Description
In this episode, Dr. Danielle answers a question about why healthy women in their early 30s choose to freeze their eggs. She discusses the trend of delaying parenthood and the availability of IVF as contributing factors. The influence of social media and the openness of women sharing their fertility journeys also play a role. Dr. Danielle explains that women freeze their eggs as an insurance policy or backup plan for future family planning. She emphasizes that egg freezing is not a guarantee of pregnancy and discusses the number of eggs needed for a higher chance of success. Dr. Danielle highlights the decline in fertility with age and the benefits of using younger, healthier eggs through egg freezing. She concludes by recommending egg quality support before undergoing the process.
