Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is opening up about one of the most personal decisions of her life: freezing her eggs. After undergoing an egg retrieval procedure, AOC shared details of the experience publicly, saying she hopes to feel more in control of her future fertility and family planning options.
On this “Record Rewind” episode of “Greta Wire,” Greta Van Susteren sits down with board-certified OB-GYN and obesity medicine physician Dr. Jennifer Ashton to discuss why public figures sharing health experiences can have a powerful impact.
“Dr. Jen” breaks down the realities of egg freezing, including costs, success rates, medical risks, ideal timing, and how rapidly changing fertility technology is reshaping women’s health care.
The conversation also explores whether fertility preservation could become a standard topic during routine medical visits and why awareness about reproductive options may be more important than ever.
If you’ve ever wondered how egg freezing works, what the odds are, or whether it’s the right choice for some women, this episode offers an informative and timely discussion.
