Gretchen Rossi has revealed that she and Slade Smiley are trying to get pregnant via IVF. Now, she’s sharing every aspect of her journey.

Gretchen Rossi proposed to Slade Smiley during her last season of The Real Housewives of Orange County. He had been begging her to get married for a while, but she had always focused on the financial hardships he was facing. But she wanted to let him know she was there for him and proposed to him. But it has been years since she proposed and they have yet to get married. As it turns out, they have been focusing on starting a family.

Rossi recently opened up about her IVF journey. On Instagram, she shared that she’s planning on documenting everything to her The Real Housewives of Orange County fans. On her Instagram Live, fans saw how she gave herself injections to prepare for her baby journey. She also revealed that she’s doing an interview with a doctor for all of those who struggle to get pregnant.

As it turns out, Gretchen Rossi isn’t the first person to document her IVF journey. Meghan King Edmonds documented her IVF journey two years ago when she was trying to get pregnant with Aspen. She’s now pregnant with twin boys.
