Ice, Ice, Baby... Maybe?
A podcast for women who are wanting to protect their fertility, in the best way they can, and are exploring the possibility of freezing their eggs. This is my story of freezing my eggs, at 37, following divorce. It's a raw, emotional and open journey of how it feels to go through the process of egg freezing. Its my emotional journey behind the facts and practicalities.This podcast is for you if you are exploring your options to protect your future fertility because you want to give yourself the best possible chance of a baby someday, but (for whatever reason) you feel like you need to take a choice now to keep your options as open as possible.I hope this helps you feel less alone and better armed to make this important, potentially life changing decision.*Please note, I'm not a medic so please do seek a medical professional's input*

Episode 2
Deciding to freeze your eggs is a HUGE decision. I would say that the decision making part of the process is the biggest and most complicated bit of the whole thing, so it takes some serious thought.
There are so many things to consider from:
- When to do it (its a fine balance...)
- What bits of information you might want to find out about your fertility to help you decide (it's a minefield, but once you have the info it's so much easier!)
- How you might feel with any given outcome (there are no guarantees after all)
- How to finance it (gulp...)
- Preparing yourself emotionally, physically and practically
In this episode, I share my reflections on the decision making process and how I went about it, plus the reality of how that played out as I embarked on my journey.
Please like, follow and share the podcast so that other women like you and like me can feel less alone as they consider the potentially life changing decision of freezing their eggs.
