\u201cIt is no small thing, physically nor emotionally yet we are made to feel it is something to bear alone and secretly with some kind of sense of failure.\u201d\n She continued, \u201cInstead of receiving the much needed compassion and empathy and healing which we so need. Female health and wellness left to the care of the male ideology has become lax at best, ignorant in fact, and vi:olently oppressive in effort.\u201d\n In her exclusive conversation with PEOPLE, Murgatroyd spoke about her recent pregnancy loss for the first time. She recalled lying in a hospital bed hours after her 5-year-old son Shai watched her being put into an ambulance. She called for help after finding herself on her little boy\u2019s bedroom floor, completely unable to move after testing positive for coronavirus days prior.\n \u201cI had no strength. I couldn\u2019t open a dishwasher. I couldn\u2019t open the fridge to feed Shai, to get him some toast,\u201d the pro dancer said. \u201cIt got so bad that my breath was starting to be affected. It was really dramatic.\u201d\n In the hospital, Murgatroyd called her husband, who was thousands of miles away in Ukraine, and placed him on speaker phone as the doctor entered her room.\n \u201cI thought he was going to reveal some really bad news. I was like, \u2018What\u2019s wrong?\u2019 His face dropped,\u201d she recalled of that night in October 2021. \u201cHe said, \u2018Did you know you were pregnant?\u2019 \u201d\n On the other end of the phone, Chmerkovskiy began to celebrate. \u201cHe heard the doctor say, \u2018You\u2019re pregnant,\u2019 \u201d she remembered. But through his excitement, he misheard the news: Murgatroyd had already lost the baby.\n Murgatroyd \u201cultimately had no idea\u201d she was expecting, a notion she said helped her through her healing process.\n \u201cI didn\u2019t have that super joyous moment of, \u2018I\u2019m pregnant again!\u2019 \u201d she said, adding that she had started bleeding two days earlier but attributed it to her period. \u201cI just had the moment of, \u2018You lost it.\u2019 \u201d\n Since speaking with PEOPLE about the loss, Murgatroyd has been open about trying to have a second baby via in vitro fertilization, sharing an Instagram video of her first round of injections on Wednesday.\n \u201cMy first night of IVF treatment \ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffb,\u201d Murgatroyd wrote in the caption. \u201cTaking you guys on this journey with me for baby no: 2 is actually kinda special and incredible. I love sharing stuff with you all, and well\u2026.this is me being as transparent as possible.\u201d\n Added the New Zealand native: \u201cLet\u2019s normalize the conversations surrounding miscarriages and IVF and create an environment that is more comfortable for all women \u2764\ufe0f Thank you @drmarksurrey @scrcivf for making this possible for my family XO.\u201d\n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cWe, as females don\u2019t have a forum to discuss the profundity of this loss,\u201d Sharon Stone commented under a PEOPLE Instagram post Sharon Stone revealed she has suffered nine miscarriages.
