In the second instalment of my solo podcast series where I am diving into the key topics that have positivity impacted my thirties, I am sharing my personal journey of freezing my eggs at the age of 35.

After an unexpected break-up at age 33, I started to explore the option of freezing my eggs as an insurance policy for the future.

Six months ago, I went through one round of egg-freezing and in this episode I am answering the most common questions I have received about it.

Questions that I answer include:

How I went from considering it to actually going through with it

How much it costs

The ideal age to freeze eggs

Where to start once I decided to go ahead

How to prepare your body before

Details of the process itself

How the hormones affected me

The egg-retrieval itself

How I felt afterwards

If I shared with men I was dating

I am such an advocate for sharing knowledge about female fertility and I have used this episode as an opportunity to give a true insight into what it’s really like.

I also invite you to check out my journey at my private egg-freezing IG account @emmaseggs, where I documented in real-time.

DISCLAIMER: I am not a medical professional and any of the medical  information shared in this episode is a culmination of my personal research, personalized information from my own healthcare professionals and my own experience freezing my eggs.

I am not a fertility doctor and if you have further questions or want tailored medical advice, I recommend taking this up with your own healthcare provider
