Amy Schumer has opened up about her IVF journey in a beautifully honest post. The mum has been praised for speaking so truthfully about her experience.
She wrote: “IVF went like this for us. They retrieved 35 eggs from me. Not bad for the old gal right? Then 26 fertilized! Whoah right?”
“For all of those we got 1 normal embryo from that and 2 low level mosaic (mosaic means there are some abnormal cells but can still lead to a healthy baby) So we feel lucky we got 1!” she shared.
“But what a drop off right? Anyway I have so appreciated everyone sharing their Ivf stories with me. They made me feel empowered and supported. So I wanted to tell you how mine went down” the mum explained.
The I Feel Pretty star stressed that IVF is a draining and overwhelming process that so many women must face. “So many women go through many rounds of ivf which is painful and mentally gruelling. I heard from hundreds of women about their miscarriages and struggles and also many hopeful stories about how after rounds and rounds of ivf it worked!”
“It has been really encouraging. Thank you. Anyway I am so grateful for our son and that we have the resources to get help in this way. I just wanted to share and send love and strength to all of the warrior women who go through this process.”
There’s no doubt many women will seek comfort in Amy’s honesty.
