Are we too panicked about women's fertility?
Barbara Ellen on fertility panic & egg freezing in the Observer today. I don't completely agree with everything she says in this article but I do agree that egg freezing is such an unproven and expensive procedure that encouraging women to use it as an insurance policy is probably not very helpful. There is no guarantee that older women using frozen eggs will have a higher success of fertility and it would be even more devastating if women had counted on this as a definite option for the future. I think prior to this support or coaching to help women work out their options and also to focus on the bigger picture - how they want to live their live, what their vision is of the future.
