The 37-year-old opened up about her health struggles when it comes to being pregnant. "I had multiple miscarriages with before I had my son which was really hard for me. I had to go through the process multiple times to harvest my eggs. Sometimes I would get pregnant, sometimes I wouldn't get pregnant, then I'd have miscarriages and then I got really sad. It was really tough."
So would the RHOBH star want to add more kiddies to her brood? "For me I had to go through IVF so it's a struggle for me. My business is great, kids are great, my marriage is great right now. I'm a little bit worried about having to go down that road again," she said.
The self-proclaimed "accountability coach" is a mother to son Cruz and daughter Slate, whom she shares with husband Edwin Arroyave.
Teddi also gave some sound advice for women going through the same struggles. "The biggest thing I would say is talk about it," she said.
She added, "Even though there was nothing I could do. I wish I would have talked about it more and talked about it with my husband, but I was still closed off because I was hurting that I feel like if I would have spoken about it, we've been able to feel better and that's what I talk about it so openly now to other women so that they know they're not alone. This is a common thing that happens to a lot of us."
