Ocasio-Cortez posts videos confirming she’s freezing her eggs
The New York Democrat said she wants to normalize fertility conversations and shared hormone injections as elective egg-freezing cycles have nearly quadrupled, UCLA researchers found.
- On Saturday, U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez announced she is freezing her eggs to "feel more in control of her life." The 36-year-old noted she has been saving for the procedure, as insurance coverage for elective freezing remains rare.
- Societal shifts, including a 2026 National Science Foundation survey on a "mating gap," contribute to the trend. Yale University anthropologist Marcia Inhorn, author of "Motherhood on Ice," describes the process as a way for professional women to preserve fertility while waiting for partners.
- Elective egg freezing typically costs between $10,000 and $15,000, according to Dr. Jen Eaton, president of the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology. The process involves two weeks of hormone injections followed by a 10-to-30-minute outpatient retrieval procedure.
- Public interest has surged, with more than 39,000 cycles recorded in 2024 compared to 6,090 in 2014. Ocasio-Cortez joins media personality Kourtney Kardashian and actors Rebel Wilson and Florence Pugh in discussing their plans, validating the decision for others.
- Dr. Pardis Hosseinzadeh, assistant professor of gynecology and obstetrics at Johns Hopkins Medicine, advises the procedure is most effective before age 35. "Women who do this procedure before the age of 35 typically have better outcomes," Hosseinzadeh said, citing declining egg quality.
