Too old at 35 for freezing eggs, seriously? That’s exactly what Soha Ali Khan was told when she started her fertility journey. One doctor even said to her, “Your ovaries can’t see your face.” Well, that was harsh.

Soha recently opened up about her experience of how she wasn’t allowed to freeze her eggs because of her age. And it was shocking to know 35 is too late. In fact, that is the time many women realise the importance and get mentally ready for something like that.

The Pressure Women Face in Our Society

By the time a woman is in her 30s, she’s often getting settled either with her career or marriage. And then comes the constant reminder, “Clock is ticking, start planning!”

Society tells women to follow a timeline. Get married by this age, have kids by that age and then have a second one. More than you, people start worrying about you. That’s the pressure Soha felt when she was told her chances of motherhood were shrinking.

The Reality of Fertility at 35

Fertility does change with age. Women are born with a fixed number of eggs and after 35, the number and quality start to go down. But lifestyle is changing and so is the fertility rules.

Many women in their late 30s and even early 40s still go on to have healthy pregnancies.
With modern options like egg freezing and other fertility treatments, parenthood is possible later.

Instead of fear, give them the information and support.

Soha’s Story

Soha decided to share her personal struggle because she knows so many others are going through the same thing quietly. Talking about egg freezing and fertility is still seen as taboo in our society. Many women feel embarrassed or judged.

By opening up, Soha is normalizing the conversation that many women still don’t talk about.

Soha admitted that hearing she was too old was hurtful. It made her question herself. Many women who face similar comments feel their worth is tied only to motherhood.

A Message For Every Woman

1. Fertility is complex, but women deserve to make choices without fear.
2. Being 35 doesn’t mean your chances are over. It can come with challenges, but there are solutions.
3. Talk openly about fertility; you are not alone.

Instead of shaming women about the right age, we should focus on giving them knowledge and support. Motherhood doesn’t come with a fixed deadline. And no woman should ever feel like her worth depends only on her fertility.
