Vicky Pattison cries with joy as she shares an update on her egg-freezing fertility journey

Vicky Pattison was left with tears of joy on Wednesday after a trip to the fertility clinic.

The former Geordie Shore star, 35, was hoping to freeze her eggs and keep fans updated on the trial – earlier this year she suffered a setback when a ovarian cyst found.

But in the latest update, the star joyfully shared that she and fiance Ercan Ramadan can “finally take our next steps towards becoming parents one day” as the cyst is now gone.

Vicky shared a photo with a smile from ear to ear and tears running down her cheeks, admitting she felt “every emotion.”

She revealed in February that her decision to freeze eggs comes because she’s not “mentally ready for kids,” adding that she’s keeping some eggs for herself in case she and beau Ercan split.

Good news: After a trip to the fertility clinic, the star joyfully shared that she and fiance Ercan Ramadan can ‘finally take our next steps towards becoming parents one day’ as an ovarian cyst she had is now gone

Vicky posted an update to her 5.3 million Instagram followers and shared a collection of photos from her trip to the London Women’s Clinic.

She explained how the appointment went and began in the caption: ” For those of you who have been following my egg freezing journey, you know we had a bit of a relapse early in the year in the form of an ovarian cyst. This means we couldn’t continue with the process until it was gone.

“And then at today’s scan we found out that the cyst was gone and we can finally take our next steps towards becoming parents one day.

“I have felt absolutely every emotion these past few days and as you can imagine when I got the good news I was absolutely over the moon but now all the nerves and anxiety I was dealing with have left my body. .. I’m just devastated.’

Vicky admitted she would spend the evening “curled up on the couch” with Ercan and continued that she wasn’t sure how her emotions would hold up over the next few weeks of the trial.

She asked fans for “bearance with me,” explaining that the process can get overwhelming at times.

She added: ‘We are happy, grateful and a little apprehensive, but ultimately very excited to take these next steps to grow our family together ✨

“I am sending you lots of love. And to anyone who isn’t quite where they thought they were with their fertility journey, I just wanted to send you love, light, and positivity.”

FREEZING YOUR EGGS: THE FACTS

Freezing eggs means going through the IVF process, which typically takes two to three weeks.

This includes taking medications to stimulate egg production and also help the eggs mature.

Once the eggs are ready, women are placed under general anesthesia while they are collected – usually about 15 eggs, although this is not always possible for women with lower reserves.

A freezing solution is then added to the eggs to protect them, then they are frozen and stored in liquid nitrogen tanks.

When the woman is ready to use the eggs, they are thawed and those that remain intact are injected with sperm.

Vicky started testing in April last year to see if egg freezing was an option for her.

At the time, she revealed that despite saying in the past that kids weren’t on her radar, settling down with Ercan has changed her mind on the matter.

Speaking candidly about the decision to freeze eggs earlier this year, Vicky spoke later than many about finding love.

“My journey to motherhood was nothing like Disney’s fairy tales. I haven’t found anyone to love me for a long time,” she said.

Adding that while there are no plans to divorce Ercan, who she got engaged to last year, the star shared that she was keeping some eggs for protection.

Noting, “I adore him and he adores me. No one wants to break up and divorce and I’m sure we don’t want that, but I’m protecting me and my happiness.’

Ercan got down on one knee in February last year as the couple plan a 2024 wedding.

Speaking of their upcoming nuptials, Vicky said late last year, ‘And I can’t believe I can say in a few days – we’re getting married next year, Arghhhhhhh!!! Our next chapter will be the most exciting yet.”

She and Ercan have been together since January 2019.

After a brief split in March of that year, the couple seems to have gone from strength to strength ever since.

In 2021, the couple became parents to an adorable golden labrador named Milo before adding second pup Max to the mix a year later.
