Do celebrities need to be more honest about fertility problems?

Woman's Hour

Available for over a year

We've all seen them - the 'miracle' stories of celebrity women becoming pregnant in later life. But a new study suggests doctors in the UK are worried these tabloid articles are fueling misconceptions about the reality of IVF and issues with fertility. Jane Garvey speaks to two women - Rosie and Karen - about their own experiences with IVF, and the impact celebrity culture had on their decisions to tell other people what was happening.
