Mina Starsiakis keeping her followers updated on her fertility journey.

TheGood Bonesstar, 35, opened up about the latest news on her and husbandStephen Hawk‘s quest to give their 16-month-old sonJack Richarda sibling, revealing over the weekend that she doesn’t “have high hopes” of being able to use her own eggs after her doctor told her she may need to consider another path.

“Not only was this not expected EVER, it definitely wasn’t this soon in the process,” she added on Sunday. “After sitting with it a bit, we’re doing the reasonable thing and getting a second opinion, although I don’t have high hopes it will result in anything different. So that’s where we are.”

On Dec. 14, Starsiakshared an image ofherself being prepped for another tattoo on her rib cage area, promising at the time that she would “explain later.”

“That’s the tattoo, Jacks name; nothing uniquely life shattering but it felt right,” she wrote on Sunday. “There is more to come. I’m not sure what it is yet. But it doesn’t feel over.”

“I’ve been sharing my fertility ride publicly bc of the thousands of messages from women it’s helping … but I never anticipatedwhat I would do if it wasn’t successful,” Starsiak admitted earlier in her caption. “That option hadn’t even entered my mind.”

“This is our tradition every year; wait till all the kids are in town, typically 4 days before Christmas, engage in a fairly stressful group textregarding scheduling our Xmas picture, we all meet at my dads house (typically late) and do our best to keep the youngest ones from losing it long enough to snap this bad boy next to my dads giant tree to send out to friends and fam,” she captioned the shot.

“It’s poorly planned, hectic, stressful and I wouldn’t change it or trade my people for anyone in the world ❤️,” Starsiak added. “I hope you love your crazy as much as I do this year, and all the years.#rideordies“
