The new mom opened up to PEOPLE in a recent issue about howshe conceived via in vitro fertilization, after difficulties in getting pregnant for some time.
“When you do IVF, you take progesterone shots and medication for almost a month leading up to your [embryo] transfer. You arebasically pumping yourself up with hormones,” she recalled. “That made me gain weight, it made me very moody, it made me feel not my usual self. It is something people don’t know, or maybe they don’t talk about.”
Javid hit a hiccup earlier in the summer when doctors discovered polyps in her uterine lining; they had to first remove them before they could do an embryo transfer. She then had a little bit of “down time” before going on medication again. Doctorsfinally transferred the embryoon Aug. 23 — and it stuck.
“We had that grueling 10-day waiting period when you’ve done the transfer but you don’t know if it worked, and you just have to wait until you are 10 days in so it will show up on a blood test,” the star told PEOPLE.
She added, “We basically just hung out, stayed super calm and positive and laughed a lotand waited until we went in andgot the blood test and urine test.”
And when the news was positive? “That moment was just surreal,” Javid shared. “It was the blessing we had been praying for. It was just the beginning of, ‘Finally, thank God.’ “
