Choosing to have her eggs frozen was empowering for one woman, but the process was emotionally fraught. She never expected to find herself in this position.
Marcia Inhorn, an anthropology professor at Yale University, embarked on a decade-long study to understand what drives healthy women to freeze their eggs. She expected to hear that it was about fitting their fertility around ambitions and careers. But the results, she says, were “astounding.”
Another factor may be changing attitudes toward fatherhood. In her recent book, “Motherhood on Ice,” Inhorn notes that it is often men, not women, who want to delay child rearing. American women, she writes, “are waiting to find a man who is ready to have children … we need to understand why many men are now waiting, or opting out of these pathways altogether.”
Women are bombarded with advice on how to improve their egg quality. But it’s unclear how much difference these changes make and they feel “very stressful,” Megan says.
