[quote=Anonymous]Do it! I froze my eggs at 33 in a similar situation.  It was 2019, so pre-pandemic, but I had been stationed overseas with the military for 2 years and wasn't able to do it then and also wasn't able to date much, so I felt a similar sense of time-crunch once I came back to the US.  I was very lucky in that my costs were less given the military paid half, but I would still recommend it if you have the money to spare.

It gave me great peace of mind when I got back into dating, and also helped me learn more about my body and fertility.  I suggest you should do your own research on the success rates of de-thawing and fertilizing to understand what number of eggs you would feel comfortable with.  Also make sure the clinic is using the latest technologies for freezing/thawing.  For me, good fertility runs in my family, so, fingers crossed, I may be able to have 1 kid naturally, and then use the eggs for a second kid if my natural fertility has run out by then.

I met my now-finance about a year after I froze my eggs, and we got engaged after 2 years of dating.  Having eggs in the bank definitely took a bit of the pressure off of a timeline, and for that, I am grateful.  Getting married at 37 doesn't seem quite as scary with a small stash of eggs on ice.[/quote]
