What is Social Freezing?
Fertility preservation, also known as social freezing, involves advanced techniques designed to save and protect your embryos, eggs, and sperm. This ensures that you have the option to have a child in the future if now isn’t the right time for you to begin parenthood.
Why is Social Freezing Done?
People choose to freeze their eggs or sperm for a variety of reasons. This technology gives people the freedom to choose when to start a family, allowing them to plan around their personal and professional lives.
Women
- Delaying Childbearing: Women may opt for social freezing to focus on career goals, educational pursuits, or other personal circumstances.
- Age-Related Fertility Decline: Women often consider freezing their eggs when they are not yet ready to have children but are aware that fertility decreases with age.
- Medical Treatments: Women may choose to freeze eggs if they are undergoing medical treatments that could impact their fertility.
- Cancer: Chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery for cancer can affect a woman's fertility.
- Autoimmune Diseases: Conditions such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, and their treatments, may cause fertility problems.
Men
- Delaying Fatherhood: Men may choose to freeze sperm if they wish to delay having children due to career goals, education, or personal circumstances.
- Age-Related Fertility Decline: Preserving sperm before fertility declines can be beneficial.
- Cancer: Chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery for cancer can impact a man's fertility.
- Autoimmune Diseases: Conditions such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, and their treatments, can affect fertility.
This technology gives individuals the freedom to choose when to start a family, allowing them to plan around their personal and professional lives. People who wish to delay having children until it suits them may choose to freeze their eggs to increase their chances of having a child at ages where their fertility levels might drop.
Studies find that the gender pay gap is a consequence of maternity and the time that women take off from their careers to raise their children. Egg freezing allows women who want to prioritize their careers to become mothers later in life, providing more flexibility and control over their reproductive choices.
