Longtime host and media personality Tamron Hall shocked more than a few people when she announced that she was pregnant with her first child at 48-years-old.
Since that reveal, Hall has shared some of her fertility journey, including the fact that she and her husband used in vitro fertilization (IVF) to conceive.
In addition to the taxing physical demands of having to inject herself, Hall shared that the whole process was emotionally trying as well.
According to Page Six, while speaking with a couple about infertility, Hall said, “I have to be honest with you, being in the IVF clinic, for a while I did feel guilty for being able to afford it. I felt like the game was rigged and although I grew up very poor [and] a 19-year-old single mother brought me home, that now I had an amount of money that put the odds in my favor in some way.”
Hall and her husband Steve Greener welcomed their son Moses in April 2019.
But the journey to her baby bundle was not easy.
In an interview with Allure, Hall shared that the emotional aspect of the journey was compounded by the physical realities.
“When I was traveling, I was afraid to give myself the injections. It was very painful and I couldn’t work up the nerve … It’s brutal,” she explained. “I’m fortunate to be able to have this procedure and access but the pain is real. You don’t want to be ungrateful, you don’t want to minimize what chance you have right now that someone else would beg for. Even though I was grateful and this was an opportunity I had, it still hurt. I’m still bleeding.”
