Experts are warning women that freezing their eggs is not an insurance policy as fertility clinics report a spike in egg freezing.
Advances in technology have seen a huge increase in women paying around $10,000 to keep their dreams of motherhood alive.
"Last year we saw around 50 women freeze their eggs and the year before that was half that number," Fertility associates chair, Mary Birdsall told 1NEWS.
Repromed's Medical Director, Guy Gudex says the primary reason women are choosing this option is that they're not in a relationship, are concerned about their age and feel that they're ready to have children.
Freezing and storing women's egg isn't cheap with many women forking out $10,000 plus annual storage fees.
The chances of becoming pregnant using fertility treatment are not 100 per cent and there is concern that women are relying too heavily on their stored eggs.
However, it's becoming more common with companies like Google and Facebook offering to pay to freeze their employee's eggs so they don't have to freeze their careers.
Clinics in New Zealand say they would feel uncomfortable offering companies that service.
