The Dublin native said on Instagram: “I’m blown away by the response from today’s podcast and the amount of messages I’ve received from people who are or have been on a TTC journey.”

“So many people saying it’s made them feel less alone – and that’s something through this journey I’ve felt so heavy was loneliness for myself and John as we navigated this chapter of our life.

“I’ve been really scared to open up about it because it’s just so raw. I hope I’ll be able to fully open up about how we have been navigating it but for now thank you for listening to my story and your kindness and stories and trusting me with them.

“Although sharing is hard and scary, it definitely makes you feel less alone and realizing so many people struggle the same as us. Sending so much love to every single person on a fertility journey – look after yourself.”
