Orly Wahba

February 4, 2020

My name is Orly Wahba. I’m 37 years old and have lived in Brooklyn all of my life. This year I’m planning to relocate and move to Jerusalem. I decided to freeze my eggs in February 2018 before going on a trip to Israel. I had been thinking and debating freezing my eggs for a while. I’ve been running a non-profit organization called, Life Vest Inside for nearly 8 years. When I thought about all the time I was giving the charity, I realized it was time to also invest in my future family goals and planning. I know I want to be a mother someday. My siblings have gotten married and started their families. As I get older, I realized how beneficial egg freezing could be to protect my desire to have a family. I think egg freezing was the best choice I could have ever made. I would recommend it to anyone who asks. I had a great experience with my fertility clinic and a good experience during the fertility cycle which resulted in a good outcome collecting 29 eggs. I feel a sense of peace knowing I have this backup plan.
