During the Tuesday, Nov. 19, episode of the “She MD” podcast, Pugh, 28, revealed how being diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis inspired her to freeze her eggs.
“[My doctor] Asked if I had ever done an egg count? And I was like, ‘No, what do you mean? I’m too young. Why do I need an egg count?”’ Pugh recalled. “It was very strange because my family are baby-making machines. My grandmother had children when my mother had children in her 40s. I never thought I was going to be any different and There is going to be a problem with that.
Pig didn’t realize he needed to worry about possible infertility.
Halsey, Rita Ora, Olivia Culpo and more celebrities have spoken out about freezing their eggs over the years. “When I tell people that, they’re like, ‘You’re 23, why do you need to do this? Why do you need to freeze your eggs?'” Halsey told Doctors in April 2018. Ovarian reserve is said to occur during the presentation. […]
“Then of course, I learned completely different information, [at] At the age of 27, that I needed to get my eggs out and do it quickly, that was just a mind-boggling feeling,” she noted. “One that I’m really lucky and happy with. That I found out when I did because I’ve wanted children since I was a child.”
PCOS is a hormonal disorder that causes symptoms like irregular periods, excessive hair growth, acne, weight gain and infertility. Meanwhile, endometriosis is a disease in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus and can cause severe pelvic pain.
“I had heard about it. I didn’t think it was something that was common. I really just thought it was something you would feel and you would know you had and It’s really not a problem,” Pugh shared Tuesday. “Then of course, you find that you do and you realize that you have to change your lifestyle. And you have to figure out when you can be active and think about the future. There are, I think for a lot of young women, it’s not necessarily something you’re thinking about doing when you’re 20 or younger.
Pugh, who previously dated Zack Braffwas grateful to be able to use her experience to inspire others to consider their health.
Parenthood has been a tough road for many celebrity parents, including Chrissy Teigen and John Legend. After in vitro fertilization didn’t work on the first try, Teigen wondered if she had done something wrong. “You just look for anything to blame, especially yourself,” Teigen explained to New York magazine’s The Cut in April.

“I’ve been able to tell my friends what I’m doing,” she added. “And since then, I think two or three of my friends have gone to get checked because of my results, and they’ve also found that they have the same thing. So after learning the tiniest bit of information from me, other women have to go see if they have it too. That’s it.”
Earlier this year, Pugh reflected on her plans to have children in the future. He specifically referred to his new film. We live in time. As a project that forced him to re-evaluate his plans for the future.
“I was at the right age to land this film,” she said British Vogue In September, “I’ve been going through a lot of weird things with relationships in the last year and I think part of the story is not being passive, not letting things wash over you. I want to go and find love. I want to and I want to have children.
She continued: “I’ve always wanted to start a family. I’ve wanted to have kids since I was little. I love the idea of a big family. I come from a big family. I love children. Love is just knowing when.”
