“For those of you who haven’t followed along with our parenthood journey, we have lost two pregnancies, I almost lost my life both times with internal bleeding, resulting in losing both of my Fallopian tubes, which has caused us to not be able to conceive naturally,” Samantha began the emotional post.
The CEO and founder of non-profit Fur the Brand, 34, went on to share thatthe couple started in-vitro fertilization (IVF)in July, noting that the process was “physically demanding and emotionally challenging for the both of us.”
Samantha detailed “pumping my body with so many hormones, the anxiety, the hope, truly being a human science project,” adding that she did this with a fear of needles, knowing she’d sometimes require as many as three in a day.
“It was not easy on me or for Patrick to have to cause pain to me. I would like to believe IVF has made our relationship stronger,” she wrote.
Samantha — who tied the knot with theWWE commentatorin Aug. 2020 — said that their good news came, “after about 150 shots, a surgery, a transfer, countless blood tests, waiting on embryos, genetic testing, hoping for a big fat positive on that pee stick.”
“You will be parents! And remember that after a storm, a rainbow can occur 🌈.”
