Ladies Finance Club - Get Rich Should You Freeze Your Eggs? The Truth About Timing, Costs + Common Mistakes
What age should you seriously start thinking about freezing your eggs?
In this powerful and practical episode of Get Rich, Molly Benjamin sits down with fertility specialist Dr Raelia Lew to unpack everything you actually need to know about egg freezing — from the ideal age to consider it, to what the process involves, how much it costs, and the biggest mistake Raelia sees women make when it comes to their fertility.
They cover:
- Why any woman not planning kids before 30 should consider egg freezing
- What age egg quality starts to decline (and why 35 is a critical number)
- How the freezing process works, step by step
- What tests you need, and what your AMH results actually mean
- The truth about costs — including Medicare and PBS rebates
- And the emotional relief egg freezing can bring, especially if you're feeling pressure around your timeline
Raelia also debunks common myths (spoiler: it’s not surgery), shares her take on the “egg harvest,” and explains why freezing your eggs is the only real anti-ageing move for your fertility.
Whether you're in your 20s, 30s, or just egg-freeze curious — this episode is a must-listen for any woman who wants to understand her options and feel empowered about her future.
