I froze my eggs at 34 — every woman should be given this opportunity in their early 20s

National Women's Health Survey 2025: Single ladies and those who want to delay motherhood can now pay to freeze their eggs

Tara Logan Buckley: “I got absolutely no education on fertility when I was young, I got nothing in school or college. I come from a clinical psychology background, where there is a lot of science. I didn’t know the number of eggs dramatically declines after 30.”

A third of women would consider freezing their eggs, they said in the Irish Examiner National Women’s Health Survey, conducted by Ipsos B&A.

Egg freezing used to be an option provided to women who, for medical reasons — such as cancer treatment or a family history of early menopause — faced risks to their fertility and to ensure the capacity to conceive.
