Women in their 20s and 30s should be discouraged from freezing their eggs simply to allow them to pursue a career before having children, scientists are recommending.

The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and the British Fertility Society say it is wrong that young women undergo the £5,000 procedure ‘for lifestyle reasons’.

They warn women could be risking their chances of having a baby by relying on treatment that has a very low success rate.
