Augmenting Practice of Freezing Eggs in Women in View of Post Pandemic World.

Since the outbreak of the noval corona virus 2019, everything has been changed. People came to know about an entirely new perspective of living their lives. Everyone around the globe has felt something different in their own lives and have started working to either change it or enjoy it. People, who were staying alone in these tough times, have definitely gone through much more as compared to all of us.

 

Amongst these, a lot of women felt very lonely and started developing an urge to have their own babies. As we know being a mother can be the greatest feeling of all times. But they don't know about their future mates like when they will meet them and will their body be biologically acceptable at that time. So for the matter of fact, a lot of women have started to freeze their eggs in these post covid times.

 

Studies indicates that there has been an exponential increase in the women who are looking forward to freeze their eggs. These bleak and unpredictable times have been a good source of reset for everyone. Expenses have also been directed to different things rather than spending on travelling and other non-essentials

 

The main reason that can be attributed behind this exponential growth is women getting more time with themselves and able to explore what is really important to them in life and what is not. Many have started realizing the importance of family and their closed ones. The time which was spent alone made them feel more alone and empty than ever.

 

According to the study published by Monash group, there has been a 24% and 134% increase in Victoria and Queensland respectively amongst the women opting for freezing their eggs. A significant population opting for the same is in their 30s.

 

In younger women there has been a upswing in demand for freezing eggs from past two to three years as who could afford it financially acted to manage their own fertility.

 

Apart from all the financial and societal conditions, a major difference which is being observed is the cultural change which is quite observant. Earlier women in their late 30s started realizing this but now more women in their young age have started opting it and started talking about it in their workplaces.

 

Freezing cannot be a guarantee of successful pregnancy and a large number of eggs are required to increase their chances of success which could be slightly more expensive. Cycles cost around 2 lakh Rupees INR
