Freezing eggs is not as easy as it sounds – it takes a lot of effort for any woman to go through and the process is known to be quite expensive. These 5 celebrities have spoken on the subject. Some decided to go through with it, as they felt they were getting older but still may want to have a child in the future, while others are currently just considering the idea of freezing their eggs while they are still in their prime. Here is what they’ve said on the topic.
Bridget Marquardt
Bridget had her eggs frozen and felt it was worth the effort: “I went and had my eggs harvested. Looking back I was like, ‘It was easy,’ but it wasn’t that easy. It’s a lot of medication, a lot of hormones. You have to inject yourself in the stomach and I’m so terrified of needles! It was a difficult thing for me to do … I think that it was 100 percent worth it. I don’t feel that clock ticking. I’m not really worried about it. At the same time I would like to have kids someday, but I’m not one of those people who’s dying to have kids. If it doesn’t happen or if I decide to adopt later, that’s fine, too.”
Janet Jackson
Janet reveals that her doctor thinks she should have it done because of her age: “My doctor is thinking about making me have my eggs frozen, believe you me.”
Maria Menounos
Maria sees it as insurance in case she wants children: “I am going to freeze my eggs … I’m 33, and I decided that I know I have a couple of years of work I want to get to, and then do it. I figured this is kind of an insurance policy.”
Sarah Harding
Sarah has started to think about it: “It does get harder to see other people have something that you want. I’ve even got to the age now where I occasionally find myself wondering, ‘Do I need to start thinking about freezing my eggs?’ I do feel my biological clock is ticking and while I’m not ready right now, I do want to be a mum one day. My mum was 39 when she had me and I’d always hoped to start a family before that. I still have a few years to go but I do go through stages where it plays on my mind.”
Sofia Vergara
Sofia froze her eggs just to plan ahead for another baby: “I just wanted to plan ahead. I have my son, Manolo, so it’s not an emergency for me to have another kid, but for Nicky, he’s never had a baby. Nothing happens that naturally anymore. I wanted to take advantage of science. Why not?”
