Beyond Expectations

Kate Lancaster On What They Don’t Tell You About Egg Freezing

Listen on

Episode notes

Egg freezing is becoming more popular, and with good reason. Women are delaying starting a family, and the process of egg freezing can seem like a really smart insurance plan for your future fertility. But what does it actually involve? How do you prepare for it? And how does it help your chances of falling pregnant ‘naturally’? 

Sydney-based brand consultant, podcaster, and Substack author Kate Lancaster shares the reality of freezing her own eggs at the age 33—and how she feels about her fertility now, one year on from finalising the process.
