ANECDOTE

Faye's Personal Reason For Freezing At 26

  • Faye froze eggs at 26 partly to reduce pressure around partner timing and future family planning.
  • She framed it as creating protections and options, not an insurance policy she expects to use immediately.
ADVICE

Use Home Semen Tests Only As A Screen

  • Use at‑home semen kits only as a first screen; they miss sperm morphology so abnormal results will still need lab analysis.
  • If at-home results are normal twice, lab testing may not be necessary immediately.
ADVICE

Ask To Tailor Protocols And Reduce Injections

  • Tell your clinic if you are needle phobic; protocols can reduce injection burden using oral progesterone instead of some injections.
  • Rotate injection sites, use thighs as alternatives, and ask nurses for technique tips to reduce bruising.
