Whitney, who thought she would struggle to get pregnant due to health issues, said on Instagram: 'No baby; only cysts. Thank you for the thousands of congratulations and well-wishes.
'I'm sorry we're not celebrating a viable pregnancy right now. This is as hard to watch as it was to go through, but I'm thankful for your support.'
Whitney had three positive at home tests and had even told her ex-boyfriend she was expected during her show.
But sadly they were false positives, a doctor explained to her after she underwent an ultrasound on Tuesday's night episode.

Instead of seeing a baby, the doctor only found cysts as Whitney suffers from poly cystic ovary syndrome [PCOS].
While she was not expecting to be pregnant especially with her former boyfriend Lennie Alehat, hearing she was not pregnant was tough.
The star told People: 'I started thinking that maybe this was meant to be, because I've always been worried that I wouldn't be able to get pregnant. So that's what made it all the more traumatic.

'Even though the doctor said that I was never pregnant, I thought that I was. So to find out that I wasn't, after a week of thinking that I was, it felt like a loss, and I grieved it like a loss.'
Compounding her sadness is that she felt like she had let fans down.
'The worst part is, that happened back in August, so I've had a lot of time to sit with it and get over it. But when the episodes started airing, so many people in my real life and on the internet were congratulating me.

Kept to the story line: Whitney found out in August she was not expecting but waited until the her show aired to explain what had occurred. Two weeks ago she posted a picture of her positive tests. The star said that made her feel bad as people were so excited for her
'I felt so awful, and especially for the women who said to me, ''I have PCOS, and you gave me hope that I can get pregnant.'' The last thing I want to do is diminish hope for women with PCOS who want to get pregnant.'
Her ex-boyfriend was also very disappointed, she told People, as he had started gathering baby clothes.
'We didn't work out as a couple, but the one thing that I never questioned was that he would be an amazing father, because I see him with his nieces and nephews, and he's amazing with kids. I think we're both happier that it turned out this way, but it was awful, and I think it was just as hard on him.'
Supportive ex: Despite still grappling with the news herself, her ex Lennie Alehat was happy about becoming a dad and was disappointed to find out his former girlfriend was not pregnant
