After being told that she was infertile, a woman who believed it to be so embarked upon solo IVF at 27. She had a miraculous baby boy after she broke up with her boyfriend.
Becky Bell, from Queensland, 27, had her son Noah, born on November 24 weighing 7lbs, by herself after embarking on an IVF journey costing her £8,000.
Following her split from her partner in July 2020 she had her egg count checked and found that only a very small amount of eggs were left.
Combine that with her 16-year old endometriosis diagnosis, the chances of the shop assistant getting pregnant were very low. She realized she didn’t have the time or patience to wait until the right man to begin a family.
Becky decided to have sperm from a donor in order to get pregnant. Jane (60) supported Becky’s decision and said she couldn’t be happier being a single mother.

The single mom opened up and said that it was an amazing experience to see her son for the first-time.
The nose of the donor is clearly his, but I have my frown. He is the most adorable baby.
“I had just ended a relationship, so I was aware that I would not be able meet someone else and try to have a child as quickly.
“So, I chose to go it alone and make it my own. Being a mom has been something I have always wanted. He is such a happy and healthy baby.
Becky was pictured during her pregnancy. Becky suffers with endometriosis (a condition that makes it more difficult for women who are trying to get pregnant). Due to her low eggs count and thought she was infertile, Becky believed she was.
Becky separated from her partner July 2020. She went to get tests performed to confirm her fertility.
However, her results revealed that she had an extremely low egg count and advised her to have a child in the coming years.
Becky was diagnosed at 16 with endometriosis. This is a painful condition that causes tissue to resemble the uterine walls to grow outside of the body.
It makes it more difficult for women with the condition to have children. Becky’s low egg count meant that she had very little time to attempt to have a child.
Just a month following her pregnancy test, in August 2020 she decided to continue IVF with a donor sperm to increase her chances of becoming a mom.

Becky claimed Nah is a content child and that he does not look like Becky. His nose comes from his sperm donor.
She said, “I was shocked by the news but knew that I had to try now for a baby.”
“I couldn’t wait to find my perfect man.”
Becky chose a donor through their profiles, and her family helped to narrow down the choices.
She stated, “I chose someone who looked just like me.”
“But, the decisive factor was the reason of the donor to do it because his friend also suffered from endometriosis as me.
Becky was able to transfer her eggs in March 2021.
She stated, “It had been a very nervous wait.”
I was convinced by my friends to test for a weak line four days later. So, from that point on, I did two more tests per day.
“But it took years to sink in.”
All became surreal after Becky’s bump began to grow.
Becky said that it was crazy to be pregnant and then added: “I loved watching him move.”
“I was nervous about being a mother for the first time, but I didn’t feel like a single mom.
“I want to be his best mom.”
Becky was 23 years old when her waters burst and she began experiencing contractions.
Gold Coast University Hospital was her first stop. Her little boy started to lose his heartbeat and she had to be intubated.
Becky was the mother of Noah and Jane is her 60-year-old sister. Becky stated that her family helps her raise Noah.
The baby she called Noah was born at 8:02am on November 24th, after a labor of 31 hours. Her mother Jane, 60, and Alicia, 30 were by her side. Noah weighed 7lbs.
Becky explained that they had to sedate him and wrap his cord around him.
They put him on me, but he didn’t cry. They took him from me, and he began crying. It was quite a relief.
“I was anxious to meet him, but he was so handsome.”
Becky returned home the following day with Noah and stated that her mother was there to support her.
Becky said, “It feels natural to be mother,” I keep staring at him, wondering “How are you my son?”
“I didn’t regret it at all doing this by myself.” He is the greatest.
