Separate collection and freezing from storage and the later cost of using eggs.
What should you budget for?
Guy’s Hospital Assisted Conception Unit lists a fee of £3,900 for egg collection and freezing package.
This is one provider’s published example, so it is not a local market average. Price unit: one egg-freezing cycle. The full bill depends on the package and your care plan.
Sample checked 10 September 2026. 6 fee records from 2 providers on this page. See the fee and its source.
An egg-freezing price may cover collection but not every medicine or year of storage. Thawing, fertilisation and embryo transfer are later services with their own costs. Freezing does not guarantee a future pregnancy.
FUNDING ROUTE
Understand the NHS route
NHS fertility funding depends on local commissioning criteria and individual eligibility. Ask the referring team what is funded, how a cycle is defined and whether previous private treatment affects the local criteria. Medical fertility preservation and elective egg freezing can follow different funding routes.

Ask each provider the same questions and keep the written plan, its issue date and its expiry date.
1
Before booking
Before booking, ask who will assess suitability, which existing records are useful and what the appointment or admission involves. Agree the follow-up and contact arrangements, including travel or support at home. Follow the treating team’s individual preparation instructions.
2
Before agreeing to pay
Ask for the exact service, clinician, location, dates and inclusions in writing. Check deposits, payment deadlines and what happens if the treatment plan changes. Keep clinical suitability separate from how the care will be funded.
3
After the appointment or treatment
Confirm who explains results, manages follow-up and provides a contact if you have concerns. Include repeat visits, medicines, travel and support at home in your plan where relevant. Ask who is responsible for arranging any next step.
Choose how to pay with the full picture
NHS or public funding
Eligibility, clinical assessment and local arrangements determine the route. Dental charges and social-care funding follow their own rules. Confirm funding before agreeing to private treatment.
For self-pay, request an itemised total, deposit and cancellation terms. For insurance, confirm authorisation, clinician and hospital recognition, excess and any benefit limits before booking. Recognition alone does not confirm your policy covers the treatment.
If finance is offered, compare the total repayable, interest, fees and repayment period against paying directly. A monthly figure is not the treatment’s total cost. Keep NHS and private follow-up arrangements clear with the clinicians involved.
Check the provider and the next step
A fee does not establish clinical suitability, appointment availability or treatment quality. Review the service’s published evidence and practical arrangements as well.
Waiting-list statistics describe published records for a service or organisation. They do not predict your appointment date or the wait for the particular operation in this guide.
Questions about egg freezing costs
Does the advertised fee cover the whole plan?
Check the exact package with the provider. Medicines and collection cycle, Included storage period and renewal fees, Future thawing, fertilisation and transfer can affect the comparison. The price examples above retain the source’s unit and price basis; an unlisted inclusion has not been assumed to be free.
Can I use the NHS instead?
NHS fertility funding depends on local commissioning criteria and individual eligibility. Ask the referring team what is funded, how a cycle is defined and whether previous private treatment affects the local criteria. Medical fertility preservation and elective egg freezing can follow different funding routes. Check the official route.
Is the lowest price the best option?
Price alone cannot answer that. Discuss appropriate options with a qualified professional, then compare the same scope of care, relevant provider evidence, access arrangements and the full aftercare plan.
What if there is no published fee near me?
Ask a provider for a written quote using this guide’s checklist. Other towns’ prices and group-wide offers are examples, not local quotations. A local page can contain one verified provider’s fee: its coverage is stated clearly. Where available, we link to separately labelled prices in nearby places.
Checked 10 September 2026. We select public factual fee examples from providers’ own pages. There is no paid placement and we do not calculate market averages from this selection. A provider-group fee is labelled as such; it is not copied into every local area.
Price amounts are withheld when their source has not been checked within 90 days. The original source date stays visible and is not refreshed just because the website is rebuilt. A checked fee can still change: request a current written quote.
