Comedian Tanya Hennessy has given a heartbreaking update on her years-long journey to have a baby, saying she’s in the ‘depth of infertility sadness’.
The TV and radio presenter has been candid about her struggle to become a mum over the past few years, and her latest updated is gut-wrenching. But it’s a refreshing insight into the world of infertility, which can often be lonely.
“It’s endometriosis awareness month and I am going through it,” she wrote on Instagram.
“I’m in a depth of infertility sadness. Because of endometriosis. We are on round 6 on IVF with almost nothing to show. It’s inexplicably painful, sad (and expensive). The thought of stopping is even harder than continuing. Cause if I stop I know the outcome.
“But the emotional, physical and psychological toll is really starting to effect me. I have rashes from the stress. I just don’t have much left in the tank to keep doing it. I said I wouldn’t talk about anymore.
“But it’s eating me alive, I’m so embarrassed because every time I hear about that IVF miracle or that natural conception before/after IVF. I think that could be me, but it never is. It never is.
“But man, I know I’m resilient for keep on, keeping on. But I just wish it was easier, I wish I could be a parent. I wish this didn’t take up so much space in my life. I wish I could have a win in this. I wish I could have our baby. I wish I didn’t have endometriosis.”
It’s not the first time the former I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here contestant, who is engaged to Thomas Poole, has opened up about her desire to become a mum.
She took to social media in 2022, penning a heartfelt post about trying to conceive.
“Getting pregnant is a f***ing full time job and I am at my wits end,” she wrote at the time. “It hurts that my body won’t do what I want it to. Im bloody over it. Something that is seemingly so easy for so many, feels impossible for us. It’s infuriating.
“The endless calls and the blood tests and internals. Following up with GPs, specialists and surgeons. Feeling like you’re harassing them, cause you’re not 100% certain they know or care what’s going on with you. But you do. Desperately. You have to keep on them, cause they have so much going on.
I’m exhausted. Burnt out.”
March is Endometriosis Month, which aims to raise awareness of the disease, as well as funding for research.
