Chloe Fisher has endured a three-year journey to start a family which she has described as a "nightmare", opening up on her podcast about her challenging experience.

The influencer has undergone eight rounds of IVF, multiple surgeries and experienced multiple devastating miscarriages, all of which have paid off as she is now welcoming a baby.

In this week's episode of Darling, Shine, her popular podcast, Fisher explained the details of starting a family with her DJ husband, Paul Fisher.

Chloe and Paul were married in Bali in 2020, and she thinks they "must have fallen pregnant within 48 hours of getting married."

Overjoyed, the couple would go on to find out the devastating news, "I then went on to have my first miscarriage at around seven weeks," Chloe explained.

Sadly, this was just the beginning of their struggle, with Chloe saying: "Little did I know that I was going to go on to have another three miscarriages."

Over the next few years, Chloe would see an IVF doctor, starting in January of 2021, getting pregnant another three times throughout her eight rounds of IVF.

Undergoing multiple surgeries to resolve her endometriosis and Asherman's syndrome diagnosis were also a part of her journey.

Unfortunately, this process wasn't smooth sailing. "All of my miscarriages were boys…. I lost three singleton pregnancies and one set of boy twins," she said.

After her infertility struggles, Chloe and her husband began considering alternative options, including surrogacy, which she felt might have been her "only option to get a baby in my arms."

"It's a really hard pill to swallow trying to accept that you might not be able to have your own baby," she said on her podcast.

Miraculously after years of trying, whilst on her belated honeymoon, Chloe fell pregnant, detailing the moment to listeners: "Peed on the stick and it was positive, and I was like 'you have got to be kidding me.'"

Though an amazing moment, of course, there was hesitation about getting too excited, given her past experiences.

"It's still weird finding out that you're pregnant after so many losses…You're constantly trying to protect yourself … it sucks, it's so sh-t that you have to play it down for yourself and you don't get to have that joy at all. I really feel ripped off in that sense."

Now well into their pregnancy, the couple look forward to welcoming their first baby together in 2024.
