First, let me thank you for putting this uncomfortable conversation out there. I too have struggled with these issues, and have had to make some hard choices – ones that I never imagined myself having to make. (let’s face it – when you’re 16, or even 20, you don’t think to yourself “one day I want to grow up and freeze my eggs, just in case…”) I don’t think that all women should be made to feel that their life is somehow “incomplete” if they don’t have children. It is a different journey than most, but equally fulfilling in a different way. We shouldn’t punish each other for our choices. Freezing eggs is terribly expensive, painful and invasive, and doesn’t necessarily give you the outcome you want. But if you know it’s your destiny in life to be a mother (and you haven’t yet met the one) – freezing your eggs is a way to ease that anxiety. Again, it’s all about choice. We are very lucky to have choices – the women through history before us – motherless and not – fought for our right to have choices about what we can do with our lives. So instead of judging each other if we make a choice that’s outside the “norm” – that is a good thing. As Jennifer Aniston said in a recent interview, “we’re all mothering in some way” – just because we don’t have a child doesn’t mean we aren’t compassionate, caring, nurturing. It doesn’t mean that we can’t make a huge impact on someone else’s life—(hello, teachers???). I applaud your decision. You are making a difference in the lives of those around you – including your niece and nephew. You’re showing them what success, independence, and strength are. Thanks again for sharing.

Kelly, I can’t tell you how much your comment means to me. Thank you for reading and for sharing your thoughts as well. I think this is a tough subject, but oddly something people are becoming more and more open about (and asking about!).
