Mother-of-two Fifi Box says women should be ‘realistic’ about IVF – UK Time News

Fifi Box has spoken candidly about her experience of having a child through IVF, saying that women need to be realistic about the process, which can often end in disappointment.

The 45-year-old UKTN FM radio host shares a nine-year-old daughter named Trixie with her ex-partner Grant Kenny, the famed Ironman and lifesaver.

Her second child, three-year-old Daisy, was conceived via IVF using an anonymous sperm donor.

Fifi explained to Now to Love that once she decided to use IVF to conceive, the doctors told her she had “little chance of success.”

Her advice to IVF candidates is to be realistic about the statistics.

“Setting realistic expectations can help with heartbreaking outcomes,” she said.

After telling her chances, Fifi “went into the process very measured and I was so delighted and surprised by the outcome,” she said.

The former Neighbors star said young women need to learn about their own fertility if they want to have children, in order to prepare for IVF if they need to.

It comes after Fifi talked about being a single role model mothers across Australia.

Speaking to Stellar magazine last year, the breakfast radio host said she was proud to have her media platform to showcase diverse families to everyday Aussies.

“It’s important to point out and educate that families come in all shapes and sizes,” she said.
