BBNaija reality star, Uriel Oputa, has chosen to undergo the process of freezing her eggs, saying that time may not be on her side while she waits for Mr. Right.

She shared a heartfelt video capturing her visit to a fertility clinic, where she took the important step of preserving her eggs.

The fitness enthusiast expressed her concerns about time running out while waiting for the perfect man to start a family.

Egg freezing, a method endorsed by the UK’s Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA), involves collecting a woman’s eggs, freezing them, and later thawing them for potential use in fertility treatments.

Uriel, a 35-year-old chef, emphasised the necessity of this procedure, citing the gradual reduction in egg quality after the age of 30, which can limit a woman’s chances of conceiving.

In the video, Uriel passionately advocates for awareness, urging women to consider freezing their eggs as a proactive measure to preserve fertility until the right partner comes along.

Uriel Oputa wrote: “I’m creating awareness!!! Apparently, by 30 the Quality of our eggs Reduce. Ladies, would you consider Freezing your Eggs? Until Mr Right comes? Creating awareness and educating myself and others. We walk on this health journey together.”

In the video, she stated in part: “It’s a hard pill to swallow; at this age, I am now, my mother had five children. Time is ticking for me and I am aware, so I decided to weigh my options. If that perfect man doesn’t come now, I need to secure myself and nurture my seeds.”
