All you ever wanted to know (and probably a few bits that you didn’t) about egg freezing. What does it involve? What are the success rates? Will the hormones make me sad? And is it really true that a woman’s ovaries swell to the size of melons? Writer and host Sophia Money-Coutts is 35, single and having her eggs frozen. In this podcast, she shares her audio diaries of the whole process, from choosing a fertility clinic to the operation itself, along with the ups (and downs) of undergoing an emotional and hormonal procedure. She also investigates the science behind egg freezing and its rapid growth in popularity, and speaks to fertility experts and women who’ve gone through freezing about their experience of the procedure. Plus, she has the odd chat with her mum.

10. A Visit to Jurassic Park

In the days after my operation, I bloat like a water balloon and recover on my mum’s sofa while waiting for what turns out to be a mega-period (that’s the technical term, right?) I tell poor producer Hannah all about my recovery, and we head back to The Lister for a debrief with Dr James about what happened during my collection and immediately afterwards. We’re also given a very special tour around the lab, and see the very tank which is storing my eggs, which makes me think about what happens next…
