VICKY Pattison has opened up on a new fertility journey setback and confessed she has spent the majority of the day in tears.
The ever-candid Geordie Shore star, 35, has previously told how she has undergone a procedure to freeze her eggs as she plans for a family with fiance Ercan Ramadan.
Yet the much-loved reality TV queen told her Instagram fans there had sadly been a hitch, as she posted a teary shot showing her in the hospital ward.
In a lengthy caption, Vicky explained her state of mind as she wrote: "Unfortunately yesterday didn't go as planned and I have another cyst on one of my ovaries. "As the injections I would have to administer as part of my fertility treatment are predominantly oestrogen - rather than stimulating the ovary follicles which is what we want to happen - it would end up instead predominantly feeding the cyst and treatment would be wasted. "I'm naturally a little bit disappointed and spent most of yesterday crying and just feeling super drained - it was as if someone had let all the air out of a balloon.
