Show Notes
In the past 10 years or so, young women have been told that in order to protect their fertility in the future, they should have their eggs frozen when they're in their twenties.
This directive has made some women feel anxious about whether they should make the move at such a young age - what if they do end up needing them? Or what if they don't end up needing them and went through an expensive and not so easy process of harvesting eggs when they didn't have to?
Today we look at whether egg freezing is the necessary tool in the arsenal against infertility or if we're being sold a way to make an industry a lot of money.
