Jules Robinson, 41, of Married At First Sight, reveals plans to undergo IVF to conceive her second child: ‘I don’t have time on my side’
Married At First Sight star Jules Robinson has revealed her plans to undergo in vitro fertilization (IVF) if she and husband Cameron Merchant fail to conceive naturally.
In conversation with the Kidspot podcast The Juggling Actmother-of-one Robinson, 41, candidly discussed her fertility struggles.
The discussion started after co-host Melissa Wilson brought up the subject of fellow media personality Fifi Box’s IVF journey.
Robinson, her husband Merchant, 39, and their son Oliver, two, are currently preparing for a professional project in the UK.
“We’ve decided that once my campaign is over there, we’re going to hammer and tongue and really try [to conceive naturally],” Jules said on the podcast.

“And if it doesn’t happen in September, when we get back, we’ll do IVF.”
Robinson said she’s optimistic about conceiving naturally, but acknowledges that time is of the essence.
She also admitted that the hormonal side effects of IVF are daunting, as she considers herself “already sensitive.”

“I think I don’t have time on my side so I think if we can speed it up as soon as possible I’m okay with it [IVF],” she added.
Robinson and Merchant conceived their son naturally and welcomed him into the world in October 2020.
IVF is a medical procedure in which a woman has an already fertilized egg implanted into her uterus to become pregnant.
“I think I don’t have time on my side so I think if we can speed it up as soon as possible I’m okay with it [IVF],’ she said
It is used when couples cannot conceive naturally and a sperm and egg are removed from their bodies and combined in a laboratory before the embryo is inserted into the woman.
Once the embryo is in the uterus, the pregnancy should continue.
The procedure can be performed with eggs and sperm from a couple or from donors.
The success rate of IVF depends on the age of the woman being treated, as well as the cause of the infertility (if known).
