Diana Sánchez To Pursue IVF After Failing To Conceive Naturally

She told listeners on her podcast that medical clearance to try for a child came years after postponing pregnancy because of her husband’s leukemia treatment, so she is now turning to in vitro fertilization as the next step.

Overview

  • In mid-May Sánchez appeared on her podcast visibly upset and said she has not become pregnant naturally despite stopping contraception about two and a half years ago.
  • She said doctors cleared the couple to try for a child after her husband Dan Guido completed intensive leukemia treatment, and the pair delayed attempts during his care.
  • Sánchez, 39, described strong fear that age and long-term stress may reduce her chances of carrying a pregnancy and said her husband has been a major source of emotional support.
  • She announced she will pursue in vitro fertilization and said that if the treatment succeeds the couple would consider selecting the baby’s sex.
  • IVF involves fertilizing an egg outside the body and implanting an embryo, and Sánchez’s public disclosure highlights both the medical steps ahead and the emotional toll the couple faces as they move into treatment.
