71) THE DOCTOR WHO MADE EGG FREEZING MAKE SENSE — FINALLY

Forget polished fertility ads and sugar-coated promises. In this episode, Dr. Sarah Mikowski sits down with IVF Daddies and lays out the raw facts about egg freezing: the decline of egg quality, what your “optimal age” really looks like, the emotional and physical dose of hormonal treatment, and the stats that nobody wants you to know.

We’re calling out the industry, answering your “what if’s” and “should I’s,” and giving you the freedom to plan YOUR body, not someone else’s timeline.

You’ll walk away knowing:
• When egg freezing actually gives you a statistical advantage
• Why “egg quality” matters more than “egg count”
• What the injections + retrieval really feel like
• How lifestyle, age and partner-status factor in (spoiler: you don’t need a partner)
• How egg freezing doesn’t ruin your future fertility—but you still need to act with eyes wide open

👉 WATCH & LISTEN NOW — because your biological clock shouldn’t be driven by fear, but by data + choice.
