My Concerns About Work-Life Balance: Egg Freezing

Egg freezing is emerging as a new trend among those who prioritize work-life balance. I've been thinking deeply about this procedure myself recently, and as a woman living in a busy modern society, I believe it's a crucial decision for both my health and my future. I'd like to speak candidly about the egg freezing process and the concerns I have in mind.

Personally, I've always been serious about my health and self-improvement. I manage stress through yoga and meditation, and I'm quite mindful of my diet. Naturally, I've found myself paying closer attention to the signals my body sends me. Especially these days, with more and more women planning to marry or have children later in life, I've been thinking about the inevitable reality of our biological clocks. Of course, I don't have any immediate plans for marriage or children, but the thought suddenly crossed my mind, "What if I regret it later when I want to have children?"

So I started researching egg freezing. Talking to friends who were going through similar issues and researching related information, I realized it wasn't just a cosmetic procedure; it was a genuine investment in my health and future. This procedure involves retrieving and storing eggs while you're young and healthy. This increases your chances of trying to conceive with healthy eggs even later in life. It's like saving money in the bank, saving for a healthy pregnancy in the future.

Of course, the process isn't simple. Hormone injections and egg retrieval can be physically demanding, and the financial burden is significant. Furthermore, there's the practical concern of whether I'll ever use these eggs. Nevertheless, I found the procedure incredibly appealing because it allows me to take charge of my own life and proactively prepare for the future. Perhaps it's not simply about preparing for childbirth; it's about enhancing self-efficacy, giving me the feeling of being in control and proactively planning my own life.

If there are any of you who have considered egg freezing like I have, I would like to talk with you about what was the biggest factor in your decision and what concerns you have.
