Egg freezing or the literal freezing of the egg cells has become a trend among women last year. Upon its introduction to the public, many mothers or parents in general helped foot the bill so that their daughter's aging eggs can be spared, so that they can be used later on when the right time comes.
Yahoo! Shine reported that the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists are now against this trending technology. The committee has even issued a blunt statement about women "in their late 20s and 30s who are planning to freeze their eggs in hopes of extending their biological clock." And based on the organization's message, many doctors are against egg freezing.
Dr. Samantha Butts of the sad committee spoke to Today and said, "We don't want to give patients the impression that this technology," which has been available in the US for a decade, "can guarantee a successful pregnancy."
Butts added that although many doctors would recommend this technology who are battling with cancer or those who, for some reason, are in danger of losing their fertility, they "are not endorsing widespread use of egg freezing for women who want to delay motherhood."
Butts explained that a more frank discussion between OB-GYNs and their patients would be the better option. She added that there are many other options available for women who want to get pregnant at a younger age without a partner and for those who want to conceive babies even after their prime child-bearing years.
