The couple documented the entire process, from opening the syringes that they used to inject Kate’s eggs into Michelle, to the positive pregnancy test and the soap star’s growing bump.

Michelle wrote: “As it is National Fertility Week, we just wanted to share a glimpse of our amazing IVF journey.

“From the initial injections, to the transfer of Kate’s egg to me, it’s been a rollercoaster of emotions, but one we wouldn’t change for the whole world!

“We were extremely lucky that it worked first time, as we know the journey can be a lot harder for some. So whatever stage you are at with your fertility treatment, try and stay strong and stay positive. Teddy, you made it all worthwhile.”
