Yahoo UK News has learned that reality TV star Sophie Hermann has undergone a procedure to freeze her eggs in a bid to safeguard her fertility for the future. The Made in Chelsea star, who is currently single and navigating the dating scene, wanted to give herself some "insurance" that she could have children when she is an older woman if her Mr. Right does not come into her life any time soon.
In an exclusive interview with New! magazine, Sophie Hermann revealed that she had encouraged other women to consider freezing their eggs if they are able to. "Please do it," she said. "It’s not 100 per cent insurance, but it’s better than nothing. I’m much more at ease. I don’t stress myself so much with deadlines and dating now." According to Yahoo UK News sources, Sophie Hermann’s decision to freeze her eggs was motivated by her desire to have a sense of security when it comes to her fertility.
Sophie Hermann, who recently turned 38, admitted that she is anxious about getting older and wants to ensure that she has options when it comes to having children. "I did mine with Amilis Fertility Clinic in London," she revealed. "It’s a women’s fertility founded platform, where they vetted over 20 clinics in London. They’re amazing. I had to give myself injections every day during the process and, although that didn’t get any easier, I’m still glad I did it." Yahoo UK News has confirmed that Sophie Hermann’s procedure was more complex than usual, as doctors had to remove a cyst before retrieving seven eggs from her ovaries.
The Made in Chelsea star was delighted with the outcome of the procedure and has encouraged other women to consider it. "They say you need 20 eggs, but you don’t," she said. "My friend also has seven and I feel like I can clone them one day and have them forever." According to New! magazine, Sophie Hermann will only consider fertilising her eggs with a sperm donor when she is aged 46 or older, rather than having a family the traditional way with a loving partner.
As reported by Yahoo UK News, Sophie Hermann’s decision to freeze her eggs has given her a sense of peace of mind when it comes to her fertility. "I was actually looking into this with my friend the other week because she is considering doing this," she revealed. "I discovered that in the UK you can’t find out what they look like – you can only see baby pictures – so I would probably go to America to do it. But I’m not there yet, or at the point where I would consider that. I feel like that’s why I froze my eggs, so I don’t have to think about those questions right now."
As a godmother to her Made in Chelsea pals Ollie and Gareth Locke’s twins Ollie and Cosima, Sophie Hermann has a close understanding of the joys of parenthood. However, she has stressed that she is not ready to start a family of her own just yet. "I wouldn’t consider questions like that until I was 46 years plus – definitely not yet," she said. Yahoo UK News will continue to follow Sophie Hermann’s journey and provide updates on her fertility plans in the future.
The issue of fertility and egg freezing has become increasingly prominent in recent years, with many women choosing to take control of their reproductive health. According to New! magazine, Sophie Hermann’s decision to freeze her eggs is a personal one, and she has encouraged other women to consider it if they are able to. Yahoo UK News has learned that Sophie Hermann’s story is just one example of the many women who are taking proactive steps to safeguard their fertility and plan for their future.
