Who are the women sitting in the waiting room with faraway eyes and brochures about egg freezing in their hands?It’s easiest to categorize them into two strikingly different groups. One group is made up of women who face illnesses that impact fertility, including endometriosis and cancer. On the advice of their doctors and supported by families and sometimes a husband, they’re making this choice to ensure that one day, following surgery or chemo, they still have the chance to mother their own biological children. The other group includes women who hurriedly speak about jobs with late hours and business trips and little time to meet guys. Even though it seems impossible within their current, busy lives, these women hold on to the hope that some far off day in the future they will have the option to have their own children should they wish to do so.
