Olivia Munn has only just turned 35, but already she's frozen "a bunch of [her] eggs."
"I turned 35, then you’re high risk," the X-Men: Apocalypse star recently during a podcast chat with Anna Faris.
"I did, years ago, freeze a bunch of eggs," she added, speaking of the retrieval process. "I went to the doctor and did the whole test and he said, 'You know, you actually have a lot of eggs. You're really lucky.'"
Olivia Munn, who has been dating quarterback Aaron Rodgers since 2014, went on to say, "A girlfriend of mine — we’re the same age — she’d gone to the doctor, had a test and she had the egg count of a 50 year old."
“I actually started telling my friends about [egg retrieval]," she continued. "It’s no longer on the experimental list and I think that every girl should do it. For one, you don’t have to race the clock any more."
The woman who didn't mention when she plans to become a mom added, "It’s also just like, why not do it, because I see so many women who go through this. Doomsday is now like whatevers day, because I am prepared."
It certainly does seem as though either more famous women are freezing their eggs lately, or at least more are talking about it. Whitney Cummings, Joanna Krupa and Maria Menounos have all recently shared their stories of trying to increase their odds of conceiving down the road.
As someone who was done having kids by 25, fertility is one topic that hasn't heavily been on my mind. Still though, I'm a little unsure "every girl should do it." Maybe it's not a bad idea for those who can afford the procedure and years of storage, but that isn't easy for everyone.
One comment on People reads, "It’s so freakin expensive. Sure I would’ve done it when I was younger and the eggs were of better quality. It’s just SO expensive. What 20-30 year olds have $10-15K for this procedure?"
Another person vented, "Geez, we’re not all movie stars, Olivia Munn. Not everyone can afford 10K plus to freeze our eggs. #Celebritiesaresoooutoftouch."

More folks you might recognize talking about dreaming of parenthood:
Prince Harry: "Of course, I would love to have kids right now, but there's a process that one has to go through, and tours like this are great fun. Hopefully, I'm doing all right by myself. It would be great to have someone else next to me to share the pressure. But, you know, time will come, and whatever happens, happens." (PR Photos)
Charlize Theron in 2009, before adopting in 2012: “I’ve always known that I wanted to be a mom. I love children. I’ve always loved children. But I’m not like, ‘Oh my god, I really must have kids right now.’ I’ve never felt this pressing urge that some biological clock is ticking.” (PR Photos)

”I’ve got to get on it,” she added, “Because the clock is ticking. It’s a huge lifestyle change, and I take that very seriously.” (PR Photos)
Perez Hilton two years before welcoming a son: “My clock is ticking. I definitely feel open and deserving of a quality relationship. And I also really want to have kids. I don’t necessarily need a partner for that; I can do that on my own. Adopting is great, but I want to have my own biological children."
"I guess that’s where the Latino in me comes out,” he added with a laugh. “When you have worked so hard for so long, your priorities shift. I think there are more important things in life than what you do for a living.” (PR Photos)
