Akansha Ranjan Kapoor candidly shares her painful experience of egg freezing at the age of 32. She emphasizes the importance of proactive reproductive health. The procedure took place in March 2026.

Before undergoing the procedure, Akansha learned that her AMH (Anti-Mullerian Hormone) level was low for her age. This finding prompted her to take action regarding her reproductive health.

Following the egg freezing procedure, she experienced significant pain and discomfort. Akansha stated, “I couldn’t walk for 2–3 days… I was in so much pain.” She described the sensation as feeling like a big balloon inside her.

Reflecting on her decision, Akansha expressed a desire to have frozen her eggs earlier, ideally in her early or mid-twenties. She referred to egg freezing as “kind of an insurance” for her future self.

Akansha shared her experience on Soha Ali Khan’s podcast, All About Her. During the episode, she highlighted the emotional and physical challenges of the process. Many people around her were getting pregnant, which influenced her choice to freeze her eggs.

Despite the pain, Akansha received positive support from those around her regarding her decision. She emphasized that understanding female health is crucial for women today.
