Mackenzie McKee is excited to become pregnant!
On Teen Mom: The Next Chapter, she opened up about her plans for an embryonic transfer.
The catch is that she might become a parent to twins.
In fact, Mackenzie explained to her stunned fiance that there is a small chance that she could end up with even more. But she believes that it’s worth the risk.
Yes, Mackenzie McKee wants to be pregnant again
During the Thursday, March 20 episode of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter, Mackenzie McKee discussed undergoing an embryo transfer to become pregnant.
She was speaking to her fiance, Khesanio Hall, and to her friend, Cayla.
Mackenzie is already a mother to Gannon, Jaxie, and Broncs. And as her family grows, she may become more than just a mother of four. …
Mackenzie McKee explained that she could become pregnant with twins as a result of the embryo transfer.
“They took an egg, they took a sperm and they made an embryo,” she explained. Hopefully, most adult viewers already understand the process, but it could still have educational value.
“We have four embryos, right?” Mackenzie continued, using spoons as props. “But we are choosing to transfer two.”
But why would Mackenzie McKee risk becoming pregnant with twins?
“Why are we choosing to transfer two?” Mackenzie McKee explained about her plans to become pregnant.
“Because if you transfer two embryos, there’s an 80 percent chance one of them sticks and you have one baby,” she cited.
Mackenzie added: “However, this comes with the risk that there’s a 20 percent chance that both of them stick and you have twins.”
Did the embryo transfer work?
“I would rather be told I’m pregnant with twins than I’m not pregnant,” Mackenzie McKee pointed out.
“Because I don’t think I can go through this again,” she admitted. “I’m gonna be very, very honest.”
Embryonic transfer and all of the steps leading up to it take a toll on the body, on the mind, even on relationships.
Speculation on Reddit and elsewhere on social media is that Mackenzie McKee is likely pregnant.
If so, it’s likely that no one outside of the doctor’s office knows whether she’s carrying one fetus, four, or somewhere in between.
Probably just one though. Right? We’ll probably find out eventually.
