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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
We started our journey here in Therapie and have nothing but excellent experience. The entire process was very seamless. Youre set up with their portal where you communicate with the clinic and have all documents and appointments saved. The clinic is very professional and very responsive. They did everything they could to help us to get the best outcome with being very empathetic as it was an emotional journey. The staff is so supportive and knowledgeable. We felt like every conflation we were heard and could ask as many questions to make sure we understood the process. We’re blessed to have our little baby girl now as a result of the treatment 💖 thank you Therapie for the outstanding support!
Therapie has helped us as a family to gain the biggest miracle we never thought would happen, after so many set backs and years of infertility, we met with the nurse in December 2024, flew over from Liverpool in April for our first meeting with the doctor then it was all go go go from there! The clinic itself is amazing, we were in awe the minute we arrived, everyone at therapie were friendly and welcoming, every question and worry I had was answered with so much understanding which made the whole process so much easier, we were able to put all of our trust in them with our future. We had our first frozen transfer in August 2025 and found out we were pregnant! Throughout the pregnancy, therapie asked for updates and generally cared even after their job was done which was a lovely gesture as, now our baby boy is here and we are still in contact with therapie giving updates and following their social media where they are actively involved with their families still which is so lovely to see! We can’t thank therapie enough and can’t wait to go back for our next miracle in a few years 💜
After a significant expenditure and a rather unfavorable experience at Waterstone Clinic, I made the decision to transfer to Thérapie, which proved to be an excellent choice. The clinic itself is aesthetically pleasing and impeccably maintained, and the staff members are exceptionally friendly and highly professional. I was 41 years old when I underwent IVF and successfully conceived on my very first attempt. I will always be profoundly grateful to the entire staff. My beautiful daughter is now six months old. Thank you so much guys especially Dr. Nosheen Iram who performed successful egg collection and transfer ❤️
I had the most attentive and amazing experience with Thérapie Fertility from the moment I walked in for my consultation. It was incredibly informative, and I felt genuinely listened to throughout the entire process. The team made me feel reassured, comfortable, and truly like a VIP from start to finish. The procedure itself was smooth, and my recovery was even better than expected. I was back to feeling like myself within 24 hours. I’m so grateful to the entire team, especially the nurses, Dr. John, and Dr. Megat, for their care, professionalism, and support.
We started our journey with Thérapie in January 2024, after so many years of struggle and being let down by the NHS. We were terrified to reach out to a private clinic, but from the moment we met Amy at Dundalk clinic, we knew we made the right choice. It was the single most important and best choice we ever made. They treated us with so much consideration, compassion and support, and they genuinely care with every step in the journey. Even after our successful and our beautiful rainbow baby was born, they kept updated and wanted to hear how he was doing, how we are coping as new parents, and they just make us feel so safe and at ease. Another big factor in going with thérapie was their instagram. They post a lot of advise and information about their process (a lot of things you’d like to know to answer your questions) they continuously engage with all the parents they’ve helped, they do a lot of live q&as, they do fun themes such as making stories to add your baby pictures during Halloween, st paddies day, Christmas etc, I mean they’re all just unbelievable. You’ll never feel like a client but more meeting friends you’ve yet to meet! Yes, that was cheesy lol but yes I highly recommend you begin your journey and grow your family with thérapy!
The staff were and still are very supportive, understanding, and communicative during a difficult time.
We cannot recommend Thérapie Fertility enough. Our baby boy is now 6 months old through ICSI thanks to Thérapie which is something we once thought we would never have🩵 we recieved excellent care from start to finish. Absolutely everyone on the team is so kind and welcoming, which made us feel so cared for. We couldnt have asked for a better clinic. We highly recommended!
I froze embryos with Therapie Fertility earlier this year due to a complex medical history that may lead me to have difficulty conceiving in the future. Many clinics don’t allow patients with higher BMIs have treatment as they tend to have lower success rates, but Dr Kennedy instead had an open and transparent conversation with me about how my BMI could affect treatment, but ultimately allowed me to make my own decision about the risk involved. I appreciate that they understand how fertility can be a time sensitive issue and BMI is a long term and difficult battle. I did in the end have 2 cancelled cycles (risk of this was fully disclosed in our consultation) but on our 3rd attempt we had more success than we could have ever hoped for. We collected 19 eggs, 18 were mature, 17 fertilised and we now have 11 high grade embryos in storage when the right time comes. We are so elated with our result, although it was an emotionally taxing process and we worried after the second cancelled cycle that we may have no luck, but it was all worth it in the end and I am so glad I trusted the judgement of the team. Every single staff member was so friendly and supportive from day 1, it is evident they are a close-knit team and they always have smiles on their faces. It really does take a village and I felt as though I had my own little village in Therapie. I was very nervous on egg collection day but Ciara M, Aoife T, Hannah T and Katie K were so supportive and calming. Thank you to Dr Megat for performing my egg collection (thankfully I don’t remember a thing). Thank you to the lab team - Mariana, Orla, Andreea, Carolina, Isa and Carol. Thank you to my scanning nurses - Lucie, Becky and Aoife T and the other nurses helping me through the portal Niamh O, Aisling S, Lauren M, Jenny O, Amy W, and Lauren F. I know I’m probably forgetting a few, there are so many hard workers to appreciate, also on the coordinator team - reception and on the phones and portal. I can’t wait to see what the future holds but for now I have my little embryos chilled in the lab 💜
