In more detail, Samara stated:
“If I had frozen my eggs while in a relationship and we later broke up, I wouldn’t be able to use them. There was a consent requirement from the man regarding my eggs. If we separated, I wouldn’t have been able to use them. Things like this happen, and honestly, let them write about bikinis instead. It drives me crazy. This really shocked me when I heard it.”

She continued:
“I think there’s a general lack of awareness about the process. I believe the sense of pressure exists consciously and unconsciously within us. Socially, it’s ingrained. Consciously, no one pressured me, nor did I feel direct pressure. But I’m certain that socially, it’s there. Because I wasn’t sure if or when I wanted children, and when I saw my AMH levels decreasing, my doctor suggested I freeze my eggs, which triggered anxiety about needing to make a decision.”
