Teen Mom OG's Amber Portwood revealed that she is not planning on having more children following her re-diagnosis of Borderline Personality and Bipolar disorder.

On Monday night's episode of the popular MTV series, the 26-year-old reality star explained to her ex, Gary Shirley, why she "can't get pregnant" given her diagnosis.

"I just got re-diagnosed for Borderline Personality and Bipolar Disorder, and I've been taking three medications now that I need to take for the rest of my life," Portwood said. "I can't, I can't get pregnant on this medication."

"I can get pregnant, but it would mess up the fetus. If I do not have medication, I will not be normal. I would have … crazy mood swings," she continued.

Portwood's fiancé, Matt Baier, spoke out about Portwood, saying, "She had a breakdown, a serious, emotional breakdown over this."

Portwood and Baier have been going through a rather tumultuous period in their relationship. Back in August, they put their wedding on hold after the news broke that Baier allegedly failed to pay child support for several of his biological children by other women, according to PEOPLE.

Despite this setback, the couple were able to patch up their relationship and have moved forward with wedding planning. According to Portwood, Baier is "completely into it."

"He is writing down the guest list and we already have 200 people on it, I don't even know 50 of them!" she said.
