Freezing your eggs is a big deal — and with big decisions come big feelings. From excitement to full-on anxiety spirals, it’s all part of the ride. Egg freezing is a power move to pause your biological clock, but let’s be real: the emotional stuff can hit just as hard as the physical.
We’ve got your back with some tips to keep your emotional wellness in check and help you feel like the badass you are through this journey.
Why are you doing this? Career goals? Waiting for the right person? A medical must-do? Getting clear on your “why” gives you confidence to own this choice, whatever your reason may be.
And while egg freezing is an amazing way to give yourself options, it’s important to keep it real: future pregnancy isn’t guaranteed. Understanding the ups and downs can help you stay grounded.
Egg freezing can feel super personal, but you don’t have to go it alone. Find your people — whether it’s your BFF, your partner, or a whole community of women who get what you’re going through. Sharing your highs, lows, and what-the-heck-is-going-on moments can be a game changer.
Pro tip: Look into online groups where women swap stories, tips, and encouragement. Talking about your journey can make it feel a little less overwhelming and a lot more empowering.
This process can be a lot. Hormones, appointments, and the waiting game can take a toll on your mind and body. So, let self-care be your new BFF.
💆♀️ Binge your favorite series.
🌿 Take a walk and soak up some nature vibes.
📚 Dive into that book you’ve been meaning to read.
☕ Treat yourself to that overpriced iced latte because, yes, you deserve it.
Oh, and if you’ve never tried mindfulness or meditation, now’s a great time to start. Just a few minutes a day can do wonders for your stress levels.
Yes, those hormones might make you cry over a TikTok or snap at someone for breathing too loudly. It’s temporary, and it’s totally okay. Let yourself feel it all — the excitement, the nerves, even the "why am I doing this?" moments.
Be kind to yourself, even when the mood swings hit. You’re doing something brave, and you’re allowed to feel all the feels.
The waiting game? It’s the worst. Whether it’s test results or the perfect timing for your cycle, it’s easy to feel impatient. Instead of spiraling into “what ifs,” focus on the here and now.
✨ Pick up a new hobby.
✨ Crush your work goals.
✨ Reconnect with friends (or that hobby you ghosted last year).
Staying busy doesn’t just make the time fly — it also keeps your mind off the anxiety traps.
First injection? You did it. Another appointment crossed off? Heck yes. Egg retrieval day? Go you! Every milestone is worth celebrating, no matter how small it feels.
And don’t forget gratitude. It sounds cheesy, but writing down what you’re thankful for (even if it’s just “I didn’t ugly cry today”) can keep your mindset positive. You’ve got this.
Worried about the process? Stressed about the future? That’s normal. Don’t shove those feelings aside — face them.
Start with your care team. They’re there to answer your questions and ease your worries. Still feeling overwhelmed? Talking to a therapist who specializes in fertility can be a total game-changer.
There’s no “right” way to feel during this process. Whether you’re riding a high or feeling all the doubts, your experience is valid. By staying in tune with your emotions, leaning on your support system, and giving yourself all the self-care vibes, you’re setting yourself up for success.
You’re taking charge of your future, and that’s pretty freaking amazing. 💪
