Adams who became the first woman to win a boxing Olympic medal in 2012 opened up about her concerns about trying to conceive as a same-sex couple.
“I think there’s still a stigma attached to the IVF process and, for same-sex couples, there’s an additional layer of complexity,” Nicola Adams said.
“All of this needs to be spoken about more widely. People need to be educated about this process so that they’re not going into it completely blind. The information is out there but we really had to dig for it.”
