This week, your hosts sit down with one of the most knowledgeable fertility nurses out there, Bachelor Nation alumna Whitney Bischoff Angel, who specializes in fertility preservation at Ova Egg Freezing in Chicago! She discusses how she got into fertility as it's not something they touched on in nursing school, the top questions she gets asked, and walks us through a day in the life as a fertility nurse. Danielle also opens up about her experience going through the full panel of testing. Whitney discusses the egg harvesting process, including what exactly that is, what you need to know to be prepared, and what happens during the actual day of retrieval. She also shares some important questions you can ask when advocating for yourself and finding the right place for you. Whitney believes that education and management of expectations with egg freezing is key, so whether you’re a nurse looking for exciting opportunities outside of the hospital or someone interested in freezing your eggs, we hope you come away from this conversation with some newfound insight!
