AOC ends egg retrieval, says she'll keep documenting the process

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) announced the completion of her egg retrieval on Sunday, capping off a two-week fertility preservation process she has documented extensively on social media, and said she plans to continue sharing updates with followers.

Ocasio-Cortez, 36, first revealed she had begun the process on Aug. 9, sharing the personal decision with followers via social media and framing it as part of a broader push to be more open about women’s health. She said at the time that she had kept her private life largely guarded but had been weighing the decision, and saving for the procedure, for years.
