Heather Rae Young finally got some “great news” on her rocky fertility journey with husband Tarek El Moussa when her doctor was able to retrieve more eggs than expected.

“We are officially home from egg retrieval and got great news from my Doctor ? Initially Tarek and I thought we were only going to get 2 eggs [from] this retrieval but we ended up with 7 eggs, 6 ended up being good,” the “Selling Sunset” star wrote on Instagam Tuesday.

While nothing is guaranteed, Young, 34, said she remains optimistic.

“I’ve had a few low moments throughout this journey but I’ve tried to stay as positive as possible,” the Netflix personality wrote, “and it shows that the body is incredible and can do wonders. Going into this having sad moments that my body wasn’t creating enough healthy follicles and to come out of this with great news! ?.”

Young noted she had extracted three healthy eggs from a prior procedure, meaning she and El Moussa, 40, are hopeful they’ll be able to make nine strong embryos.

Young added that she is “resting and relaxing” and will know more information about how healthy the embryos are in two weeks. She also explained that there is a 50 percent chance that half of the embryos will survive.

“I’m very happy with the outcome, and I’m excited,” she said, calling it better news than they thought.

Young also thanked the “Flip or Flop” star for being by her side during her fertility quest.

“I also want to thank my amazing hubby for being there for me at all times and being my rock. He truly is my dream come true and I’m just so excited for what’s to come for our family. ❤️,” she wrote.

Young and El Moussa went to her procedure bright and early.

“Big day today!” he said in a video posted to his wife’s Instagram Story at 6:45 a.m. while en route to the hospital.

Young then added, “We’re doing egg retrieval, so we’re on our way to the doctor right now and we’re gonna get two good strong eggs! Ready, babe?” to which El Moussa responded, “We’re ready!”

Last week, Young shared that she didn’t get the best news regarding her egg freezing process but wanted to continue sharing her journey to let others know that they were not alone.

The celebrity real estate broker has been open about wanting to start a family with El Moussa, telling People in October 2021, “To create something with him, that’s ours, together … I feel I would regret it if I didn’t. So we’re open to it.”

Young and El Moussa married earlier that month after two years of dating.

El Moussa was previously married to Christina Haack, whom he divorced in January 2018. He and Haack, who is now engaged to Josh Hall, share two kids together: Taylor, 11, and Brayden, 6.

Young has a close relationship with El Moussa’s children and even referred to herself as their “bonus mom” last July.

“Never knew what it was like to feel this much love and joy before these babies came into my life. ♥️,” she wrote on Instagram at the time, adding, “They’re our number one priority no matter what and I really don’t think there’s anything more special than seeing two kids grow up and blossom into who they’re supposed to be.”
