Mandy Moore Says One Round of IVF Failed Before Surprise Third Pregnancy

Her account shows that using IVF as an insurance policy can fail to produce embryos, leaving her to process rapid family growth.

Overview

  • Moore revealed on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast that one round of IVF produced no viable eggs or embryos and did not create a frozen option for a future child.
  • She said the interview aired on Tuesday and that she and husband Taylor Goldsmith were emotionally prepared to stay a family of four after the unsuccessful cycle.
  • Despite the failed IVF, Moore conceived naturally and welcomed daughter Louise in September 2024 as an unplanned but welcome addition to their family.
  • Moore said she is still recovering emotionally from having three children in roughly three and a half years while noting her pregnancies were physically easy and she did not suffer postpartum complications.
  • Her openness builds on earlier public discussions about fertility, including a possible endometriosis concern, and adds to public conversations about the limits of IVF and expectations for fertility care.
