Following the Supreme Court overturning of Roe v. Wade, Lauren Conrad is opening up about receiving "lifesaving care" due to an ectopic pregnancy.
On Tuesday, The Hills alum, 36, shared a series of Instagram Stories in which she revealed that she was diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy prior to starting a family with husband William Tell.
"The last few days have been hard. I've been searching for the right words, and reposting someone else's didn't feel quite right," she said. "I wanted to share my own experience with lifesaving reproductive care."

She continued, "Six years ago, while trying to start our family, I had an ectopic pregnancy.
The Little Market co-founder shared that doctors were able to save her fallopian tubes due to "prompt medical care," which allowed her to have two healthy pregnancies. Conrad and Tell are now parents to sons Liam and son Charlie, 2.
"Yesterday I read about a woman with this same condition having her ectopic pregnancy rupture — and facing death — while waiting for treatment," she wrote. "Because her doctor was on the phone with his lawyer out of fear of losing his medical license (for using a D&C as a tool to help establish the diagnosis of an ectopic pregnancy)."
"This is heart breaking [sic]," she added.
