In this episode, fertility specialist Dr Becky Taylor from Genea, one of Australia’s largest IVF and fertility services providers, joins us to unpack the truth about egg freezing in 2026, and why more doctors are facing fertility decisions later than expected. Behind long hours, extended training pathways and delayed life milestones, many medical professionals are unknowingly trading time for certainty when it comes to family planning.

Dr Taylor shares what she is seeing on the front lines of fertility care, including the growing use of ovarian reserve testing, egg freezing and fertility preservation. We explore how age remains the biggest factor affecting egg quality, why freezing eggs later in life often delivers disappointing outcomes, and how conditions like endometriosis can quietly reduce fertility well before symptoms become obvious.

Whether you are early in your medical career or further along your training journey, this episode offers clear, evidence-based insights to help you plan ahead. It forms part of our broader focus on investing not just in finances, but in long-term life planning, bringing honest conversations and expert perspectives to decisions that shape both career and family.
