Eggs done as stated (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ova

'eggs' is the definition.
(term for egg cells)

'done as stated' is the wordplay.
'done' becomes 'over' (both can mean completed).
'as stated' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'over' is a homophone of 'OVA'.

(Other definitions for ova that I've seen before include "Potential life sources" , "Latin egg-cells" , "Multiple Latin eggs" , "Female egg-cells" , "Likely end for Russian Fed cup players" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
