How Egg Freezing Changed My Skin & How I Managed It – Beragampengetahuan

Inside, ya girl was exhausted. I was sleeping more than ever and my face looked like Paul Rudd was slowly harvesting me for my youthful energy. The hormones made me feel older. Though I had avoided the breakouts, I know this isn’t the case for plenty of other women. After the eggs are removed during the egg retrieval procedure, the follicle where each egg grows switches to predominantly making progesterone over estrogen. Increased progesterone levels can kickstart sebum production and cause clogged pores. Most people may not notice a difference, but those prone to hormonal acne are often advised to pay attention to their skincare routine, diet, and hydration levels after egg retrieval to avoid and minimize breakouts. About seven to 14 days after retrieval, the progesterone levels tend to plummet, you’ll get your period, and following that, your skin should return to baseline.
