When I’m down, I try and think of 10 positive things. I make my kids do it too. When they complain, I say OK! Now name 10 things [you] love!” BELL'S OTHER STRATEGIES FOR MANAGING ANXIETY You oughta know Women have more options than ever when it comes to fertility. One method? Egg freezing. Reporter Nicole Pajer chatted with experts this week on the process, from when to consider it, to what you can expect if you decide to go that route. Here’s what you should know: Timing can matter but there’s no “perfect” age. Women who are thinking about freezing their eggs may want to consider the procedure during their late 20s to early 30s. However, there’s no exact, “ideal” age for egg freezing. It depends on your health history, how many eggs you have in your reserve (there’s a test for that!) and your own timeline for having a family. Egg freezing takes just about two weeks. Once you move forward with freezing your eggs, you’ll have to perform at-home hormone injections to stimulate your ovaries into producing multiple eggs in one menstrual cycle. The process from start to finish — injections to retrieval — can take just under two weeks.
