"I've made life decisions bases on such statements that proved to be patently false and not at all backed by real science."
How would this knowledge impact a life decision? If your doctor told you "The ABVD I'm prescribing will make you infertile" and you decided to freeze your eggs, but later found out that ABVD didn't actually make you infertile, because of this phenomenon, well, sure, I could see that. But knowing the fact that ovaries are (possibly) capable of producing new eggs doesn't invalidate any of our current knowledge about how fertility declines with age, or the effectiveness of our current treatments for it.
Great, our ovaries might produce new eggs in addition to merely storing them, AND all of the statistics about infertility, difficulty conceiving, and chromosomal abnormalities still apply just as they did before we knew that! Even if our ovaries are producing new eggs right now while we're completely unaware of it, all of the statistics we have about fertility already take this into account, by virtue of the fact that... well, they were measured on women with ovaries.
Even if new fertility treatments are created out of this knowledge in the future, it's still many years out. First, this research has to be expanded, duplicated, and confirmed. Second, many many years of expensive clinical trials and research for the FDA need to be done. Third, there's a lot more that goes into fertility besides the eggs. And, while it's great that new research comes out, it's usually smart to hedge your bets and make life decisions that don't include the assumption that awesome new research is going to come out that will fix all your problems in the future.
Also, I wouldn't be so harsh to criticize the doctors who told this to you. Science is about evolving knowledge and discovering new things. Prior to this discovery, all the existing research suggested that women were born with all the eggs they would ever have. They cut open ovaries, counted eggs, looked at them under microscopes, studied how they matured, watched ovaries in vivo, and documented the organ as thoroughly as they could. Science! Now we have some more science that was just done, and it described a new feature of ovaries that we didn't know about before. Awesome!
This is like getting pissed of at Galileo because he lied about the number of planets in the solar system. I mean, sure, you could argue that Galileo should more accurately say "we only know about 6 planets, and there may be others out there" but, heck, there also could be some crazy cheat code out there to allow us to spontaneously regenerate limbs, or change our eye color on demand. You can't get made at doctors for saying: "No, your arm cannot be grown back" just because some crazy new research comes out five years later. We just don't know.
As unsatisfying as it can be sometimes, the best we can do is act on the knowledge that we know now, and simply adapt as we discover new things.
