Shauna Rae’s Fertility Clock: The 0.6 Score, the Egg-Freezing Fight, and the Motherhood Dream She Won’t Give Up

When Shauna Rae looked into the camera and revealed her fertility scored 0.6 out of 10, the I Am Shauna Rae fandom went quiet. Three years after TLC aired its last episode, the 27-year-old is still fighting for the one dream cameras barely touched — and that fight has only gotten harder. Here is everything we actually know about her fertility journey in 2026.

The Doctor’s Number That Changed Everything

Shauna has been open about meeting a fertility specialist — a journey viewers first saw documented in I Am Shauna Rae Season 2. In a candid video update reported by BoredPanda, she revealed her doctors assessed her fertility at 0.6 on a scale of 1 to 10 — a drop from the 0.8 she had shown just two months earlier. Scores below one are considered low fertility.

The childhood brain cancer treatment that caused her pituitary dwarfism — leaving her 3-foot-10 and about 50 pounds — didn’t just stunt her growth. According to Shauna, it hit her reproductive health too. “I don’t know how much time I have,” she admitted, calling the whole battle “financial, social, and self-acceptance.”

Why She Can’t Afford to Freeze Her Eggs

The most painful twist? Shauna knew what she wanted to do about it. “I really wanted to freeze my eggs, but I can’t afford it. My insurance doesn’t cover it,” she said, adding she could be “infertile for all I know, and it absolutely sucks.”

According to reports, she later launched a GoFundMe to raise money for the multi-thousand-dollar egg-freezing procedure. A reality TV star — one whose story millions followed — crowdfunding medical care she desperately needs. That reality alone says everything about how broken the system can be, even for someone with a platform.

What She Told People About Having Kids

Speaking to People, Shauna put the emotional core of it into one devastating sentence: “I mean, even if I don’t want to have kids one day, being told you can’t is a completely different situation. It takes away whether or not I want that lifestyle.”

She was equally honest about her options: “I’m okay with adoption. I’m okay with surrogates. I’m okay with not having kids. So, depending on the person I’m with depends on what I do.” No scripts, no spin — just a grown woman weighing choices most 27-year-olds never have to face.

Where the Mystery Man Fits In

And “the person I’m with” matters. Shauna has kept her boyfriend’s identity private since around 2022 — telling the Unplanned Podcast with Matt and Abby Howard (January 2025) that she worries about backlash reaching his job, and that his face won’t be shown “unless I’m marrying him.”

Fans who have begged for a face reveal should understand what is actually at stake: if this relationship is the one, every fertility decision — adoption, surrogacy, trying naturally — becomes a two-person choice. The secrecy is not a game. It is her protecting the future family she is fighting for.

Three Years Off Air — and Still No Season 3

Let’s be honest about the elephant in the room: I Am Shauna Rae ran for two seasons (2022–2023), with the final episode airing October 1, 2023. TLC has never officially canceled the show — and never announced a Season 3. It simply… stopped.

Shauna, now 27, lives in Long Island with her mom Patty and stepdad Mark Schrankel — who stood beside her when she legally dropped the last name “Lesick” in 2022. She advocates for childhood cancer early prevention, offers Cameo videos, and keeps over a million TikTok followers updated on her life. Her story is still unfolding — just not on TLC’s schedule.

So here is the question splitting the fandom: if TLC came back tomorrow and offered Season 3 — but only if cameras followed her fertility journey — should Shauna say yes, or is this one chapter that deserves to stay off TV? Sound off in the comments. 👇
