I don't think I could ever do IVF again," she shared in an August 2020 interview on Sunday Today with Willie Geist. "I decided that I can't be pregnant ever again. We thought about a surrogate, but I think we're going to hold off for right now."
In another interview with TODAY, Schumer said that they have explored this part. “It is something we’ve absolutely explored,” Schumer, 39, told TODAY Parents.
On The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2021, she again talked about what she thinks of another child. "Oh God, I hope so. We're trying to figure it out. I mean, you know, it's like there's nothing better," she said.
Schumer went through IVF after welcoming her son Gene David in May 2019. Appearing on an episode of Chelsea Handler's iHeartRadio podcast, "I did IVF, we made embryos and I went through the IVF process, which is so hard. People do it so many times. I did it one time and I was like, I'm gonna die. This is awful," she said.
"I got like 31 eggs and I was like, I'm Fertile Myrtle. I felt very hot," Schumer continued. "And then the drop off after fertilization, we only got one normal embryo and we tried and it didn't work … and now I don't have a uterus."
She referred to her whole pregnancy period as the hardest moment.
