Taking Qs on freezing my eggs (despite not wanting to reproduce)
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 23rd, 2026 11:12 PM Author: oomox I am 100% sure I don't want to bring a new life into this world, but at 32, I decided that I should freeze some eggs just in case something changed in some impossible-to-anticipate way in the distant future. My plan is to foster/adopt, but I wanted to have a plan B in case something makes that impossible and I still want to be a parent.
I also partly pursued this because I was interested in seeing my numbers. The women in my family have always been extremely fertile, and I knew that my numbers would be great, but holy shit they were practically off the charts, exceptional for a woman of ANY age, not just an almost-33yo. At my ultrasound at the consultation the doctor literally said "it's an egg factory in here!" lmfao. Here are my numbers if you want to fact check just how exceptional they are: AFC=32, cd3 AMH=5.03, cd3 inhibin B=159, cd3 FSH=4.06, cd3 estradiol=27.9, no PCOS
Due to my ABUNDANT RESERVE and HIGH HORMONAL RESPONSIVENESS the doctor put me on a very conservative cycle. I ended up freezing 25 mature eggs, which is basically the optimal outcome. Any more and it would've been painful for me. The process involved injecting myself multiple times per day, which quickly got rid of my fear of needles. It was pretty intense but now it's a skill I have if I ever need to do it again. |

Date: May 23rd, 2026 11:17 PM Author: oomox Yeah like I really don't think I'll need them but I feel better having them.
PLUS even just the testing part was really worthwhile; now I know I will likely have a very large window for natural conception, which everyone figured anyway, as I read as obviously fertile due to WHR etc. |

Date: May 23rd, 2026 11:19 PM Author: The Penis I think more xo males should freeze their cum honestly. Much cheaper than egg freezing. And since everyone here is balding with poor diets and on hard drugs, most will be infertile by like 45 max. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5868567&forum_id=2#49897443) |

Date: May 23rd, 2026 11:22 PM Author: icanseemyneurons i think the obvious question here is wouldn't this affect the offspring? in regular sex with man reproduction the egg would be timed with your life circumstances upon meeting him causing a serendipitous child creation. in the freezing scenario, the eggs are pre-serendipitous. discuss.

Date: May 23rd, 2026 11:25 PM Author: oomox You mean like would it be a different person? I don't think it's meaningfully different from like if you naturally conceived at 3:01 AM vs. 3:02 AM. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5868567&forum_id=2#49897456) |

|
Date: May 23rd, 2026 11:27 PM Author: oomox Well in my example it would be a different sperm. Either way it's just that the DNA combined under different circumstances so it's just Different but no one path is more or less serendipitous.

|
Date: May 23rd, 2026 11:29 PM Author: icanseemyneurons right, the sperm would be more similar than true reproductive intercourse, though also not identical. but the egg exaggerates this difference to a level that would have substantial consequence if you think, as I do, that your body is coordinating egg drops to align with your anticipated reproductive year.

|
Date: May 23rd, 2026 11:33 PM Author: oomox Well I'll only be using this in a scenario where it isn't possible to reproduce naturally in my desired reproductive year. So it's either existence borne of a thawed, exceptional-quality 32yo egg, or no existence at all. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5868567&forum_id=2#49897467) |
|
Date: May 23rd, 2026 11:36 PM Author: icanseemyneurons there are a substantial number of years where it's not obvious it would be impossible, no? my point isnt to argue the minutiae, but about how consciously engineering a birth could introduce a sub-optimal timeline. it could also introduce a better timeline. it was just a question about this issue (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5868567&forum_id=2#49897470) |
|
Date: May 23rd, 2026 11:47 PM Author: oomox Yeah, based on my stats, I'm confident I have a wide window in which I could conceive naturally with ease. If I somehow changed my mind and decided to reproduce, it would certainly be worth trying until at least 45. I just turned 35. But it's not infinite. At some point I won't have 30+ exceptional-quality eggs hanging around in my ovaries each month waiting to get chosen. I'll have none at all.
I was thinking of the "better timeline" possibility too, but I think it's cleaner if you don't try to make a judgment on that, just consider the fact that I'll only be using this if there's no way I can Recruit an egg Contemporaneously. It's the only possible path at that point, the point where I decide I want to reproduce. |

Date: May 23rd, 2026 11:53 PM Author: icanseemyneurons can you test the eggs and pick the one you like best? if so then this is an even better idea (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5868567&forum_id=2#49897509) |
