What people said
Don't worry, it's got nothing to do with your life
How about Contrail? (a champion racehorse/sire)
wouldn't it be better to freeze your eggs in your early twenties?
By the way, apparently they use liquid nitrogen for the freezing
Don't come complaining if the frozen stuff turns out useless when the time comes
Apparently they can crack when thawed, and there's a miscarriage risk too
You'd need at least 10 frozen to be safe
Glad it didn't turn into peritonitis
"Look at me! I'm cutting-edge — follow my lead, everyone!"
A happy person.
Equinox?
There were a few older couples at daycare too,
but it felt like grandparents dropping the grandkids off.
Even people around them couldn't tell if they were the parents or the grandparents,
and it was genuinely hard to know how to talk to them
Background and Key Points of This Topic
Egg freezing is a technology meant to guard against the age-related decline in fertility, and in recent years some local governments, including the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, have begun subsidizing testing and freezing costs for single women. However, it’s a common misconception that having frozen eggs guarantees a future pregnancy — survival and fertilization rates after thawing depend heavily on age and the number of eggs frozen. Reactions in the thread split into three camps: joking suggestions that she simply go find a husband, comments raising the real risks and medical caveats of egg freezing, and questions about her motives for revealing something so personal. The fact that Nakagawa is a recognizable former NHK announcer also fueled both the volume and the range of reactions.
