\u00a0Instagram\/@chloepink__<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe decided to slightly delay sharing our initial transfer post, as we wanted to give ourselves some time to process the outcome privately, whatever that might be,\u201d Chloe, 26, wrote. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately, we\u2019ve just found out that our little embryo didn\u2019t stick, meaning our transfer wasn\u2019t successful.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObviously, this has been incredibly disheartening and heartbreaking, but unfortunately, it\u2019s also the reality of this journey.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Chloe explained that she and Toby are weighing their next steps as they deliberate whether to undergo another transfer immediately or take a break from the process.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the disheartening news, Chloe and Toby were grateful for the ongoing support they had received from friends and strangers alike. <\/p>\n<p>Even though it was not the update Chloe wanted to give, she said she would continue to share the rawest moments of her journey. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know some people might think we\u2019re oversharing, but at the end of the day, infertility is something so many people experience, yet it\u2019s still something that isn\u2019t spoken about enough,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf sharing our journey helps make infertility even slightly less taboo, or makes just one person going through it feel a little less alone, then I\u2019ll continue to share the good, the bad and everything in between.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Chloe Pink and Toby Pink share fertility journey\"

platform to speak openly about her health struggles, including diagnoses of endometriosis and polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS, formerly known as PCOS). <\/p>\n<p>In June, she shared footage of a negative pregnancy test alongside an empathetic message for those on a similar path.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnother month, another negative,\u201d she wrote at the time. \u201cStill hoping.
