As time goes on, Olivia Munn is becoming more candid about her battle with breast cancer, and this Mother's Day, she delved into her future of motherhood.

Although she had previously disclosed undergoing four surgeries, including a double mastectomy, and undergoing medically induced menopause due to luminal B breast cancer, a type that thrives on estrogen, she now tells Vogue that this treatment with the drug Lupron not only stopped estrogen production in her ovaries, it depleted her energy entirely, forcing her to not be present for her family.

However, Munn tells Vogue that while she’s not able to carry her own babies, she feels lucky to have options, as before her hysterectomy, she froze her eggs three times at ages 33, 39, and 42. She mentions that during her last procedure, doctors retrieved seven eggs, and out of those, they successfully obtained two healthy embryos.
