Advantages of egg freezing

Watch Shruti Malik, M.D., from Shady Grove Fertility’s Fair Oaks, VA office, discuss the advantages of egg freezing. Dr. Malik has been through the egg freezing process herself and truly knows the benefits.

Dr. Malik said that freezing her eggs was the best decision of her life. She expanded on that sentiment by saying:

Freezing my eggs has been a great benefit both personally and professionally.

I’ve enhanced my knowledge of the egg freezing procedure with personal experience. Sharing my story at Shady Grove Fertility helps put patients at ease. From the fertility drugs to the anxiety about test results, I know how it feels to be the patient rather than the doctor.

Fertility preservation has given me flexibility in family planning. I can decide when I’d like to become pregnant without rushing into a relationship to immediately start my family. I like being able to pursue my career and have time to find the right partner to move forward with.

Just like many of you reading this, I was anxious about the egg freezing process. But now I have no regrets about my decision. Understanding my test results and my options empowered me to make an investment in my future family. Hopefully my story can do the same for you.
