The TV personality has also shared that after struggling to conceive naturally, she and fiancé Rami were considering going down the surrogacy route and she has previously revealed she has considered fostering, as her mum was fostered as a child.
She has a low number of AMH hormones, meaning she also has a limited number of eggs available, and also suffers from polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which directly affects the ovaries.
Gemma and businessman Rami previously spilled the beans about their plans for their upcoming nuptials, revealing they want three separate weddings.
She explained that she wants a main ceremony in the UK, a second taking place abroad and then a ‘formal one’ for their closest family and friends.
In true GC style, she added that multiple celebrations means she is also planning to have several different wedding dresses.
Gemma has been open about past fertility struggles and has previously suffered three miscarriages.
She suffered her first heartbreaking loss in 2012, finding the strength to speak out about it publicly eight years later in 2020.
The reality star did not realise she was pregnant at the time, said that the baby ‘died in front of her’ after giving birth at home on her landing.

Gemma suffered her second pregnancy loss in 2020 during the Covid pandemic.
Tragically, just a few months later, Gemma endured a third devastating miscarriage in July 2020 after falling pregnant with her ex-boyfriend James Argent’s baby.
Elsewhere, Gemma has revealed she is now microdosing on Mounjaro after fearing the weight loss jab had left her with ‘agonising’ health woes.
The TOWIE star revealed to the Daily Mail last month that she had a ‘gallbladder attack’ in August after dropping to the floor in pain.
The star has gone from a size 26 to a size 20 and lost 3.5st since taking the jab, and now Gemma has revealed she is back on the jab after taking a break.
‘I had to stop the jabs for a bit because I had a gallbladder attack in August, but they’ve assured me that it’s not actually linked to Mounjaro,’ Gemma told The Mirror.
‘I’ve given it a rest and I’ve really been managing what I’ve been eating. But I think I’m going to start microdosing because I feel with the microdosing, you don’t get all the [side] effects.’
Gemma followed the guidance to increase her dosage incrementally, from the starting dose of 2.5mg, to the maximum dose of 15mg a week.
But she now confirmed she will be sticking to the 2.5mg dosage as that was her favourite amount.

Should celebrities openly share details of their fertility struggles and weight loss journeys?
Hailing the drug as ‘life changing’ she continued: ‘I’ve lost about 3½st and kept it off. I just feel good. I’m never going to look stick thin. I don’t want to look stick thin. It’s not who I am. But it’s about being healthier. So it’s all going in the right direction.’
Her end is goal is to lose 6st in total from her original weight but she isn’t in any rush to drop the weight dramatically.
One of the reported common side effects to taking Mounjaro is gallstones, according to Superdrug doctor Dr Babak Ashrafi.
He wrote on the company website: ‘Gallbladder problems such as gallstones or inflammation of the gallbladder (cholecystitis) are rare but serious side effects of Mounjaro.
‘GLP-1 inhibitors like Mounjaro can cause gallbladder problems because they can reduce the amount of a hormone called cholecystokinin, which is important for healthy gallbladder function.’
The Mounjaro patient leaflet also warns gallstones is a common side effect.
A spokeswoman for Eli Lilly, which makes Mounjaro, told the publication that patient safety is their top priority and they actively monitor, evaluate and report safety information for all their medicines to [regulatory agency] MHRA.
While Gemma has proudly displayed the results of her weight loss, she also suffered from a more immediate side effect from the jabs.
