Sorry to whoever designed the human body but, there are a few equations that are a just a little off—like the one that claims our eggs start to die and diminish in quality before we’ve even had a shot at our careers. The fact that the best time to have babies also happens to be the worst years for our bank accounts just doesn’t make sense. Let’s not even get into the fact that most of us don’t even know who we are, and are not nearly mature enough to be parents yet during our most fertile years. The math there is just a bit…off. Luckily, many women don’t need to choose between having babies and having a career/life because we can do things like freeze our eggs, and just procreate when we’re ready. Right…? Maybe. Should you freeze your eggs? Here’s what you should know.
