Egg freezing Brisbane: Your guide to preserving fertility at Eve Health
Exploring egg freezing in Brisbane? Eve Health provides supportive, expert-led fertility care, helping you understand your options with clarity, compassion, and medical precision.
Preserving your fertility, on your terms
Deciding to search for egg freezing often follows a period of reflection. Maybe you are not ready for a family right now, but want to keep your options open for the future. Perhaps you have health concerns, a family history of early menopause, or are preparing for medical treatment that could affect your fertility.
The decision to freeze your eggs is deeply personal, and it’s about giving yourself more choices, no matter what life brings.
Fertility preservation is about your story, not just science
Our team of registered fertility and women’s health practitioners provides evidence-based care that is tailored to your individual circumstances. Whether you’re exploring your options or ready to begin, we meet you where you are, with no assumptions and no pressure.
Our fertility specialists support women in planning for their future through evidence-based fertility preservation options. Your treatment is informed by clinical assessment and personal goals discussed during consultation.
There are usually several ways to move forward. IVF Brisbane might be one option, but not always the first or only one. We talk through all the fertility treatments that might suit your situation, using plain language, and give you time to ask anything. You will never be pressured or rushed to make a decision on the spot.

What to expect if you are considering egg freezing
At Eve Health, we support people from all backgrounds, identities, and walks of life.
First conversations
Everyone’s story is different. When you come to us, we begin with a conversation. What brings you here? What are you hoping for? What concerns or questions do you have? You’ll have space to talk and time to think. Nothing rushed. Nothing overlooked.
Looking at your health
Egg freezing isn’t one-size-fits-all. We’ll take a full look at your health, arrange some simple blood tests and a pelvic ultrasound, and help you understand your ovarian reserve (how many eggs you have and their likely quality). We’ll also talk through any medical factors that could affect the process or your chances.
Our role is to provide clear, evidence-based information to help you understand your fertility preservation options.
Your options
Egg freezing is just one type of fertility preservation. There are other paths, including embryo freezing and ovarian tissue preservation, which might suit certain situations. We will discuss all the available options with you, using plain English, so you can make an informed choice. We support informed decision-making at your own pace, with respect for your autonomy and individual circumstances.

Egg freezing Brisbane: what is involved
If egg freezing is the right choice for you, here is what the process usually looks like. Everyone’s experience is a bit different, but these are the main steps:
Hormone stimulation
For around 10 to 14 days, you will take daily hormone injections that help your ovaries produce more eggs than usual. We use blood tests and gentle ultrasound scans to monitor how your eggs are developing.
This part can feel intense, some days are fine, others less so. That’s why we recommend CHARLI, a secure app created by our team. CHARLI is designed to help you manage your fertility treatment schedule and plan. It does not replace medical advice.
Egg collection
When your eggs are ready, we schedule a short procedure under light anaesthetic at a nearby hospital. Using ultrasound guidance, your fertility specialist gently collects the eggs with a fine needle. Most people return home the same day. You may feel tired or sore, your specialist will discuss what to expect and monitor your recovery.
Freezing and storage
Once your eggs are collected, our laboratory team checks each one and prepares them for freezing using a rapid process called vitrification. This technology helps protect the eggs from damage and keeps them safely stored for future use. Your eggs are kept in a secure storage facility at our partner IVF clinic, with strict protocols for safety and identification.
What happens next?
Your frozen eggs can be stored for many years. When you are ready to use them, the process involves thawing the eggs, fertilising them with sperm (usually via IVF), and transferring any resulting embryos into your uterus. The timing, options, and likelihood of success are all things we will talk through with you, based on the latest evidence and your personal circumstances.
