In Nurys’s Own Words
“One of my deepest passions is the dream of becoming a mother. My two sisters and I were raised by an incredible mother who inspired me to one day have three children of my own. However, with numerous career goals and unfinished business ahead of me, I'm not yet ready to start a family.
At 32 years old, I am aware of the ticking of my biological clock, so I decided to proactively freeze and preserve my eggs. This journey was unexpected, and I faced it with a mix of fear and determination to protect my future family. Fortunately, The Center for Reproductive Medicine (CRM) provided the guidance and reassurance I needed to move forward with confidence.
I chose CRM because I wanted to work with a trusted and knowledgeable facility. The gratitude I feel for CRM is beyond words. They educated me, walked me through each step of the process, and truly prepared me for this journey. The Center for Reproductive Medicine has empowered me to be brave and bold in my decision to freeze my eggs. I am ready to take on this process, knowing in my heart that I can't wait to become a mom one day.”
What to Expect
If you’re interested in freezing your eggs, the first step is a consultation with a physician to discuss your fertility goals and your options. From there, you’ll have bloodwork done for several tests, one of which measures Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH). Women are born with a finite number of eggs, and an AMH test is used to assess ovarian reserve (your egg supply). While an AMH test does not predict your ability to get pregnant nor the quality of your eggs, the results will offer you and your doctor insight into how many eggs you should retrieve to help reach your future family-building goals. They also will be able to tell you more about your chances of conceiving naturally.
An egg freezing cycle takes approximately two weeks, and is timed based on your menstrual cycle. You’ll take medication to stimulate your ovaries so they release multiple eggs. During this time, you’ll be monitored at several in-office appointments until it’s time to retrieve the eggs through a minor surgical procedure. From initial consultation and testing through completion, the entire process takes less than two months.
