Over the summer, Murgatroyd was keeping fans updated on herIVF journey, which sadly concluded with an unsuccessful embryo transfer.
Recently speaking with PEOPLE at the premiere ofThe Great Wolf Pack: A Call to Adventurein Garden Grove, California, the professional dancer shared what’s next in herIVF journey.
“I’m feeling great today. I’m feeling really positive,” Murgatroyd told PEOPLE on the carpet, “It’s only been six days, but yeah, it has been a rough couple of days. But today I’m feeling great, spending time with my family. I just love to be grateful for it.”
The star said she planned to “just to take a little break for a couple of months” before starting the process over again.

When the couple first opened up to PEOPLE in early July, Murgatroyd shared that Shai has been “just obsessed with me getting pregnant.”
Murgatroyd also told PEOPLE that she’s faced social media commenters criticizing her over Shai being an only child.
“There was one comment in particular: How could you not [have another child]?” Murgatroyd recalled. “The ‘how could you not’ threw me off the ledge. It was like, if only you knew what was actually going on with my family, you would never say that.”
