Daisy Kelliher is taking steps to ensure that she has plenty of options in the future when it comes to possibly having children.
The Below Deck Sailing Yacht cast member, who is returning for Season 5 on October 7, opened up about freezing her eggs in a series of videos she posted on Instagram.
In her September 6 video, Daisy confirmed that she was doing her second egg retrieval round. "I have done a cycle. I did a cycle last November, and it went well," she said. "It wasn't amazing, it wasn't a bad result. I got 10 eggs... I did decide to do another cycle."
Daisy said she was hopeful that she would, once again, have 10 viable eggs following her second round.
She then shared an update on her Instagram page on September 11. "I'm lucky my scans are going great," she shared in a second Instagram before revealing that she was hoping to complete the actual retrieval just a few days later, on September 13.
In the caption of her post, Daisy noted that she wanted to be open about the egg freezing process because so many people had reached out to her when she went through the experience the first time.
"I have decided to do a second round of egg freezing with [Apricity Fertility]. I had so many questions from friends during my first round I wanted to share my experience with my followers," she wrote. "I think it’s amazing to be able to put steps in place to feel more in control of my fertility. Even if you don’t plan on freezing your eggs or feel you have plenty of time I urge you to go and check your fertility for peace of mind."
Why is Daisy Kelliher freezing her eggs?
As Daisy explained in a video, she decided to freeze her eggs because she wanted to keep her "option[s]" open.
"The reason I decided to freeze my eggs is because I was 36, now I'm 37 and I am still single. I would like the option to have a family," she said in her Instagram video. "At the moment, I would like a family, but if that doesn't happen, that's OK."
She also added that she is "very aware and so should everyone else be this doesn't guarantee fertility or an embryo or having a child."
"But, the more eggs you get, the higher the chance there is..." she said. "It's empowering being able to know that I did everything I could."
Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 premieres on Monday, October 7 at 9/8c on Bravo. Stream episodes the next day on Peacock.
