Alex Reid’s pregnant fiancée Nikki Manashe has shared an update on her journey as she posted a clip of herself receiving intralipids treatment in hospital.
The blogger, 36, who recently confirmed she’s having a girl, took to Instagram to post the clip of her treatment, after the couple’s tough seven-year IVF journey which saw them suffer five miscarriages.
Intralipid is an intravenous infusion that aims to provide essential fatty acids that are necessary for women who have suffered repeat miscarriages.

The WAG said: ‘OMG everyone we have hit a huge milestone!!! 24 weeks viability! Well done baby girl! You are a fighter! At 24 weeks baby has a chance of survival if they are born.
‘Most babies born before this time cannot live because their lungs and other vital organs are not developed enough. The care that can now be given in baby (neonatal) units means more and more babies born early do survive.’ (sic)

The pair had originally conceived twins, but sadly one of the babies died in December.
At the time, Nikki explained to MailOnline that she is ‘balancing sadness with happiness’ after finding out she and Alex had lost one twin at her seven-and-a-half-week scan at Harley Street Fertility Clinic, in London, on December 2.
She said: ‘I haven’t planned on ever having twins – who does? But once I was pregnant with two babies I wanted them both so much.
‘I had started planning to move to a new house in the countryside and visualised and dreamed of two babies growing up together.
‘I felt like all this hard work had paid off and I had two amazing babies at the end of a very dark sad tunnel.’
