A “Dancing With the Stars” pro is asking fans to stick by her and give her love and support as she goes through the IVF process.
In June 2021, Peta Murgatroyd shared her story with People magazine, opening up about suffering miscarriages while trying to conceive her second child with her husband Maksim Chmerkovskiy.
“When? Why me? Why can’t I have another child when it was so easy in the past? All of these questions just really bothered me and that’s what brought me to finally see a specialist,” Murgatroyd recalled. She underwent some testing and was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Her doctors have advised her to try IVF and she has been candid in sharing the journey with fans.
This week, she shared an important update.

Murgatroyd Underwent Her Transfer
Over the past few weeks, Murgatroyd has shared videos of herself getting injections, going for ultrasounds, and just about everything in between. She is at the point where the transfer of her fertilized egg is going to take place, and she’s documenting what she’s going through and sharing some of the moments — good and bad — with fans on social media.
“I tried to make this morning normal. I wanted to keep the vibes calm, the pressure low and just be in the moment in our morning family chaos. I showered, made coffee, we played Shai’s favorite card game Rat-a-Tat Cat and then said goodbye to Shai like it was any other day,” Murgatroyd captioned an Instagram post.
“I cleared my mind at the beach. The beach is my healing ground. I need to feel the sand through my toes to know I’m good and ready to go. I said my little prayers and we got on with our drive,” she added.
She went on to call the experience “wild” and to ask fans for their love.
“I’m still processing everything one day at a time and have loved taking you all along for the ride. Please stay with me, I need the love,” she wrote.
On August 23, 2022, Murgatroyd revealed that the transfer was unsuccessful.
“I will get my baby, just not right now. …and to all the women who have gone through this multiple times over, I bow down. You’re warriors and you give me strength everyday. This s*** ain’t easy,” she captioned an emotional Instagram video.
