“…The data consistently shows that delaying motherhood to pursue a career is not the main objective; being single and not having the right partner with whom to have children has been found to be the most significant reason for women who have so-called social reasons for freezing their eggs (Hodes-Wertz et al, 2013;Waldby, 2015). Researchers have also argued that delayed motherhood is the consequence of complex personal and situational factors that lead women to have a child later in life (Vialle, 2018;Vialle et al, 2016). In the case of MEF and ESH, few studies have been conducted, so it is not clear whether in these cases women who undergo egg freezing have children later in life and whether other factors such as career or singlehood influence their decision to have their oocytes vitrified.…”

This paper examines how women accessing social egg freezing (SEF), medical egg freezing (MEF), and egg sharing (ESH) imagine becoming a mother (normative motherhood) in contrast to how they become a mother (reproductive trajectory). It uses data collection from 43 semi-structured in-depth interviews with French women who have had their eggs cryopreserved in France and abroad, five of whom have had children. It was found that most of the women interviewed associate motherhood with heterosexual coupledom, the nuclear family, and a normalized desire for biogenetic motherhood. Nevertheless, ontological disruptions caused by infertility, singlehood, or illness introduce the possibility that they will be unable to have children as expected, which leads them to imagine (and consider) both medical and non-medical ways of having a child. Women’s narrations of alternative paths toward motherhood describe a fragmentation of motherhood into genetic, biological, and social components, which are combined and hierarchized in unexpected ways. I argue that, although alternative reproductive trajectories might modify the kinship ties between the parties involved, they do not necessarily defy normative motherhood. To my knowledge, this is the first empirical study conducted among French women undertaking egg freezing. It seeks to contribute to a growing corpus of empirical research that analyzes egg freezing and its links with motherhood. Second, it mobilizes an innovative approach by examining similarities between SEF, MEF, and ESH. Furthermore, it proposes that women who freeze their eggs for medical reasons or in exchange for an egg donation also inscribe their egg freezing procedure within a heteronormative, biogenetic ideal of motherhood, and a normalized desire for a nuclear family. Finally, it contributes to analyzing the decision-making processes of women who become a mother after egg freezing.

“…En parallè le, un couple sur cinq consulte en France pour infertilité et l'âge maternel apparaît comme être un des facteurs pronostiques principaux [3]. L'âge maternel est aussi paradoxalement souvent un facteur causal de l'infertilité d'un couple [4]. De nombreux couples pensent à tort que les techniques d'assistance mé dicale à la procré ation (AMP) peuvent compenser le problè me de baisse de la fertilité lié e à l'âge.…”

В экономически развитых странах планирование материнства на более поздний возраст за последнее десятилетие увеличилось. Тенденция к позднему материнству становится настолько распространенной, что обусловливает актуальность данной проблемы. Увеличение возраста женщин, планирующих первую беременность, связано со многими социально-экономическими и демографическими факторами, такими, например, как использование гормональной контрацепции, рост занятости женщин, получение высшего образования и становление карьеры [1-4]. Современная гормональная контрацепция, распространенная с конца 80-х годов XX века, дала возможность женщинам самостоятельно решать вопросы планирования беременности и переноса деторождения на более поздний возраст [5-7]. Этому явлению способствовали также получение высшего образования и рост занятости женщин в различных сферах деятельности [8]. Все эти тенденции с течением времени сопровождались изменением семейных ценностей, разделением таких понятий, как «сексуальные отношения» и «деторождение», увеличением доли разво
