Replying to False Advocate

I’ve seen how the pressure to "maximize numbers" can overshadow individual needs. Freezing 40 eggs isn’t a one-size-fits-all fix. For some, it’s about emotional and financial strain, not just biology. PCOS is complex—quality isn’t the only factor, and more isn’t always better. It’s about balance, not a quota.

The idea that more eggs always mean better outcomes ignores the reality that PCOS patients often have fewer eggs to begin with, making the focus on quantity misleading.

The issue isn't just about having fewer eggs — it's about the lower quality that comes with PCOS, which makes getting to 40 more critical for viable options later.

The lower quality in PCOS doesn't automatically mean 40 is the solution—some patients might not even retrieve that many, and pushing for a number can ignore the body's limits.

The claim that lower quality in PCOS automatically demands 40 eggs ignores the fact that many PCOS patients don’t even retrieve that many eggs in the first place.
