Amy Schumer is the proud mother of a child, and it may remain so.
In a preview of PEOPLE on this week’s Sunday Today with Willie Geist, Schumer talks about his plans to expand his family.
Schumer, 39, has her 15-month-old son Gene David with her husband Chris Fischer, and the actress had already been open about in vitro fertilization and told enthusiasts that the couple had obtained at least one embryo after their first cycle of IVF.
“We did IVF and IVF was really tough on me,” she says. “I don’t think I could ever do IVF again.”
And with IVF out of sight, Schumer has accepted the concept of not bringing in children in the long run.
“I may never be pregnant again,” she says. “We think of a substitute. But I think we’re going to wait for now.”

For now, Schumer enjoys every moment he spends with his son.
“Life is much more beautiful,” she says of motherhood. “That’s what happens in my life.”
In her HBO documentary Expecting Amy, the actress recounted her first pregnancy, such as her war with hyperemesis gravidarum, a serious-looking effect of pregnancy that she claims resembles food poisoning for nine months.
Sharing an update in February, Schumer thanked his fans for sharing their non-public IVF stories, writing on Instagram that he sought to “send love and strength” to all the “warrior women” who take the path of parenthood.

“I enjoyed it so much that everyone shared their IVF stories with me. They made me feel empowered and supported. So I sought to tell them how mine deteriorated,” he wrote at the time. “So many women go through many rounds of IVF, which is painful and mentally draining. I’ve heard a lot of women talk about their miscarriages and struggles and also many hopeful stories about how it worked after the rounds and IVF series. This was encouraging. . Thank you. “
Schumer added: “Anyway, I am very grateful for our son and that we have the resources to get there this way. I just searched for percentage and sending love and strength to all the warriors who are going through this process.”
