Egg Freezing You can now have a career and a
family

• Today, women are more career oriented than in the
  past. The number of women who have graduated
  from college has gone up significantly. Also,
  many more women are working as executives than 10
  years ago.  However, theres a downside to this
  professional commitment More women are
  postponing family planning to a later age which
  can have a negative effect on their fertility. By
  the time most women realize this, its too late.

Birth and fertility rates have hit record lows

• In 2018, the birth rate in the United States was
  the lowest it had been in the last 32 years.
  According to the Centers for Disease Control, the
  birth rate fell 2 from 2017 and has been
  steadily decreasing over the last four years.
  There are a variety of factors that have
  contributed to the decline

• The birth rate in teens has decreased. This may
  be due to better education about contraception
  and the availability of various forms of
  contraception. Also, the younger population is
  not interested in starting a family, do not have
  a partner or are pursuing a career.
• There is a greater trend for young women to
  consider fertility preservation as a new viable
  option. Women who are not ready to start a
  family, do not have a partner, or are pursuing a
  career are considering this option.

The declining birth rates have been a source of
media attention lately and various studies have
tried to provide an explanation for this trend.
However, the biggest challenge is finding a way
to balance a career and family.

More women have obtained a higher level of
education

• Previously, women usually completed their
  training (if they ever had the opportunity) in
  their early twenties at the latest and family
  planning was usually completed by the time they
  had reached their mid-twenties. But in the
  current century, the average age at which women
  prefer to have their first child is already over
  the age of 30!
• The main reason behind this that women now obtain
  a higher degree of education and training. Only
  30 of women had completed college in 1960, today
  that number has increased to over 60. Forget
  about women drawing level with men, women have
  indeed overtaken men. In view of this trend, many
  have already announced the 21st century to be the
  Century of Women.

A career takes center stage

• Unfortunately, a higher level of education has
  its own disadvantage Due to longer education
  periods, further life-planning will inevitably be
  delayed and hence the age of childbearing.
• Things are much less complicated with men. Men
  have more flexibility as they will still be able
  to father a child even at an advanced age. Women,
  by contrast, face a dilemma.  Their biological
  clock is colliding with the rush hour of life
  the stage of life from the completion of
  professional training, to starting work, up to
  the time of starting their own family.

The timing is not right

• Each woman has a different reason for not wanting
  to start their family right away. There are two
  points that we believe to be crucial The
  perfect partner has not been found or the focus
  is on their job and career advancement.
• When it comes to a career, it shows that
  professionally strongly engaged women, mainly in
  academics, present the lowest birth rates as
  compared to all other groups of women.

• There are a fair number of women in the academic
  environment who would like to have children.
  However, there is one reason they all eventually
  delay their decision Starting a family during
  studies is not advisable because of the demands
  placed on the student, the stress of the
  examinations that need to be taken, and the most
  important of all, the financial implications.
   Studying for a doctorate degree often requires
  50 60 working hours per week. So, this does not
  appear to be the best time to start a family. At
  the most decisive moment when youre ready to
  face the world and try to get settled, why to
  take risk of losing touch again soon after? The
  best time to start a family seems to be later
  in life.

Advanced maternal age as a risk factor

• Once your  career path has been established and
  you have found the perfect partner to start a
  family with, you are around 40 years of age. The
  prospects of conceiving a child have dramatically
  decreased.  From the age of 32 years and onward,
  the chances of getting pregnant and birthing a
  healthy baby drop rapidly. There is also an
  increased risk of miscarriages and chromosomal
  abnormalities in the children. Unfortunately, the
  quantity and quality of a womans eggs decreases
  as they get older.

Solution egg freezing

• Wouldnt it be great to stop your biological
  clock and preserve your fertility and
  reproductive health? The best-case scenario would
  be doing so while advancing your career and
  trying to find the right partner. There is a
  great solution egg freezing!
• Over the last 10 years, more women are choosing
  to delay childbearing. Fortunately, women now
  have more control and can preserve their
  fertility by freezing their healthy eggs at a
  young age and undergo IVF when they are ready.
• During the Egg Freezing process, a womans
  ovaries are stimulated by hormonal drugs to
  encourage the growth of multiple follicles.
  Subsequently, oocytes are retrieved from the
  ovaries via follicular aspiration. These
  retrieved oocytes are vitrified and then stored
  at -190C in liquid nitrogen. At a later stage,
  oocytes may be thawed without any damage and used
  to undergo IVF treatment.

• Individual women or couples considering freezing
  their eggs should not worry and shouldnt deter
  from it. Thanks to technological advances, it is
  now possible to cryopreserve oocytes (eggs)
  without any problems or damage to them. Thus,
  providing a great way to delay pregnancy and
  parenthood until the time is right for you.
• Ideally, freezing your eggs at a younger age is
  best. However, freezing your eggs at 40 years of
  age is also possible. The reality is, the sooner
  a woman decides to freeze their eggs the better
  are the chances of getting pregnant.

Objections to egg freezing

• Many argue that this procedure disrupts the
  natural human reproduction cycle. However, the
  term non-natural reproduction confuses the
  cause and effects of egg freezing.
• The objection that the child and mother both will
  suffer from late maternity has been proven false
  by research. Recent studies have shown that there
  is a positive correlation between later
  motherhood and the language development skills of
  the child as compared to children born to younger
  mothers. This fact also implies that advanced
  maternal age seems to be associated with better
  physical and mental development of the child.

13
Conclusion

• For the foreseeable future, egg freezing is
  likely to remain an important option for women
  who want to start a family later in life.
  Considering everything, one can hardly find any
  valuable and noteworthy argument against social
  freezing.
