Perspective: Single women looking to extend their fertility usually freeze eggs. I froze embryos. Here’s why.
By Briallen Hopper May 10 at 10:11 AM It’s been over a year since I froze eight embryos: My eggs plus donor sperm. As Mother’s Day approached, I called to check up on them.
For most people, pairing off and having kids are linked. First comes love, and/or marriage. Then comes the baby in the baby carriage. For a long time, this was how I thought about love, as well. Now that I have embryos in the bank, a romantic relationship seems less like a prerequisite for parenthood and more like an obstacle to it. I’m sure that somewhere in my city of 8.6 million people there are a few men interested in dating a woman in my reproductive situation. But outside of an especially far-fetched telenovela, the process of attempting to get pregnant with a donor-conceived embryo seems like too much hassle to try to combine with Tinder.
Mary, a 41-year-old in the Bay Area, has an egg-freezing story with a rom-com-worthy meet-cute. She started dating her now-husband when she was 39 and had just started the egg-freezing process. Even though they’d only just met online, he witnessed her daily hormone injections, and he cared for her after her egg retrieval.
