Chuck Wicks And Wife Kasi Expecting First Child After Infertility Struggles

Chuck Wicks and his wife Kasi are expecting a baby boy! The couple will welcome their first child together at the end of the year after months of infertility struggles.

Wicks and Kasi, who got married in July of 2019, began trying to conceive shortly after their wedding. After several months of negative pregnancy tests, they found out that Wicks suffered from male infertility.

"As a man, the last thing you want someone to tell you is you can’t do this," Wicks tells People. "It makes you feel small. It makes you feel like you’re not a man."

At that point, the couple decided to turn to in vitro fertilization (IVF) to conceive. "We started hearing a lot of very similar stories that had successful outcomes, so I think it gave us that hope that, okay, maybe this can work for us, too," Kasi says.

One of two egg/sperm combinations was fertilized successfully. The embryo was frozen and Kasi went on to receive hormone shots to prepare her body for pregnancy. Two months later, on March 25, Kasi underwent the embryo transfer and days later, they received a positive pregnancy test.

"I see this incubator come in, and I just start sobbing because I knew inside that incubator was my little boy," Wicks recalls.

"It's just such a miracle, such a blessing," he adds. "I'm thankful for amazing doctors, thankful for science."

The couple's miracle baby is due in December.
