In February this year, Amanda Balionis announced that she had decided to freeze her eggs, and would document her journey via her Instagram handle for her followers.

In an Instagram Reel uploaded on February 27, Balionis gave an in-depth explanation of the process whilst documenting the timeline of the entire process.

"Timeline: From my first apt to the retrieval surgery it was 26 days. From when the shots started to the retrieval it was 10 days. What to know: There is a lot of bloodwork required. Once you start the shots, you have to be in one place through the retrieval surgery (~10 days). Only light workouts are recommended. The procedure itself is quick, but you’ll want 48 hours to rest and recover after. What I experienced: The shots made me pretty tired and a little crampy but nothing major. Weirdly no appetite either."

Talking about the benefits of this procedure, the NBC Golf reporter said:

"Biggest takeaways: I’m happy I did this for my piece of mind. This felt like a really loving thing to do for my future, regardless of if I choose to have kids or not. If you have a busy schedule, the key is carving out 12 days where you will be home and available to go to apts often. This process helps you learn about your body in an entirely different way, and made me think about what I want for myself beyond my professional goals and busy life. Like most things in life, this process was simple but not easy, but ultimately felt worth it for me."

Besides the Augusta National Women's Amateur, Balionis covered two other golf tournaments earlier this year in the professional men's circuit. She covered the WM Phoenix Open and Genesis Invitational, with the former event being won by Thomas Detry with a score of 24 under, and the latter by Ludvig Aberg with a score of 12 under.
