The View’s Alyssa Farah Griffin reveals ’emotional’ fertility struggle and admits she’s ‘been a wreck’ through IVF

In a new podcast, Alyssa Farah Griffin has been frank about her personal battle with infertility.

Viewstar Alyssa Farah Griffin has opened up about her “emotional” reproductive battle and said that she has “been a wreck” during the IVF procedure.

Alyssa, 35, revealed that she is “going through IVF right now” during an appearance on The View’s Behind The Table podcast.

“For almost a year and a half, my spouse and I have been hoping and trying to conceive, but it wasn’t occurring naturally.

We decided to proceed with in vitro fertilization. I’m currently on my second cycle.

“I’ll be dealing with that in the doctor’s office tomorrow,” she continued.

“I had two motivations for wanting to share it. A) At my age, I didn’t realize how difficult this would be.

“I thought I had plenty of time because I’m just 35. I’m healthy, I exercise, and I consume a balanced diet, so this won’t be too tough.

“It was simply not working with my physique. After that, we tell Brian too much about the first cycle. I was saying to you, “Oh no, I feel fantastic.”

“On election night, I was working until four in the morning and giving myself IVF injections at midnight on CNN,” Alyssa continued. And I was all right. I didn’t experience hormone fluctuations, weep, or have meltdowns.

However, I believe I became a little arrogant because I was a complete mess during the second cycle. I’ve been emotional, exhausted, and not feeling like myself. And it does, but it simply makes you feel uneasy.

As someone who was taken aback by how difficult it was, I felt compelled to bring it up because, in most of the stories we hear about this, the ladies on the other side are saying, ‘Here’s my baby. Oh, and it was quite difficult to get here.

“And I wanted to just share with women who are struggling that there is hope and you just have to kind of like be present in the process.”

After acknowledging that she and her spouse are unsure of when they will discover “light at the end of the tunnel,” Alyssa went on to say that “it’s incredible what science can do.”

‘SCARY AND INTENSE’

It’s “scary and intense,” she continued, adding that it “can be stressful because it doesn’t always go as easily as you want.”

“They [the doctors and science] are amazing and they do make miracles and they do make things happen,” Alyssa remarked, maintaining her optimism.

Alyssa said that it’s vital to be “soft with your partner” and “loving” while discussing how difficult the IVF procedure might be.

The podcast host then appeared to make a subtle jab at fellow The View actress Whoopi Goldberg at the very end of the broadcast.

In response to the host’s final words, “Let us know,” “And don’t anybody ask her anything until she’s ready to go,” Alyssa said, “Yeah. Please.”

SUSPECTED VEILED DIG

Whoopi may have been the target of the final jab after the Sister Act actress inquired about Alyssa’s pregnancy in 2023.

“Are you pregnant?” Whoopi asked Alyssa in September of last year, without warning.

With a shock, Alyssa put her palm to her chest and exclaimed, “No! God, please!”

Off-camera, one of the other hosts questioned, “Where did that come from?”

“You can’t say that when my mother-in-law is here, who’s dying for me to get pregnant!” Alyssa gave Whoopi a reprimand.

“Why would you say that?”Joy Beharasked.

“Why? Do I appear to be pregnant? Alyssa inquired. “Do I have a tummy?”

“Yes!” “Whoopi said.” “I simply sensed something. I’m so sorry.
