Freezing my eggs | VLOG, FAQ, side effects, injection tips + tricks

Hi there! I had my eggs frozen a few months ago. This is a little diary of my experience and also answered some common questions I received on why I chose to this, side effects, and things that worked well for me. Hope this helps anyone who's interested in learning more about the process and experience. Proud of you for exploring this!!

Thank you for the information! How many eggs did you get on the first round and how many in the second one?

[@wangchristy]

Hi! I got 17 both times

Thanks so much for posting this! Could you maybe explain more about what it was like to get put to sleep? This is the part that freaks me out!! Like, what does it feel like? How do they do it? What does it feel like when they put the stuff in, like do you get sleepy or is more like wide awake to instantly out? Could you have stayed awake if you would have tried or is it impossible? Haha. Basically whatever you remember about that part would be helpful. Thanks so much!

Hi! Honestly I don't remember it at all, I counted down from 10 and don't even remember getting to 6. Next thing I knew, I was waking up in the recovery room. They put a mask over your mouth/nose and I think that releases gas that you inhale that puts you to sleep. I remember feeling drowsy while I was counting down and it would have been impossible to stay awake!

This was helpful. I wish I had started at 27 lol And wish my insurance would cover this, but of course it doesn't.

My insurance covers 10 cycles. What does each cycle mean? Do normal people need 1-2 cycles only?

[@wangchristy]

definitely a question for your insurance company! they should be able to break it down for you and explain how they define a cycle (every insurer can be different in terminology)

[@Emilyghe]

If I fail at injection, can I see a nurse every day for the injection?

[@wangchristy]

depends on the services available to you! my insurance/clinic had an option but I believe it was $40 per visit
