That's actually not true, but it's certainly when someone says that to you and then your parents are always talking about it, it's just something that carries on with you over the years. You're on a mission. I'm on a mission, yes.

Yeah, so I mean, on that, to your point, there's even more issues than just the thawing. There's issues of climate change. And let's say you have your ice frozen in a brownstone on the Upper East Side, or you have them in a storage facility, and then the power goes out, or there's a flood, or there's so many different things.

And I think there's been a lot of advances in terms of some people are suggesting that store your eggs in multiple places. So diversify where your eggs are stored. There are some women who are going to Europe to get this done just because it's much more affordable there. But I think here to your point, I do fundamentally believe it comes back to education.

And if you freeze your eggs earlier, the quality of the eggs will be much better. So right now, the average age women are freezing their eggs is 35. You should freeze your eggs at 25 and you shouldn't wait. And so the quality decreases basically every single year. And so that is what is affecting not just the thawing, but when you have the eggs, your success of actually creating embryos.

Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Well, and that's why the trigger shot is so important because it's actually timed to the size of the eggs. And if you have the procedure done too soon and the eggs are too small, or if you take the trigger shot too late and then the eggs are too big, all of this affects your chances of actually creating a successful embryo. And so that's part of it as well.

It is a weird thing. I remember that was always the first question after, like, how many eggs did you get? As if it's a competition. It's not a competition. It's definitely not a competition. Like, let's focus on if we had a baby. Yeah.
