I assume she just started the whole process too late.

I thought it was just an unattractive photo - she's been filling and freezing for quite a while now.
Maybe it's the facial expression - trying to look comical, with her nipples covered with double Cs and all.
No, It's definitely not just you. There was video I scrolled past on Instagram earlier of her behind the scenes during the making of this photoshoot and her face looked very 'off', I thought they'd photoshop it to make improvements, but nope! Her face has looked different for a while now. I think she had something done to the mouth area but also fillers in her cheeks or something... it puzzles me every time I see pics of her in recent years
The gofugyourself girls also thought it was a weird interview.
I'm not a fan of her styling for this interview, it's like they tried to make her an early 2000's J Lo.
This interview was just really weird. I read it a few times but still don't understand.
So JA tried IVF when she had a spouse, but did not decide to freeze her eggs all the years she was single? I don't understand. Any IVF doctor would have recommended a women to freeze for future use given how eggs deteriorate in quality over time with or without a husband.
And her girlfriends? She has SO many girlfriends. None of them brought up this topic?
I'm sorry IVF did not work for her. It doesn't always work even if you're young. But if one really wants to be a mother, there is a way. Look at Charlize. She never explained, she just became a mother. Same thing with Sandra Bullock. And many others.
PS: the photos look like she's trying to be JLo or Carla Bruni.

With all the rumors of her being pregnant, I AM surprised no one in her ‘goddess circle’ of friends suggested to freeze those eggs, it’s not like they were a bunch of teenagers.
Having kids is not necessary for anyone, obviously she wanted her own if she tried IVF, she doesn’t owe anyone any explanations… but kind of talking like someone who is kinda of clueless and around clueless people too.
Brad always wanted kids
She was married to him for for 5 years They dated for a year or two? she was married to her best friend (her words), didn’t want kids at the height of her fame, and NEVER once thought I’m going to freeze my eggs instead of going to Cabo? Odd…

Can’t honestly compare her to Carla Bruni
She looks like a deer in a headlight on that first picture
Is that her real hair?
For someone who claims her nose job was for “medical reasons”…puh-lease! 
The process of egg freezing was not as developed 20 years ago as it is now.
Around that time, I had some serious medical issues which threatened my reproductive organs. As I was preparing for surgery knowing I may have to have a complete hysterotomy, I talked to my doctor about the possibility of egg freezing. I was advised against it for a number of reasons, one key on being the viability of the eggs at that time being very low.
To add to that, I have a couple of friends who went through IVF 10-15 years ago. In both cases, some of the fertilized eggs were implanted, the rest frozen to come back later for a second child. In both cases, when they went back to the frozen eggs for baby 2, none of the fertilized eggs were viable. One of the friends accepted that one child was her fate and was grateful for it. The other went through the process all over again in order to have a second child.
Based on those experiences, I believe Jen saying she was not told to freeze her eggs. Can't judge old medicine on the advances of today. If there's any lie there, I think it could be in the reflection that women of child baring age have choices now that weren't all that great when Jen was in their shoes.

I'm kinda surprised by some of the views on here, which seem to be suggesting if she wanted children, she would have them -as though she's making this up.
Was freezing eggs really an option 20 years ago? New york times is telling me that egg freezing stopped being experimental in 2012, that puts Jen in her early 40s.....isn't egg freezing pointless at that stage?
I think we always hear about the happy endings- the people who done IVF x number of times and it eventually worked. People don't typically share the sad stories, where they try everything and actually it doesnt work and you make piece with that. I can understand why she wanted to share her story now, presumably at a stage where she's made peace with it.
The 'why didn't she try adoption' is so insensitive I don't even know where to start with that.

Apple and Google gave their female employees the option to freeze since 2014. Which means the technology was already mature years ahead. Anistion is in a different stratosphere than the masses and have far more access to advanced medical technology. I'm just surprised she didn't do it earlier. Or known about it earlier as she stated herself in the interview.
I would never discourage women over 35 to stop trying because many women in their late 30s and 40s have children IVF or naturally. She stops only when she wants to. I'm not bashing her.
