Now, how long can they be frozen and is the egg quality compromised at all?

Yeah.

Women Road Warriors

Women Road Warriors
Why Fertility Isn’t Fair to Women

I remember seeing a picture of her holding me, and she looked so exhausted, you know.

Women Road Warriors
Why Fertility Isn’t Fair to Women

Yeah.

Women Road Warriors
Why Fertility Isn’t Fair to Women

And I think she was, you know.

Women Road Warriors

It would be really tough.
