Bachelor alum Sarah Herron says she will do an ’embryo transfer’ to get pregnant… after she and fiancé Dylan Brown lost their premature son

Bachelor Alum Sarah Herron revealed she will try to get pregnant again after the tragic loss of her son Oliver earlier this year. 

The former reality star, 36, said she and fiancé Dylan Brown, are getting ready to do an embryo transfer with the hope of expanding their family. 

In an interview in the US Weekly podcast, Here For the Right Reasons, the content creator explained the game plan.

‘We are gonna do an embryo transfer in October, and if we do not have a successful pregnancy by the end of the year, we’re talking with Dr. Aimee Eyvazzdeh about either doing another egg retrieval or considering egg donor or embryo donor.

The fertility specialist, better known as Dr. Aimee, has a reputation of being an ‘egg whisperer.’

Sarah said the couple would be using the last of their embryos for the procedure and feel relatively confident they will be successful.

‘Fortunately, since I was able to successfully carry a pregnancy — the loss of Oliver had nothing to do with my uterus or my ability to carry him — so because of that, we feel confident that I would be able to carry another pregnancy to term.

‘So most likely surrogacy is not necessary unless we reach a point where… fatigue,’ she explained. 

‘If I’m just like, ‘I can’t do this to my body anymore,’ then we might consider a surrogate. But right now, my uterus is capable, we’ll probably keep giving it a shot.’

After having trouble getting pregnant with Oliver, the advertising executive said tests showed she had diminished ovary reserve, which meant she had fewer eggs that the average woman in her age group. 

‘She turned to IVF to get pregnant with her first child. 

Since the death of her premature son, Sarah has reached out to others, forming The Infertile Circle, a virtual support group for grieving parents and those dealing with infertility. 

‘I just wanted to create something that was not me trying to be an expert, not me trying to be a therapist. It’s just a peer support group. And I tell the women in the group that it’s just as much for me as it is [for] them,’ she said.

Sarah said she and Dylan have been seeing a grief counselor since Oliver’s death. 

‘Seeing a grief-specific counselor was really key because she knew how to walk that path with us a little bit.’

She noted that through therapy she had learned that men and women grieve differently. 

‘Dylan did not carry the child in his body. I did. I grew a biological connection with my son. And so the grieving is gonna be different for me than it is for him.’

‘It doesn’t mean that Dylan is right or wrong,’ she explained, ‘it’s just his grief is different and mine is gonna be different.’
