How are you thinking about the increased growth of egg freezing? Is this something that is going to tell more women to freeze their eggs? From what I'm told by doctor family members, it's expensive and not necessarily a guarantee.

I believe egg freezing is not the right decision for everyone. It is not a guarantee/ insurance policy, but it does help with the odds. We (women) should be understanding our bodies as a first step and hormone levels combined with other factors (finances, emotional state, family planning goals etc) should be included in the decision to freeze or not to freeze. We started Modern Fertility to help women navigate these decisions.

The actual number of babies that have been born worldwide from frozen eggs is only around 2,000, and most of those were done either to prove out the concept or else due to some specific medical condition (e.g. about to get chemo). Despite the fact that you read about it in the news all the time and it feels like everyone is doing it, the number of babies born to women who decided to just pre-emptively freeze their eggs is probably only a couple hundred, accounting for literally 0.00% of babies born each year.

Nonsense. Where are you getting your stats from?
