Gigi Gorgeous and her husband Nats Getty are on their fertility journey with plans of having a baby, but it hasn’t exactly been smooth sailing. In 2018, Gigi went to a sperm bank only to find out she has a low sperm count.

Now, 4 years later, she’s looking to boost her sperm count but it has yet to be successful. Gigi’s fertility specialists confirmed that her low sperm count may be due to her tucking. For the uninitiated, tucking is a technique that involves a person tucking their genitals to create a more feminine line.

Gigi has described tucking as a security blanket, so to stop would be traumatic and likely cause dysphoria. Nonetheless, she has stopped tucking along with stopping her estrogen treatments and testosterone blockers. If these measures aren’t enough, Gigi might decide to get surgery. When all is said and done, we hope that this journey is a fruitful one that brings Gigi and Nats a happy, healthy baby.
