不妊治療実績を作りたいかもしれない…と素直に病院の説明を受け入れられない面もあり、この分野に詳しい第三者の意見ももらおうと思った
日本の外で活躍する産婦人科の友達のお母さんとお話して、卵子凍結は海外だと病気でない若い人も将来のオプションとして行うことや、抗がん剤と一緒にリュープロンを打っていれば、子宮が守られる可能性があることなどを教えてもらった
将来のことはわからなかったけど、将来パートナーがいて子供が欲しくなった時のオプションを考えて、自分への保険として卵子は凍結することにした
My doubts that maybe possibly, the hospital just wanted me to be another case of their fertility treatment still lingered, so I asked for a third party opinion who was familiar in this field.
I talked to the mother of a friend of mine, who happened to be one of the top doctors in obstetrics and gynaecology in her country outside of Japan. She told me that freezing eggs is increasingly an option even for young people who are not sick, although it was still rare in Japan. She also gave me information that if a drug called Lupron was taken along with chemotherapy, it may help protect the uterus from chemo.
I still had no idea what my future would bring.
But I decided to freeze my eggs as a kind of mental and physical insurance policy, just…in case.
