Egg freezing is a topic that is being talked about more often recently, as more couples are choosing to have children later in life, more women are recognizing how their age plays a role in their fertility, and more companies are choosing to offer egg freezing as a fertility benefit to their employees.
In today’s episode, we hear from Laura Perez, a Progyny employee who shares her personal experience with egg freezing. When Laura turned 35, she felt like she was running out of time. She was in a long-term relationship, but her partner already had children from a previous marriage and indicated that he didn’t want to have any more kids. So, Laura took things into her own hands and froze her eggs.
For Laura, freezing her eggs was an empowering process that gave her peace of mind, and even helped change the nature of her relationship. Shortly after she froze her eggs, Laura’s boyfriend proposed, and they are planning to try to extend their family in the near future.
