PCOS patients should freeze 40 eggs instead of the standard 20 because egg quality is not good in PCOS patients

I've seen how the medical system often defaults to "more is better" without considering the lived experience. For PCOS patients, freezing 40 eggs isn't just about biology—it's about navigating a process that's already emotionally and physically taxing. If the goal is to improve chances, it's not just about the number, but about how that number aligns with the individual's health journey, not a generic target.
