The intensity of pain and grief one can feel when they or their spouse have fertility issues is tough to convey. Most people have no idea what a hell this fertility thing can be. It's such a lonely condition, no one wants to talk about it, and no one wants to hear about it.
And when someone makes a juvenile joke about eggs, wombs, etc. around me and my wife or if we get some dumbass comment like "when are you going to have another kid?", I can tell you that that person is PERMANENTLY tainted with the #asshole hashtag and we're probably going to have a tearfilled conversation that night. If you fancy yourself a comedian and you want to make some jokes about procreation, don't be shocked when friends fall away from you.
I don't know if egg freezing should be recommended, whether it might lead to birth defects or developmental issues, etc. But, if it were available to me and my wife early in our marriage and we knew we might have troubles, I think we might have sprung for it.
Here's my PSA: age 35 is when egg quality and quantity starts to decline precipitously for most women. If you're interested in doing this egg freezing or embryo freezing thing, plan to get it done well before age 35 (like age 30, just to be safe.)
