Rhian Sugden shows off her incredible figure in sportswear and lingerie

Rhian Sugden showed off her incredible figure as she posed for selfies on Thursday.

The model, 36, looked sensational as she slipped into a black sports bra paired with neon pink leggings.

She showed off her toned abs, flexed her arms and beamed as she posed without makeup to show off her natural beauty.

Despite looking fit and toned, Rhian revealed that her workout regimen had been slack lately.

She explained, “Recently completely fell off the gym wagon, first day back today.

She continued, “Quick sweaty lunch session with @aj.fitnesspt Leggings aren’t quite bright enough I don’t think. Thanks @hxmefitness for gym gear.’

Rhian also stripped down to a sassy lingerie set as she posed for a sizzling Story.

It comes after Rhian shared how she developed an eating disorder as a result of the stress of IVF treatment and her mother’s diagnosis of colon cancer.

She explained how she could only eat half a banana and a piece of chocolate a day because eating made her feel like she was “suffocating.

Rhian, who has undergone six failed rounds of IVF, said she dreamed of having “four or five” little boys running around but would be “lucky to have just one now.”

The media personality and her husband Oliver Mellor spent £75,000 to conceive but remain one of seven couples experiencing fertility problems.

Rhian shared her great fear around the time of her most recent IVF cycle and her mother’s battle with cancer last summer led to an eating disorder.

Rhian revealed she lost more than two stone after developing a fear of food: “Last year was the year from hell.

“I’m in a much better place now, but in the summer I was so anxious that I felt full all the time and every time I tried to eat I felt like I was being strangled.

“It was a really horrible feeling of suffocation and for about three months I lived on a piece of chocolate and half a banana every day.”

Rhian revealed that she now feels on an ‘even keel’ after being given anti-anxiety medication to help her cope.

On Mother’s Day, Rhian posted a candid photo to her Instagram story sharing that she’d had a “tough” day amid her fertility struggles.

She was in tears in a selfie uploaded to her social media as she wrote the caption, “The reality of Mother’s Day for an IVF warrior. It is difficult.’

In her Mother’s Day snap, she lay in bed staring at the camera with tears streaming down her cheeks.

She was makeup free and had her blonde locks in loose waves over her shoulders while being honest and open in her caption.

She announced her decision to start the in vitro fertilization process in 2019 after being told by doctors that she has an egg count from someone who is at least 13 years older.

In September 2021, Rhian revealed her fourth round of IVF had failed and admitted at the time that she was struggling to put on a ‘brave face’. It is unknown if she has since tried for a fifth round.

The beauty showed her vulnerable side as she candidly discussed how she felt down on Instagram during her challenging fertility journey.

And when he shared a glamorous photo in lingerie, Rhian gave an update: “I was feeling down [blue heart emoji]. A few tough weeks behind us…

‘For those who have been following my journey…IVF round 4 failed ❤️‍but it’s now time for me to pick myself up and keep going!

“Being in the public eye and trying to keep a brave face is harder than it looks, but I’ve done it many times before and I’ll do it again.

“It’s time to put on my best underwear, get myself back to normal, and get back to doing what makes me happy behind that camera! Big shout out to my support network. You’re the best! ❤️ #ivfwarrior [pineapple emoji].’ [sic]

In April 2019, Rhian discussed her plans to undergo IVF after being told she has an egg count of ‘a woman over 45’, but added that the procedure only has a ‘two percent’ success rate.

Rhian explained: ‘I’ve been told I may never be a mother – and I’m devastated.

‘Doctors said I have the egg count of a woman over 45, which means it’s unlikely I would ever conceive naturally.

“It also means the chances of getting pregnant through IVF dropped from 30 percent to 2 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 implanted into her uterus to become pregnant.

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.

How does IVF work?

In vitro fertilization, known as IVF, is a medical procedure in which a woman has an already fertilized egg implanted into her uterus to become pregnant.

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.

Guidelines from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommend that IVF should be offered on the NHS to women under 43 who have been trying to conceive through regular unprotected sex for two years.

People can also pay for IVF privately, which costs an average of £3,348 for a single cycle, according to figures published in January 2018, and there’s no guarantee of success.

The NHS says the success rate for women under 35 is about 29 per cent, with the chances of a successful cycle decreasing as they get older.

It is believed that about eight million babies have been born as a result of IVF since the first ever case, British woman Louise Brown, was born in 1978.

Chance of success

The success rate of IVF depends on the age of the woman being treated, as well as the cause of the infertility (if known).

Younger women are more likely to have a successful pregnancy.

IVF is usually not recommended for women over the age of 42, as the chances of a successful pregnancy are considered too low.

Between 2014 and 2016, the percentage of IVF treatments that resulted in a live birth was:

29 percent for women under 35

23 percent for women aged 35 to 37

15 percent for women aged 38 to 39

9 percent for women ages 40 to 42

3 percent for women ages 43 to 44

2 percent for women over age 44
