Halsey freezes her eggs

Halsey is going to freeze her eggs.
The 23-year-old singer struggles with endometriosis – which is a condition in which the tissue that lines the uterus grows outside of the uterus – and has revealed that in order to fight back against the illness, she is taking measures to make sure she can have children later in life.
Speaking on Thursday’s (26.04.18) episode of ‘The Doctors’, the ‘Colours’ hitmaker said: "I’m 23 years old, and I’m going to freeze my eggs. And when I tell people that, they’re like, ‘You’re 23, why do you need to do that? Why do you need to freeze your eggs?’ Doing an ovarian reserve is important to me because I’m fortunate enough to have that as an option, but I need to be aggressive about protecting my fertility, about protecting myself."
Halsey – who is in a relationship with fellow musician G-Eazy – is no stranger to opening up about her health struggles, and admitted in 2016 that she had suffered a miscarriage whilst on tour.
The star – whose real name is Ashley Frangipane – said at the time: "I beat myself up for it. I think that the reason it happened is just the lifestyle I was living. I wasn’t drinking. I wasn’t doing drugs. I was f***ing overworked – in the hospital every couple of weeks because I was dehydrated, needing bags of IVs brought to my green room. I was anaemic, I was fainting. My body just broke the f**k down."
The ‘Now or Never’ singer was on stage when she miscarried, and previously claimed she regretted performing that night because being a mother was more important to her.
She added: "I want to be a mom more than I want to be a pop star. More than I want to be anything in the world."
