Megan B., a 36\u002Dyear\u002Dold therapist and executive coach living in New York, decided to freeze her eggs after a breakup at 35.
“It was overwhelmingly about relationship issues,” Inhorn explains. “Amazing woman, after amazing woman, all without a partner.” She identified three main categories of those who froze their eggs: women freezing after a breakup or divorce, women still single despite years of dating and women with partners who weren’t ready for children..
Of course, there are alternative ways to create a family, but many people who freeze their eggs are holding out hope for a traditional partnership. In this way, Inhorn believes egg freezing is simultaneously a “technology of hope” that buys time and “a technology of despair,” adopted as a last resort.
She finds the process itself anxiety-inducing. Once her period arrives, Megan must inject herself with hormones each night for roughly two weeks, stimulating her ovaries to produce multiple eggs. Another medication is added in the second week, to prevent early ovulation. The size of her follicles must be monitored at a clinic every few days, with a final “trigger shot” administered exactly 36 hours before retrieval, which is a short surgery performed under sedation.
