BANKING YOUR EGGS, FREEZING YOUR FUTURE BABIES

Unfortunately, as women age, their fertility declines. The biological clock is REAL. I’ve seen many women focused on climbing the corporate ladder to reach financial independence but, as they attend their routine gynae checks – a chat on starting a family reveals that many of them would love to be moms one day when circumstances allow. As I assess them, some of their sonars show that their eggs are depleting. My advice for them is to do a blood test (AMH) to check-in on their ovarian reserve. I explain this test to be like a petrol gauge that indicates to you the mileage you can cover. For a woman whose sonar reveals fewer follicles and AMH levels on the decline, it may be an indicator to focus the attention on plans of motherhood earlier than anticipated. Where fertility is concerned, ignorance is not bliss, but pain. A poor ovarian reserve means missing out on the chance of having a biological child. However, all hope is not lost as there is the option of egg donation as an alternative and others. So what do you do if you’re not ready to be a mom but would love to be one day? Either you haven’t met your Prince in shining armour yet, your career has just begun to skyrocket, or, your financial situation needs to add up first (as babies don’t come cheap they say). Then BANK your eggs – something I refer to as your FERTILITY INSURANCE or FERTILITY BACK-UP. As your eggs are aging or wasting away each month it slowly reduces chances of future motherhood. Since you’re not spending on nappies and the formula yet, why not invest in such a change towards your fertility insurance and freeze your eggs? This would ensure that in the case you run into a situation of delayed motherhood readiness for whatever reason and your eggs are depleted, there’s a viable plan B for your own biological child. Freezing eggs offers the advantage that after the age of 35 years of age the quality of your eggs would not be compromised and their age would remain not a day or a second older than the day you froze them. This means that even if you’re only ready for a baby at the age of 42, your fertility investment can be cashed in to give you the opportunity of the family you desire.
