A lot of pressure is placed on women to start thinking about family building early in their lives due to the “fertility window” or “biological clock”.

Katie Becker, a Progyny member through Hearst (she works at Elle Magazine), felt the weight of having to pick between starting a family or focusing on her career. Katie’s journey led her to fertility preservation, aka egg freezing, which was made financially possible by her employer-sponsored coverage.

In this episode, Katie discusses the factors that went into her decision, and how sharing her story via Instagram helped build a safe space for other women going through the same process.

Check out Katie’s article on all things egg freezing to learn more about her experience!
