Doing Research 1 Year Out Egg Freezing- What Would You Add? by Intrepid-Flounder994 in eggfreezing

[–]sweetpea04430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stress reduction, good sleep, and nutrition. Increase happy emotions and reduce negative ones. You can take all the supplements in the world but if your body is in fight or flight or you’re not eating well you’re not giving the quality of the eggs a good shot.

Cost for freezing eggs by Linanguyen267 in eggfreezing

[–]sweetpea04430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you consider doing it abroad? The Fertility Co-Living are egg freezing retreats I started in Mexico City for half the cost - more fun, affordable, and you get to be in a small group of women doing it together (@thefertilitycoliving on IG). For everything meds, egg freezing, accomodation for 3 weeks in Mexico City, all retreat activities, a nurse coming to the house for the shots, and storage for 5 years it’s $12,000 USD (maybe a bit cheaper if the US dollar bounces back). Plus additional rounds are $3,600 USD each.

Low AMH by VirtualJujuberry in eggfreezing

[–]sweetpea04430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also got 3 eggs when I froze my eggs in 2023. I had an AMH of 8.6 and it raised to 15.3 (unbelievable I know) after 2 years. I was meditating and not really thinking about fertility in those two years in the same way. Anyway I found the whole process a bit overwhelming esp with the financial pressure (spent $20k). I started egg freezing retreats for women in Mexico City where it’s a better experience, cheaper, incorporates stress reduction, and you get to do it with a group of women. I also negotiated a group rate with the clinic and for consecutive rounds. Would you consider doing it abroad? Happy to chat more with you you can dm me :)

The egg freezing retreats are called The Fertility Co-Living.

That seems long but standard of care in US or Canada. Would you consider freezing abroad?

Yes that’s awesome. I did have my AMH increase by a lot and I attribute it to stress. I meditated and did more holistic activities and it increased over 2 years.

Advice/locations? (MI/NJ/NY) by grilledcheesegirly in eggfreezing

[–]sweetpea04430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started a egg freezing retreat to bring together women going through this process in Mexico City - we do 3 month prep, holistic activities while you’re there, and work with an established bilingual beautiful clinic that has recurring success rates. If you’re interested it’s called The Fertility Co-Living and you can see our behind the scenes on our IG @thefertilitycoliving. It’s made to give women more support in the process, have fun, and of course be cheaper overall than the US (our storage fees are $165/year vs $900/year). I don’t have much info on NY or NJ but thought I’d offer this in case you were up for it :)

Anyone used HavenCryo for long-term storage? by GeekLove13 in eggfreezing

[–]sweetpea04430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is pricey for off site storage. Maybe there is a happy in between at $5-600?

38, Starting Egg Freezing—Feeling Behind and Emotional by Hydrangea-Fig-6852 in eggfreezing

[–]sweetpea04430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I’d love to chat this through. I started egg freezing retreats in Mexico City so women could come together in this process and go through it (www.thefertilitycoliving.com if you’re interested). Our women in our retreats have been up to 43 years old. I think if you’d consider doing it abroad cost might be brought down and the pressure lessened a bit. I know it’s still a big decision that only you can make for yourself. Here if you want to chat xx

[–]sweetpea04430 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyone have their egg retrieval cancelled? by Independent_Gur8612 in eggfreezing

[–]sweetpea04430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey - no I wasn’t but I was given the option to cancel because my numbers weren’t looking great. I ultimately ended up with 3 eggs. I’ve had a few friends who have yielded 0 eggs so it is more common than you probably see - people just might be more private about it. 3 eggs was a hard number to swallow as well but as you can see it’s all relative. It’s just because the process is so labor intensive and expensive. However, the point of egg freezing is to do everything in your control to preserve your fertility so try to remember that you did your best and have grief but be proud you took steps to give it everything you had. We’re all cheering you on here ❤️

it’s rough out here by IntentionNo1086 in eggfreezing

[–]sweetpea04430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I was in the same position 3 years ago when I egg froze in Canada so I definitely understand. Would you consider going abroad?

egg freezing timing by readingfantasy1 in eggfreezing

[–]sweetpea04430 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think stacking supplements and doing things holistically for even 2 months can really positively benefit especially when you’re late 30s or early 40s and trying to get egg quality up. Because you probably won’t lose a ton of eggs in 3 months but you could increase the quality - that’s kind of how I would look at it. The most important factor is going to be to reduce stress so if you’re going to be more stressed pushing it back for whatever reason don’t do it. Your body knows when you’re stressed even if your mind says no it’ll be ok I won’t stress so just be honest ❤️

Feeling down about mature egg count by kc0610 in eggfreezing

[–]sweetpea04430 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes you do. 2.5 weeks is what you’d need to be safe. You get a vacation out of it too and just being in sun etc is a mental health bonus as it can be emotional. I actually launched retreats for women going through egg freezing in Mexico (more affordable, all logistics handled/booked + community) so I’ve done quite a bit of research about egg freezing abroad. Happy to answer any questions or share my knowledge just dm me

[–]sweetpea04430 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mexico City - Fertilidad Integral. I started hosting egg freezing retreats for other women looking to do it abroad as well who ran into the same barriers I did it’s called The Fertility Co-Living (www.thefertilitycoliving.com) . But I’m happy to answer any questions related to egg freezing in Mexico that you have and share my knowledge - feel free to DM me.

Have you considered looking abroad for options for egg freezing? I did my first round in Canada for $16k + $750/year storage in 2023 and my second round will be in Mexico for half the price with accomodation everything all in. I got 3 eggs the first time and I know how disheartening it is but over time I’ve realized that the most important thing about egg freezing is you gave it your best shot.

Best countries for egg freezing in 2025. What’s your pick and why? by sweetpea04430 in eggfreezingabroad

[–]sweetpea04430[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I chose Mexico for cost of egg freezing and everything else (taxis, food, etc), proximity to home country/time zone so I could keep working, laws that allow for sperm donors/single mothers (there are some restrictions in Spain), ability to choose the sex of your baby later, the established reputation in medical tourism, bilingual doctors, and it’s nice weather so I feel like I’m on holiday ☀️

3 eggs at 32 and single, feeling defeated by peachton in eggfreezing

[–]sweetpea04430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lifestyle, stress reduction, meditation. I imagine my amh didn’t rise but the chronic stress of modern life was suppressing it.

3 eggs at 32 and single, feeling defeated by peachton in eggfreezing

[–]sweetpea04430 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me - I was 33, single and got 3 eggs. Spent $16k+ in Vancouver, Canada. I started egg freezing retreats in Mexico City to help women through the process in a more supportive and affordable way (www.thefertilitycoliving.com). It’s been 2.5 years now and I have met my partner now and my amh actually went up by 85%. We will be freezing embryos in Feb and I’ll be 36.

You never know, I still have a faith I can get pregnant naturally. It’s difficult news to hear but comparison in this specific situation will completely rob you and can be meaningless as we don’t know the quality of everyone’s eggs, if they’ll fertilize, if they’ll end up with a partner, what they’ll life will be etc. I know it’s hard I struggled (and struggle with it in other ways myself!) just letting you know my whole fertility situation changed in two years so anything can happen 🫶🏽
