Episode notes
Faye's Personal Reason For Freezing At 26
- Faye froze eggs at 26 partly to reduce pressure around partner timing and future family planning.
- She framed it as creating protections and options, not an insurance policy she expects to use immediately.
Get Both AMH Bloods And An Internal Scan
- Get a clinic consultation that includes both AMH bloods and an internal scan to assess egg reserve and follicles.
- Use the scan result plus AMH to plan stimulation and realistic expectations for egg yield.
Prepare For Stimulation, Trigger And Collection
- Expect ~2 weeks of daily injections to stimulate multiple follicles, then a trigger and an egg collection under sedation ~36 hours later.
- Plan for recovery the next day and understand not every follicle yields an egg or every egg will survive thawing.
