She planted a seed of hope for herself—a single woman's egg freezing journey.

I. At That Age, I Finally Dared to Face the "Future"

My name is cgx, I'm 37 years old, from Shanghai, and I'm a marketing director at a foreign company. For ten years, I've barely had a moment to breathe.

My peers are getting married and having children one after another, while I've always been busy with my career. It's not that I don't want to, but I haven't met the right person.

At 35, my medical report showed "declining ovarian reserve" for the first time. The doctor casually said, "It's best to have children as early as possible." I nodded with a smile that day, but cried on the way home.

I realized for the first time that having children isn't something you can do whenever you want. Time, hormones, ovaries—they won't wait for you.

II. From Anxiety to Determination: I Decided to Freeze My Future

At a friend's gathering, I heard about "egg freezing" for the first time.

A classmate working in Hong Kong told me that she had frozen her eggs in Thailand three years ago, "not because I didn't want to get married, but because I wanted to leave myself some options."

That touched me.

Back home, I frantically researched, only to discover numerous policy restrictions in China, prohibiting single women from freezing their eggs.

I consulted several hospitals in China, but doctors could only shake their heads. During that time, I spent countless nights searching online for "overseas egg freezing" and "how single women can preserve their fertility," until I found Beibeishu.

Their consultant patiently explained the policies and procedures of different countries: Thailand, the United States, and Singapore all have egg freezing policies for single women; Thailand's technology is mature, the cost is reasonable, and its medical system is comprehensive.

I didn't hesitate any longer.

I told myself: This time, I'm not waiting for fate, but fighting for my future.

III. The Beibeishu team made me feel less alone.

That day, a Beibeishu consultant sent me my first message on WeChat: "Ms. Lin, we will accompany you through the entire process." This short sentence instantly gave me a sense of security.

From physical examinations and hormone assessments to visa processing, hospital liaison, and doctor video consultations—every step was meticulously planned.

I vividly remember the first time I video-chatted with the Thai doctor. He smiled and said, "Your ovarian function is quite good; now is the best time to freeze your eggs."

At that moment, I felt as if the world had gently embraced me.

IV. The Days of Ovulation Induction: Pain, Courage, and Tears

The ovulation induction injection process was not easy. Every night, I had to give myself the injection.

At first, my hands trembled violently, and the moment the needle pierced my skin, I couldn't help but cry.

But the next day, I learned to quietly count my breaths—one, two, three—and then gently press down.

Sometimes, when work was too busy, I would secretly give myself the injection in the meeting room;

Sometimes I would wake up in the middle of the night in pain and could only curl up, clutching my lower abdomen.

The nurses at Beibeishu would remotely check on my condition every day and teach me how to relieve the discomfort.

One night, I couldn't help but send a message: "I'm a little overwhelmed."

The nurse replied: "Sister Lin, you're not alone. We're all here for you."

At that moment, I realized that there really were people accompanying me on this journey.

V. The Day of Egg Retrieval: I Pressed the Pause Button for My Future

On the 12th day of ovulation induction, the doctor informed me that I could have my eggs retrieved.

I put on my surgical gown, my heart filled with mixed emotions—nervousness mixed with a touch of pride.

After the surgery, I was wheeled back to my ward.

The nurse told me that 14 eggs had been retrieved, 11 of which were mature and successfully frozen.

I looked at the freezing report, my fingers trembling.

It wasn't just a set of data, but a possibility for my future.

At that moment, my tears finally fell.

VI. From Egg Freezing to Self-Reconciliation: A Woman's Power Is Not Just About Motherhood

After returning home, my life seemed unchanged; I was still busy and still single.

But my mindset was completely different.

I no longer panicked about time.

I knew that in some warm future, a part of "me" lay quietly in the cryopreservation chamber of the laboratory, waiting to be awakened.

A friend asked me, "Don't you feel lonely?"

I smiled and replied, "No, it's a kind of freedom."

A woman's life doesn't necessarily have to be defined by marriage.

I want to give myself a chance; whether I marry or have children in the future, I have the right to choose.

VII. Three years later, I finally made my choice.

Three years later, I was 39. My career was still busy, but I was more determined.

That year, I contacted Beibeishu again and decided to use my previously frozen eggs.

After doctor evaluation and matching, the embryo transfer was successful on the first try.

I was pregnant.

The moment I heard my baby's heartbeat for the first time, I cried.

I wasn't born for anyone else, but for myself, completing a full circle of life.

VIII. A letter to every woman like me:

Dear you,

If you are also hesitating about whether to freeze your eggs, whether to give yourself a chance—

Please believe that this is not a lonely battle, but a courageous choice.

Women don't need to be bound by time, nor should they be defined by worldly conventions. We have the right to decide when to become mothers 

and the right to leave a light on for the future, even when we're not ready.

Beibei Tree helped me preserve that hope,

but what truly helped me overcome my anxiety was the courage to take that first step.

Postscript

Three years ago, I froze my eggs; today, I hold my daughter in my arms.

She is a gift I gave myself, and the most tender miracle in my life.
