Heather Rae Young Details Her Conception Plans
On Tuesday, December 28, Young took to TikTok to dive into her fertility journey, which begins with freezing her eggs.
The "Malibu Horror Story" actress detailed her efforts in a video from a fertility clinic where she just wrapped up an ultrasound.
Before recording her candid testimonial, Young underwent a check-up from medical personnel who inspected her follicles.
The 34-year-old explained that she has six follicles on one side and a cyst on the other. The cyst needed to be monitored but was not a cause for alarm.
Young noted that no follicles were present on the side that had the cyst and, if she and Moussa decide to go ahead, her egg freezing process will begin in January.
The Californian beauty currently has six eggs "on ice" but needs to test her blood. The results will show her egg count and progesterone levels.
Young may be worried about her impending blood test as she admitted to having low fertility and a low egg count in the past.
In her captions, the "Mafia" explained that she was sharing her fertility process in hopes that it "can help some of you ladies."
