The Narrative Of Jennifer Aniston’s “Being selfish.”

 In a talk she had with the women’s magazine Allure, the actress said that those pregnancy rumors surrounding her weren’t always what upset her the most. Instead, the narrative that she was “selfish” for focusing on her career and achieving her goals instead of having kids got her bothered.

What Is Egg Freezing?

Egg freezing, also known as egg vitrification, is part of the assisted reproductive techniques that allow women to preserve their reproductive potential by extracting eggs from the female ovary, which have not been fertilized, to be preserved for future use.

After some time, the frozen or vitrified eggs can be thawed and fertilized with sperm in a laboratory to create an embryo and implant it in the female uterus through In Vitro Fertilization technique.

How Is Egg Freezing Done?

• Ovarian stimulation. Once the woman has decided to keep her eggs, the specialist will administer hormones to stimulate the ovaries and several mature follicles at the same time and have a greater number of eggs. This process, which lasts about 10 to 12 days, is monitored through a vaginal ultrasound to determine if the necessary follicles are being obtained and if their number and size are adequate.
• Stimulation of ovulation. The specialist will stimulate ovulation through hormones, preparing them for later extraction.
• Egg retrieval. The specialist will later extract the eggs using a puncture to select the mature eggs.
• Preparation. The extracted eggs are dipped in a sucrose solution to eliminate the water they contain, preventing crystals from forming during freezing, which can damage the cells.
• Immersion in liquid nitrogen. Once prepared, the eggs are placed in the tube-shaped container and then immersed in liquid nitrogen at -196 ° C (-320 ° F) to freeze them in a matter of seconds.

When Is It Optimal To Consider Doing It?

• Disorders that affect fertility. People suffering from autoimmune diseases, anemia, or experiencing gender diversity situations can freeze their eggs for future use.
• Cancer treatments. Chemotherapy and radiation can affect fertility, so egg freezing gives women facing cancer a chance to get pregnant.
• In Vitro Fertilization. Some women seeking in vitro fertilization choose to freeze eggs rather than embryos for particular reasons.
• The decision to postpone motherhood. Many women dedicate their youth to their academic and professional preparation since they do not feel prepared to have children and plan to have a family later.

In these cases, women should seek egg freezing as soon as possible to obtain the highest quantity and best quality for future use.

How Much Does It Cost To Freeze Your Eggs?

At The Fertility Center Mexico, embryo freezing costs $6,600, 56% cheaper than in the US.
