Everything you need to know about egg freezing . . . because your most productive years coincide with your most reproductive years. "I have plenty of time to think about having kids . . ." "I've always liked the idea of having kids, but I never met the right partner . . . " "Can't I freeze my eggs later . . . ?" Sound familiar?

THE LIES: --Getting pregnant is easy. --Prince Charming will come, one day. --You have all the time in the world--even into your forties--to get pregnant. THE ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS: --At what age should you start considering egg freezing? --Are you willing to be a single mom? --Can you afford the expensive procedure?
