Egg freezing Perth: Time, choice, and fertility care that centres you
Thinking about freezing your eggs? At MiFertility in Perth, we give you the expert, personal care you need to support your decision. On this page we talk about who it is for, how it is done and what the costs are.
Preserving your fertility, on your terms
Egg freezing is a huge decision and quite often a deeply personal one. You might be focusing on your career right now, or simply waiting for the right moment or person. You may want to freeze your eggs for medical reasons or a family history of early menopause.
Whatever your reason, egg freezing is about keeping your fertility options open. It gives you more time, more choice, and a little more peace of mind about the future.
At MiFertility, we always start with an open conversation. You’ll sit down with Dr Bhanu Deval, Fertility Specialist in Perth, who’ll take the time to understand your situation, your hopes, and any concerns. There’s no pressure; just honest, kind support to help you find the path that feels right.
Our focus is always on what matters most to you. Egg freezing is about giving you time, choice, and clarity.

Egg freezing process Perth
How to start egg freezing
Egg freezing is not a one-size-fits-all treatment. That’s why we take the time to deeply understand your specific reproductive health.
One of the key differences with other fertility specialists is that Dr Bhanu Deval will perform a comprehensive pelvic ultrasound right here in our Ascot clinic to assess your fertility potential-the reserve of eggs within your ovaries and any other potential factors which may impact your future fertility.
We will also ask for a simple blood test. This test checks key hormone levels, like AMH, which gives us even more information about your potential fertility.
Egg freezing Perth: what is involved
Hormone stimulation
If you decide to move forward, the first step is taking hormone medication. You will start with daily injections over 9 to 12 days. These medicines encourage your ovaries to grow more than one egg in a cycle.
At MiFertility, we use mild stimulation protocols whenever possible. This means using the lowest effective doses of hormones to optimise the number of eggs which can be collected for you, fewer side effects, and a treatment that feels more manageable. It’s especially helpful for women with a lower ovarian reserve or those sensitive to medication.
Your progress is closely monitored through blood tests and ultrasound scans. Dr Bhanu Deval personally reviews your response and adjusts your plan as needed.
Egg collection procedure
When your eggs are ready, we book a short procedure called an egg collection at Monash IVF West in Leederville. You’ll be asleep and the procedure usually takes around 30-40 minutes.
Using transvaginal ultrasound guidance, your fertility specialist carefully retrieves the eggs with a fine needle. The procedure is usually done as a day case so you can go home the same day. You might feel a little sore or tired; we kindly suggest taking it easy afterwards for 3-5 days
Freezing and storage
After your eggs are collected, our experienced team of embryologists then search for the eggs which are mature which are frozen using a method called vitrification. It’s a rapid freezing process that helps protect the eggs from damage.
Your eggs are then safely stored at Monash IVF West in a secure, monitored facility. When you’re ready in the future, they’ll be thawed and used as part of an IVF – ICSI process.

How much does egg freezing cost in Perth?
At MiFertility, we aim to keep your out-of-pocket costs as low as possible while offering high-quality, personalised care.
If you’re freezing your eggs for medical reasons, you may be eligible for Medicare rebates. Your costs could also be significantly reduced if you’ve reached the Extended Medicare Safety Net (EMSN) threshold. This means Medicare will cover a larger percentage of your ongoing out-of-hospital expenses for the rest of the calendar year.
If you’re freezing your eggs for non-medical reasons, rebates are not available, but we’ll still offer full transparency about costs and any available support. Check our Pricing page here.

Egg freezing Perth: Frequently asked questions
1. What’s the best age to freeze eggs?
Success rates are generally higher when eggs are frozen before age 35, but many women in their late 30s still have good outcomes. Its the quality of eggs which is more important than the absolute number. We’ll assess your fertility to give you realistic information.
2. Is there an upper age limit for egg freezing?
Although your chances of success are higher if you freeze eggs at a younger age, ideally less than 35. We do realize everyone’s life journey and circumstances are different, and women of advanced age, particularly more than 40 years of age, can also have success using egg freezing, although their chances of success are proportionately lower.
3. Can I use my frozen eggs years later?
Yes, frozen eggs can be stored for many years. They remain safe and viable when frozen using current technology.
4. Are there risks or side effects of egg freezing?
Side effects are usually mild and include bloating or temporary discomfort. A rare complication called ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) may occur, but it’s less likely with our mild protocols. We monitor your health closely at every step.
5. How many eggs should I freeze?
This is a very common and important question. Age is one of the main factors affecting egg quality, which means younger women may need to freeze fewer eggs compared with women of older reproductive age. Please feel free to watch Dr Bhanu Deval’s post on this topic on social media for a more detailed explanation.
While egg quality matters more than the total number, current research offers some general guidance. Women under 35 may consider freezing around 10 to 12 mature eggs to support a reasonable chance of success in the future. Freezing a higher number may improve the chance of creating embryos later.
For women over 35, a larger number is usually recommended, as egg quality can decline with age. These numbers are only a guide. Every person’s situation is different, and outcomes can vary.
6. Do I need more than 1 cycle of egg freezing to give me a good chance of success in the future?
Your egg quality does vary from cycle to cycle as each month you have a fresh batch of eggs (follicles) which grow. If you have eggs frozen from different cycles, it is likely to improve your chances of success in the future.
Based on the assessment of your individual fertility potential, after your initial consultation and scan, Dr Bhanu Deval can give you personalized advice on the best approach for you.
7. Does egg freezing guarantee that I can have a child in the future? Are there other things I should be aware of?
Whilst egg freezing is a helpful option to preserve your future fertility, it does not guarantee that you will have a child in the future. It is not considered an insurance policy, but rather a way to keep more options available as you plan ahead.
You may also become pregnant naturally and may not need to use your frozen eggs at all.
8. Can I move my frozen eggs to another clinic later?
Yes, eggs can be transferred safely between accredited clinics. At MiFertility, we can help coordinate this if needed.
