Fire Country's Leven Rambin Explains Why She's Undergoing IVF at 36
Fire Country's Leven Rambin is opening up about her decision to undergo in vitro fertilization (IVF).
"I'm going to talk to you a little bit about why I'm going to do IVF at 36 years old," Rambin, 36, began a Friday, June 5, TikTok. "Some of y'all think it's kind of young. Some of y'all think it's kind of old. Depends on who you talk to. Depends on what doctor you talk to. One doctor said I was old and barren and decrepit. The other one said I was the youngest patient she's had. So it really depends on what environment you're in."
Rambin went on to admit she wished she had frozen her eggs when she was younger, potentially when she was single and "didn't have as much going on" and "didn't feel like I was under the gun." (Rambin tied the knot with husband Dawson Smith in 2025.)
"Because now I would have those eggs and they could just mix ‘em up. That being said, I am a good candidate for natural still," she said. "However, I feel like I'm just waiting for this. I feel like I've run out of patience - it's not a strong suit, and I want to continue to act and go on sets and be away for months at a time. So, I can't be hanging around my husband all the time."
Rambin explained that she is undergoing surgery for endometriosis, to see if she is diagnosed with infertility "in order for insurance to cover it."
"You've been so supportive and so many comments of like, ‘I did IVF.' And just sharing your stories, so thank you," she said. "I think it's a fascinating topic, a fascinating journey and I want to share it with you guys. So stick around for more updates."
Rambin captioned the upload, "Y'all are so helpful and supportive thanks ladies xx #ivf #endo #fertility #fyp."
Days prior, Rambin filmed herself after leaving a gynecologist's office. In the TikTok video, Rambin shared that her doctor told her she was within the average range of women getting pregnant and reassured her that her body was normal.
"She was like, ‘This could be your lucky month but if you want to be efficient you can go ahead and do the IVF. I'm also going to get the endometriosis diagnostic surgery. So that should be fun. She said the best time to get pregnant is right after that," Rambin said in the Wednesday, June 3 upload. "So let's go ladies."
