AceShowbiz - Lena Dunham opened up about the harsh fact that she'll never have a biological child of her own in a vurnerable essay for Harper's Magazine back in November 2020. "The moment I lost my fertility I started searching for a baby," she wrote, recalling her decision to undergo a hysterectomy at 31. "After almost two decades of chronic pain caused by endometriosis and its little-studied ravages, I had my uterus, my cervix, and one of my ovaries removed. Before then, motherhood had seemed likely but not urgent, as inevitable as growing out of jean shorts, but in the days after my surgery, I became keenly obsessed with it."
Three years later, Lena found out about IVF, saying, "If we successfully harvested them, they might be fertilized with donor sperm and carried to term by a surrogate." Unfortunately, the doctor told her that they "were unable to fertilize any of the eggs."
