6. You’re Cordially Invited to an Egg Freezing Party

It’s the hottest day of the year in the UK and the side effects of my injections kick in (hello, heart palpitations, how relaxing). Meanwhile, I investigate egg freezing in other countries, discuss fertility ‘tourism’ and the idea of visiting Thailand or Mexico for the treatment. I talk to Hong-Kong doctor Lucy Lord about a controversial egg freezing case in China, where women can only freeze their eggs if they're married. Plus, a chat with California’s ‘Egg Whisperer’, Dr Aimee Eyvazzadeh, about egg freezing parties and the Kardashians' impact on the egg freezing industry.
