Peta Murgatroyd documents ‘wild’ IVF embryo transfer: video
Peta Murgatroyd brought her Instagram followers along to her IVF embryo transfer.
The “Dancing With the Stars” pro, 36, documented her procedure prep in a video Monday, from waking and showering to playing a card game with her husband, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, and their 5-year-old son, Shai.
“I tried to make this morning normal,” the choreographer captioned the footage. “I wanted to keep the vibes calm, the pressure low and just be in the moment in our morning family chaos.
“I showered, made coffee, we played Shai’s favorite card game Rat-a-Tat Cat and then said goodbye to Shai like it was any other day,” Murgatroyd continued.
Ahead of her appointment, the actress hit the beach with Chmerkovskiy, 42, calling it her “healing ground.”
Murgatroyd explained, “I cleared my mind [there]. I need to feel the sand through my toes to know I’m good and ready to go. I said my little prayers and we got on with our drive.”
The “Vallium virgin” continued filming when she arrived at the fertility clinic.
After telling viewers that the drugs “just hit,” Murgatroyd laughed and sang for the camera before referring to the speculum tool as her “enemy.”
“Next time I get on here, I’m gonna be pregnant,” the “Burn the Floor” alum went on to predict. “This one is gonna stick.”
She called the experience “wild” in her caption, concluding, “I’m still processing everything one day at a time and have loved taking you all along for the ride. Please stay with me, I need the love.”
Murgatroyd has been documenting her IVF journey since speaking to People in June about suffering three miscarriages over the last two years.
“I don’t have any other words but hope and positivity,” the “Faith Hope Love” star, who wed Chmerkovskiy in July 2017, told the outlet at the time of her plans to pursue IVF.
“I’m crossing my fingers that this is going to work.”
Earlier this month, Murgatroyd thanked her doctor via Instagram for giving her a “last chance” at conceiving a sibling for Shai.
“You never made me feel like I was broken,” she wrote in her Aug. 4 tribute. “Instead, you gave me a solution and you ultimately gave me my sanity. … Whatever the outcome may be, I am so grateful.”
