally.

I can't thank Thérapie Fertility enough for their care, honesty and compassion. My first consultation was with Nurse Lucie and then with Dr. John Kennedy. I felt at ease from the moment I met them. John was honest and open and so knowledgeable. I had so many Q's as IVF/ICSI was alien to me. We decided then and there to proceed and our ICSI journey began. From initial tests, to scans the care the staff give is amazing they're all so friendly and really helpful. Always at the end of a text on the patient portal if you had any questions. Fast forward to transfer day, I was so nervous but Dr. John Kennedy and Carol were brilliant. Talked me through every step and the procedure so was quick and pain free. A few weeks later I got a call from John with the most amazing news and today I'm 22 weeks pregnant. Can't wait for August for our new arrival and to introduce him/her to all the team. You guys are amazing at what you do and I'm so thankful for everything you did for me.

How do you go about reviewing a clinic that changed the course of your life so profoundly? It's hard to condense our experience with Therapie. We had an initial consultation with another well known clinic, we absolutely didn't "vibe" with the clinic. Then we got in touch with Therapie. You're not treated at arms length with Therapie, you're all on the same team. The world of infertility is already hard enough, the staff in TF are so kind, it's a very humbling experience to go through this process and they are with you every step of the way. We met Dr Kennedy once for our consultation, then again for retrieval and embryo transfer and met Dr Mengat once for a hycosy, they're wonderful but it's all the nurses and assistants you meet on every visit that you see face to face and words can't describe how amazing they all are. Results are as follows: age 34, amh 11.6 pmol, retrieved 7 mature eggs, 5 fertilised, 2 made it to frozen on day 6. The first transfer is sitting beside me here at 6 months. Thank you is not enough.

I had my egg freezing in November. The two ultrasounds I had were quite uncomfortable but my nurse lucie was unbelievably patient with me and gave me plenty of time and space to relax. Lucie looked like she was willing to try another 50 times if needed, and she never once came across as frustrated with me. I was very nervous on the day of retrieval , once I let the nurses know, they were extra good to me. Thank you to Lucie and all the team. Dr John and his nurses were great on the day, cannula was inserted in seconds and I was out. The highlight of the day was in recovery after the egg collection I woke up to 3 or 4 lotus biscuits, followed by dr John coming out to deliver the good results. Thank you, see you in the future !

I cannot thank Therapie Fertility Carrickmines enough. From the very beginning they were so welcoming, professional, reassuring and friendly. I felt very comfortable and at ease at every appointment. It was great having the satellite clinic in Dundalk also. The staff are all amazing. I have and will always recommend Therapie Fertility Carrickmines to anyone who may need them.

So happy with Therapie. From the first nurse consultation all the way through to the pregnancy scan, we were so comfortable with all the staff we met. The minute we met Dr Kennedy we knew he was the doctor for us and that Therapie was the clinic for us. He was so nice, so informative and to the point with us. I was excited leaving the dr consultation appointment. Another thing we liked was how quick the process was. I have friends attending other clinics and they are waiting months for appointments. We also felt very supported with the contact on the portal from the nurses. Any questions we had were answered so quickly. We had ICSI and were lucky to get pregnant with the first embryo transfer. We now have a gorgeous baby boy. We will be returning to the clinic in the future to use our other embryos. I can’t speak highly enough about how great this clinic is! Thank you

My journey with Therapie Fertility has been an amazing one, from the very start I was well informed, understood every part of the process and felt Dr Kennedy and the team had my best interests at heart. I started my journey as an older smbc with a history of unsuccessful pregnancies. When I met with Dr Kennedy he worked out my success rate (which was low) and the best way for me to have successful pregnancy in as quick a timeframe that I was comfortable with, this open, honest & personal approach to my circumstance was key for me and as I write this I am cuddling my 8 week old baby 💖 Working with the team feels like being part of a family where everyone is behind you and the support has been amazing, for anyone embarking on the fertility journey I cannot recommend Therapie Fertility enough, they have given me my happily ever after 💖

They explain everything so well, respond to emails promptly and allow you the time to come to terms with all the information they have given you- they are in no rush to get you out the door when the tears keep flowing which makes it all so much more bearable. Cannot fault them
