From the outside looking in glamorous Booby Tape co-founder Bianca Roccisano seemingly has it all – a successful career, a multimillion dollar company, a lavish lifestyle and A-list friends.

But the entrepreneur, 37, says there are two things missing in her life, a life partner and a baby.

Earlier this week, Bianca bravely revealed she wants to try motherhood solo because her incredible success has made it hard for her to find a husband. 

She said she is exploring her options and considering both IVF and surrogacy to achieve her dreams of becoming a mother.

Speaking candidly to Daily Mail Australia, Bianca admitted she has mixed emotions about her decision to become a single mother – and that comes with a lot of ‘sadness’.

Bianca admitted she never thought she would have to do it on her own. 

‘Everyone is congratulating me, don’t get me wrong I’m excited but I’m really sad as well, it’s not how I wanted to do things,’ she said. 

‘But at the same time, I don’t want to miss out on the opportunity, so it’s a mixed array of emotions, but ultimately if I don’t meet that person I’m going to be a mum and that’s exciting.’

Bianca has had her eggs frozen as ‘back up’ and is giving herself approximately one year to find the man of her dreams and start a family. If not, she will bravely go it alone. 

‘I have done everything alone my entire life. Been incredibly independent as I moved out of home when I was 15 years of age and went to boarding school. This is the one thing in my life I didn’t ever dream I would have to do alone,’ she explained.

‘It’s a mixed array of emotions at the moment, it’s a lot you know, it’s not how I thought I would have a family but what do I do.

‘When you’re a kid you think I’m going to get married at 26, have a baby by 30 and three babies by 35 and live happily ever after, but that’s not the destiny for me.’

The brunette beauty would love to find a man with ‘good values and morals’ and has been on numerous dates, but finds even the most successful businessmen are often emasculated by successful women like herself. 

‘I want to make it clear I would make time if I had the opportunity to, but I have been going on dates and I get this reoccurring message, they’re like, ”you’re such a cool chic, I love hanging out with you but I would never feel comfortable as a man that you make more money than me,” she said. 

‘The problem is, I’m an alpha woman and I’m attracted to alpha men and they’re feeling emasculated and then my feminism kicks in. I’m like, ”why are we’re talking about money on one of our first dates?”

Bianca, who is based between her hometown in Melbourne and Los Angeles, has also dated some men who try to use her for her money, but she refuses to be a ‘sugar mumma’.

‘Then I find the other extreme and they love it, one younger guy was like, ”my credit card isn’t working can you pay?” I’ve had people ask to pay for trips,’ she said.

Bianca thinks there is a lot of pressure placed on women to have a child and the time restraints on fertility. 

‘I have been wanting a family for so long and I’ve been pushing it until the final hours,’ Bianca admitted. 

‘If I was a male I would have more time. My eggs have been frozen and I have to find a sperm donor. 

Bianca said she was at first scared to tell her father about her decision to become a single mother, but her family have been nothing but supportive. 

‘My family can’t wait for the family to grow. They really wanted me to have a partner but in saying that, they support my decision,’ she said. 

‘I come from a really traditional country family but they’ve been supportive. I was really scared to tell my dad.’

But she said her sister Bridgett is her ‘number one supporter’.

Bianca, who describes herself as very ‘maternal,’ said her career has taken a toll on her and she works ‘from 6am to 11pm every single day without a day off. I look like I’m out and social, but I’m working constantly’.

Bianca wants to encourage women to freeze their eggs as soon as they can as a ‘back up’ for motherhood. 

‘I would advise women to do it earlier. I’ve done research and the optimal time to take your eggs out is between early 25 and early thirties,’ she said. 

‘I actually thought I’d meet someone and didn’t think I’d be in the situation. I’m trying to work but I’m turning 38 in August. Get your eggs out, it’s the best investment ever,’ she said.

‘I’ve been raised as well, never rely on a man for anything. So this is a backup.’

According to IVF Australia, an Elective Egg Freezing Cycle costs $6,000.

Success rates ‘for a woman aged 35 or under, one stimulated cycle would result in the collection of 10 – 12 eggs of which 7 – 9 would be suitable for vitrification and storage.’

The website states: ‘Success rates are lower for women over 35, which is why we recommend preserving your fertility sooner rather than later.’

‘If you’re over the age of 38, egg freezing may not be a suitable avenue. However, there are more immediate options that can be explored such as the use of donor sperm.’

What is egg freezing? 

Egg freezing dates back to 1986 when the first pregnancy from a frozen egg was reported in the Lancet Journal.

Collected eggs were preserved in cryogenic tanks after being frozen ‘slowly’ for many years.

In the early 2000s, scientists began experimenting with an ‘ultra-rapid’ freezing technique called vitrification.

Using this process, the temperature of an egg plummets thousands of degrees per minute, resulting in a glass-like cell structure that is stronger than other crystalline ice forms.

They are then stored in cryogenic tanks, for up to 25 years.

In preparation for having her eggs retrieved, a woman must undergo the first stage of an IVF cycle, which uses hormones to stimulate more eggs into maturity, then another set of hormones to trigger the eggs’ release.

Patients inject these drugs at home and are usually closely monitored by their doctors.

There are many different forms of these hormone treatments, ranging in cost from about $800 to $6,000 per cycle, and six to 10 weeks in duration.

Then, the eggs are surgically retrieved in a minimally-invasive procedure.
