Childless women don’t know much about egg freezing options

Reuters featured a UBC study that suggests most childless women still lack knowledge about the costs and viability of freezing their eggs to preserve their fertility.

“Delaying childbearing until later years is becoming an international trend, and there’s an interesting assumption that women are being selfish and choosing their careers, travel or personal agendas over kids,” said lead study author and UBC counselling psychology professor Judith Daniluk.

“In fact, it appears that women are stuck between a rock and a hard place because they’re considering the cost of raising children, the cost of daycare and the suitability of a partner.”
