Waiting for the results after in vitro fertilization can be a real ordeal for women dreaming of having a child. Marta Peñate, known for her appearances on ‘Gran Hermano’ and ‘Supervivientes’, has openly shared her experience, highlighting how emotionally challenging this period can be. According to Divinity, her journey to motherhood was marked not only by hope but also significant psychological difficulties.
In 2025, Marta faced an early pregnancy loss, which was a heavy blow for her. Despite the support of her partner Toni Spina, the recovery process was long and difficult. In subsequent attempts, she noted that the waiting period—known as the beta wait—was filled with constant tension, anxiety, and searching for any sign of success. Many women, she says, go through similar emotions, a fact confirmed by analysis at russpain.com, which points to shared experiences among other participants in similar programs.
Psychological pressure
Marta admitted that at first she made common mistakes: taking several tests in a row, looking for pregnancy symptoms, and following advice from forums that aren’t always scientifically based. She tried drinking beverages like Aquarius and wore warm socks in hopes it would help, though she understood there were no universal solutions. In her view, such actions often only add to stress without bringing real results.
She paid special attention to the fact that early pregnancy symptoms may be absent, and the lack of signs does not always mean failure. In her case, the first changes appeared only 20 days after the procedure, which came as a surprise. Marta emphasizes that it’s important not to focus on every sensation and not to compare yourself to other women, since every body reacts differently.
Advice and support
Peñate believes that fear and anxiety are a natural part of the process, but they should not prevent you from living a full life during this period. She advises not to blame yourself if things don’t work out and not to let negative emotions completely take over. According to her, it is important to maintain inner balance, allow yourself to feel sad, but not give up and keep moving forward.
In her video, Marta reached out to those currently going through the beta-wait, offering support and a reminder that even if the result is negative, it’s no reason for self-criticism. She is confident that everyone has the right to their emotions, but it’s important not to let them destroy your self-belief and sense of possibility.
Other families’ experiences
The topic of emotional challenges after birth or while expecting a child is becoming increasingly relevant. For example, the experience of Estela Grande, who faced unexpected difficulties caring for twins, also shows how family life changes after children arrive.

Her candid accounts of personal struggles and her journey to motherhood have resonated with thousands of followers. Thanks to her openness and willingness to share difficult moments, she has become a symbol of support for many women facing similar challenges. Her experience underscores that the path to motherhood can be difficult, but support and honest discussions about hardships help overcome any obstacles.
