Adrienne Bailon-Houghton is getting candid about her IVF (in vitro fertilization) journey and the costs that came along with it. “I only did eight cycles of IVF, but that doesn’t include the amount of IUIs I did and every other kind of imaginable treatments that you could imagine for fertility,” Bailon-Houghton, 40, told People in an interview published on Saturday, April 20. “So it was a pretty tough six years of trying to have my son.” When asked how much her estimated costs for the fertility treatments were, the actress revealed that she and husband Israel Houghton spent “easily over…
