Amy Schumeris opening up about her difficult experience with in vitro fertilization.
“I did IVF, we made embryos and I went through the IVF process, which is so hard. People do it so many times. I did it one time and I was like, I’m gonna die. This is awful,” she said.
“I got like 31 eggs and I was like, I’m Fertile Myrtle. I felt very hot,” Schumer continued. “And then the drop off after fertilization, we only got one normal embryo and we tried and it didn’t work … and now I don’t have a uterus.”
