Staying strong: Bianca has been trying to conceive through IVF for the past two years in what has been an 'emotional' journey
'After an emotional 2 years of IVF (miscarriages/being told i need an operation to contain my endometriosis asap etc) my doc pretty much said this egg retrieval today will be my last [sic],' Bianca wrote on Facebook.
'So whatever eggies we get today (it aint a fun procedure!) get added to the 7 i have frozen (Plus our 2 little embryos) and thats it.
'Then we pop some suckers in & see what the universe has in store.'
Optimistic for the future: Bianca is trying to fall pregnant with her partner Sean O'Shannassy

Bianca, who previously told Daily Mail Australia she had undergone five rounds of IVF treatment, has been honest about her struggle to conceive.
She has previously suffered two miscarriages, and was told by doctors she needed to undergo a laparoscopy operation to address her endometriosis.
‘It is very emotional,’ she previously told DMA.
A brave face: ‘The hard part is with what I do I like to be very authentic and honest ... and I have to put on a brave face and pretend everything is okay when it’s not'

Bianca said by sharing her story other couples going through the same process had reached out to her to share their own stories.
'My wife and I went through exactly what you are experiencing ... we were told we will never be able to have children. Guess what? We ended up with three awesome sons. Have faith,' one person said.
