The fertility conversation we’re not having – but should be

No one teaches us about timing when it comes to fertility.

We move through life assuming there’s endless space to make these decisions – until one day, we realise the window isn’t as open as we thought.

Across the world, more women are courageously speaking out about infertility.

Their stories often carry a similar thread: I wish I had known sooner.

Many wonder why their doctors never raised the possibility of egg freezing or the importance of considering children earlier, before choices became limited.

I decided to freeze my eggs in my twenties.

It wasn’t prompted by a diagnosis – it was a conscious decision to protect my options.

I wanted the freedom to plan for the future without fearing that I had run out of time.

When I talk to other women about this experience, I hear the same reflections again and again: I should have done it earlier.

Regret often comes from not freezing eggs at a stage when quality and quantity were at their best.

This is why open, honest education is essential.

Fertility shouldn’t be a mystery we stumble into – it should be knowledge we all have the right to access.

PreservHer exists to change that. To empower women with the facts, the choices, and the confidence to take control of their future fertility.
