What we know
Stopping storage is a real decision
For some people, stopping storage feels clear. For others, it brings up sadness, uncertainty, guilt or relief. All of these responses are normal.
Not using your eggs does not mean freezing was a mistake
Your eggs may have given you time, choice and peace of mind when you needed it. Even if you never use them, that still matters.
You have more than one option
Stopping storage does not always mean simply discarding your eggs. Depending on where your eggs are stored, you may be able to donate them to another person, donate them to science or research, donate them for training, move them, or allow them to be removed from storage.
Donation is generous, but it is not simple
Donating eggs can be meaningful, but it comes with legal, emotional and practical implications. It is a decision worth taking time over, not something to feel pressured into.
