Should I freeze my eggs while waiting for my Boaz?

Rita Ora, British singer-songwriter and actor, recently opened up about freezing her eggs in her mid-20s, saying it was “the best advice” she’d ever received. Suddenly, it feels like everyone is talking again about egg freezing. 

Recent research suggests that 17% of Gen Z women in the UK have already considered freezing their eggs, and nearly half of women in their late 20s to early 30s would actively consider it. With more women delaying motherhood due to career, the shakey economy, or not being able to find meet someone, the conversation about fertility preservation is only becoming more urgent.

If you’re one of many single Christian women conscious of the imbalance between single men and women in the Church, you’ve probably had moments when you’ve wondered about your own fertility, your future, and how much you can really plan for the life you hope for. Maybe you’ve felt the so-called “ticking clock”, or maybe it’s the people around you—friends, family, even church family—asking when you’re going to “settle down” or start a family. And navigating these questions isn’t easy, especially when faith is part of the equation.
