2.«It's going really well,» Murgatroyd said of IVF. «We're very excited. We're kind of in the last stages of it. There should be — fingers crossed — a pregnancy pretty soon.»As for the toll IVF has taken on her and her relationship with her husband, Murgatroyd said, «You hear the horror stories about it — marriages breaking up all that stuff — it's pretty dramatic, but it hasn't gone there.»«But, yeah there's been some times where I'm like, 'Oh my gosh, I can't believe I'm doing this,'» she admitted. «But honestly, we're good.

This is the path for us.»The couple has been open about their IVF journey on social media, something Chmerkovskiy wasn't sure about at first.«I was a skeptic to the openness of it, and [asking] 'How open we want to be?' Now I realize that the reason why people do struggle with it is because it's such a taboo to talk [about it],» he added. «A lot of people need to understand that maybe it would bypass a lot of the drama if you know that this is an option.»Murgatroyd agreed, telling ET, «It feels good to share it.

It's not like, 'Oh look at me, look at me!' It's just, like, finally I can say something and not feel closed off, and not feel bad about it, and not feel alone.
