Screengrab from Toni Talks YT
In a candid interview on her sister Toni Gonzaga's YouTube vlog, "Toni Talks," Alex Gonzaga revealed that she suffered her second miscarriage in October 2023, two years after her first miscarriage in October 2021.
The interview, uploaded on November 5, 2023, shed light on the emotional challenges and the IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) process she and her husband, Mikee Morada, have been undergoing in their quest to start a family.
During the conversation, Alex shared a deeply personal moment when she realized she was in a rush to become pregnant, questioning her impatience with God.
She recalled the pressure she felt from society and how she had publicly expressed her desire to become a mother after her sister Toni's baby shower, despite suffering another miscarriage unbeknownst to those around her.
Alex revealed that her current pregnancy was not naturally conceived but rather through IVF, a decision influenced by former US First Lady Michelle Obama, who had shared her own experience with miscarriage and IVF.
Inspired by Michelle's story, Alex decided to explore the IVF route and put her trust in science to help her realize her dream of motherhood.
The IVF journey proved to be challenging, with multiple procedures and emotional highs and lows. Alex expressed her respect and admiration for all mothers who undergo this process, as they endure hormonal imbalances and make countless sacrifices to bring a child into the world.
Despite her determination, Alex acknowledged the uncertain success rates of IVF pregnancies, citing her doctors' estimate of 50-60% success. She emphasized the role of faith in the process, as she recognized the lack of control over how an embryo develops and attaches to the uterus.
Throughout this journey, Alex praised her husband, Mikee Morada, for being a supportive and understanding partner, and she realized the importance of having a strong support system during challenging times. She shared the pressure she felt from others and the desire for a positive outcome after her difficult experiences.
