Why freeze eggs?
Egg freezing has become more popular and accessible in recent years.
Some of the reasons why women freeze their eggs include (1-3):
- Wanting more time to find a partner, or for a relationship to develop before starting a family.
- Wanting a back-up plan (or ‘Plan B’) in case they are unable to become pregnant naturally or have more than one child in the future.
- Wanting to take the pressure off themselves.
- Not feeling financially or emotionally ready to start a family.
- Wanting more time to think about having a family.
- Feeling they may regret not freezing their eggs in the future.
