Navigating the Pathway to Conception: Challenges and Triumphs Ahead - Long quest towards conceiving a child
At 44, Atomic Kitten singer Liz McClarnon has finally reached a long-awaited milestone - she's pregnant! But the road to this moment was fraught with painful setbacks and emotional turmoil. In an exclusive interview with The Mirror, McClarnon bravely opens up about her arduous fertility journey.
A Tumultuous Trip with IVF
In the early days of her relationship with husband Peter Cho, they dived headfirst into in vitro fertilization (IVF). However, their efforts were met with three failed embryo transfers in 2022 and two heartbreaking miscarriages in 2024. McClarnon painfully recalls those dark times when she felt utterly overwhelmed.
Found Strength During Christmas
In 2024, after suffering a miscarriage and vowing to stop trying, McClarnon's loving husband, Peter, remained steadfast in his support: "I'll support whatever you decide." This unwavering support, coupled with the healing energy of Christmas spent with family, rekindled Liz's hope for another chance at parenthood.
The Astonishing Miracle of Pregnancy
Looking back on her journey, McClarnon now views pregnancy as a true miracle. It's a profound realization, as she comprehends the myriad components that must align perfectly for a successful conception and a healthy baby.
The Joyous Announcement
In May 2025, McClarnon shared the thrilling news of her pregnancy on Instagram. Fans and fellow musicians like Jenny Frost (47) and Natasha Hamilton (42) squealed with joy, empathizing with her perseverance throughout her fertility struggles. McClarnon was taken aback by the effusive response but admitted that it was only a matter of time before her secret bubbled over.

I'm not going to say that I'm not overwhelmed by the science behind the miraculous conception that led to my pregnancy, considering the health-and-wellness challenges we've faced during our fertility journey. In those difficult moments, the mental-health support from my partner and family, especially during holidays like Christmas, was instrumental in helping me maintain resilience in our parenting aspirations.
