Vicky Pattison gives amazing update on egg freezing journey
Vicky Pattison is "over the moon" after finding out her egg freezing journey has been a success.
The former 'Geordie Shore' star had decided to freeze her eggs to allow her and her fiance Ercan Ramadan to have children in the future, and she's overjoyed that it is now a possibility.
Speaking on ITV's 'Lorraine' in a segment called 'Vicky Pattison - My Journey To Motherhood', she said: "I’ve just had a call from the lab and out of six mature eggs, that we decided to turn into embryos, three have survived the fertilization and blastocyst process, so that’s pretty amazing.
“That means three little me and Ercans are going in the freezer. I’m over the moon!”
The 35-year-old star also appeared live in the studio on Tuesday (20.06.23) with host Lorraine Kelly and Dr. Hilary to discuss her experiences.
She admitted: "When you're freezing your eggs you're so focused on the end goal… you don’t even consider the journey and how you get there.
"I actually think that was a huge reason why I’ve decided to do this. I just think most women who do it are unprepared, so I underestimated the process.”
On the subject of her decision to wait until later in lfie to start a family, she insisted she was "trying to be responsible".
She added: "I want to be the very best parent I can be, and in order to be that, I have to do it at the right time.
"So I’m hoping that in the next couple of years I’ll be able to conceive naturally, but if I can’t and if anything does happen, I have that security blanket so to speak.”
In the first part of the chat on Monday, Vicky explained how she was ready to settle down with Ercan after four years, but didn't feel ready to become a parent just yet.
She said: "I want to enjoy being his [Ercan’s] fiance. I want to enjoy being his wife. And when the time’s right, I want to enjoy being a mother.”
