@nytopinion @eleanorbarkhorn “All the talk in the beginning was about how egg freezing would be as big as the birth control pill and liberate women,” Janet Takefman, a reproductive health psychologist @cusm_muhc who has counseled more than 200 women considering egg freezing.
@nytopinion @eleanorbarkhorn @cusm_muhc On why fewer women returned to thaw them than expected ... “Maybe the others decided they weren’t going to use them," says Dr. James Grifo @nyulangone. "I know that some had babies naturally. It’s hard to keep track because patients don’t tell us.”
THREAD ‘Should the NHS fund social egg freezing for women aged 30-35? As an active researcher with multiple papers published on this topic I would say no for EIGHT reasons. Here we go... #bbcwato
1) Such a move would put further undue responsibility on women for ensuring appropriately timed conception and where there is ‘responsibility’ there is always BLAME!
2) It puts assumedly HEALTHY women through the (not risk or pain free) process of IVF potentially unnecessarily #medicalisation #bbcwato
