In the realm of fertility, the inequality between men and women has long been ingrained. A woman's supply of eggs is finite, akin to a bunch of grapes that gradually diminishes each month until it disappears entirely in her forties or fifties. In contrast, men have about 200 million sperm at the age of 70, and even if 99% of them are of poor quality, IVF-PGT technology can easily select the top 1% of high-quality sperm.

 

In this unequal context, women seem destined to endure fertility anxiety. In this backdrop, egg freezing has become an option for women. Freezing eggs is like hitting the pause button on fertility, allowing women to overcome time and aging, reclaim autonomy in their lives, and even ascend as a symbol of gender equality. Through in-depth conversations with a woman who froze her eggs, we explored the motivations behind egg freezing and the profound significance of this choice for life.

 

This woman shared her experience of egg freezing, giving us insights into why she made this significant decision. She had envisioned having a stress-free job, a supportive husband, and, most importantly, a lovely baby by the time she turned 30. However, during busy work trips to New York, she began to feel that this life was slipping further away from her grasp.

 

A seven-year relationship added to her mounting pressure, and her grandmother openly mentioned her unmarried status during family gatherings, pushing her into the category of middle-aged unmarried women. Despite her boyfriend's reluctance to marry due to career reasons, she felt hopeless, fearing she might not be able to marry and have children for several more years. It wasn't until a friend reminded her that if she truly wanted children, egg freezing was a viable option.

 

After researching, she found that egg freezing was not a complicated process. She chose IVF USA and underwent a series of procedures, including blood tests, urine tests, and ultrasound examinations. Based on the development and quantity of her follicles, the doctors stimulated her follicles with hormones. The entire process took only about 12 days, and she opted for a one-time payment for a 10-year premium.

 

Egg freezing gave her the belief that even at an older age, she could still have her own child. This confidence allowed her to dare to try many things she had never dared to before, such as visiting ancient trees in Ali Mountain on her 30th birthday. Her mindset changed drastically at that moment, and she felt young again, comparing herself with everything around her in terms of age, experiencing a happiness that was unforgettable.

 

More unexpectedly, she had the courage to break up with her boyfriend. After freezing her eggs, she found that marriage and childbirth were no longer necessarily intertwined. This year, when her boyfriend proposed to work elsewhere, she re-evaluated their relationship. In the past, she couldn't imagine feeling so anxious about breaking up at 30; she might have settled, even pressured him into marriage. But egg freezing seemed to pause time, and marriage was no longer about hastily meeting the optimal fertility age. She had more time, giving herself 5 to 10 years of space and giving the other person enough time. Recently, she started dating a 38-year-old man and unexpectedly found herself still attractive.
