Kyle and Samantha Busch have experienced their fair share of struggles. The couple has suffered from infertility for years and have been strong advocates for in vitro fertilization (IVF) over the years. That’s how they welcomed their first son, Brexton Busch, who turned nine earlier this year. Since then, both of them have launched the ‘Bundle of Joy’ fund to help others suffering from similar struggles by providing financial aid to other families who may need IVF to conceive.

However, Samantha Busch wanted to take it one step further. She decided to release a book called ‘Fighting Infertility: Finding My Inner Warrior Through Trying to Conceive, IVF, and Miscarriage’, to give readers an honest look into the couple’s journey. As expected, fans had nothing but praises for the lifestyle blogger’s bold initiative, with many taking to social media to express their gratitude.

The Busch family are on a noble mission

From IVF cycles, and miscarriage, to a failed surrogate cycle, Kyle and Samantha Busch have been through it all. They are not alone, as an estimated one in eight American couples struggle to get pregnant, highlighting that the issue is bigger than many may realize. Describing her book-writing experience as “cathartic”, Samantha Busch wanted an outlet where she could not just process her feelings, but validate others’ emotions who were in a similar situation. That’s how her book ‘Fighting Infertility’ came into existence, to help others overcome their struggles to have a baby.

Recently, Samantha Busch had an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on Instagram, allowing fans to interact with the IVF advocate. This allowed one fan to reach out to her and say, “Finished your book a few weeks ago, never related to something so much. It was relieving.” In response, Kyle Busch’s wife went on to say, “Thank you. I tried to give a really honest and raw account so others knew they weren’t alone in their struggles and feelings.”

My mission is to help couples facing the financial hurdles associated with the high cost of IVF.” In contrast, her book is meant to be more of an emotional support, amidst a trying time for couples who may feel alienated because of their struggles.
