Heather Rae Young has recently given an update on her fertility journey.
The 34-year-old reality star shared an update on her Instagram Stories, stating that things are getting faster than she thought when it comes to the process of freezing her eggs.
The Selling Sunset star said in a video, “Just left my fertility doctor. Things are happening faster than I thought. I’m actually starting my injections tonight to stimulate my follicles and my eggs to get me ready for the retrieval, which should be happening in about two weeks.”
Young, who is married to TV personality Tarek El Moussa, said she would be injecting “two different shots tonight and every day for the next week and a half.”
“I might not show you guys that,” she added, “because it’s a little invasive but I can talk you guys through the process if you want to.”
In December, Young gave an additional update from her fertility clinic about her plans to have children with El Moussa.
At the time, she wrote on Instagram, “I’ll be sharing bits and pieces of my journey and I hope you all can benefit from it and feel empowered by it.”
“If we decide to move forward, we will start the process next week to get me ready for the egg-freezing in January,” she added. “Last time I did this, I got six healthy eggs,” she told viewers. “So I have six on ice right now.”
Young also talked about how her blood works to check her progesterone and egg count, to “see where my levels are at.” She said, “In the past, I had low fertility and low egg count.”
In November, Young said she is open to having children after she and El Moussa previously shared they did not want to expand their family.
El Moussa is dad to daughter Taylor, 11, and son Brayden, 6, with ex-wife Christina Haack.
Just ahead of Thanksgiving, Young and El Moussa said during a chat on E! News Daily Pop that they are currently “practicing having babies” until the time is right. Young said, “We’re going to freeze embryos first, go from there and then see what happens.”
