Former Geordie Shore sensation Vicky Pattison has bravely opened up about her private fertility concerns in an emotional new interview, revealing her deep fears about potentially never becoming a mother.
The 36-year-old reality star turned media personality confessed to experiencing "overwhelming sadness" when seeing pregnancy announcements, admitting: "It's getting harder to put on a happy face."
The Pain Behind the Smiles
Pattison, who married Ercan Ramadan last year, shared that she's been tracking her ovulation cycles with military precision. "I've got all the apps, the tests, the supplements," she revealed. "But month after month, that negative result feels like a personal failure."
A Growing Concern
The television personality expressed particular worry about her age, saying: "At 36, I can hear my biological clock screaming at me. Every gynaecologist appointment feels like a countdown."
She described the emotional rollercoaster of hope and disappointment: "One minute I'm convinced I'm pregnant because I'm craving pickles, the next I'm devastated when reality hits."
Breaking the Stigma
Pattison hopes her honesty will help other women struggling silently. "We need to normalise these conversations," she urged. "Fertility issues shouldn't be some shameful secret."
The star confirmed she's exploring all options, including potential IVF treatment, but admits the process terrifies her: "The injections, the hormones, the uncertainty - it's absolutely petrifying."
Support System Strength
Thankfully, Pattison credits her husband with being her rock during this challenging time. "Ercan has been incredible," she gushed. "When I'm crying at 3am about maybe never giving him a child, he just holds me and reminds me we're in this together."
She concluded with cautious optimism: "Maybe our miracle will happen naturally. If not, we'll face whatever comes next as a team."
