Jana Kramer is opening up about her miscarriages and struggles with in vitro fertilization.
In an emotional Instagram post on Thursday, the country singer revealed that a year ago today she received heartbreaking news.
"A year ago today, I got the news that I had yet again another miscarriage," Kramer, 35, wrote. "It was after an IVF cycle. The embryo was a boy and it was the last embryo we had. I was devastated. I felt like I failed as a women, and as a wife."

Kramer, who is also mom to 3-year-old daughter Jolie, went on to reveal that one month later, her son Jace, was created.
"Jace we prayed so hard for you and through all the tears I now know I went through it all to get to you," the mother of two shared. "To all the woman out there who have suffered miscarriages and still waiting for your rainbow baby, you are not alone. And I know nothing I say will make the yearning or pain any better but if anything know you’re not alone and that I was in the same spot a year ago. I pray you will see your silver lining too."
