FRIDAY, May 18, 2018 – Women who want to delay childbearing increasingly opt to freeze their eggs for future use. But some later regret the decision, new research reveals. As the procedure – called elective oocyte cryopreservation – becomes more accessible across the United States, the finding suggests women should not bank their eggs without careful consideration. "This technology is tremendous if it's the only way of having a biological child and having a family," said study author Dr. Heather Huddleston, an associate professor at the University of California, San Francisco. "But it's important that we progress thoughtfully, given all the implications this technology may have for women," she said in a university news release Women in urban areas, in particular, are using the approach to avoid age-related infertility while postponing motherhood, the researchers noted. For the study, they surveyed 201 women who had their eggs frozen for nonmedical reasons at UCSF between 2012 and 2016. None had banked their eggs because of cancer treatment or another health issue. For the procedure, women undergo about 10 days of injections to stimulate their ovaries. During this time, they have five or six ultrasounds. Once their eggs are mature, they are retrieved with a needle through the vaginal wall. The survey, completed years after the freezing procedure, found that most of the women felt empowered by their decision to freeze their eggs. Of the women polled, 89 percent believed they would be glad that they froze their eggs even if they never used them. But nearly half had mixed feelings, according to the study. Most of these women had mild regret, but 16 percent had stronger doubts. "While most women expressed positive reactions of enhanced reproductive options after freezing eggs, we were surprised to discover that for a group of women it wasn't so simple. Some even frankly regretted their choice," said study co-author Dr. Eleni Greenwood, a clinical fellow in obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive sciences. She said this is a "critical finding," although the study doesn't reveal all the reasons behind the regret. "What is clear is that egg freezing is more than just your standard insurance transaction for many women," Greenwood said. The women completed the survey, on average, about two years after freezing their eggs. By this time, only 6 percent of those polled had actually used their eggs to try and get pregnant. That suggests individual regrets were probably not tied to unsuccessful attempts to conceive a child, the researchers said. The women who had fewer eggs retrieved were more likely to have mixed feelings. Second thoughts were also more common among those who said they lacked emotional support and those who said they didn't have enough information about the procedure. "As oocyte cryopreservation takes off, we wanted to take a step back to understand how this technology might impact the trajectory of women's lives," Greenwood said. "We see this work as just the start of that conversation." The study was published May 18 in Fertility and Sterility.
I… don't get what this article is about. What are they regretting, exactly? Freezing their eggs? I don't get how that would make someone regretful in any way. I can understand regretting getting into the situation where you're a dried-up old pot roast with diminishing returns but what about freezing one's eggs is cause for self-depreciating shame?

Your confusion results from a fundamental flaw in your starting assumptions. You're assuming that women are rational.
Eli Martin
The women are probably regretting it because it helped them feel "empowered" so now they didn't go fucking to get preggers (or possibly had an abortion because of said fucking) and instead "focused on their careers."
The reasoning doesn't really matter. The reality is those women realize they were supposed to be mothers and instead they're freezing their eggs hoping to have an autistic kid in their 40s/50s when no one will use their fishy cunt to give them a "normal" kid.
Xavier Perez
It's the way that they're giving up a part of themselves. Yes, they can theoretically get it back at any time, but the fact is that they're still removing a part of themselves, and that doesn't sit well with a lot of people psychologically.
Cameron Ward
we're allowing people who can't breed to breed
sure doesn't sound like a disaster waiting to happen.
Jack Williams
The artificial womb can't get here soon enough.
Men deserve rights too. Any woman can go to a sperm bank and buy a tube of jizz from a catalog of men and fertilize her frozen egg anytime she wants. When will men get the freedom to become a father and browse a catalog of female egg donors? It will never happen though. The last thing they want is millions of men fathering large families without a female having any say in the matter. Women would become obsolete overnight.
You forgot that most women are pretty much retarded children in grown bodies. The second reason they regretted was due to lack of "emotional support." Like what the hell did they want to happen?
Jeremiah Collins
Yeah and they give away a part of themselves every month and post about it nonstop on social media.
Evan Wilson
feminism is a shit test and men keep failing it by trusting women and taking them at the word. this leaves women ruined because they want a dangerous thug to tame. women want fried ice.

the ultimate bait thread for sexually failed, frustrated, bitter, angry little boys trapped in adult male bodies.
hint: it's not women's fault that you latent homosexuals don't know how to attract females
Charles Jones
Ironic :
watching YOU pretend that you know 'what women want'
the reason you're such a whining bitch is because you can't figure out why they DON'T WANT YOU….

Here you go lad, make that dopamine rush last as long as you can.

WHY WE EXIST:
we do not exist to cure cancer we do not exist to build spaceships
we exist for the same reason that bacteria exists
we exist TO EXIST we exist so we will still exist 10,000 years from now
we exist to REPRODUCE
we are fucking machines nothing more nothing less
if your personal machine can't function you serve no purpose you're wasting precious resources
and you are the cancer that needs to be eliminated
Landon Thompson
i exist to kill breeders and usurp their resources u mad?
Adam Reed
the funniest part ?……………………..
I absolutely GUARANTEE that if I took that stupid video game controller out of your inept little hands, and I unzipped my pants, I wouldn't have to coax you or coerce you into sucking my dick….
absolutely guaranteed
you're effeminate
it's in your nature
You have nothing sexual experience under your belt, and you're frustrated, and you focus resentment towards females for your own self-imposed failure, but the truth of the matter is you have been sexually attracted to other men for a long time now…
You deny it to yourself and others, but your parents have been aware of it for a long time as well… You are a latent homosexual, too timid and meek to initiate a sexual encounter… But if a man unzipped his pants and it showed you he's dominant by stealing your video game controller from you, the little sissy girl that's hiding inside of you would suddenly come to the surface, and you would put your head in my lap and suck my dick with all your effort…
Because you're a faggot….
A dick sucking faggot, who's been too afraid to actually suck some dick….
All of your anger towards women is just a distraction technique, designed to hopefully convince people around you that you are actually a heterosexual
But you're not fooling anybody
Not even yourself
Nicholas Rogers
"i exist to kill breeders and usurp their resources", said the effeminate male with no real understanding of masculinity or what it takes to appear intimidating…..
u mad?

Wew lad, ever consider rehab? Have another

"i exist to kill breeders and usurp their resources"
That reminds me of a little sissy Faggot Boy in r9k yesterday, posting in a thread about School shooters, where he actually said, "all I want is to see a world stained in blood"
Hahaha !!
…. He said that because much like a sexually failed acne riddled teenage boy in a trailer park who can't get any pussy, and wears a black Walmart T-shirt with a skull on it, incorporating cliche predictable trendy hackneyed 'evil satanic' symbology and heavy metal music, he has no idea how to actually appear masculine or intimidating…
That's the problem with you guys….
You have no male role models, and you're only concepts of 'intimidating masculinity' have been gleaned from sissyboy comic books, star Wars movies, video games and dungeons and dragons…
HEY CAN SOMEONE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE DUMB NIGGERS IN BUNKERS UNDER MATHERFIELD AIRFORCE BASE BURNING HOLES IN MY HEAD AND MAKING ME UGLY? THEY FUCKING KILLED THE LAST PEOPLE CONTROLLING IT.!

lol@referring to 'statistics' about what women may or may not do….
statistics always lean in favor of the person's agenda who searched for the statistics in the first place
Statistics mean nothing
the only valid tangible think of any important is your real life experience… If you wanted defined the perfect female for you, all you would have to do is stop being a douchebag, because there are dozens of them within a 10 mile radius of you right now
YOU are the only reason you haven't been successful
Gabriel Evans
'just be yourself' is terrible advice
For certain people (and you know who you are) that hasn't worked so far, so why continue 'being yourself' ?
It's really not rocket science
be an IMPROVED VERSION of yourself Stop being such a fucking douchebag and start behaving with a little bit of self confidence

Not enough incels buying your PUA garbage? PUA business must be crashing since more and more men don't give a fuck about women. Quickly now, start up the shaming machine.

If rape laws were lifted your argument would have merit. No one should be safe from reproduction if that is our sole purpose.
Nathan Jones
Sad, isn't it? The feminist movement has demonized the concept of stay-at-home moms / full-time housewives. But that's actually the most rewarding, most emotionally satisfactory career that a woman can have.
Anthony Taylor
While women do menstruate I have a feeling with this egg freezing thing that they take all the eggs in one go. So now a woman of 20+ stops having periods which were a vital and normal part of their life for the past 10 or so years if they started on the early side. Also they are now unable to just randomly try for a kid naturally. It takes the possible unexpected part out. Whether it to be trapping a baby daddy or a spur of the moment with a husband in the heart of emotion. That's now made clinical.
Same. It is a non-article saying nothing about a topic that is fucking mind-numbingly boring. A bunch of cunts regret a stupid cunt thing that they did out of thoughtlessness and selfishness. If I ran the egg freezer, I'd fucking short circuit the whole building and watch them rot. These cunts don't deserve to reproduce.

if you'll ask women 'do you feel empowered because X', they'll say yes, because women believe it's a good thing to feel empowered

t. projecting beta orbiter overcompensating for the fact that he spent his entire life jumping through hoops, enduring shit tests, paying for drinks, contorting his personality and tastes to fit hers, fretting over his appearance and generally being the bitch in a relationship just to acquire some overhyped pussy attached to a vapid whore who cucked him behind his back
Jacob Rogers
So what's with the forced incel invasion meme? We can all see the UID counts for pretty much every board hasn't changed, who do you think you're fooling? Did you get tired of using "shill" as your go to screech for disrupting threads and wanted to try something new?
