Jennie Garth, known for her role on “Beverly Hills, 90210,” recently shared with SELF<\/a> magazine that her attempts to have a baby using in vitro fertilization (IVF) are partially to blame for the 10-month separation between Garth and her husband Dave Abrams.<\/p>\n

Abrams, who is nine years younger than 52-year-old Garth, filed for divorced in 2018, but less than a year later, the couple was able to work things out and save their marriage. It wasn’t until now that Garth opened up about the negative effects the IVF process had on their relationship.<\/p>\n

“[We] were trying to have a baby, and it kept failing,” she said. “And that was really, really hard on both of us individually and on our relationship.”<\/p>\n

After several rounds of IVF proved unsuccessful, the couple decided not to focus on having children \u2014 and that, said Garth, who has three children with her ex-husband Peter Facinelli \u2014 “freed us up to love each other in a different way.”<\/p>\n

IVF is a grueling process<\/a> in which the woman receives hormone injections to increase the production of eggs before she is given a trigger shot of Human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG), a hormone produced by the placenta, to release eggs from the follicles. A needle punctures the ovaries multiple times to suck out the eggs. Embryos are then created with the eggs, though the majority of them will not survive.<\/p>\n
