For llina, 36, and Nick, 30, the six year struggle to have their own baby has been a grueling journey.
The couple faced multiple fertility issues but their biggest hurdle now was Ilina's low egg count.
Doctors managed to produce their highest egg collection result, but since then it's been multiple failures.

Their last round of treatment was the hardest.
"I don't know how much more we can go through this before I pull the pin," said a heartbroken Ilina.
Ilina's egg count had dramatically declined over the past year.
"It was a kick in the stomach," she said.

While not impossible to have children, it was worth considering other options such as an egg donor.
Ilina had thought about it. "But there's a selfishness in me that I want that connection with my child," she admitted.

Using a donor egg could be Ilina's last chance to have a baby, and it's a path participant Sheila, 48, took herself.
"The questions that were really plaguing me before have just disappeared completely," said Sheila as she held baby Phoenix in her arms for the first time.
"It was love at first sight."

With the birth having been filmed last year, Sheila and Tyson appeared on Today Extra in February 2025 with nine-month-old Phoenix to share their inspiring journey.
"He's got a lot of energy, he's not a great sleeper but we are filled with so much gratitude for the doctors, the donors, the IVF process," Sheila beamed.
"We love being parents, we're older parents, we're finding energy from...I don't know where."

As Sheila was reaping the rewards of her IVF and donor egg journey she encouraged asked Ilina: "Are you open to becoming a mother in a different way?"
That answer was yes.

"The bond was instant. My only regret was I didn't do this earlier," Sheila went on.
"It will not matter the 'how', it's just that you got there," she reassured her.
