The 38-year-old's wife Samantha took to Instagram to share their journey, reflecting on the initial reluctance to discuss their struggles openly.
"I remember when we knew we were going to have to go thru IVF it was something no one really talked about. I'm so proud that over the years so many openly speak on the topic and have completely taken away the stigma," Busch's wife said.
"Today, the WHO now classifies infertility as a disease. As a community, we've garnered invaluable support and encouragement from around the world," she added.
Through her book, "Fighting Infertility," Samantha Busch offered a raw and honest portrayal of the infertility journey, aiming to provide solace and understanding to others grappling with similar experiences.
Speaking about her experiences while writing the book, she revealed:
"I longed to feel heard and understood. I knew I wanted to write something that would make others know they were not alone in their journey and feelings."
She added:
"I wrote this book for anyone who is going through the heartbreak of infertility to remember that although it sometimes feels like you're alone on an island, there is a huge community behind you."
