Decisions around motherhood are evolving, and more women are seeking options that allow them to plan their futures with greater autonomy. Egg freezing has emerged as a powerful tool—offering peace of mind and expanding possibilities. In a recent episode of La Magia del Caos, Aislinn Derbez sat down with Romina Sacre, Alexis de Anda, and Hildelisa Beltrán to discuss their journeys, debunk myths, and share hard-won wisdom.
1. A Decision That Opens Doors
Motherhood is a life-altering choice, and fear of time shouldn’t be the only driver. Egg freezing allows women to ease the pressure of the biological clock, creating space to decide how and when to embrace motherhood—or not. For some, it’s about keeping future options open; for others, it’s simply about reclaiming control over their bodies and timelines.
2. Motherhood Through Different Lenses
The conversation highlighted how each woman’s path is unique. Romina spoke candidly about choosing not to be a mother and the unexpected grief that followed. Alexis shared her decision to freeze her eggs as a way to honor her desire for motherhood on her terms. At the same time, Hildelisa shared how health challenges prompted her to preserve her fertility—not because she felt pressured, but because she wanted to keep her options open. The takeaway? There’s no single “right” way to navigate fertility, only the courage to choose what aligns with your story.
3. Myths vs. Reality: What Egg Freezing Entails
Questions abound: Does it hurt? Will it wreck my hormones? What if I never use my frozen eggs? But beneath these practical concerns lies something deeper—a personal reckoning with desire, fear, and societal expectations. Egg freezing isn’t just a medical procedure; it’s a radical act of self-advocacy. And while experiences vary, the process is often simpler than many imagine (spoiler: Alexis likened the injections to “less than a pinch”).
4. Science as the Great Equalizer
Biology isn’t fair: men can father children well into old age, while women’s ovarian reserve declines with time. For generations, this disparity forced impossible choices. Now, medical advances like egg freezing help level the playing field, offering women agency over their fertility timelines. It’s not about “defying nature”—it’s about refusing to let biology dictate destiny.
The Bottom Line
There’s no universal answer when it comes to motherhood. What matters is an informed choice—freezing eggs, embracing motherhood now, or opting out entirely. At Fertilidad Integral, we provide the resources and support you need to make informed decisions.
