Minnesota first lady Gwen Walz clarified in a statement that she and Gov. Tim Walz did not use in vitro fertilization (IVF) to conceive, revealing that they utilized a different fertility treatment called intrauterine insemination (IUI). This clarification comes after Gov. Walz had previously spoken about their fertility struggles and the importance of access to IVF treatment during campaign speeches.
Gwen Walz shared that their experience with IUI was a personal and challenging journey that they mostly kept private, with only their next-door neighbor being aware of the details. She highlighted the support she received from her neighbor, a nurse who assisted with the necessary shots for the IUI process.
