Dr. Meghan Smith helps women with freezing eggs for the future
Family is important to Meghan Smith MD. In fact, it’s one of the things that brought her to Nashville Fertility Center. “All my family lives in Tennessee, so I wanted to be closer to them while bringing my talents to the residents of my home state.”
Equally near and dear to Dr. Smith’s heart is empowering women to take control of their fertility by freezing eggs. As a result, this Tennessee egg freezing expert offers fertility preservation for women.
Why is Dr. Smith passionate about helping women with freezing eggs?
There are two types of egg freezing, and our Tennessee egg freezing expert helps women pursue both types of fertility preservation for women.
The first is elective freezing, which is when a woman preserves her eggs for social reasons. She may want to wait to have a baby because she’s busy focusing on educational, professional or personal goals. She could also still be looking for the perfect partner to have a baby with.
“Life is so different for women than it was 30 years ago, so women in my age group are facing a lot of interesting choices in terms of building families. I understand this on both a personal and a professional level.”
The second option is medical freezing. This is an option for patients who are preparing to undergo cancer treatments or medical interventions that could damage fertility. According to Dr. Smith, “Cancer detection and treatment has improved, so many women are able to think about life beyond cancer and into their survivorship. I want to help make sure that fertility is available to them at the finish line.”
What is Dr. Smith’s connection to egg freezing?
When Dr. Smith says she understands what her patients are going through when freezing eggs, she means it. This is because our Tennessee egg freezing expert froze her own eggs.
“I know what it’s like to juggle wanting to have a family and a career, and I believe freezing eggs is a great way to have the best of both worlds,” she explains. “I’m honored to offer fertility preservation for women so that my patients can have a baby when they’re ready.”
