Georgia 'Toff' Toffolo has admitted she has been trying for a baby for months in an emotional post. The former Made In Chelsea star, 31, revealed she was unsure whether to speak out about her fertility journey with her husband, former Brew Dog CEO James Watt, 43, whom she married four years ago.
Revealing that the pair, who tied the knot at a lavish ceremony in Scotland, had been trying to conceive for five months, Georgia took to Instagram with a candid life update. Wearing a smart black blouse and holding back tears, she said: 'My gut has been telling me to share this, but my head has been saying no. Oh my God, I don't know why I'm gonna get upset.'
Admitting there was something she had been 'really hiding,' she continued: 'Something that I've been, like, really hiding. My husband and I have been trying for a baby. It hasn't happened on month one, month two, three, four, five. According to all the amazing doctors, that is completely normal. Who knew?'
'You only ever hear the story of get pregnant on the first try, or the second try, or it was an accident, or we've been trying for a very long time and it hasn't happened for us.'
Revealing that she felt 'lonely' and wished that more people were speaking about the complexities of conceiving, she continued: 'We are in that really weird space. I just wish someone like me had come on and spoken about it. I am in the two-week wait before every single symptom, or boobs, cramps in your lower tummy, they are all suggestive of two things. Number one, that you're pregnant, two, that your period is on the way. And these are two entirely different outcomes. It is quite lonely.'
Georgia admitted she was previously taking her pregnancy tests alone, but was now doing them with James, who was set up on a blind date with the reality star via mutual friends. She explained: 'The craziness that I have been allowing myself to be is just not healthy. One thing I really wish I hadn't done, I kept doing the pregnancy test every month on my own, and I didn't think that was a weird thing until James walked in and was like, what are you doing? He was like: "Babe, you need to stop doing that on your own."'
Insisting that the couple were 'not struggling with infertility,' Georgia signed off: 'We are doing this together. That shift for me has been so amazing, I can actually cry at the relief. And like the thing is, I really mean this, we are not struggling with infertility, we are two incredibly fortunate people. We are just at that weird in-between stage.'
'I would love to hear from people in the comments that had a very similar journey to us, that ended up with this perfect like little gift at the end, positive vibes, guys.'
