Megan McKenna, the 31-year-old singer and former TOWIE star, recently shared insights into her private IVF journey after announcing her pregnancy with her first child. Engaged to Scottish footballer Oliver Burke, 27, McKenna disclosed details of her fertility struggles, including a six-day hospitalization, in an Instagram post.
In her post, McKenna revealed her concerns about conceiving naturally due to her diagnosis of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) at a young age. She disclosed that despite attempts to conceive naturally, they turned to a fertility clinic for assistance. McKenna explained how diagnostic tests revealed issues with her womb lining, necessitating medical intervention.
McKenna shared a heartwarming video on Instagram, depicting the couple’s journey, from administering daily injections to increase womb lining thickness to the joy of discovering their pregnancy. She expressed gratitude for seeking medical help, stating, “I’m so happy we went to see a fertility clinic or I would never have known as my lining wouldn’t have been thick enough for implantation.”
The singer also revealed the decision to freeze embryos initially and later implant one once her womb lining reached the desired thickness. McKenna’s openness about her IVF journey sheds light on the challenges faced by individuals dealing with fertility issues.
McKenna’s story underscores the importance of seeking professional assistance and highlights the complexities of fertility treatments. As she prepares to embark on motherhood, McKenna’s journey serves as an inspiration for others navigating similar struggles.
