Black women are often under-referred for fertility preservation options, like egg freezing, even though fertility awareness is crucial for planning your future. Let’s test what you know about egg freezing and when it should be discussed.
Question:
When should your doctor refer you for consideration of freezing your eggs?
🔹 In your early 20s, to preserve the most eggs.
🔹 In your late 20s to early 30s, when egg quality is still high but you’re thinking about delaying pregnancy.
🔹 In your mid-to-late 30s, when fertility starts to decline significantly.
🔹 After age 40, when your doctor feels you’re running out of time to conceive naturally.
🔹 I’m not sure.
