Is Freezing Your Eggs The Solution to Delaying Motherhood?

Twenty years ago, being a mom in your 20’s was the normal. Not anymore. As women prioritize their careers and pursuing their dreams, motherhood is being pushed for another decade. However, that comes with a risk; infertility. That’s why freezing your eggs has become a very popular alternative, but is it really effective?

Freezing the eggs started as a precaution to preserve fertility when facing health concerns such as chemo or genetic predisposition to premature infertility. But nowadays women are doing it as a way of prolonging their fertility window defying the ‘ticking clock.’ But that gives a false guarantee that you will become a mother one day when in reality there are never guarantees since many other factors take place. For instance, when becoming a mother after 40, is not just your egg quality that matters, but your hormones, the state of your uterus (you might have developed endometriosis for instance) and many other factors.

Ultimately, it is a very personal decision. Our girls from Get it Girl share their opinions and if they would do it or not. Check it out!
