Mehreen Joins The List Of Celebrities Preserving Eggs

Women preserving their eggs to get pregnant in later days has been increasing. This has become a trend specifically among the celebrities as they plan to become mother during their mid age. The egg quality in women gradually decreases with the age. So, preserving their healthy eggs during their young age is definitely a welcoming step. Technology too providing safe and secure methods for this process.

This iss steadily gaining acceptance in India. Actresses like Mrunal Thakur and now Mehreen Pirzada have openly discussed their decision to undergo this process, empowering other women. After Mrunal spoke about her plans to preserve her eggs, Mehreen took a step ahead and did the procedure. She has preserved her eggs for her future motherhood.

Mehreen recently shared a heartfelt post detailing her egg-freezing journey with a video which became viral. She spoke about the challenges, from overcoming a needle phobia to navigating hormonal fluctuations. However, she said that she has been trying to do it since the last two years and even though about revealing it openly or keeping it to herself. But, finally decided about the empowerment it brings, allowing women to prioritize their careers and personal timelines without jeopardizing their dream of motherhood.

This openness from celebrities is a significant step forward. Traditionally, societal pressures and a lack of awareness have discouraged women from exploring egg freezing. By sharing their experiences, actresses like Mrunal and Mehreen are chipping away at the stigma and normalizing the conversation. However, there is always criticism that traditional pregnancy is the right thing to do than freezing eggs and opting for surrogacy, which is a debate for another time. 

Mehreen writes, " After 2 years of trying to make up my mind to go through this process I’m so happy that I finally did it 🧿 🪬

I was contemplating whether to share something so personal or not. But then I thought to myself that there are so many women like me who haven’t yet decided when to get married or have a baby and I think it’s very important to safeguard yourself for the future. I think all women should do this to avoid complications later on.

We don’t talk about this much as it is considered to be a “taboo” topic. With the help of technology, we are able to make better decisions for ourselves so why not? It’s my dream to become a mother and I didn’t want to throw it away just because I was a few years late.

Did it hurt? Sometimes. Was it challenging? A lot. Especially for someone like me who has a phobia of needles, blood and hospitals. I faint everytime I go to a hospital 😵‍💫

The constant emotional turmoil that you’re going through because of all the hormonal injections is not easy. But if you ask me - was it worth it?? HELL YES!

Whatever you chose to do, just do it for you 🐣🎀💙
