Whitney Thore gets shocking fertility news on My Big Fat Fabulous Life. She doesn’t want her unused eggs to go to waste. But she doesn’t like her options.
My Big Fat Fabulous Life: Whitney Thore Seeks Fertility Answers
Whitney Thore has always been open about her desire to become a mother. However, approaching 40, she felt that her chances of making that happen were slim. A few years ago, she froze her eggs, hoping to find a partner to start a family with. But after breaking up with the Frenchman and having no prospects in mind, she felt it was time to get an update on her reproductive health.
The My Big Fat Fabulous Life reality star visits her doctor to seek answers. Whitney wants to know what is going on in her reproductive organs and how the eggs that she froze a few years ago are doing. She also wants to see if she can have a kid in the future. And if that’s not possible, can she donate her eggs?
Whitney’s Given Two Choices for Unused Eggs
Whitney gets checked out by her doctor. He tells her that her uterus looks good and the lining isn’t too thickened. He explains that in a patient who has a history of PCOS, they worry about an excessively thick lining. But that isn’t the case for the TLC star.
The My Big Fat Fabulous Life cast member is happy to hear good news. She has always felt shame when she thought her body “doesn’t work right,” so she considers the news good. For her age, she feels her reproductive system is still in good shape.
Now that Whitney knows her uterus is healthy enough to have a baby, she wants an update on her frozen eggs. She asks what her options are if she can no longer keep them frozen. The doctor tells her that people usually discard them or donate them to scientific research. He adds that the FDA doesn’t allow people to donate eggs because a donor has to go through a certain process to be accepted as a donor.
Whitney finds it shocking that she can’t donate her eggs to someone who may need them if she doesn’t use them. She feels they are her eggs and should be able to do whatever she wants with them.

Whitney Thore doesn’t want her eggs to go to waste. But she also doesn’t know if she’ll be able to have a baby. So, she wants to know how long she has until she can’t use her eggs to get pregnant. The doctor tells her around the age of 43. However, he doesn’t suggest that she wait that long. She doesn’t want to, but she hasn’t found a partner yet.
The My Big Fat Fabulous Life castmate feels hopeful that she has three more years than she thought she did. She feels encouraged. But now she needs to find a man.
