Rita Ora Says She Froze Eggs at 24 and 27 After Doctor's Advice

She describes the choice as guided by medical timing to preserve egg quality, reflecting concerns shaped by her mother's breast cancer.

Overview

  • Rita Ora, 35, disclosed in Women's Health UK that she underwent two egg retrievals in her mid‑20s, first at 24 and again at 27.
  • She said a physician advised that the optimal window for egg retrieval is in the 20s because quality declines thereafter.
  • She linked her long‑term health planning to her mother's 2005 breast cancer diagnosis, which heightened her focus on longevity.
  • Ora said she has no immediate plans to use the frozen eggs and will consider parenthood when the timing feels right.
  • Fertility specialist Dr. Nadine Al‑Kaisi outlined social freezing and AMH testing, recommending earlier retrievals and noting a 35‑year‑old may aim for about 30–35 eggs, with roughly 20% of fertility patients over 40.
