Nest Egg Fertility

Nest Egg Fertility (formerly Great Possibilities) started in 2014, but the inspiration and passion behind Nest Egg Fertility started over a decade ago with our own personal fertility experiences. It is widely accepted that women’s biological evolution has not caught up to their social evolution. Unlike generations past, many women find themselves having to delay starting a family. Most common reasons include not having found the right partner, professional timing and medical conditions. As single professionals in our thirties, not having found the right partners, we were all too aware of the biological limitations we faced. And so we each started down the path of oocyte cryopreservation (egg freezing) at a time when it was still considered experimental and reserved primarily for women with medical conditions.

Empowered by our own personal egg freezing experiences, we noticed a significant lack in education and information available regarding a woman’s biological timeline and fertility preservation. Then with the improvement of cryopreservation technologies and ultimately the introduction of vitrification in everyday clinical practices, we knew the time had come to get this information out to the women for whom this could be an option. We began hosting “On Ice” educational events, drawing new attention to and educating women on the current medical advancements in fertility. By doing so, we began filling the void and a new discussion emerged about egg preservation and its viability as an option for everyday women.
