Summary

Last September, Janet shared about the start of her egg freezing journey on this podcast, and the process of going through her first cycle. Since then, she’s gone through one and a half more cycles. At six months, she wanted to share some updates and a deeper reflection on the journey so far. How many eggs was she able to retrieve, and how long do they last? What was it like to meet her partner in the middle of this journey? And what does she wish she knew before starting the process of freezing her eggs? Everyone’s experience with egg freezing is unique and personal, but she hopes today’s conversation can give valuable insight to anyone who is considering or starting egg freezing.
