A former army medic has revealed how her new fiancé helped her try to get pregnant with donor sperm after her plight to be a mum nearly killed her. Brittney Zirkle, 31, was declared medically dead in 2019 when she blacked out in hospital, and lost triplets - conceived through IUI treatment - to ectopic rupture.
She hit her head, leaving her with epilepsy, and during her fight to survive even "saw God" who told her she "wasn't ready". Despite the ordeal she persisted with fertility treatment - nearly losing her hand to septicaemia during a preparatory op, she claims. She met her now fiancé Sampson Thomas, 32, two weeks before an embryo transfer using donor sperm - and instead of "running away" he helped her.
