When you were 29, you decided to have your eggs frozen to take control of your biological clock. What was your thought process like in making the decision to freeze your eggs?

About a year ago I read a brief article about a woman giving birth to her first child at the age of 49. I thought, "how does that work?" So, I started doing some research. Given the woman's advanced age, she most likely used a donor egg. After learning that the cutoff to be an egg donor in the US is 32, I thought "it would be great if I could be my own egg donor".

I had consultations with two doctors before I selected Dr. Michael Drews at RMANJ. I was 29 during our initial meeting. He told me that he often sees women who are a decade older, and he can't help them. He highlighted the benefits of taking a step like this at a younger age.
