Olivia Munn and John Mulaney plan to grow their family despite her hysterectomy. She had her eggs frozen before the surgery, which was part of her cancer fight.

Olivia Munn revealed she underwent a full hysterectomy in her fight against breast cancer — but with two new viable frozen embryos banked, she says her and her family's future is bright. Munn's intensive treatment has made it impossible for her and her partner, comedian John Mulaney, to get pregnant again the old-fashioned way. Even so, the couple weren't ready to give up on the idea of expanding their family, she told Vogue in an interview published on Mother's Day.

According to the Mayo Clinic, luminal B breast cancer is more aggressive than other forms and feeds on the body's estrogen — which made it necessary for Munn's doctors to induce early menopause. However, taking an estrogen-suppressing drug, Lupron, to induce menopause left Munn with “next-level, debilitating exhaustion.' 'I would wake up in the morning and almost immediately need to get back into bed,' she told Vogue.
