The use of the procedure of freezing eggs has risen sharply in recent years, up from 564 egg-freezing cycles performed in the US in 2009, to 8,892 in 2016, according to data collated by the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology, an organization of professionals dedicated to assisted reproductive technologies.
Egg freezing is so popular that companies like Apple and Google compensate their employees who opt to undergo the procedure. Egg freezing, the actress said, is a “very powerful” move for women who are not yet ready to have children. “We have frozen [eggs]… I’m going to keep banking. I have one here, but I might try to do it in the States or somewhere where I can prepare for a possible surrogacy in the future,” Calzado told Davila.
Last year, Dulce mounted an art installation called “At Least I Won’t Regret Anything.” The exhibit featured baptismal dresses with excerpts from her journal when she had her eggs frozen to symbolize her journey toward reproductive autonomy.
