[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. 3 years may be seem like a long time time, but there are many couples who get pregnant sooner than that. I love my husband and we honestly sync up on everything except when to have kids. At first, he said late 30's, and now wants them now or in a year. It's the pressure of our families and all of our friends getting pregnant, and telling us we need to start. We came to a decision that waiting a year will be the best choice.

Yes, I said kids are hard now, but I do what them. Being realistic, I can't do work and school with a baby. School trumps baby right now. I am more than willing to have a nanny while working, but now while having work and school.

Yes, I got my eggs frozen at 19 as a precaution. I've had check ups and I'm fine. That may change, but it may not. I am not going to live my life in fear. The worse thing someone can do is have a child out of fear or before they're ready. It's a humans being, not an accessory.

I am well aware of the job risks while pregnant. I am fine with it. [/quote]

Eggs frozen 15+ years prior are REALLY unlikely to be usable. Technology has improved immensely in the last 5 years, but it likely won't benefit your eggs.

That's a really interesting choice for a 19 year old to make. Did you pay for it, or did a family member? Were you donating eggs and added on freezing some for yourself? I'm just curious about the situation that led to that choice at 19, it's unusual.

There's something going on here I can't quite put my finger on... are you just a hyper-vigilant "everything needs to be perfect/I need to be prepared for any situation" type? In your heart of hearts, does children excite you, or is it something you want because you think you'd regret it later if you don't?  [/quote]
