YOUR Fertility depends upon YOUR MAN

The social media Algorithm pushes posts on Egg Freezing like it’s a free service!

Many women have asked me what’s my take on it?

The biological clock is a lie. It’s told to women to make them feel “expired”.

The old saying that - Men Age Like Fine Wine, and Women Like Rotten Milk.

It is well accepted that men can father children even upto late 70s, but women are told that by the time they are 30, 90% of their eggs have run out!

So women are married off early, have children in their early 20s (or even earlier), and build their whole identity around motherhood. They do not get any time to develop a personality - an individual existence.

I am NOT advocating against having children early in life. But yes, I want women to learn about fertility so they can have children when they like.

More than two decades ago, scientists at Harvard Medical School observed that new eggs form in the ovaries of adult female mammals. There were several studies conducted after that, which showed that this is very well possible in women. Meaning that while men produce new sperm, women, too, can produce more eggs!

Dr Ray Peat also wrote in his book “From PMS to Menopause: Female Hormones in Context” about many experiments showing that old animals continue producing eggs even after being declared infertile. And when such an Egg is fertilized and implanted in a young animal, it will implant itself and birth a healthy offspring.

Stress and Infertility

Stress occurs when an external stimulus challenges the body, and it doesn’t have enough energy to cope. (Read THIS to learn more)

And when cortisol (the main stress hormone) is affected, it will increase estrogen, thereby reducing thyroid function.

When the Thyroid drops, the body also loses excessive CO2. “The Bohr Effect” shows us how, without adequate CO2 in the body, cells cannot use Oxygen.

That’s why High Stress leads to Hypoxia (low oxygen) in the cells.

Dr Peat observed that old animals had little oxygen in their uterus, which didn’t allow the embryo to implant. Similarly, estrogen given to young animals causes a lack of oxygen in the uterus, preventing implantation of the embryo.

This means that loss of fertility is directly related to Stress rather than Chronological Age.

The biological age depends upon your environment and how well you take care of your body; it’s not the same as chronological age.

Everyone doesn’t age the same way. Women in bad marriages, challenging work environments, etc., will “look old”.

But a favorable environment can even reverse aging!

There are accounts of women who have birthed children even at 60 and menstruated into their 70s. And that’s why I say-

A big responsibility of your fertility lies with your MAN.

A man has to step up and take charge to keep his woman stress-free, to have healthy children, and to give them a memorable childhood. No amount of fitness and nutrition can replace the feeling of security from your man.

A woman’s fertility will flourish when she feels safe and valued. You don’t need egg freezing services if you’ve met THAT man.
