- Sarah Herron says her late son was “worth” every IVF shot.
- Sarah Herron lost her baby at 24 weeks.
- Oliver was an “IVF miracle” baby who passed away on January 28.
Sarah Herron, who lost her baby at 24 weeks, claims that he was “still worth every” agonizing IVF shot.
On Monday, the former “Bachelor” contestant decorated a heart-shaped arrangement with hundreds of needles she had used during her IVF process as a memorial to her late son Oliver. The centre included a sonogram of her son.
“To start our family, 240 days of IVF shots were required. Overlaying text on top of the footage read: “Almost 2 years and more than 300 needles.” “But even though we lost our healthy kid at 24 weeks, he was still worth a try,” the mother said.
After the devastating loss of her and her fiancé Dylan Brown’s infant at 24 weeks, Herron went into further detail in a subsequent article on why she kept the needles.
The “Bachelor in Paradise” star explained that holding onto the needles so they can be displayed “as a visual monument to the tough journey of infertility” is customary in the IVF community.
Although it may seem foolish, many of us IVF warriors look forward to doing it. a necessary passage. Herron, 36, wrote, “(IYKYK).
She continued by saying that her collection of syringes had grown so enormous that she had started keeping them on her nightstand in her bedroom, but adding lightheartedly that she “liked this hoarding ritual.”
Oliver was a “IVF miracle” baby who passed away on January 28. Herron revealed that she was told to keep receiving Lovenox injections despite losing her son.
“Lovenox is a blood thinner designed to keep a fetus alive in me that is no longer there. It seems cruel,” she said. “I wanted to scream when I got home and saw my drawers filled with syringes. I was furious.
I’m upset that I’ve kept all of these pointless syringes for the past two years. We spent a lot of money on IVF, acupuncture, and surgeries, yet we were STILL struck by lightning, Herron said, which infuriated her.
Yet as she got closer to the end of the injections, she noticed that she was clinging to the procedure and “not wanting it to be the last one.”
“I came to the realization that I would repeat each and every one of those photos. once more. And once more,” she added.
Because they worked, Herron, who made her pregnancy announcement in September 2022, expressed her thankfulness for the time she had with her baby. They gave me my miraculous child, who I got to know and adore incredibly well.
While Oliver’s time was limited, spending those 24 weeks with him wasn’t like being hit by lightning, she continued, “it was wonderful.”
“Therefore this serves as my memorial to Oliver. #wortheveryshot”
Following the devastating death of baby Oliver, Herron has been honest about her challenges with returning home without her son, both physically and mentally.
There is simply no way to get ready for the tiny pregnancy difficulties that can disappear out of the blue.
In May 2021, Herron and Brown got engaged.
