Iza Calzado freezes eggs for future surrogacy

18 Apr – Iza Calzado recently revealed that she has undergone oocyte cryopreservation for future surrogacy.

As reported on Push, the actress, who spoke about her baby plans recently, shared that while she would like to give birth to her own baby, she would prefer to only do it once.

"I said I will commit to one baby, and let's take it from there. However I am preparing that one day I may take that option for the surrogacy," she said.

Calzado stated that that was the reason why she and husband Ben Wintle agreed on freezing her eggs.

The actress also believes that cryopreservation helps women who would like to have a child but not too early in their marriage.

As to why she still wants to carry her own baby, even if it for just once, Calzado said that it is important for her to understand it as an actress.

"I feel like, having going through that will ground me, will really make me really understand [the human in me]. It will challenge me, and it will bring out the better version of me, but I just don't know if I want to keep doing it," she said.
