00:00I've heard a lot of women say that you're never ready to be a mom, but I can tell you
00:11today that yes, I am ready, I have already fulfilled those little things that were missing
00:17to be able to take this step because I was sure that when it happened, I wanted to have
00:24the time, I wanted to have the stability, not only professional, but also emotional
00:29and as a couple, and well, I have the fortune that I have Carlos, who supports me in this
00:35new adventure and I thank him because making the decision to want to be a dad again at
00:42almost 52 is brave.
00:47It is a mistake that many women make and I want to think that it is the current woman
00:56that we believe that because they have told us that when you are young you will be fine,
01:03you will not have any problem, you will be able to be a mom, as it is after the 40s
01:08that complications can begin and now that I made the decision to start with all this
01:13process I realized that I am part of that percentage of women in their 30s who perhaps
01:21do not have the same ovarian reserve that other women have, so times are changing,
01:29infertility rates are increasing, so for me it was also super important to be able to
01:37share this message, to talk about what is happening because the reality is that although
01:43I can tell you that I am ready to be a mom, if you had asked me two years ago,
01:47three years, five years ago, the answer is no and I am sure that no woman has to feel forced
01:55or pressured to be a mom when she is not ready, if her biological clock is not on par with
02:01her professional clock or with her personal clock, so if we have resources like this one that
02:06science gives us, technology, to be able to ensure or have a reserve there that gives us the
02:14opportunity to be mothers in the future, then you have to take advantage of it and you have to take it, you know
02:19that it is much simpler than what they paint, I imagined something like that, very complicated,
02:25they tell you that you are going to suffer many changes in your mood, that you gain weight, I consider
02:31that we all have a different story, we live it in a different way, I can tell you
02:38personally that thank God I did very well, I did not feel weird, I did not feel different, I think
02:47that the fact that I was very calm also played an important role because I mentalized
02:53to be relaxed to put my part in that way so that everything would go better and it is a little
03:00scary at first the issue of injections because you say and if I don't do it well but how do I
03:05have to inject myself alone and there are so many injections the process lasts between 10 and 12 days but the
03:12reality is that when you build a circle of love and support everything is much simpler, personally
03:19I was fortunate that my peers from Desiguales that I adore and that it gives me a lot of excitement to be
03:26living this stage with them, some who are already mothers, Ada who lived it up close, Mik Belis
03:33who may not yet reach this point but still gives her hope and is also brave and she
03:41grabbed the injection and there I explained to her what the doctor had told me and she gave me the first
03:48injection after the one they gave me with the doctor and then it was something very nice because we were
03:53all in the dressing room excited like with the nerve that we knew that what we were doing
03:58because in the end it will bring a beautiful fruit first God then the Carlos process also
04:04helped me with the injections he helped me my niece who is in Monterrey was also part of
04:11the process he accompanied me the first time with the doctor so it is also very important for me
04:17that my family feel part of this that even if they are far away I love the fact that my
04:22doctor is in Monterrey because my mother is also there and she can feel part of this
04:29project so beautiful I hope that my supports are all all and all because well I would like the
04:38idea of or I like the idea that they are twins but well if there are two or it is one I will still be a
04:45first-time there are many things that I will surely need help although Carlos already knows a lot that
04:51that also gives me a lot of tranquility but in this case my mother-in-law lives with us that also
04:56gives me tranquility to know that I will not be alone that she can help me maybe there will be issues
05:02of the woman's body that obviously Carlos will not be able to help me and she does and definitely my
05:09mother I am sure that she will also want to be here for a few days or accompany me throughout this
05:15process and we are happy to have this network of support once again because the time has come
05:21I would love to tell all the women to be encouraged to be informed that if they are going to make a
05:28decision to be a mother not to be mothers or not to be it at this time that they do it already informed that
05:36freezing their eggs is a step that I am sure they will never regret but they would regret it
05:44if they did not do it then nothing to be informed that you have to talk about it more you have to tell it you have to
05:52normalize it especially that they do not feel bad if they reached a point where they have to take that
05:59step because I feel that for many it can also be difficult as at what time I reached this
06:04point that I have to freeze my eggs because perhaps I do not have a partner to be a mother at this
06:10moment or life reached me and I am not ready professionally to be a mother then how to
06:19have it as a help to have it as a tool as an option because we can take advantage of it and take it
