This turn of events took a toll on her mental and physical health. She was candid about revealing the same in the interview as she said, “Going through infertility is so hard. It’s so hard that I’m taking a fight to take a mental and physical break from fertility treatment. I’m taking a fight because this is way, way easier than dealing with that. It’s a shame because I know so many people that are going through this right now.”
The aforementioned is quite tragic, to say the least. Moreover, in the lead-up to the fight, Katlyn Chookagian also revealed the reason behind her name change.
