Are there genetic diseases in your family?
Women who conceive the natural way tend to have tests run once they’re already pregnant to determine whether or not the embryo carries genetically inherited diseases. Discovering that this is true, once already pregnant, and that the embryo has a condition that will make their life incredibly difficult leads to a heartbreaking and impossible decision for pregnant women about what to do next. One of the benefits of egg freezing is that your eggs can be tested for genetically inherited diseases before you even become pregnant, so you can make the decision of whether or not to go through with pregnancy in advance.
