Talk to me about egg freezing.
What is it?
I love egg freezing as an opportunity for women to invest in themselves and their future.
It is not an insurance plan for their fertility.
And that's an important distinction.
What does that mean?
So an insurance plan is always going to pay off, right?
You wreck your car, car insurance is going to kick in and cover you.
If you invest in the stock market, you think it's a good idea, but the ROI on that investment depends on when you pull your money out and things that you don't know yet.
And that's what egg freezing is.
A smart thing to do, but we have to understand that there's risk involved and we don't know the return on that investment till later.
In its simplest form, egg freezing is trying to get one month's group of eggs all to grow.
Take them out of the body.
What egg freezing is not is tapping into the vault.
When the field advances and we can tap into the vault, it will change fertility science forever.
It'll be coming.
When we can mature immature eggs in the lab completely, we will have a dramatically different outcome for older women who are trying to get pregnant.
Because one of the things that's hard for us is that as you get older, if you only have five eggs coming out of the vault, I can only get five eggs in that month.
In that cycle.
And then the next month I can do another cycle, hopefully get another group of five.
