Caelynn Bell (née Miller-Keyes) offered a candid update about her and her husband Dean Bell’s fertility journey.
“[I’m] still not pregnant [and I’m currently] on my period,” Caelynn, 29, said in a Wednesday, March 19, YouTube video. “It’s hard. I’m putting way less pressure on myself than I was in the first few months of trying.”
According to Caelynn, her mom had gotten pregnant “so fast,” and so, the Bachelor Nation star assumed that her journey would follow suit.
“I was like, ‘That’s gonna be me,’ and I was really disappointed when it didn’t happen in the first month, second [or] third,” Caelynn said. “So, now, I’m like, ‘Whatever’ and everyone I’ve talked to they’re like, ‘This is meant to be fun’ and it’s going a lot better than it was in the beginning ‘cause I was really sad and down.”

I don’t know if that’s considered a goal because we are actively […]
Caelynn has since changed her mindset to be more positive.
“I’m like, ‘It’ll happen when it happens,’” she proclaimed.
Caelynn and Dean, 33, who both changed their last names to his mother’s maiden name, have been married since 2023 after meeting during Bachelor in Paradise season 6. She previously shared in a January vlog that they were “actively trying” to expand their family.

“I am going to get some testing done [and] same with Dean and figure out what’s going on,” Caelynn explained on Wednesday. “Hopefully, [it’s] nothing.”
The Bachelor alum further noted that she wants two children “max,” but isn’t interested in homeschooling their future offspring.
“We will not homeschool [like Dean did but] maybe do a co-op if our friends have kids the same age and we can make it work,” she said. “But, probably not.”
Earlier this year, Caelynn admitted that getting pregnant was on her 2025 “vision board.”
When it comes to family planning, Caelynn Miller-Keyes and Dean Unglert may continue to do things their own way. The 27-year-old Bachelor alum recently revealed that the 31-year-old former Bachelorette contestant has offered to get a vasectomy before the couple have kids. “I don’t know if Dean’s talked about this on the podcast, but he […]
“We are trying to start a family. It’s on the vision board, which might be weird,” she said in a January 2 YouTube video. “I don’t know if that’s considered a goal because we are actively trying. It’s just harder to make a baby than I thought it would be.”
At the time, Caelynn was “still figuring” the best ways to deal with fertility challenges.
“I also finally got in with the OB in January, but I got this Mira [Fertility Tracker] device. So, you plug in the tester, pee on a stick and it tells you your [luteinizing hormone] LH levels,” Caelynn explained. “I was peeing on the other sticks that show lines and I was having such a hard time. I was like, ‘When am I ovulating?’ This, I’m still figuring it out.”
