Would love to hear a story about egg donors, sperm donors and people who chose to be surrogates. Being an egg donor is like going through part of the IVF medical process and is taxing on the body and not without risk. Same with surrogates. I know plenty of people whom have gone through IVF and I feel for people whom are desperate to have kids (but would prefer not to adopt), but I wonder about the ethics of egg donation, sperm donation, surrogacy. I would imagine that most people who donate their eggs, sperm, become surrogates do it bc they need the money, but I could be wrong. Would love to hear the other side of the story.
First time I hear a medical professional state that women should be educated on family planning .
So sad
"33"
There's that number again.
There’s my doctor!! Dr McConnell
I swear, freezing eggs is a scam.
If you have the money for it it offers the potential possibly having a baby in the future. It's better than being 47 and having zero chance at all.
And this is why I didn’t do it; unless you have endiometriosis/pros/ adeno or you are less than 30 years old and have lots of money; this is a scam.
reproductive freedom is not free. it is complicated and costly and time consuming. to have a child or plan for a child on the female side.
when roe verses way paved the way to deal with an unwanted pregnancy. a step forward for legalization of termination of an unwanted pregnancy.
with the reversal of rowe vs wade. the supreme court has set women's reproductive right back more than 50 years.
it is a very controversial issue. when is life viable?
is it when the female egg is fertilized or when the 9 months of shake and bake in the female womb and the female expelles a growth that can breathe earth air on a birthday.
my humble opinion and my perspective is from a male brain. the male half of a baby dna. is a very small part of the female reproductive process. it is the dna necessary to make the female egg complete in a full compliment of dna. basically the male sperm is need to fertilize the female egg. when it happens the female has to deal with the growth until it can breathe air. and traditionally it is another 18 years or life time commitment to the baby as it grows.
the sperm donation can come from a physical connection of physical sex between a man and a women that sex can last as short as 5 seconds or evolve into a life long commitment called love and mutual parenting. but where do we draw the line? i don't know except in a court of law.
then we have semi anonymous sperm donation. the sperm can be donated and analyzed scientifically for some genetic abnormalities. in many cases the female will be asked for what traits that the woman wants from a man to add to her half of genetic traits. some traits can be identified. like blood types and blood typing is a requirement for a marriage license.
since i am not a reproductive specialist i do not know of the complications that arise from a not good union of sperm and egg. but down syndrome and other genetic complications come to mind. and some complications appear later in life like dementia and Alzheimer's and other brain disorders. the male donation of sperm is a micro dot of dna in the life of a child.
since dna can be donated in many ways rape, incest, a consensual or non consensual intimate on tap donate anonymous semi anonymous or as a known donor without intimate contact. so my thought the male donation is only a drip in the life of the growth of the fetus and the birth of a child whether be it through the birth canal or via a cesarian (c) section.
during the 9 months of incubation and the growth of cells until the woman's body says to expell the grown fetus that is ready to breathe earth air and live a life of a human being.
more on the female side of the male female equation later. please note this is my opinion and should be consider just an opinion and the fundamental basis of america is a freedom of speech. your choice is to agree or disagree. if you disagree i would be interested in your opinion. then i can chose to change my opinion to be more aligned with your opinion. or maybe we chose just to disagree and let it be.
Abortion can be free though
Viagra is covered by insurance and yet IVF is often not.
@@mrsevergreentree
free to the female needing an abortion and has no way to pay for the surgical procedure nor the termination medication.
@@ece421 that is totally different girl😂😂
So I heard that some states are trying to make it illegal to dispose of eggs they don’t use…. So what will they do with your eggs when you pass? This all seems to be a little bit crazy.
No wayv would I want my frozen eggs being property of the State or govt....No thx
They want it illegal, because it is technically a life that is frozen, so it becomes an ethics question. The US is probably the most radicle in the way IVF is done. Other countries only allow a maximum of 3 eggs and you must implant them all, so there are no left overs.
Unused eggs can be used as a donor eggs for other families where the mother may not have the ability to retrieve her eggs or have some other cause of infertility.
@Dagmar transferring 3 embryos is incredibly dangerous and can easily result in 3 or even 4 babies which is dangerous the mother and the babies. Not sure why you think freezing embryos is an ethics question. If you don't want embryos to be frozen then the US needs to make it much for affordable. 12 to 20k dollars with no possibly of freezing extra for the future is ridiculous.
@@rebeccazeman9309 it’s an ethics question when you believe a life was created and then frozen. Possibly forever. Not to mention IVF pregnancies are always considered high risk, so intentionally putting women at risk also doesn’t seem entirely healthy. IVF is a very complex topic with factors most people don’t think about. People should wait to do IVF until they have a full idea of how it works.
25 is too late to talk to patients about family planning!! The conversation should start at 18!! Young women need to know early rather than late. In know too many women suffering from infertility issues
Adoption 👏adoption 👏adoption 👏
Adoption isn't actually a solution for pregnancy. It's not even close to the same thing as carrying your own child and if you go the adoption route it comes with lots of trauma. On top of that it's not actually cheaper to adopt.
How many kids have you adopted? It’s not the same as having your own child. Many adopted kids are mentally disturbed.
@@MysteryExodus since I’m still a child none.
Famous comedian froze 30 eggs at 38 and only one embryo took. Kourtney Kardashian said freezing eggs caused her to go into early menopause. You need to freeze at least 100 eggs to be on the safe side. And embryos are more viable than just freezing eggs. Also eggs only last 10 years frozen. It's a waste of money.
Not true woman are born with hundreds of thousands of eggs to use. Taking 10 or 20 during a cycle is not going to put you into early menopause. The eggs don't last 10 years they last indefinitely you can freeze them and 40 years from now and produce a child from them. The 10 years only came about because the UK only let women store them for 10 years- not that they're only good for 10 years. The report stated that you need about 25 eggs to produce one child on average. Nowhere does it state they need a hundred eggs to have a kid. Also 38 is a little old to be doing egg freezing which is why they didn't get optimal results. Ideally you want to do it 35 or younger. The older you do it the less viable embryos you will get.
It’s no guarantee obviously
Only 30% are viable???!😫
That's why they recommend freezing a certain number depending on how many children you want
Someone should explain to these ppl that pumping your body fulll of hormones to stimulate anything. That can have a very negative impact on your boby down the line b/c they are messing with their bodies natural hormone level.
Agreed !
@@elviamartinez4162 the headline in 2040 " why are all these women dying from c@ncer after they went through IVF"
Not true there have been silver studies that show that do multiple rounds of IVF do not increase your rate of cancer. There is a study in Europe that studied thousands of cycles and didn't see any increase in rate of cancer.
Wow, so there’s really no point of egg freezing
Why would you say that?
@@sxonly well, it seems this because there’s a better chance of it failing
30% is more than 0%
Always though this whole concept was interesting/bizarre,like there are kids out there that could use homes.
Not really. I wouldn't want adopted kids. A lot of times mothers are on drugs during pregnancy and they have major psychological issues.
@@sxonly so you’d rather pump your body full of unnecessary unhealthy hormones, has consequences but you want to take the chance. Freezing eggs doesn’t necessarily guarantee a child.
You can have a biological child with psychological issues. What an ignorant comment.
@@MillennialMountainMama so agree,I mean look at what’s going on these past year but so many are in denial that mental health issues is on the rise😒
Any person (Karen) who speaks of "their journey " that does not involve travelling is a narcissist.
