This episode is all about babies!
Do I want them? Should I want them, what does it mean if I don't?
After finding out I have a low AMH level (egg count) my partner and I have been having these conversations and have decided to do an egg and embryo freeze cycle.
In this episode I chat:
- The tough reality for women that we do in fact have a biological clock that we need to consider
- How we made the decision to freeze eggs
- What scientific and biological factors swayed my decisions
- I share openly how I wasn't sure if I wanted kids and my fear of judgement from myself and society
- What my competing (and conflicting) goals are right now
- The pressures I put on myself in this process
- What the process of freezing eggs has been like, including the costs, the process and how I am personally feeling
- How I changed my diet and training to honor my body in this process
