freezing my eggs, for the second time
freezing my eggs, again
If I’m being honest, I never thought I’d be freezing my eggs again. but here I am, because knowledge is power and options are everything. in today’s world, women are having children later, and that should be celebrated. there was a time when that wasn’t even possible.
why I chose to freeze my eggs twice
the first time I froze my eggs, I knew I was making an investment in my future. the second time, I knew I was doubling down on what I know I want in the future.
when I first started looking into egg freezing, it felt overwhelming. there were so many questions and unknowns, but the more I learned, the more I realized: knowledge is power and options are everything.
egg freezing isn’t just about having a backup plan; it’s about taking control. for me, taking control meant doing another round, not out of fear but to maximize my chances and build the future I want.
the process: first vs. second time
the first time I went through the process, I didn’t know what to expect. I leaned heavily on my doctor and the team at Spring Fertility to guide me. they went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. I’ll never forget FaceTiming a nurse my first night of shots because I was terrified I was doing it wrong.
the second time was different. I felt more confident and more prepared. I knew what to expect, and that made all the difference. my first round gave me peace of mind, while my second round gave me even greater flexibility for my future.
this time, I did some things differently:
- acupuncture became part of my routine.
- NAD IV therapy helped my body recover.
- I completely cut out alcohol, not because I had to but because I wanted to support my body.
- I prioritized rest. during those two weeks, your body is working overtime to grow extra follicles while handling a surge of hormones. it needs extra recovery time.
why I chose spring fertility
from my very first consultation, Spring Fertility provided clarity and reassurance, helping me navigate both rounds with confidence. their science is cutting-edge, their care is personalized, and their approach is rooted in compassion.
I wasn’t just another patient. I was an individual with unique goals, and they treated me that way.
navigating doubts & taking control
I will never forget sitting with Dr. Catha Fischer and breaking down about doing it again. I had feelings of self-doubt, anxiety, stress, and sadness. how was I here again?
the first time I froze my eggs, it was an insurance policy. this time, it was different. do I leave the chances of having multiple children up to the universe, or do I take charge?
Dr. Fischer helped me realize I had the power to decide. she laid out the facts, the percentages based on my last cycle, and put together a plan. that was the boost I needed to go for what I wanted, because I knew I would have regretted it if I didn’t.
eggs don’t equal babies
unfortunately, as we age, our egg quality declines. what many people don’t realize is that eggs don’t equal babies. you need quite a few eggs to make just one viable embryo. so, of course, having more eggs can lead to greater success.
no perfect time, just the right time for you
freezing my eggs twice wasn’t just a medical decision; it was a deeply personal one. it was about taking charge of my future and giving myself the freedom to make choices on my own timeline.
so, if you’ve ever considered egg freezing, don’t wait for the “perfect” moment. the best time to learn about your options is now. schedule a consultation, ask every question you have, and take the first step.
the sacrifices we make for our children begin before they are born. I didn’t fully realize this until I started this process. I sacrificed my body and my schedule, overcame my fears, and tested my inner strength, all for the future family I want to create.and I would do it again.
your future self will thank you.
