Geordie Shore star Vicky Pattison to continue fertility journey as she shares update with fans

Vicky Pattison has revealed she is ready to start her fertility journey again following previous setbacks.

The former Geordie Shore star, 35, is planning a future with fiancé Ercan Ramadan and the pair believe having children is the next step in their lives.

She took to Instagram over the weekend to share a number of photos from March and an update on how life has been going and her hopes for April.

She wrote: "I feel incredibly grateful looking back at these pictures- March was full of blessings- I was booked and busy, managed to spend time with my friends and family and got in some quality time with my boys.. (although it’s never enough)

"I hope your March was everything you wanted it to be but don’t panic if you didn’t quite get the balance right.. we’re always learning, growing and working out what’s right for us and what isn’t- and now you have a whole new month, a new chance, a brand new chapter to fill with beautiful moments, people you love and work that sets your soul on fire [smiley face] And isn’t that an exciting thought."

Discussing the month ahead, she continued: "God willing, April will be the month I try and start my fertility journey again, so I’m feeling all kinds of stuff right now- excited, nervous and hopeful. I’m aware that the journey might be a bit tough, so I’m just going to try and take every day as it comes and not be too hard on myself [black heart].

"May your April be full of more smiling, less worrying, more compassion, less judgement, more blessed, less stressed, more love and less hate. Love you all."

Vicky is in the process of freezing her eggs and has been documenting the journey with fans since last year.

Speaking to the Metro, she said: “If you are wanting to have kids in your 30s, 40s, or in later life, there are some difficulties for a lot of people, so I like to be honest because not enough people are.

“There’s so much hardship to conceiving naturally after 30 that I wasn’t aware of, so I’m gonna continue to talk about my journey.”

The TV star suffered a setback earlier this year after doctors found a cyst on her ovaries which had to be removed before she could continue with treatment.

She told fans at the time that the experience had left her feeling disappointed and in tears.

The I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! winner will soon be back on TV screens in the new series of Pilgrimage on the BBC.

Vicky joined stars including former Boyzone singer Shane Lynch and ex-EastEnder Rita Simons on a journey to Fatima in Portugal.

The site, where people claim to have seen an apparition of the Virgin Mary, is visited by 6 to 8 million religious tourists every year.

Vicky Pattison says the journey helped her to deal with grief after the death of her best friend, Paul Burns, in 2018.
