Eggs: Unscrambled
Agnes Fischer, creator of the blog FrozenPlease.com, writes the definitive guide on egg freezing and modern fertility for women of all ages.
Eggs: Unscrambled is the ultimate guide to the groundbreaking technology that has revolutionized the modern woman’s life: oocyte cryopreservation, or egg freezing.
This book is about more than just egg freezing fertility—it’s a wake up call for 21st century women to get their heads out of their asses and into their ovaries. Agnes Fischer spent her twenties actively avoiding pregnancy, but when she hit her thirties and couldn’t conceive, she found out that having a baby wasn’t as easy as advertised. At thirty six, Agnes found herself recently divorced after months of failed fertility treatments, and decided to take action: egg freezing. When she reached the other side, with 28 eggs stored as a chance for future motherhood, Agnes stopped to ask herself: Why didn’t anyone tell me that getting pregnant could be so difficult?
With the help of Dr. Nicole Noyes of the NYU Langone Medical Center, Fischer debunks popular myths about fertility, explains the exciting new technology of egg freezing, and arms women with the facts they need to know before it’s too late.
Part extensive guide on egg freezing and part personal account of Agnes’ experiences with modern fertility treatments, Eggs: Unscrambledis a must-read for women in their twenties, thirties, forties, and beyond, who want to better plan for their reproductive futures.

Author mentions endometriosis once, as something her cousin dealt with in high school. For a book on reproductive health, to mention a major source of infertility as if it was a temporary disease a person could grow out of is incredibly irresponsible.

Easy to read and felt like a great overview of egg freezing and some high level pointers. Obviously not meant to be in depth and I appreciated the learnings!
