Back to EpisodesWhy are more and more young women freezing their eggs?
Published 9 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Egg freezing (oocyte preservation) was once a medical procedure for patients facing infertility due to illness or surgery.
In 2012, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) declared it “non-experimental,” making elective or social egg freezing more mainstream.
Now widely used by Canadians seeking to delay parenthood for personal, career, or relationship reasons.
Guest: Dr. Prati Sharma, American Board Certified Reproductive Endocrinologist
