It’s not every day that you see a sitting congresswoman giving herself hormone shots on social media. But last week, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) went further by taking her millions of social media followers along with her–documenting every shot, her unfiltered thoughts, and bringing awareness to fertility education that us fertility doctors have been trying to achieve for over a decade.
The vision of her administering fertility shots in the green room before going on air to discuss her future political career sent the internet in a tailspin. Why was she doing this? What was her motivation? Do frozen eggs even work? Was this simply a political stunt?
