“…According to the transtheoretical model (TTM) [23,24] women will progress through five stages that reflect increasing readiness to engage in FP decision-making: pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action and maintenance. These stages reflect the progress of making a choice regarding FP and imply an increasing receptivity to reflect on different factors (e.g., barriers/benefits, as proposed in the HBM) that will influence the final decision [25].…”

The health belief and transtheoretical model were used to describe how women make decisions about fertility preservation (FP) and identify factors that predict their decisions. Methods: This is a two-year prospective study with 107 childless women aged 30-37. Women filled anonline survey assessing individual factors, intentions to do FP, variables of the health belief model, FP decisional stage and FP behaviour. Results: Womens intentions, desire and number of children wanted decreased, fertility knowledge and perceived susceptibility to infertility increased and perceived severity of infertility decreased. A low number of women progressed through the stages of the decision-making process. Only 14% reached a decision and all decided not to do FP. Women's baseline intentions to do FP predicted their decision. Conclusion: Women at the optimal age range to do FP (28-35 years) do not engage in decision-making about it, which reflects their initial low intentions to do FP. Women's decision about FP is influenced by their perceptions about the technique. Pratical implications: Women with a high desire for parenthood and within the optimal age range to do FP should receive accurate information about it and could benefit from prompts to engage in active decisionmaking about doing it.

“…Others might be more in the contemplation stages, which is what I have witnessed among many personality assessment psychologists, wondering what it is they can do. Hopefully, by thinking together about the severity of this problem and by contemplating the ideas I share, there might be some ways in which preparation and action stages begin, much as it does in other behavior change frameworks (Prochaska & Prochaska, 2014).…”
