“Squad” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez completed her egg-freezing journey and vowed to continue sharing updates, despite complaining last week about the “negativity” she’s faced for her social media postings on the process.
The 36-year-old Bronx and Queens congresswomen took her nearly 10 million Instagram followers along for the final day of the two week process — egg retrieval day — documenting the day starting at 5:30 a.m., in a post shared on Saturday.
Ocasio-Cortez was decked out in skincare eye masks for the procedure, which she thought “was a really nice way to bring some lightness to this process,” she said.
After the egg-retrieval procedure was complete, Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said, “[I] was informed of my final count, both in the number of eggs retrieved and which of those eggs were mature.
“As I’ve mentioned previously, out of respect for all the different kinds of fertility and family journeys that people have, I will not be sharing my specific numbers.”
“So instead of focusing on generalizations and fear, I instead want to encourage people to operate from the facts of your body specifically and knowledge of our reproductive systems, particularly shared by licensed fertility specialists,” she said.
The congresswoman recalled how her doctor explained the egg retrieval procedure where she would be “under anesthesia and asleep the entire time.”
“And as I sat on the other side of my doctor’s desk, I had this sudden intrusive fear-based thought. I imagined myself waking up totally alone,” she said in the social media video that has the comments section limited.

I think all this nonsense is to deflect attention away from the socialist bartender's ketamine addiction and illegally using campaign contributions to pay for it. The commie needs to chat about that a little bit.
I must ask you AOC…. Why cant men have their eggs harvested
And I care because...?
WHO CARES !!!!!!!!!!
In an attempt to bring the coo-coo back from extinction
Not everything needs to be shared on the internet
Does a female taking her eggs out hasten the onset of menopause? The ladies are born with only a finite number and do not make more over their life right? So when they stop ovulating and menstruating their hormones go whacky. Ladies bodies are so complex it’s no wonder they have so many issues.
I hope the Dims run her in 2028. I would actually pay to watch a debate between her and Rubio, Vance, or whomever the Republicans run against her. Come to think about it...even a fence post would have a good chance of winning that debate.
She would be more fun than Kamala thats for sure
Not everything needs to be shared on the internet
Maybe so but I’d bet it will be shared a bit.
‘keep’ dem doggies rolling rawhide.
Astute observation. I personally don’t give a damn about AOC’s eggs. Lizards lay a lot of them.
“Vows to share”
Please, don’t.
My first impression of her was LIAR.
She would no more save her eggs than she would have all her teeth pulled.
Liar, liar, hair on fire.
“10 million Instagram followers “
God help us
I'd be willing to pay her good money never to breed. Future generations would be better off without her in the gene pool.
Is there a shortage of bartenders.
I heard her tell a reporter that she likes to keep her personal life private.
Is like to know how she defines “private”. Because I don’t think broadcasting her egg journey is private.
“pay for it”

Just read that Sandy’s home country, Puerto Rico, has rejected statehood in the U.S. They’re scared they’ll have to pay increased taxes to support DSA’s Soviet America.
