Egg freezing has come a long way in the last few years, and there are now more options than ever before for women who want to preserve their fertility. All you need is to speak to Dr Peter L Chang to learn more about your options.
However, there are still a lot of misconceptions about egg freezing that prevent many women from considering it as an option.
Here are the most common myths about egg freezing that are not true:
You have to be young to freeze your eggs
Any woman who wants to preserve her fertility can freeze her eggs. As long as you have healthy eggs and meet the other requirements for egg freezing, you can do it at any age.
A specialist will tell you if your eggs are healthy enough to be frozen.
Egg freezing is painful
Your fertility specialist at Noble Fertility Center will advise that egg freezing is not a painful procedure. The eggs are retrieved through a needle inserted into the ovaries, which can cause some discomfort. However, this can be easily managed with medication.
You have to freeze all of your eggs
You don’t have to freeze all of your eggs if you choose to freeze your eggs. Depending on your needs and goals, you can freeze as many or as few as you like.
Freezing eggs damage them
Egg freezing does not damage the eggs. Frozen eggs are just as viable as fresh eggs. You do not need to worry about the health of your eggs when you choose to freeze them.
Freezing your eggs will reduce your chances of getting pregnant later on
Freezing your eggs will not reduce your chances of getting pregnant later on. If you freeze your eggs when you are younger, your chances of getting pregnant later on will be much higher than if you wait until you are older.
You have to have a baby right away after freezing your eggs
You can wait as long as you want to have a baby after freezing your eggs. The eggs will be stored safely in the meantime, and you can use them whenever you are ready.
Egg freezing is only for women who are facing fertility problems
Egg freezing can benefit any woman who wants to preserve her fertility. Even if you are not facing fertility problems, you may still want to freeze your eggs.
There is no point in freezing your eggs if you are not planning on having children soon
Even if you are not planning on having children soon, you may still want to freeze your eggs. You may change your mind later on, and the eggs will be stored safely in the meantime.
You are too old to freeze your eggs
You are never too old to freeze your eggs. As long as you have healthy eggs and meet the other requirements for egg freezing, you can do it at any age. A fertility specialist will tell you if your eggs are healthy enough to be frozen.
If you consider egg freezing, speak to your reliable fertility specialist to learn more about your options.
