I froze my eggs and it wasn’t what I expected

[@brookesosa5032]

Thank you so much for sharing your journey and normalizing this process. My baby was conceived via IFV and I had no idea what a roller coaster it was prior to starting. The current political climate is a scary one. I really hope fertility treatments can be protected. ❤

Thank you for welcoming us in to such an intimate part of your family planning journey. I’d be curious for a follow up video that dives into the landscape of egg freezing, health insurance, and access.

[@dt8762]

The price of eggs is ridiculous.

[@DoubleGoat9Cap-Gem-Sag]

LOVE IT! 🤣

[@masonstarship56]

25 because she got help and money and health insurance not everyone is lucky like this

[@rigagrubis8851]

Thanks for making this video! These comments are full of pathetic examples of why many women don’t want to get married anymore.

[@Califah45]

Very informative. I am proud of your journey. Thank U for sharing your incredible journey.

I’m curious about when you wait until your mid 40s to have children and combine the cost of childcare, cost additional housing for a growing family, cost of college, saving for retirement and having an enjoyable lifestyle and vacations. You have to have wealth to begin this journey. Where’s the story how do you plan and pull off this new American dream?

[@KS-cl8br]

You can invest a lot by 35 38 40 or 45. Look at coast fire. If you have enough you can stop full time work and move to part time. You snd husband or just you have time to travel before you have kids. Also what if you meet your husband at late 30s or early 40s. It helps to have the eggs.

[@waterbug1135]

The game is different for men and women. It costs about $300k to raise a kid to age 18. Instead of having a kid when 20 a man can put that $16k/yr into an S&P 500 index fund for 18 years. At age 45 that man can expect to have about $1.4 million. He can then retire on that and move to another country (many to choose from) where women still want to be traditional mothers and eager to get with American men. Have kids there where it's much cheaper and his kids are 100% American on day one with all those benefits. And in these other countries a US man can find a much more attractive, more intelligent, younger woman than he can hope to find in the US without being 6'++++. And a full time live-in nanny costs $75-200/mo USD plus food so he can travel with his wife alone or with the kids and nanny. Having a kid for a man in the US is expensive in money and heartbreak because the chances of losing kids in divorce is 50-50.

[@bernob9770]

This is very expensive approach.

[@lillianurena9591]

Thank you for this. I needed it ❤

[@malama_ka_aina]

I respect this option, but every time I've ever thawed anything I feel as if it was never quite like it would have been had I just taken it fresh. Very simplistic, I understand, but I feel this should only be an option for those who really need it, not young people who are having the procedure covered by their job as a "convenient" fall back option.

[@Jada_RE]

The comments here freaky. Just say you hate women having options and keep it moving 🤷‍♀️

[@waterbug1135]

Taking males almost out of the process. Right on. I think I heard "empowered" 9 times. Keeping women in careers and paying taxes. This is great for men too. Plenty of sleeping around without the whole marriage, child support nightmare. Then when 45, 55, retire and move to another country, find a traditional wife and have kids there. Win-win.

[@shamoo260]

We live in a country full of weirdos

[@unkono]

Well women said they didn't need men. This is the end result.

[@JBfromFL]

OR, you could stop waiting to your late thirties or early forties to try and have children?

[@chelseafisher6881]

Goes to show you can be a professional with any name - I’ve never heard of someone called ‘Lucky’ before

[@hi-tych]

I've heard worst. 😂

[@cr0wnnoize808]

The new crave to the modern “they” as marriages go out the window 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@ivygoodwin1561]

Huh

[@Speedyskull15]

What if she has a future husband out there who wants kids. What if she makes more money than a man and doesn’t want to deal with one taking away financially from their child. If women want to be single moms by choice it’s usually because men have failed them. There’s nothing wrong with it unless you can’t afford it or passing on something serious

[@GordyThomas]

I'm both Pro-Choice & conservative, so I don't want to see women's reproductive rights restricted. I also don't want to see the human rights of frozen embryos violated. So far, the main argument for IVF has been its necessity for women having difficulty conceiving. I'm 100% behind that argument. But I fear that videos such as this will allow IVF opponents to paint most IVF patients as simply choosing to "stock up" for the future, without any medical necessity. In the case of frozen eggs, I have no objection to that practice. However, in the case of frozen human embryos, there needs to be some sort of official acknowledgement that a human life is involved when the decision to discard unused embryos is made.

[@miriamh2551]

That's where it gets tricky because not everyone (like conservative me) believes embryos are human lives because we don't necessarily believe life begins at conception.

[@princeslewis]

Men waste their reproductive cells all the time, no one says anything.

[@hi-tych]

​@@princeslewisyes they do. Are you kidding me? Men was going made fun of for years because of it. Stop that noise.

[@alexsandra6316]

This is a pro-choice for females. Females make choices over males decisions . I don't know if we are ready for this???

[@Lerian_V]

Pathetic. I hope young women see this and make a better decision for their lives instead of going down this path.

[@rhiannachadwick]

Maybe you should research this before making stupid comments, many women like me have illnesses that are detrimental to our ovarian health and have to freeze our eggs in order to have a chance to have a child

[@ishamabrown2124]

IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT IS CALLED SIN ,THIS IS IT RIGHT HERE.

[@Lerian_V]

@ishamabrown2124 Right. We all sin, but promoting evil as good and trying to normalize it... It gets me riled up. It puts me in a crusade mode tbh.

[@dorino9057]

It is not evil to simply try to prevent yourself from having issues with fertility as you get older down the line

[@Calculus1981]

We are generation 🥚 ❄️☃️..😂😂😂😅😅😅😅 so sad 😭😭😭😭.

[@ryanbloom7]

It started with Eve! Remember
