As we talk to more and more of you about the egg freezing process, these are some of the emotions that are coming up for people.
Some others not in the graphic:
Lonely - will my parents/family understand and support my choice to do this?
Anxious - what if I have the eggs and don't find a partner? What will I do with those eggs? Do I even want to entertain being a single mother?
Hopeful and Empowered - now I don't feel the pressure to "settle" and just get married for the sake of having children. I feel like I have choice back.
And this is without mentioning all the emotions that can be side effects of the medications:
Depressed
Anxious
Irritable
More likely to cry
Quicker to react to emotional triggers
