Reproductive health professionals on the egg freezing hype: Social freezing is a double-edged sword

The article discusses the growing trend of 'Social Freezing,' where women freeze their eggs to preserve fertility for later in life. It highlights concerns raised by reproductive medicine specialist Mischa Schneider, who warns against false security and misplaced hope associated with the procedure. Schneider emphasizes that female fertility declines significantly after age 34, and while modern medicine offers options, it cannot override biological limits. The piece notes that many young people are focused on contraception but rarely consider their declining fertility, a gap highlighted during the World Infertility Awareness Month. The article is presented as a paid contribution by pharmaceutical companies.
