Sadly, she suffered two pregnancy losses, but kept testing … Even though the habit had already run her over $500. “Some people may think it’s strange to put something so private out in the public sphere,” she noted. “But may viewers have been with me through all the ups and downs of the past few years. They honestly feel like family.” By the time she gave birth to her second child, she says she had taken about 400 tests. It’s been three years since then, and now, the Hounslows are trying for baby number three. And now, Matt seems to understand his wife’s addiction. “After seeing how trying to conceive affected me emotionally, and the calm that I get from taking the tests, my husband understands,” she said. “He’s even started buying them for me. It sounds silly, but it’s the sweetest gift.” That said, fingers crossed the prevalence of the phenomenon could help Corrine Hounslow, and women like her, find support and care for this addiction.
