Tara Lipinski Discloses Second-Trimester Surrogacy Loss, Plans Another Attempt

The news spotlights the challenges of surrogacy, with plans to keep trying using remaining embryos.

Overview

  • Lipinski shared on Instagram Friday that her gestational carrier lost the pregnancy in the second trimester.
  • In a TODAY interview earlier the same day, she said she and husband Todd Kapostasy plan to try again using embryos created in prior IVF.
  • She detailed setbacks on this second surrogacy effort, including their first carrier not being medically cleared, a difficult search for a new carrier, and a failed transfer before the loss.
  • She said advocacy messages moved her to speak out after a trip to Washington, D.C., where she pushed for broader access to IVF.
  • The couple welcomed daughter Georgie via surrogate in October 2023 after years of infertility that included eight egg retrievals, six failed transfers, four miscarriages, and surgeries for endometriosis.
