[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, fine. She was just oblivious and had no idea how fertility works. But her RE should have informed her of her chances. It's not rocket science, it's stats. Statistically, in her late 30's, she would need more than 11 frozen eggs to take home a baby. She was relaxed and happy all these years, because her RE did not inform her about the process and she was too busy with her career to do the research on her own (it is not that hard this days, really). [/quote]

You realize she froze six years ago, right? long before we have the kind of data we do now on egg freezing and the likelihood of a live birth from a given number of eggs. It was an emerging form of technology and she can hardly be blamed for not knowing she needed multiple rounds. [/quote]

but not knowing enough should have made her more cautious not more certain. this does indeed appear to be a case of a woman who thought she could control her fertility and have the kids whenever she feels like it. I think there are many many more more sympathetic cases. I already wrote previously that it was puzzling this person was made the poster girl for donor eggs to begin with - like she was on the cover of magazine despite clearly not knowing anything, having few eggs, merely planning to have children at some point and just being kind of whacky overall [/quote]
