Anticipation: In October 2020, Rhian revealed that her third round of in vitro fertilization (IVF) was ‘getting closer’ in a candid Instagram post shared
Rhian explained: ‘I’ve been told I may never be a mother, and I’m heartbroken.
The doctors said that I have the egg count of a woman over 45, which means that it is unlikely that I will conceive naturally.
“It also means that the chances of getting pregnant from IVF have dropped from 30 percent to two percent, which was pretty devastating to hear.”
In vitro fertilization, known as IVF, is a medical procedure in which a woman has an already fertilized egg inserted into her womb to become pregnant.
It is used when couples are unable to 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 as normal.
The procedure can be performed using eggs and sperm from a couple or from donors.
