“Once you have these miscarriages you are always like, this baby is meant to be here, I have to keep trying,” she said on Zoe Coates-Clark’s Life & Soul podcast.
“So I have thought about IVF because having researched it and spoken to some amazing people, it seems like the right option for my age.

Jools and Jamie Oliver already have five children
The couple’s five children include: Poppy, 19, Daisy Boo, 17, Petal Blossom, 12, Buddy, ten, and five-year-old River.
She added: “It’s just imagining the baby in the blanket and it’s all the lovely things that I’ve really cherished over the years.
“It is made much worse because Poppy is going to university and because I think, ‘Oh, there you are, there’s a room free’, I’m sure that’s a sign.
“Now I’ve got the older and the younger (groups of children) and I’ve got River, I think you know just one more, life’s all about pleasure that just gives me so much pleasure.”
Jools says women should speak more openly about miscarriage
Having experienced five miscarriages, Jools urges people to talk more openly about their experiences.
She explained: “Jamie arrived and he was like ‘oh my god’ it was like a murder scene. It’s so visually hideous. I don’t remember the rest. I must have almost passed out.”
“I mean, had I left it, had I taken the journey to go home and not the hospital I don’t think I would have survived because it was so much blood loss.”
Jools also said more support should be offered to women after her second miscarriage meant she “could have died”.
“They do [keep in contact with you] when they come to check the health of the baby every day, why can’t they do that with a miscarriage as it could be fatal.”
What does Jamie Oliver say?
Although Jools is keen to add another child to their family, Jamie has said he’s happy with the size of their family.
Speaking on Joe Wicks’ podcast, Joe asked Jamie who was the one that wanted such a large family.
Jamie revealed it’s Jools.
He said: “Jools is literally nuts and she wants another one.
“It’s definitely an interesting one but it’s her thing right, that’s all she’s ever dreamt of and that’s the thing that makes her truly happy.
“She just loves being a mother and for that I’m grateful, but I think, you know, at 45, we’re sort of probably on the limits.”
