[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this the right forum for this question, or am I posting in the wrong place?

I really appreciate what I've learned in this space as I've done my research on the process, but it would be great to have a place to chat with other single 30something women who are considering/have done egg freezing, live alone, and/or maybe just don't have any other place to discuss this process. I don't know about you all, but it wasn't in my plan to lose my prime fertile years to dating in a pandemic, but here we are.

I'm well aware that it's a tremendous privilege to be able to even consider this, but it is also pretty frustrating and heartbreaking to feel like I'm running out of time and have no other options. Not to mention that it's expensive, kinda scary, and brings up all sorts of feelings about my life choices. IDK - am I the only out here looking for such a virtual space? Every other support group I've found is specifically for women who have decided they 100% want to have children and are struggling with infertility - while I can't even imagine what that's like, I'm just wondering if there's space to discuss the other challenges out there too?[/quote]

Carefully review success statistics. I've heard something like freezing eggs only increases your chances of having a baby by like 5-10 percent - because they are so fragile and don't survive freezing very well. It may be worth exploring sperm donors and freezing embryos. If you end up meeting a man you want to have children with, you might end up needing to use donor eggs anyway depending on your age at the time you are ready to get pregnant. So its possible that you might not be able to have full bio kids with him anyhow. [/quote]
