Bachelor Alum Susie Evans Starts an Emotional Egg-Freezing Journey: Here's Why
Bachelor Nation alum Susie Evans has begun hormone injections ahead of an egg retrieval in two weeks, sharing raw pre-procedure footage and calling the start of her fertility journey very emotional.
Susie Evans, yes, the Susie from Clayton Echard's Bachelor season, is pressing pause on the chaos to focus on her fertility. At 32, she just started the meds to freeze her eggs and, true to form, she brought her followers along for the ride.
What she shared
On Saturday, May 2, Evans posted that she had officially kicked off hormone injections, with an egg retrieval planned in about two weeks. She even shared footage of one of those pre-procedure shots. The first night hit hard: she described feeling a lot at once — fear, sadness, and a big wave of gratitude for the science that lets her do this in the first place.
Before that inaugural injection, she says she was overwhelmed. Knowing she would have to slow down in the two-week lead-up to retrieval, she loaded up her schedule beforehand — and then had a quiet moment where everything caught up with her. She admitted she can be tough on herself about not having every life box checked yet, but she also took stock and felt genuinely proud of how far she has come.
Why now
Evans is clear about the reason: she is still sorting out the whole marriage-and-kids chapter, and freezing her eggs gives her options while she figures it out. She framed it as an exercise in choosing herself — not in a dramatic, cut-everyone-off way, but in a boundaries-and-priorities way.
"So without further ado, let's get these eggs on ice, y'all!!!"
The bigger picture
Part of her reflection was about how she got here. She is not just the woman who weathered a very public relationship on a hit ABC dating show. She has done a lot on her own terms: years living in Tokyo, solo trips through multiple countries, a Miss Virginia USA crown, and yes, saying yes to a wild TV opportunity that changed her life. She credits those choices with giving her experiences she would not have had if she had followed a different path.
What she said last month
Back on April 9, in a YouTube vlog, Evans told viewers she had decided to freeze her eggs after weighing her options. She said the process was teaching her a ton and that, for now, she is choosing herself. She has stepped back from some relationship-focused goals and, while she is not bailing on friends, she is carving out more space to do things for herself instead of saying yes to everything for everyone else.
Quick refresher on Susie
Evans first hit reality TV radar as a finalist on Clayton Echard's season of The Bachelor — and his ex. Post-show, she has kept a loyal following, and her updates tend to be more candid than glossy. This fertility chapter fits that pattern: personal, specific, and not sugarcoated.

It is a very modern kind of Bachelor update: less roses, more real-life logistics. And honestly, it is refreshing to see someone from the franchise talk through a decision like this with a mix of nerves and pride, without turning it into a brand rollout. If you want the unvarnished stuff, this is it.
