Hi there, I'm Lale Arakoglu, with a women who travels story about a very personal journey for those who may be considering whether to have a child and how to do it. I didn't know if due to age or my own physical capabilities, if I would have to repeat the

process again. I didn't know if I would have a lower count and in order to give myself a viable chance at starting a family,

if I would need to go back and spend the money again to do this.

I've heard of so many horror stories of people just mortgaging their houses, refinancing, going broke.

I'm talking to Los Angeles-based Esther U. McElroy,

who researched several international fertility clinics before scheduling an appointment in another country to freeze her eggs.

But before we embark on her roller coaster of experiences,

a little aside,

because when we started recording,

I could actually hear her kitten in the background.

One second, let me get her.

I thought I locked everyone away.

I have a zoo, so I locked everyone in their bathroom.

One second.

I'll get her.

Jasmine.

All righty.

That should be good for now.

We've had many animals make cameos.

Well, I have a complete zoo.

So we have way too many.

We have 10 cats.
