Florence Pugh Discusses Egg Freezing and Fertility

Florence Pugh, the 28-year-old actress, revealed on the SHE MD podcast that she decided to freeze her eggs at 27 after being diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis, which can affect fertility. A gut feeling and a series of 'weird dreams' prompted her to seek medical advice, leading to a diagnosis by Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi. Pugh initially found the suggestion to get an egg count surprising due to her family's history of easy pregnancies, but the diagnosis was a 'mind-boggling realization' that changed her life, prompting her to take her reproductive health seriously. She has since used her experience to inform friends, some of whom discovered similar conditions. Pugh stresses the importance of awareness and education about reproductive health issues for women in their 20s.
