“Just a little reminder that social media can often be a highlight reel,” Pink began.
“I’ve been sharing all the beautiful PR parcels that have been arriving lately, and I’m so grateful for every single one.
“But at the same time, we’re also navigating another month and another negative pregnancy test.”
Chloe reminded followers that she didn’t want their “sympathy” but sometimes you may not see that people can be struggling behind the scenes.
“I’m not sharing this for sympathy, just as a reminder that two things can be true at once,” she said.
“Someone can have exciting things happening in one part of their life while quietly struggling in another,” she finished.
It comes after Chloe revealed her and husband Toby’s fertility battle in June.

Chloe shared a video where she could be seen sharing the negative results of various pregnancy tests and appeared emotional.
“Another month, another negative,” she captioned the post.
“Still hoping. still trying. 🤍.”
She added a message for anyone else going through the same thing in terms of their fertility: “For anyone quietly carrying this heartbreak, you’re not alone.”
“I’m sending you so much love.”

It’s been reported that Chloe has conditions like PCOS, or polycystic ovary syndrome, now known as Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS), which can affect fertility, weight, and menstrual cycles and mental health.
Chloe recently told nine.com.au about the abuse she received over her appearance, after sharing the photographs from her wedding day online.
“No one can take away the day, but at the same time, we feel as though it has been overshadowed by the negative commentary around the wedding day and also the way that I look,” Chloe said.
“When you get married, post-wedding everyone is congratulating you, and you’re in a honeymoon love bubble. Whereas ours was, ‘Oh my God, I’m so, so sorry,’” she added.
She added about her sports star husband: “He chose to love me. No one is going to want anyone speaking like that to their loved ones. He doesn’t want anything to do with you speaking to his wife like that.”
