Sarah Norcross, Director of PET, has been speaking to the media about the increase in women freezing their eggs.
A new report from the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) showed that the number of egg-freezing cycles taking place in UK fertility clinics rose 64 percent between 2019 and 2021.
'The dramatic rise in the number of egg-freezing cycles could be linked to the pandemic. Restrictions on socialising may have prompted some women to think more about their fertile window and decide to try to increase their reproductive choices,' Norcross told the Guardian.
