'The actual logistics of the egg freezing process are pretty straightforward, it is not an exact science and every step of the way you have no clue what the result will be—how many eggs you’ll get or how you’ll feel.' eggfreezing fertilityjourney ivf
In a clinic in the western suburbs of Perth, Australia, 12 of my ovarian eggs are just sitting there, frozen in time. Waiting. Waiting. What are they waiting for? This is a question I have dwelled on quite a bit.
Perth has managed to be one of the most fortunate cities in the world in terms of restrictions from COVID, so as 2020 drew to a close and my chances of conceiving naturally in the near future got smaller , I decided to commit to egg freezing, and booked an appointment for early February, just over two weeks before my 34th birthday.
The ultrasound appointment went fine, my ovaries were checked, as was my uterus. At about the 20-minute mark I was pretty over having a wand up my cooch, but proud I had done it. I called my mum after and had a little cry in a parking lot. It was a feeling I would become very familiar with. Of course I felt grateful that I could afford to freeze my eggs , grateful that the technology exists, grateful for the opportunity to feel a tiny bit of control regarding my fertility.
Injecting myself wasn’t as bad as I thought but was one of the most confronting parts of the process. It actually made me feel powerful. But it was a lot more complex than I anticipated, and I was thankful for my pharmacy background and experience dealing with syringes and making medicines! One day I was chatting to a work colleague. She is 22. That night, just before I injected the first medicine of the day, I involuntarily let out a gasp of sadness. The only way I can describe it is that it came from deep within. My solar plexus perhaps. I was overcome thinking back to being 22, and how I had all the eggs in the world and hope that I would find love soon.
