The Bachelor’s Irena Gilbert reveals she is trying to get pregnant after suffering two miscarriages

The Bachelor star Irena Gilbert and her husband Locky are trying to conceive again following her tragic second miscarriage.

The former reality star, 33, said she is currently undergoing acupuncture and has cut out alcohol to increase the couple’s chances of a full-term pregnancy.

‘I am doing weekly fertility acupuncture and have completely cut caffeine and alcohol from my diet. I’ve maintained a steady weight,’ she explained.

‘Also trying to reduce my stress and have been on a weight list for over six months to see a fertility specialist.’

The practicing nurse admitted she found it hard to ‘stay positive’ at times and so was incredibly grateful for the support of her husband Locky, 31.

‘It can be hard to maintain a positive attitude during tough times. Locky has definitely brought out a more positive side to me,’ she said.

She added she has reached out to other women who have suffered miscarriages for support during this difficult period.

‘I have spoken to other women who have gone through miscarriages and reached out for professional support. I took some time off work and am doing everything in my power to hopefully have a baby soon,’ she said.

The former reality star, 33, said she is currently undergoing acupuncture and has cut out alcohol to increase the couple’s chances of a full-term pregnancy 

Earlier this month, Irena announced she and Locky had suffered a second miscarriage after losing a baby three years ago.

‘Unfortunately, we suffered yet another miscarriage. We had one a few years ago quite early in our relationship,’ she told hosts Larry Emdur and Kylie Gillies on The Morning Show.

‘Since we got married we’ve been trying to start a family and it’s been slow and not going to plan. It’s devastating.’

‘I am doing weekly fertility acupuncture and have completely cut caffeine and alcohol from my diet. I’ve maintained a steady weight,’ Irena explained 

Irena and Locky married in an intimate ceremony surrounded by family and friends In Melbourne earlier this year. 

The couple met on season eight of The Bachelor back in 2020, with Locky choosing Irena over aspiring Instagram model Bella Varelis.

In 2021, the couple revealed they suffered a miscarriage during the first few months together.

Speaking to Who magazine, Irena described the loss as a ‘devastating low’ and said the miscarriage may have been linked to the stress she was going through in the aftermath of The Bachelor. 

The practicing nurse also admitted she found it hard to ‘stay positive’ at times and so was incredibly grateful for the support of her husband Locky, 31

‘It can be hard to maintain a positive attitude during tough times. Locky has definitely brought out a more positive side to me,’ Irena wrote
