It’s in the news and is making a deep impact. Many companies such as Apple and Facebook have offered the chance for women to freeze their eggs by covering the cost. It’s a great company policy and takes into consideration the future of their employees.
The decision to offer egg freezing opportunities also acknowledges the gap between men and women in the workplace. That is a woman’s career is many times controlled by their biological clock while that of a man is not. This new policy gives women more reproductive choices.
Now it shouldn’t be surprising that egg freezing faces widespread wariness, much like the pill did. When the birth control pill became mainstream, it sparked a whole debate that women should not have reproductive choices, because women make bad decisions. Today, people are worried that women will wait too long or that their priorities are not in order.
Some people feel that companies should not be paying to give women more reproductive choices. Many compare it to paying for kids to come eat dinner at the office. Both options strive to keep people at work, putting career before family. There have been programs in place for a long time that keep men from going home to their family. Why is it surprising now that there are programs that keep women from doing the same?
So, this all begs the question: What type of women should take advantage of corporate-sponsored egg freezing? You really must sit down and think about what’s important in life. Do you want to start a family at some point and watch your kids grow up and find their own paths?
It is for sure that we don’t know the true meaning of life yet. But, we all can agree that we do know that relationships are more important than anything else. Watching these relationships unfold is the most enjoyable part of life. This is what life is all about. Here are some reasons to decide is egg freezing is right option for you:
This may be the top reason to freeze your eggs. It goes without saying, if you don’t have a career by the time you’re 30, then you probably don’t really want to have one. People who love working find something suitable and stable by the time they’re 30. It is because they work on finding it all in their 20s. People who travel or do art projects are fulfilled by other things besides work. Wanting more time to find a career is not a bad idea if you’re focused on it and really want to achieve something to show your future child.
It is a dream to think that you can have a baby and it won’t ruin your work life. And there’s no time when women who have stellar careers are excited about halting their career to have a baby. It may be discouraging to have to slow down a steep upward slope because of a biological clock. But keep in mind the timing will only get worse as you get further and further into your career. If you are willing to interrupt your career before you’re 35, will it be convenient for you to interrupt your career after 35?
If yes, then egg freezing is the right option for you. Until you decide you are ready; you can have your biological clock paused so you can solely focus on advancing your career without risking your future fertility.
Life doesn’t guarantee a lot to us. We never get promises from life about having enough money or marrying someone honest. However, what we get is the power to make a choice. Hence, we need to make them. The world’s divided between people who like to make a decision and people who don’t.
The people who are afraid of commitment are the ones who are most likely to put off having a baby. But ironically, those same types of people don’t generally need to protect their career carefully. Careers are not generally huge or linear for those who don’t like closure. This means that taking time off to have kids will not derail their careers. So, there is no actual reason to put off having kids. It could just be a ploy to put off making the decision. But one should remember that making decisions is what defines us and our lives.
If your career is not your primary focus, then it is also possible that you might not want kids right away or are even unsure that you will ever want them. Egg freezing provides you with a solution. If you decide to get pregnant later but find out that your eggs are not viable, it will put an end to your biological link. So, freezing your eggs while you’re still young is the best choice. It is noteworthy that most people will want to become parents at some stage.
The short answer is anyone who wants more control of their priorities and timeline. The option of freezing your eggs will allow you to focus more on your career, finding the right partner, or achieving other personal goals. For many, having a child is a huge part of why being alive feels so exciting and full of promise.
In theory, frozen eggs can be used by women at any age of her convenience. If you would like right information about egg freezing as a future fertility option, reach out to us at coastalfertility.com or call us at 949-726-0600.

Following the Preimplantation Genetic Screening process, which helps ensure there are normal chromosome numbers and detects possible genetic disorders, the most healthy embryo(s) are selected to be implanted into your or your chosen surrogate’s womb. 2 weeks after the transfer of the embryo, your physician will conduct a final blood test to determine the level of hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) in your body. Increased hCG levels usually indicate a positive pregnancy test.
For fertilization to take place, the collected egg and sperm are combined in a petri dish and cultured in an embryo incubator. This dish is closely watched to check whether any of the eggs have been fertilized. Once the egg is fertilized, it is referred to as an embryo or a blastocyst on the 5th day of development. Our in-house embryologist carefully nurtures every embryo to the right time, even if it means working outside the standard business operating hours. For instance: If an oocyte is not mature, our laboratory will wait for it to mature and then ICSI it at the right time.
The egg retrieval is a slightly invasive medical procedure that takes about 20 to 30 minutes. You will be given an anesthetic to make you sleep for the duration of the procedure. Using ultrasound technology, your doctor will harvest your eggs transvaginally with a small, hollow needle connected to an ultrasound probe. Once your eggs are collected, your partner’s semen or donor sperm you have pre-selected is used for fertilization. The sperm are washed and prepared, and the top-quality sperm extracted is used to fertilize the eggs.
Your doctor will create a customized medication schedule that contains information about the fertility medications and hormone injections you have to take. Medication and injections are taken to encourage your ovaries to mature a large number of eggs for fertilization. Since women don’t respond to fertility drugs and hormones the same way, personalized protocols are crucial to the IVF cycle success. At Coastal Fertility, we will monitor you closely, letting you understand the changes occurring in your body and keeping track of how your egg follicles are growing.
On-site consultations typicallyinclude a standard fertility evaluation, consisting of a physical examination, complementary follicular ultrasound, and testing to enable your doctor to know your present fertility status and draw up a treatment plan.
This consultation includes a detailed medical evaluation with a doctor. You and your physician will review your health records and have enough time to talk about your goals and get answers to your questions. We recommend that you jot down all your questions before the visit to allow you to make the best use of the time spent with your doctor.
Your Reproductive Endocrinologist will take all factors into consideration and create a comprehensive plan of care, otherwise known as the treatment plan. This plan will include treatment recommendations from the physician and enable your financial coordinator to make a precise quotation once you meet.
