[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I call BS on this whole thing.

If OP is 33 and had her eggs frozen at 19 then it was done 14 years ago.

EGG freezing technology was in it's infancy 14 years ago.  Places like Shady Grove or Dominion fertility (the two major DC clinics) DIDN'T OFFER IT.   Maybe there was a single clinic in NYC that did.    Next we're supposed to believe that OP when there.   :roll:

OP is lying.  I'd be a million dollars.  [/quote]

As soon as she brought up the frozen eggs, I thought it was made up, too. I looked into it in 2007 (10 years ago); I was 35, my husband was possibly deploying, and it seemed like we might need to do this. At that point, prices were coming down and the technology was improving, but the places I was looking at had only been offering it as an elective, reasonably guaranteed option for a couple of years. I guess it's possible, but very unlikely.

But the rest of it sounds legit. Like a lot of us before we actually got pregnant or had babies, we think of them as something that can be scheduled and planned for just like school, work, family obligations. It's not until you actually have children that you realize that you don't get to decide which hours that child sleeps, or when that child will get sick and have to stay home, or that feeding the child takes actual time that you thought would just get rolled into your own meal times ... It's just so much easier to compartmentalize in theory, and we all think that parents who find this difficult must be doing it wrong, especially if they have money to hire help. Then we have our own, and realize that it doesn't work that way.[/quote]
