Erin Andrews has discussed her struggles with conception and IVF treatment in her blog post. On August 26, the American sports broadcaster shared a blog post on her personal bulletin, titled:
"My seventh time doing IVF, I am not keeping it a secret anymore!"
Erin Andrews, who is married to former NHL player Jarret Stoll, mentioned in her blog that:
"I'm now 43, so my body is kind of stacked against me. I have been trying to do IVF treatment for a while now, but sometimes it doesn't go the way you want it. Your body just doesn't allow it."
The sportscaster also spoke about how this IVF cycle coincides with the NFL season and how she has to juggle treatment with her work.
Andrews revealed:
"I work in an industry where I think women feel the need to keep things like this quiet...who maybe put their careers on the back burner because they don't want to miss out on any opportunities."
She further added:
"I decided that this time around, I would be open with my show producers about having to come to work a little later than normal because I was attending daily fertility appointments. And I am thankful I did it."
