The Importance of Prioritizing Egg Quality and Health Before Freezing Your Eggs

In our fast-paced world, many women in their late twenties and throughout their thirties are facing an increasing dilemma: the ticking clock of their biological clocks. The option to freeze eggs offers hope for delayed conception, but it's essential to recognize that the quality of your eggs and the overall health of your body profoundly affect the success of this procedure. Before jumping into egg freezing, it's vital to pause and prioritize your foundational health, including managing stress.

We understand the pressures and anxieties surrounding fertility decisions. At Fab Fertile, we believe in empowering women to seize control of their fertility journey by emphasizing their health and egg quality before embarking on the egg freezing process.

Understanding the Rush

In a world where careers, personal growth, and life experiences hold immense value, it's no surprise that many women are choosing to postpone starting a family until later in life. Egg freezing appears as an appealing solution, preserving youthful eggs for future use. However, reality isn't as straightforward as it may seem. Taking just 6 months to improve your health could mean your eggs are healthier, your body is able to release more and you are able to navigate the procedure with much more ease.

The Egg Quality Dilemma

Yes - it’s true your eggs age over time. As you grow older, the quality of your eggs naturally declines. This decrease in egg quality can significantly impact the success of fertility treatments later in life. Eggs frozen at a younger age generally hold a better chance of leading to a successful pregnancy. However, is your body optimized right now? Are there underlying conditions that could be causing inflammation, chronic stress and other challenges that pausing for a moment to address them could have a larger impact than time? We believe so because we see this all the time.

Building a Strong Foundation

Before hastily proceeding with egg freezing, it's crucial to address your foundational health. The health of your eggs is intricately linked to your overall well-being. Factors such as inflammation, gut health, and the availability of essential nutrients play pivotal roles in determining the quality of your eggs.

1. Inflammation: Persistent inflammation can wreak havoc on your body and, consequently, your fertility. Identifying and tackling any underlying inflammatory issues before the egg freezing process is crucial. Through our fertility prep diet and personalized food sensitivity testing (IgG) we can help you discover exactly which foods are serving or hurting your body in this season of life so you can start taking intentional action while you prepare for your retrieval.

2. Gut Health: A well-balanced gut is vital for nutrient absorption and overall well-being. An imbalanced gut can lead to nutrient deficiencies that may adversely affect your egg quality. A stool test can tell us exactly what is going on within your body from bacterial overgrowth to parasites, leaky gut and everything in between and we can swiftly address these which, left alone will dramatically impact your egg retrieval success.

3. Nutrient Availability: Your eggs require specific nutrients to develop correctly. Ensuring that your cells have the necessary nutrients to support healthy egg development is paramount. This can be achieved not only by taking foundational supplements, but knowing through functional testing including bloodwork what your cells are missing. Then we can make sure your unique body is getting exactly what it needs to flourish and produce an abundance of healthy eggs. 

The Stress Factor

Stress is a silent but potent factor that can dramatically impact your fertility journey. High-stress levels can disrupt your hormonal balance and negatively affect your reproductive system. It's essential to manage stress effectively, whether through mindfulness practices, therapy, or lifestyle changes. We know you have probably heard this before possibly many times, yet our team at Fab Fertile takes a unique approach, diving deep with you about your current stressors, how they can be addressed and helps you make the most sustainable, realistic and impactful changes possible. 

In addition to addressing your foundational health, your lifestyle choices also significantly impact the success of egg retrieval. Inadequate sleep, dehydration, and a diet high in inflammatory foods can all hinder the outcome of your egg freezing procedure. Taking steps to manage stress, prioritize sleep, and eat a balanced, anti-inflammatory diet can make a substantial difference.
