Erin Foster recently spoke candidly about her IVF journey and revealed what helped her get through it.
The 43-year-old American writer and actress appeared on the Tuesday, October 21, episode of Gwyneth Paltrow’s The Goop podcast with her sister Sara Foster.
On the podcast, the host asked Erin how she maintained her positivity during such a difficult phase in her life, as she underwent multiple rounds of in vitro fertilization (IVF).
The Barely Famous star responded, “There were a lot of times where I wasn’t feeling positive. I mean, there was a point where, I think after maybe 10 or 11 rounds, I kind of had a mental breakdown and I was like, I have to go somewhere.”
She added, “And I don’t remember if I asked or if she proposed, but our little sister Jordan got on a plane. She had a baby. She was living in New York, and she got on a plane and met me in Sonoma.”
They turned off their phones for three days and enjoyed life by cycling and getting massages, which “kind of saved it.”
“It gave me another, I don’t know, three or four years of going through this. It gave me a little bit of stamina because I just felt like I was going to lose my mind a little bit from the frustration. So I hit breaking points,” Erin said.
