Elective egg freezing is not a service provided by the National Health Service and information is therefore is not included on the NHS website. The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA), as the United Kingdom-wide regulator of fertility treatment, publishes advice about egg freezing on its website in an online-only format, including information about the process, risks, success and data on this. There is a link through to the HFEA website from the NHS webpages on infertility.
