The number of egg freezing cycles performed in the UK rose by more than 400 per cent between 2010 and 2016. In my last two serious relationships, neither man felt as sure as I did that they wanted children. Of course freezing eggs as an insurance policy is not any guarantee of future motherhood. At the moment egg freezing is only as good as the IVF it ultimately depends on for a successful outcome. When that improves and legislation catches up with need, I wonder if mothers will be giving daughters egg freezing as an 18th birthday present.
