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*
