Sophie Monk undergoes treatment at Sydney IVF clinic after revealing she plans to freeze her eggs

Sophie Monk confirmed she split with Stu Laundy in January after initially revealing she’d hoped they’d have a child together within the year.

Shortly afterwards, the now-single 38-year-old announced that she was going to go ahead with her baby plans, with our without a man, by freezing her eggs. 

And on Monday, the former Bachelorette star appeared to be taking steps towards having that much longed-for child, as she underwent a mystery procedure at a Sydney IVF clinic.  

The blonde shared a confronting video to Instagram Stories in which she’s unconscious in hospital after undergoing surgery. 

She thanked doctors and nurses at Monash IVF, a Sydney In Vitro Fertilisation clinic, calling them ‘angels’. 

While it is unclear what procedure the beauty underwent, however she did reveal that doctors had discovered she has endometriosis during the surgery.

Prior to IVF treatment, women may undergo investigative procedures, such as an endoscopy, to check for conditions such as endometriosis or fibroids, conditions which can make conceiving a child more difficult.  

In a candid chat with KIIS FM’s Jackie ‘O’ Henderson in May, Sophie confirmed that she was in the process of freezing her eggs.

‘It’s all booked in. So I go to Spain to do Love Island and I’m going to do a travel special with [best pal] Oscar [Gordon] in Italy, and fly straight back and freeze them,’ Sophie told Jackie ‘O’ Henderson.

The process of freezing eggs begins with eight to eleven days of injecting a thin needle filled with a fertility hormone into the soft tissue of the lower stomach. 

Eggs are then collected with an ultrasound-guided tool that is inserted into the vagina, and once frozen, the eggs can be stored for many years.

In an interview with A Current Affair in February, Sophie said that she’s still determined to start a family despite breaking up with Stu Laundy, who she thought was ‘The One’.

‘I’d love to [have kids] because I know they’d be so loved. I’d love to be a mum but I’m going to have to freeze eggs,’ she told reporter Leila McKinnon.

Slightly shocked by the admission that Sophie had thought about fertility treatments, Leila asked if this was just ‘a headline’ or something she was genuinely considering.  

‘I’ve made a plan,’ Sophie replied. ‘It’s just the injections and all of those things…and fitting them into my schedule. I’m definitely doing it.’

Sophie, who previously dated Good Charlotte’s Benji Madden, Sam Worthington and Jason Statham, chose millionaire pub baron Stu Laundy in the grand finale episode of last year’s The Bachelorette.   

During a chat with KIIS FM ahead of the show’s premiere, Sophie Monk revealed her baby plans with her chosen suitor.

‘I told him I want a baby and to get married,’ she said at the time. 

The blonde revealed she felt she was missing out by not experiencing motherhood: ‘But now I’m like, yeah, I feel like I’m missing out [by not being a mum]’ she said 

After the show’s finale in October, Sophie revealed that she was looking into having Stu’s vasectomy reversed. 

‘[The vasectomy] doesn’t really matter because it can be reversed pretty quickly or regardless, I could go freeze my eggs and chuck ’em over to wherever he’s got his sperm banked,’ Sophie told news.com.au.

However while the romance was not to be, it appears that Sophie has forged ahead with her plans to ensure she becomes a mother.

 On her own? Whether the former radio star decides to have a child alone is however up for debate, as late last year, Sophie admitted that she’d find it ‘lonely’ to be a single mother
