The topic of fertility (specifically egg freezing) is one that is not often openly spoken about. But for most women, we know that this is something that we’ll start thinking about especially as we inch towards our 30s.
To unpack this topic, we invited Crystal Cha, a good friend of ours (and also a returning guest on the pod, check out her first episode here) to share with us her personal experience and walk us through every step of the process.
In this episode, Crystal sheds light on: why she decided to freeze her eggs, concerns she had while doing her research, questions to ask your fertility doctor, the emotions she experienced as she went through this egg freezing, costs of the process as well as some helpful tips she’s learned so far in her journey.
Whether you’re currently a single woman, in a relationship and trying to conceive, hoping to improve your knowledge further to make informed decisions about your fertility options, or someone who wants to support your partner who’s in this journey, this is an episode you won’t want to miss!
