Megan has previously opened up about her IVF journey with fiancée Oliver.

The pair revealed they had consulted a fertility clinic after struggling to conceive.

Megan wrote: "I wanted to make sure everything was ok in there so we decided to see a fertility clinic.

"When I was younger I was diagnosed with PCOS and knew I should freeze my eggs at some point. We went and had a scan and tests and it showed that my ovaries were ok but my womb lining was thin!

"It was at 5 when it should be at 8 and there was some other issues we needed help with. I'm so happy we went to see a fertility clinic or I would never of known as my lining wouldn’t have been thick enough to make a successful implantation."

She continued: "We spoke with our doctor and decided to freeze our embryos first and also have 1 implanted once my lining was at the right thickness and was nice and healthy.

"I started on medication 3 times a day and injections twice a day and pessaries for extra progesterone. After months of getting my lining good I went in for an egg retrieval."

She added: "We got enough to make this happen…

"A few months after getting myself better and fit!! We decided it was time to have our AAA embryo implanted! It was incredible."

Megan concluded: "A month later when my lining was good we had our baby put in it was the most magical experience seeing it go into me being placed safely with embryo glue to make sure it sticks! And it did!

"I can’t thank our doctor Mohammed and nurse Jade and acupuncturist who was amazing throughout the whole process. I feel so lucky to be where I am and couldn’t have done it without them.

"Thank you to Oli for being my rock and my at home doctor and my mum for always being there for me."

Megan and Oliver's engagement was first announced in June 2023.

Oliver proposed to Megan during a holiday to Montenegro - and she didn't hesitate to say yes.
