MAFS UK star Peggy Rose, 33, announces she’s pregnant after being told she only had a 1% chance of conceiving during emotional IVF journey

by

Married at First Sight’s Peggy Rose is expecting a baby, despite doctors telling her there was only a 1% chance she would get pregnant.

The 33-year-old TV star has been trying to have a baby through IVF for several months, and it hasn’t been easy, with a number of challenges along the way.

Peggy shared some wonderful news on Instagram Thursday: she finally received a positive test result and a scan confirmed a ‘tiny little heartbeat.’

Peggy became well-known on a show in 2023 when she was paired with Georges Berthonneau, though they broke up shortly after the show ended. She is now dating someone new, whose identity hasn’t been revealed.

She shared a cute video of herself and her partner, both wearing hats that said ‘Mum’ and ‘Dad,’ as they kissed.

I’ve been a bit quiet lately, and I apologize for that. The past few days since getting my test results have been incredibly emotional, beautiful, and a lot to handle.

As you can imagine, I wanted to tell my closest family and friends in person before posting about it online,

You were right to keep going – it only took one small step! If you’re facing a challenge now, I hope this encourages you to persevere and stay optimistic, even if it feels difficult (sorry for the cheesy joke!).

I’m so excited, but I’m also taking things really slowly. Lots of people told me to wait until the 12-week mark before sharing any news, and honestly, I’m a bit superstitious! If I wasn’t sharing this journey online, whether it happened naturally or through IVF, I probably wouldn’t be saying anything just yet.

I made a promise to everyone from the start: I’d be completely honest and open about everything I’m going through, and I absolutely intend to keep that promise. I want to share the whole story, as it happens.

We’re taking things one day at a time and hoping for good news from the scan – that it shows a tiny heartbeat.

I’m so grateful for all your kind messages, encouraging words, and inspiring stories. Your support has meant the world to me.

‘If sharing this helps even one person feel less alone, then it’s worth it. Sharing is caring. 

Just two weeks ago, Peggy shared the difficult news that she has only a one percent chance of getting pregnant after a recent unsuccessful attempt at IVF.

I was so touched when I saw that the TV personality shared an update on her fertility journey. She just had her eggs collected at the hospital, and I really appreciate her openness about everything. It means a lot to see someone be so honest about what can be a really tough process.

She explained in a recent post, sharing photos of herself in her dress, that she hadn’t posted an update the day before because it had been a particularly emotional day.

It was really difficult to learn that after all the preparation and the procedure, only one egg was retrieved from my eight follicles. Even more upsetting was the uncertainty about whether that single egg was mature. I’m thankful for the care I received from the wonderful staff, but I can’t help feeling disappointed.

I briefly questioned whether sharing my experiences was a mistake, worried about how difficult it would be to explain everything without falling apart. But I made a promise to be honest about both the good and the bad, so I’m sharing this difficult truth in the hope that it might help others.

I really believed we’d get at least some eggs from the good-looking follicles, but this whole process is a humbling reminder that anything can happen.

I’m trying to remain optimistic and hoping the egg develops and gets fertilized. We’ll have answers tomorrow, but the waiting is really the toughest part – not knowing what will happen is the most difficult thing.

The surgery went really well. It was quick – I was in and out of the operating room in around 20 minutes. They gave me oxygen to keep me relaxed, and I didn’t feel any pain during the procedure. I only needed paracetamol for afterward. I’m experiencing some pain in my right ovary, which might be because they found twice as many follicles there as expected.

The staff were wonderful and offered a nice touch with tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and a biscuit each morning, although it didn’t fully make up for an otherwise disappointing day.

When I heard the news, all I wanted was to go home, crawl into bed, and rest, hoping for a positive outcome.

We’re so grateful for all your kind words and support – it means the world to us. The chances with this one egg seem to be quite low, around 1-3%, but we’re still keeping a positive attitude. ❤️

In 2024, she spoke about her desire to have children, admitting she wasn’t sure if it would be possible. She explained that she previously struggled with anxiety, which often caused her significant stress.

Okay, so it’s been five years since my last period. Five years! The doctors are saying it’s secondary hypothalamic amenorrhea, and honestly, it all comes down to stress. It’s like, my body just stopped because of everything. It’s terrifying, but I’m trying to figure it out. It’s just…five years. I keep hoping it’ll come back, but it feels so far off now.

I really want to find a partner who also wants to have children and be involved in starting a family. It’s going to be a challenging journey, as I likely need IVF, which is a bit frightening. I found out a couple of months ago, and I’m still really upset about it.

Peggy revealed the details of her painful breakup with Georges in 2024, explaining that his newfound fame had changed him.

When the E4 show wrapped up, Georges ended our marriage pretty quickly, and honestly, it just broke my heart. I was absolutely devastated.

She then claimed that their relationship went south because Georges became too obsessed with fame.
