In September 2024, we reported on Sammi Giancola’s decision to undergo IVF treatment.
Sammy bravely chose to document some aspects of her journey in the most recent season Jersey Shore: Family Vacation,
And as the reunion episode began on Thursday night, she opened up about her decision to make such a private matter public.
Sammy says she’s grateful for the opportunity to help others
Sammy revealed that she has heard from many viewers who have been inspired by her example.
“I really can’t believe how many people are suffering or going through situations like mine,” Sammy said.
“It’s overwhelming in a good way. This is helping me; “I’m learning some things from other people’s experiences, and maybe my experience can help other people deal with things like me,” she continued (via Ashley’s Reality Roundup).
“I get DMs all the time, people saying, ‘Wow, it’s really cool that you’re going through something I’m going through too and because you put it out there, it makes me look in that direction now. Wants to do IVF.
Keeping things on a “need to know” basis
At first, Sammi decided to keep the process a secret from the rest of the cast, only discussing it on camera with her fiancé, Justin May.
So her family members came to know the whole story only when they watched the episodes of this season. And it looks like he learned a lot.
“I [had] I had heard about IVF, but I didn’t know what the process was like. You can see firsthand what it’s like,” Vinny Guadagnino said during the reunion.
“Watching [this season] Looking back at your journey, it’s obviously extremely emotional; You’re vulnerable, and all I can say is you weren’t ready,” Jenni “JWoww” Farley shouted. “Like, you wanted it to happen on your time and we all respect that.”
“You just want to be able to go through this alone with your partner, so I totally understand that,” said Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi.
Sammy told his story
Sammy revealed that at times she did not know whether she would be able to hide her secret or not. After all, Edge The cast is a hard-partying bunch.
“I would literally pretend [I was drinking]I’ll pour a glass of wine and then go into the bathroom and get something out and then come back out,” she said.
“I was drunk and playing tricks on them.”
Sammi concluded the segment by saying that her IVF process is still ongoing, and that she and Justin hope to get good news soon.
We wish them all the best.
