Taking Qs on freezing my eggs (despite not wanting to reproduce)
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 23rd, 2026 11:12 PM Author: oomox I am 100% sure I don't want to bring a new life into this world, but at 32, I decided that I should freeze some eggs just in case something changes in some impossible-to-anticipate way in the distant future. My plan is to foster/adopt, but I wanted to have a plan B in case something makes that impossible and I still want to be a parent.
I also partly pursued this because I was interested in seeing my numbers. The women in my family have always been extremely fertile, and I knew that my numbers would be great, but holy shit they were practically off the charts, exceptional for a woman of ANY age, not just an almost-33yo. At my ultrasound at the consultation the doctor literally said "it's an egg factory in here!" lmfao. Here are my numbers if you want to fact check just how exceptional they are: AFC=32, cd3 AMH=5.03, cd3 inhibin B=159, cd3 FSH=4.06, cd3 estradiol=27.9, no PCOS
Due to my ABUNDANT RESERVE and HIGH HORMONAL RESPONSIVENESS the doctor put me on a very conservative cycle. I ended up freezing 25 mature eggs, which is basically the optimal outcome. Any more and it would've been painful for me. The process involved injecting myself multiple times per day, which quickly got rid of my fear of needles. It was pretty intense but now it's a skill I have if I ever need to do it again. |

|
Date: May 23rd, 2026 11:17 PM Author: oomox Yeah like I really don't think I'll need them but I feel better having them.
PLUS even just the testing part was really worthwhile; now I know I will likely have a very large window for natural conception, which everyone figured anyway, as I read as obviously fertile due to WHR etc. |

Date: May 23rd, 2026 11:19 PM Author: The Penis I think more xo males should freeze their cum honestly. Much cheaper than egg freezing. And since everyone here is balding with poor diets and on hard drugs, most will be infertile by like 45 max. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5868567&forum_id=2#49897443) |

|
Date: May 23rd, 2026 11:22 PM Author: icanseemyneurons i think the obvious question here is wouldn't this affect the offspring? in regular sex with man reproduction the egg would be timed with your life circumstances upon meeting him causing a serendipitous child creation. in the freezing scenario, the eggs are pre-serendipitous. discuss. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5868567&forum_id=2#49897451) |
|
Date: May 23rd, 2026 11:25 PM Author: oomox You mean like would it be a different person? I don't think it's meaningfully different from like if you naturally conceived at 3:01 AM vs. 3:02 AM. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5868567&forum_id=2#49897456) |

|
Date: May 23rd, 2026 11:27 PM Author: oomox Well in my example it would be a different sperm. Either way it's just that the DNA combined under different circumstances so it's just Different but no one path is more or less serendipitous. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5868567&forum_id=2#49897461) |
|
Date: May 23rd, 2026 11:29 PM Author: icanseemyneurons right, the sperm would be more similar than true reproductive intercourse, though also not identical. but the egg exaggerates this difference to a level that would have substantial consequence if you think, as I do, that your body is coordinating egg drops to align with your anticipated reproductive year.

|
Date: May 23rd, 2026 11:33 PM Author: oomox Well I'll only be using this in a scenario where it isn't possible to reproduce naturally in my desired reproductive year. So it's either existence borne of a once-frozen, exceptional-quality 32yo egg, or no existence at all. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5868567&forum_id=2#49897467) |
|
Date: May 23rd, 2026 11:36 PM Author: icanseemyneurons there are a substantial number of years where it's not obvious it would be impossible, no? my point isnt to argue the minutiae, but about how consciously engineering a birth could introduce a sub-optimal timeline. it could also introduce a better timeline. it was just a question about this issue (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5868567&forum_id=2#49897470) |
|
Date: May 23rd, 2026 11:47 PM Author: oomox Yeah, based on my stats, I'm confident I have a wide window in which I could conceive naturally with ease. If I somehow changed my mind and decided to reproduce, it would certainly be worth trying until at least 45. I just turned 35. But it's not infinite. At some point I won't have 30+ exceptional-quality eggs hanging around in my ovaries each month waiting to get chosen. I'll have none at all.
I was thinking of the "better timeline" possibility too, but I think it's cleaner if you don't try to make a judgment on that, just consider the fact that I'll only be using this if there's no way I can Recruit an egg Contemporaneously. It's the only possible path at that point, the point where I decide I want to reproduce. |
|
Date: May 23rd, 2026 11:53 PM Author: icanseemyneurons can you test the eggs and pick the one you like best? if so then this is an even better idea (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5868567&forum_id=2#49897509) |
|
Date: May 24th, 2026 12:01 AM Author: oomox Genetically? By then, probably, and maybe even now, but I'm morally opposed to that. Well, morphologically they'll choose the ones that look best, so that'll give it a boost. They won't choose some ugly one that didn't quite finish baking or whatever.
Btw the doctor also made a kind of big deal of my genetic screening results and how I'm not a carrier for any conditions. So idk. I'm sure they're all good tbh. I feel like I did what I had to do to give my future self the opportunity to reproduce in the best possible circumstances, if I somehow decide I want to do that. It was a pretty impulsive thing. Maybe I was intended to decide to freeze my eggs at that time. |
|
Date: May 24th, 2026 12:02 AM Author: icanseemyneurons youre already selecting eggs based on phenotype. its really a small step to test the genes and get the smart athletic kid (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5868567&forum_id=2#49897526) |
|
Date: May 24th, 2026 12:11 AM Author: oomox They're all probably good enough. The chance of my deciding to reproduce after menopause is vanishingly small anyway. I guess I can't even begin to get in the mindset of my future self who would be deciding, because I highly doubt I'll end up in this situation.

|
Date: May 24th, 2026 12:18 AM Author: oomox I used to toss around the possibility in my head, or sometimes aloud, when I was in relationships. But when I thought of the idea of adopting an older kid, it all just clicked that that's what I want to do. I have no interest in pregnancy, childbirth, raising a baby from birth, or bringing a new life into this SPS world against its will. I want to be a good parent to a kid who's already here. No stable, happy relationship has changed my conviction about this path. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5868567&forum_id=2#49897549) |
|
Date: May 24th, 2026 12:20 AM Author: icanseemyneurons i was specifically referring to successful (i.e., permanent) pair bonding, not temporary pair bonding. the antinatalist perspective has always struck me as a response to childhood trauma / chronic failed relationships (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5868567&forum_id=2#49897554) |
|
Date: May 24th, 2026 12:23 AM Author: oomox For me this is a fundamental personal/moral preference that I see as totally separate from my experiences in relationships. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5868567&forum_id=2#49897556) |

|
Date: May 23rd, 2026 11:56 PM Author: oomox I got 25 mature eggs; I'm good. The doctor said my labs showed excellent egg quality, not just quantity, pointing out the Inhibin B in particular. Morphologically 19 were great; those are the ones that were frozen right after retrieval. The last 6 matured overnight so they were just OK and have a lower expected success rate. This isn't anything about their inherent quality, just the timing of the cycle. But the chances of success are high with the batch I got. Plus there's only a miniscule chance I want to use them. Definitely not worth doing all that again. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5868567&forum_id=2#49897516) |

I would say no offense but it would probably be good if you were offended by me saying this because then you would re think what you are saying here and realize how completely retarded it is and that you're on the wrong track |

Date: May 24th, 2026 12:06 AM Author: oomox Sorry, I just don't have the "propagate the species" or "pass on my genetic code" gene. It's probably technically "wrong" evolutionarily but I don't care. I do have the urge to make the world a better place for future generations, which I want to do in part by fostering a teenager and giving them a supportive environment in which to thrive and succeed.
Why's that the wrong track? |
