About this listen

Hi, welcome to Dounii Talks! Today, we’re joined by Annie for a raw and insightful conversation about navigating fertility in an unpredictable world. Annie walks us through her decision to freeze her eggs after being laid off, what it meant to take control of her timeline, and the unexpected emotional and ethical complexities that followed. We talk about everything from hormone injections and the disconnect she felt from her body, to the heavy realities of legal paperwork and genetic testing—and what it’s like to discover you and your partner are both carriers for the same condition. This episode is all about the real side of egg freezing—the fear, the freedom, and the weight of planning for a future that isn’t guaranteed. It’s honest, eye-opening, and a must-listen for anyone navigating their own reproductive choices.
