Ladies, Freeze Your Eggs

Ladies, Freeze Your Eggs

I'm in my early 30's and as soon as I was financially able I froze some eggs. Let's face, our lives are structured differently these days and many of us put off having kids because we uber educate ourselves putting off working, careers and family.

I love the attention The Mindy Project gave to the issue.

Honestly it comes down to an investment and peace of mind. At 37 your body is able to carry that baby but you want those 22 year old eggs.

Sure I know a couple women who had all their kids in their 20's but let's face it they are outliers these days. Most of us are still in school or training.

We aren't fortunetellers so even if you think you don't want kids just freeze it, trust it takes a weight off your shoulders and levels the playing field.

  • Please educate me. For those women want to have children, what is REALLY stopping them from finding a good guy who would be able to understand them, and have kids in their 20s? Then pursue a career later in life. Your career gives you satisfaction, but that versus a relative small window of opportunity to leave a genetic legacy. I think having the child early is the more urgent matter that needs to be addressed if you want children.

    Are those women too picky in terms of choosing men? When they are not the top 20% women in the dating pool but they think by advancing in career to get the finance to try improve themselves to get the top 20% men? Men actually don't care too much about your career success or how much money you can give them. They like your appearance and personality. You could be a waitress, and if are good to them, and they think you're attractive then men will be attracted. There's no shortage of good guys.

    If it is looks that's stopping some women from attracting a mate, then don't waste your time and money on freezing eggs. Plastic surgery is the answer. It might work out to be cheaper in the long run, and it's immediate results. Sounds so harsh, but it is what it is.

    If it is personality, then part time the work and get something interesting going on in your life that lets you meet guys. There's no such thing as the perfect guy, just need to learn to deal with differences.

    Same thing goes for guys who are invisible to women.

    • For real? Is that such an absurd idea to actually be PREPARED to support a family before we actually have one? It's also easier to go to college and learn things while the information is still fresh from high school and we have the energy of our youth to do it. Balancing school work and classes is much easier when you don't have someone else depending on you to for basic needs to survive. Having kids first means we have to put off work and school to nurture that child (ren) for several years before we can even begin to look for a college to join. After that the information we learned in high school has gone stale, our energy is spent getting the kids ready, keeping the husband happy (if a man is in the picture), and trying to hit those books. And because we have more adult obligations than when we were 19, prioritizing and managing our time and money is extremely difficult which means we'll be in school LONGER than the 4 years to earn a Bachelors and even longer for master degree.

    • In turn it'll take time to find a job. Do you really think we're sitting here like "I don't want to get married to an ugly dude, better go get my degree first!" Like for real? Girls that focus on their career first are thinking only about THEIR future and financial stability. We have plenty of time to pop out babies and are generally in no rush to do so. Kids are a mere thought but not in the immediate game plan. We have nothing to prove to nobody. We're not out there making money just to impress successful men. Like really? You think success and/or career driven women are all out to appear acceptable to successful men? For what? Is pleasing men all we're supposed to be thinking about? Do you know the pay for part-time work? Nobody can live off that. No one can contribute to much for that. Not everyone wants to sit back and let someone else take care of us. Some of us actually want to, you know, DO SOMETHING with our lives and contribute to the world without using our uterus.
