Expressing her thoughts, Kardashian Barker mentioned feeling pressure to freeze her eggs when she was 38 or 39 years old, before she started dating Barker. She revealed that during that time, they were able to successfully retrieve seven eggs. However, most of them did not survive the thawing process, and none of them developed into viable embryos.
Kardashian Barker went on to discuss the misconceptions surrounding egg freezing. She wanted to highlight that it is not a guaranteed solution and can lead to disappointment for those who view it as a fail-safe option.
