  • 7. The Dating Dilemma...
    Dec 7 2022

    In today's episode, I'm going on a bit of a tangent and sharing my reflections on the dating dilemma...

    Deciding to freeze your eggs is a huge decision, but it's not isolated from other dynamics and situations going on in your life. So how does egg freezing impact your dating life, when is the right time to tell a potential date that you've frozen your eggs and at what point do you ask them their views on having children?

    ITS. A. MINEFIELD. Especially because you've taken the courageous move to freeze your eggs, which is something that is financially, physically and emotionally taxing. So it's likely you REALLY would like a baby one day... but there's nothing more certain than that adding a whole load of pressure on to your dating life!

    I don't have all the answers, but I hope this gives you some reassurance that you're not alone with these dilemmas...

    Good luck!!

  • 6. My first egg freezing cycle... a long cycle
    Nov 30 2022

    In today's episode, I share with you the details of my first egg freezing cycle.

    I share the details of the cycle; what it means to have a 'long' cycle (as opposed to my second cycle which was a 'short' cycle), the medication I took, the scans and how my follicles grew and, finally, the outcome of cycle 1.

    I hope you find this a useful insight into the realities and practicalities of a long egg freezing cycle.

    Please remember, I'm no medic, so please ensure you take a medical professional's opinion if you're unsure.
