I guess you'd have to ask them that. That's their decision. Which was my original point.

Ask them what? The whole point in having their eggs frozen is so they can have kids after nature won't let them.........

Yes as you get older into your 40's which is my point, and what does a woman do at that point then when she's climbed the ladder, retire so she can raise her kids? cos she won't fit in her swanky profession after she's popped one out, surely?

I made this point on the last page it's not exactly the right time to get pregnant and have all that time off due to your ageing body not being able to cope with a first time pregnancy when you have just landed the Job as Head of Department
