Finding the funds for a round of IVF can be challenging to say the least. Depending on where you are in the world and what clinic you are at, one single round of IVF could cost you up to £9000. Add to that, the statistics that show that it takes on average 3 rounds of IVF to achieve a pregnancy, and you might ask yourself how you will ever find the money to achieve your dreams of parenthood
Rhian Sugden, the former Celebrity Big Brother star and former Page Three girl found herself in that very situation, and has revealed she financed her £150k IVF journey by selling content on OnlyFans, underscoring the lengths she went to fulfill her dream of parenthood. The 37-year-old, who has been candid about her struggles to conceive, shared that her long-awaited pregnancy was made possible through her perseverance and dedication to undergoing an eighth round of IVF.
The couple had faced fears of remaining childless due to Rhian’s low egg count and perimenopausal hormone levels, which presented a mere three percent chance of natural conception.
Opening up to The Sun newspaper, Rhian revealed the challenges she and her husband faced while trying to conceive, emphasising that the costly eighth round of IVF was their last attempt before exploring alternatives like surrogacy.
While acknowledging her husband Ollie’s initial skepticism about the concept of men paying to see her photos, Rhian emphasised the financial success she found on OnlyFans, surpassing her earnings from her entire career. Despite her uncertainty about continuing this venture after the baby’s arrival, Rhian expressed immense joy at the news of her pregnancy, though she highlighted the ongoing expenses for medication.
