Poor Jennifer Aniston must be reeling after her arch-nemesis Angelina Jolie recently announced her pregnancy — which The Beat had predicted months ago. However, rather than wait for the right man to come along, the unlucky in love 39-year-old actress has decided to freeze her eggs.
“It was a really smart move, because it buys [Jen] a few years to figure it all out,” an insider told Star magazine. “The pressure has lifted.”
The insider also told the gossip mag: “Her friend Sheryl Crow turned her on to the idea of adopting, but in her heart Jen would like to have her own child. She just needs the right man — someone she can trust.”
Many have called bullshit on the story (including Jen's rep) insisting that eggs can't be frozen, just embryos. However, after a little detective work, The Beat found this article:
"Egg freezing is an evolving technology that preserves a woman’s fertility by literally keeping her eggs on ice until she decides to get pregnant. Egg freezing is not as simple as it sounds. Unlike freezing embryos, which has been widely available for decades, freezing human eggs is difficult. An egg is the largest cell in the body and is filled with water. When an egg is thawed, ice crystals cause damage that will prevent it from being fertilized. Preventing ice crystal formation is critical to freezing and thawing eggs successfully. Currently, egg freezing techniques have a low rate of success. However, researchers are trying to make significant progress."
