Five Reasons To Freeze Your Eggs

Interview with Dr. Sony Sierra, MD, REI: The five reasons that people choose to freeze their eggs.

Transcript:

There are five reasons why you can consider freezing your eggs. One is just to give you the personal choice, the personal power to make the decision to have a baby when you’re ready to.

Second is time to find the right partner so that you don’t make a decision about a partner that has to do more with having a baby.

The third is because you have endometriosis, which is going to have a long-term impact on your fertility.

The fourth reason could be there’s a family history of early menopause, so your biological clock is ticking a lot faster than it should be.
