- Hey Ya'll,
I know it's been a while but I'm back! I had to take some time and focus on personal things. One of those things being my decision to freeze my eggs. I decided to bring you guys along in hopes that being transparent about this will serve as insightful and hopefully helpful to many other women. This is definitely a personal choice and I did what felt right for me, it's not the only option that exists, but is the one I chose to take.

Very inspiring to see an Indian woman sharing this. We have such huge expectations of us and are afraid of disappointing our parents by not fulfilling them. Living life on our own accord and taking control and putting our happiness first is the new wave. And I’m hoping on the bandwagon. ❤️☺️
That honest conversation you shared between you and your parents about freezing your eggs and things like this being taboo in south asian culture is SO important. I am nowhere near the age of having children or freezing my eggs, BUT this is so important to talk about regardless. I have supported you for years and I admire how honest and open you always are. These kinds of conversations may be awkward and weird to have with parents, but they are important. We need to get rid of the shame and awkwardness surrounding these kinds of topics because a lot of women go through the same things, but are scared to talk about them. I also love how supportive your family is of this process and I am excited to see more videos regarding this new journey of yours. Sending you all my love!
The conversation with your parents made me tear up. It’s clear that they love you and want to support you.
I know right... I feel bad for them sometimes .. like every other parent they also have so many dreams for there daughter.. one came up to there mark n this one have left no choice other than supporting her even thought they don’t like it.. not every parents are like this.. this is called unconditional love... lucky her..
Enjoy y’all! Stay tuned for the rest of the episodes and please subscribe if you haven’t xoxo
Proud
Thanks for sharing this special personal Journey with us💕💞
❤❤❤
As a brown girl, I appreciate you talking about this so much!
Thank you so much for sharing this journey! I'm almost 30, single, and I know I want children one day. I actually just broached the topic of freezing my eggs with my mom last month, and I'm starting the information gathering part now!
I don’t know if you are aware of the IMMENSE positive impact you’re bringing to the world esp for South Asian women by sharing your journey. I’m speechless, thank you Deepica 🙏🏽
This is so personal and you didn't have to share but really really appreciate you sharing this❤️
What does it mean to freeze eggs ?
Thank you so much for sharing. As a single med student in her late 20s, I’ve started to consider freezing my eggs in the coming years. Hearing your story (and following it on insta) has been very enlightening! You’re a true influencer for our generation 🥰
Thank you so much Deepica for sharing this!!! Being a south Indian girl, I'm so happy to see someone like me educating everyone. Love you.
your interaction with your parents and your mum saying she'll support you 110%, come to the appointments and ask questions, made me so teary eyed! I love your relationship with your parents and it reminds me of the relationship I have with mine. I honestly feel super grateful for it because I understand that a lot of people from our background, don't have that with their families.
Thank you for vlogging such a personal journey. I'm 31 and Indian American too, and have been thinking about visiting a fertility specialist for the past two years now. I really appreciate you describing the steps of this journey.
Love how you included the conversation with your parents and showcased their concern / views. The way you navigated the conversation was incredible - honest, informative, and with the intention to relieve worry. A lot of times having these types of serious conversations can be hard and I think for many women - especially Desi women - it gives us an idea of how to go about these conversations with our parents without it ending up in hurt feelings or strain. Thank you (and the Pandus) for allowing us to see that bcus it really attacks the issue of "taboo" that is constantly put on women in our society. The series as a whole does a great job of this, but this conversation in particular really does a lot.
Thank you so much for sharing this journey with us - you didn’t had to, but you choose the path to educate and empower many women across the world!
I trust admire your open communication with your parents and convince them that this is a something you want to do but also want there blessings and support!
Tons of love and respect to you!❤️
You go girl!!!!I wish that I could have done this and now it is too late💖for me because of health problems now....I think we as women should have this available option with the advancement of science now.....
It’s so awesome that you posted this. Having this conversation with Indian parents can be daunting and I’m glad it’s changing now. Your parents remind me of my parents, so sweet and supportive!
Thank you for sharing your journey and speaking on this topic which is often considered so taboo in the South Asian community.
We need people to start breaking these barriers and you are helping shatter these misconceptions and taboos ❤
Thank you for putting this through! Your conversation with your mom and dad made me emotional. thanks for spearheading the breakdown of these stigmas on these outlets and among our families 🤍
Your parents are sincerely concerned about your well-being not about their reputation etc which is usually the case in most Asian families and that's beautiful to watch. They're super supportive :) you're lucky to have each other ♥
Of course they were concerned abt there image in front of there relatives.. that’s why mamma panda said “ even if you under go this process you don’t have to tell any one and publish referring to there Telugu community n relatives... then tht part got edited and in nxt part she must have convinced them like always... we’ll she has left no choice for them , she being there most loving child .. they have to support her but am sure they are suffering from inside...
You have the best parents in the world. You have won the lottery of life with parents like them. I am not suggesting that it was the same for you growing up as it is now. What I am saying is that is my parents were even 3% the kind of people that your parents are, then maybe I won’t feel so utterly alone in life. Well done kiddo.
ugh making me emotional!! so proud of u and thank you for being an amazing role model. we don't get to pick our own timelines for everything and honestly every birthday i get upset about getting older lol and not having my life as together as i'd like. but you're make me feel less scared and your raw honestly about all of our options is soo helpful to hear!
I love this so much! Thank you for doing this series. I'm 28 and I've never thought about egg freezing until now. At first, it sounded like such a scary concept, but after watching this, I'm not as anxious anymore. You are honestly doing such great things for the South Asian community Deeps 🥰
You ROCK Deepica!!!!
Hope you’re doing well
Thank you so sooo much for sharing
Your parents sounded so anxious
It was great the way you explained things to them & the way the Dr explained things as well
Really really informative
Hi deepica! It feels good to see your videos after so long! Best wishes to u and the entire pandu family! ❣️❣️
You are so inspiring, thank you for sharing your story. My mum is an OBGYN and was always open about this stuff with me but so many of my South Asian friends did not have that experience! You are amazing xx
You're an inspiration ❤️. I understand this journey is very personal but thank you so much for sharing your journey 🥰.

Thank you so much for sharing this, I think this is awesome and I feel like something you don’t see women of color speak of almost ever. I’m so grateful you’re taking us on the journey with you ❤️
OMG how I love mama and papa pandu... She says she'll support you a 110%... I think that's unconditional love of a parent... God bless you guys deepica :) :)
Deepica, thank you so much for sharing such an intimate part of your life. You're such an inspiration for young women who are trying to take control over their reproductive decisions in spite of all the taboo and hush hush culture in brown households. You're a frickin STAR! Sending lots and lots of love and prayers for you
Your dad ‘but date somebody too’ made my day 😂😂😂 Thank you so so much sharing this ❤️❤️❤️ I just turned 31 myself and this is so informative.
My parents have progressed from saying “ not dating “ to “ Star dating someone”
I know you already know this but your parents are amazing!
A foster parent told me to freeze my eggs at 25 because she regretted not doing it and now I’m 29 and considering if it’s more important than a house down payment
You can first get tested to see how much ovarian reserve you have left (basically how long you’re likely to be fertile) so you can get a better idea of how long you have and then make a decision
I feel like I should do this too. I’m turning 28 this year I’m single and I’m not planing on having kids any time soon. I have other plans for myself.
OMG ! Thank you for sharing your journey. It's helping a lot ! To woman to know on how to make some choice where they are trying to look what's best for her. And I'm learning a lot and you are giving some courage to other people, like me ! THANK YOU !!!
Hey Deepica, just wanted to send you positive vibes through this exciting yet scary journey! Also you will feel a lot of ups and downs through this process. The injections can be painful but just think that you’re doing this for your future babies. Also the feeling heaviness of the ovaries is no joke. Just stay positive and everything will be ok!
Hi Deepika akka. You inspire me a lot. Your parents are really supportive. I really hope that I can also do the same thing with my parents' support. Im not ready to get married now and I really wish I can do this😣. Sending you lots of love from Malaysia. XOXO
Hey Deepica.Thanks for sharing your journey with us. I felt so proud of you and amazed when you shared that you are going for egg freezing process and ready to share your personal journey with everyone. It’s so good to see how your parents being so supportive. You are such a beautiful person inside and out. Keep inspiring, Lots of love from India 🇮🇳 ❤️
thank you for sharing this! I honestly had no idea how this worked, or the stigma around it. Excited to see your journey. Keeping you in prayer
I am working lady and I can't have time to get child and partner. I am not interest in anyone now. So I thought getting egg freezing is really important for lady like us. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing this process Deepica! Your vulnerability is really lovely and as a fellow brown woman I know how taboo this topic is and so it’s really nice to learn from your experience and learn more about egg freezing in general. Thank you and I’m happy your experience has been safe and good. 🙏🏽
Deepica, tysm for sharing this with us and being open about it. I hope you will take us along the entire journey :) Let this be an inspiration for girls out there :)
My fav. TH-camr. Just had a breakup today. I feel better , atleast while watching your vlog. Love you so much. Tc! ❤️
Who had a breakup???
You literally deserve more subscribers!!!!!
This is going to be super helpful!! I have also made the decision that I want to freeze my eggs this year🤗
Good for you! Taking control of your life and being proactive instead of potentially reactive in the future. Wishing you the best!
Thank you so much for being vulnerable and sharing your story!! Can't wait for the rest of the episodes ❤️
Absolutely loved this video! It's so nice to see how supportive your parents are, made me tear up.Thank you for sharing something so personal!!
Deepica i love you i love you so much and you are one of the reason why I feel so proud of being a teluguite . I admire how career is your utmost top priority . I wish every women get the same support from the parents so that one day they gather up all the courage and can decide what they exactly want from their lives.
You are my inspiration ❤
Thank you thank you thank you for creating this series! I’m in the process of figuring this process out. To listen to you and get educated, it’s empowering. We all should pave our own paths and no systemic “norm” should hold us back! Taking control of our lives, is vital!!! I know at this point you’ve already gone through the procedure! Thank you for this!
Love that you put up the conversation with your parents!
@deepika i should have done this years ago and going through this now and its getting difficult everytime i do the retrival.Thanks for taking this out on social media so that younger girls can decide on it ahead of time.
I'm crying watching this right now. Just thank you so much for sharing your story and being so open and honest. It's just really nice to see someone going through the same thing you are! Thank you!!
I should have done this. Now I'm old and dried up👵🏼
I am a south indian, i am about to do the same. I appreciate this video.
Thanks so much for sharing this Deepica! I have brown parents as well so that conversation you had with them was really inspiring.
31 flies girl im now 35 plus size no husband all my relationships are long 3 years 5 years inhavent been w no 1 since 28 I can't see me having a baby w someone this fast
Honestly, I am at loss for words right now, but I knew I had to write something. This video has stirred up so many emotions within me, some scary and sad but mostly happy ones! I will be turning 29 soon and I've briefly talked to friends about "freezing my eggs/IVF" but not really discussing what that actually means. This video has been so insightful, and I am really glad you decided to bring us on this journey with you! I can't wait for parts 2 & 3 and I wish you nothing but the best!
I've been really nervous with doing this during quarantine. I don't know what to expect at all, so thank you for sharing your experience.
Damn Girl you keep rocking 🙌🏽🙌🏽🕉break all the stereotypes ❤️lots of love to you and your family.
You did not have to share this personal side of you but you did and for that, I am truly thankful! Your journey has given me new insight into fertility preservation and motherhood in general.
Next month i will be 26 ..i m feeling the same way as u feeling
...❤️❤️
Oh man man man. Tomorrow I have my first gynae check-up because I discovered lumps in my private parts a few days back. If all goes well (i.e. nothing life-threatening is found) then I am gonna seriously consider getting a pap smear test followed up egg freezing! of course, I should first finish the remaining two videos of this journey. Well done, macha! Super cool!
"but start dating someone too" - I felt that haha. About to start my egg freezing journey next month, thanks for sharing!!
Words cannot express how inspired I am by your honesty, bravery and courage to share your story. Your path to a life full of joy, peace, love and growth is amazing to watch and be a part of! I hope we can all start realizing it’s in our own hands to create that reality we want! Sending you so much love and peace❤️❤️❤️
Money makes a big deal of difference in our perspective too
Good luck 👍!.
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS!!!!!!! Especially the conversation with your parents that was so powerful❤️ I am 20 years old with endometriosis, adenomyosis & polycystic ovarian syndrome which are the leading causes of infertility in women. I have already had one surgery to slow the progression but I know my only chance of having kids is a partial hysterectomy in my 20's to remove my uterus (keeping my ovaries) and freezing as many eggs as I possibly can before I need to remove my ovaries too. Then, I will hopefully, with the help of a gestational surrogate, be able to have my own baby. I know for certain that I want to be a mother and have multiple children/build a family of my own. I also know I have a long journey ahead of me but motherhood begins with sacrifice and love for our babies, that starts long before they come into existence✨ Everyone's path to parenthood looks different and runs on a different time schedule, for some it's easy for others there are a few more steps involved. Again, fertile women can freeze their eggs as 'an insurance policy' for family planning and still end up getting pregnant naturally so really, if you KNOW you want to be a mother someday, egg freezing is possibly a good option for you☺️
LONG STORY SHORT: thank you, thank you, thank you! The stigma on women taking control of their fertility and family planning needs to end and this is the way to do it. We share our stories, we refuse to have shame or feel it is something to hide from the world. I wish you all the best and your own beautiful healthy babies on your own time with a loving partner🥰
This made me so emotional...just love you deepika
You go girl..I love ur confidence
This made me very happy.. am 37 already have two kids.. but this was something that bothered me when am 30.. egg freezing is great idea.. wish I known it before😂. Many will follow u👍congratulations and wish success in ur path
Plzzz upload part 2 and 3 qickly im so excited to know about this journey . And u are amazing 👏 ❤
Thank you so much for sharing this!Sincerely appreciate it. I’m 31 myself and was thinking about this as well. This helps out sooooo much
The timing of your journey is purely magic!! I hope to start IVF by this summer. I wish you well! xoxo
Our daughter went thru IVF which involves harvesting eggs and all that implies. It’s a grueling and gruesome process.
yes girl, i agree with ur dad. you need to start dating. its not fun being single. most important part in life is finding ur significant other and then kids can follow... life is better when shared with a companion!!
Girl you are doing an amazing job sharing your journey and help to educate women on this subject thank you👏🏽👏🏽
Mama Pandu’s support is the best!
Omg Deepica thank you for shining light onto this. Some of us are like you and don’t live by the timeframes our patents and or culture instills in us. Coming from an Indian background as well I’m so happy that your parents were accepting of it. I can’t imagine how hard it was to tell them and how hard it was for them to accept. I wish you all the best on your journey and sending over so much love and support.
Thank you for posting this and sharing such a vulnerable journey, I find it so useful and informative.
