Erin Andrews is refusing to give up on her dream of expanding her family, revealing she recently attempted another round of IVF injections despite previous challenges. The NFL sportscaster, who welcomed son Mack via surrogate in 2023 with husband Jarret Stoll, shared her resilient mindset on her podcast Calm Down With Erin and Charissa.
"I just feel like I believe my body can do it, even though I know that my age is not—with what history says, it's not great with producing eggs and the viability of your eggs," Andrews told cohost Charissa Thompson. "There's just some s--t in me that I'm like, 'Wait, watch. Watch me do it.'"
Andrews, 47, acknowledged the statistical challenges but maintained her determined outlook, joking about her "psychotic" persistence. Her doctor has agreed to continue treatments until medically advised otherwise.
Thompson praised Andrews' tenacity, noting it was the same quality that ultimately led to Mack's birth after numerous obstacles. "There was plenty of roadblocks that got in the way of him," Thompson recalled, "and you were like, 'Nope, I'm doing it.'"
The sportscaster has been transparent about her difficult fertility journey, which began after her 2017 cervical cancer diagnosis. She previously described coping mechanisms during challenging appointments, including emotional car rides with comfort food.
"My fertility clinic was right by McDonald's, and we were always getting bad news," Andrews shared in a 2025 interview. "So, it was like, 'A sausage biscuit with two hash browns, thank you very much.' And I would eat and cry in my car and call my husband: 'It didn't work again, but this sausage biscuit is so good.'"
Andrews emphasized the importance of speaking openly about fertility struggles, recalling a moment in a crowded waiting room when she realized how many others shared similar experiences. "Why am I being so embarrassed and quiet about this?" she remembered thinking before deciding to share her story publicly.
The support she received after going public with her journey has been "really awesome," Andrews noted, with many people reaching out to express understanding and solidarity.
