Idina Menzel candidly describes her unsuccessful IVF journey while trying to conceive another child in her upcoming documentary.

“No matter what the outcome, I just wanted women to feel seen in this film and people to understand what we go through,” the Broadway star, 51, told People of “Idina Menzel: Which Way to the Stage?” in an interview published Tuesday.

“It was important to me to forgo the privacy of that and allow people to have a little window into that experience.”

Menzel — who shares 13-year-old son Walker with her ex-husband, Taye Diggs — turned to IVF so that she and her second husband, Aaron Lohr, could have a child together.

The actress’ new project documents her fertility journey, showing doctor’s visits and some of her most vulnerable moments, which she referred to as a “balancing act.”

But having a child together wasn’t always in Menzel and Lohr’s plans.

“Maybe before meeting me, [Lohr] didn’t think he wanted to have kids, and then he sees how good of a dad he can be, so I wanted that for him,” she told the magazine, adding, “I didn’t think I wanted to have a baby, but then Aaron has been the most amazing man to my son.”

Menzel also said that Lohr, an actor, is grateful that she even tried for another baby and that it made their bond stronger.
