Sarah Herron Shares She’s Not Pregnant After 4th Embryo Transfer and What’s Next for Her Fertility Journey
In our hearts.
Bachelor Nation first met Sarah Herron on Season 17 of “The Bachelor,” and she returned to our screens for Seasons 1 and 3 of “Bachelor in Paradise.”
In September, after many highs and lows of her IVF journey, Sarah revealed that she and her husband Dylan Brown were expecting a baby boy.
Then earlier this year, Sarah took to Instagram to share the tragic news that their baby boy Oliver passed away shortly after he was born prematurely at 24 weeks.
Five months later, the Bachelor Nation star shared that she and Dylan experienced another failed IVF transfer.
Now, Sarah just took to Instagram to reveal that unfortunately her fourth embryo transfer failed.
Alongside a photo of a negative pregnancy test, Sarah wrote, “We are not pregnant. Our 4th embryo transfer has failed. We found out last evening. Disappointed doesn’t really begin to describe the feeling one has after this much loss in such a short amount of time. We’re nearing the reality that it will soon be one year since losing Oliver and we are still baby-less and rounding the corner back to ground zero.”
She continued on, saying, “We brought so much intentionality into this transfer but it just wasn’t enough to make biology work. It doesn’t seem fair. To face infertility, a baby loss, and then the punishment of not being able to get pregnant again after? I don’t understand it. I am angry, envious, and quite frankly confused. We’re going to take the next few days to process and see where we want the road to lead us next in our journey — it’s all on the table at this point.”
Sarah looked ahead at where she and her husband Dylan go from here.
The Bachelor Nation star said, “We have 2 mighty little mosaic embryos that we’ll transfer together and hope for the best. We’re going to start by repeating the ERA to see if my implantation window has changed since having the surgery to remove my retained placenta. After that, we just aren’t sure. Maybe another egg retrieval, maybe donor conception, maybe adoption… maybe a life of travel and fur babies.”
She went on, saying, “I think it’s responsible to acknowledge that we cannot all chase fertility treatments forever and at some point we have to return to ourselves. I have fight left in me for a while longer, but the truth is that I am fatiguing. @eggwhisperer has repeated that she’s with us to the end, and that gives us optimism. We’re sad, but maintain that we have a lot to feel excited about in our future together as a couple that lives life to the fullest. I just wanted to say that ALL the love and support over the last month (and forever!) has been truly felt. Thank you for being an amazing community.”
On her stories, Sarah shared that she and Dylan are planning their dream wedding in Mexico and for now, she’s just looking forward to getting her hair done, getting Botox, and enjoying cocktails during the holidays.
We’re sending Sarah and her family all the best and keeping her in our thoughts as she navigates this next chapter.
