Katie Price has confessed her fears that she might be going through the menopause as she opened up about new health symptoms. 

The former glamour model, 46, has been very open about her hopes of welcoming a sixth child and has even explored IVF options. 

However the star has now admitted she is beginning to experience signs of the menopause as she revealed she is having trouble sleeping and experiencing cold sweats. 

Speaking to her sister Sophie on her podcast The Katie Price Show she explained: ‘I’m not sleeping at night and I’m normally a really good sleeper, so something’s going on.

‘So I’m just going to get my blood test because maybe I’m having an early menopause, I don’t know how it all works, but I’m still having my periods.’ 

Katie added that her bed was ‘wet with cold sweat’ in the run-up to her periods, so she wondered if she was ‘going through the change’.

Last month the star was left gutted after being informed that she was heading towards the menopause as she tried for IVF with former fiancé Carl Woods on her documentary, Making Babies.

The Channel 4 show, which was filmed in 2023 before she split with Carl, documents her and Carl’s fertility treatment journey as they planned to have another baby. 

The former couple had been trying to fall pregnant for three years, however, they were dealt a crushing blow when a fertility expert told a then 45-year-old Katie that she only had ‘a couple of awake eggs’ and that her body was showing signs of menopause.

Breaking the news to the pair during the first episode, gynecologist Carole Gilling-Smith informed them that they had ‘less than one percent’ of falling pregnant using Katie’s own eggs, adding that it she was ‘unlikely’ to produce a ‘healthy egg’. 

And while the situation was a crushing blow to the then couple, Katie was then seen panicking that Carl would dump her amid the fact that she was facing the menopause ‘within a year or two’ and might not be able to give him a child naturally. 

The mother-of-five exclaimed: ‘He probably won’t want to be with me now anyway.’

Speaking to the camera, she added: ‘But I now am paranoid that he won’t want to be with me because he’ll want a kid, and he’d think I’m so much grief that he’d go and get someone younger and set up a family. That’s what I think.’

As Carl slammed her negativity as ‘insanity’, Katie went on to say how ‘paranoid’ she was, remarking: ‘The door is closed on me!’

Fertility expert Carole then later admitted that the news was a ‘big blow’ for Katie (now 46) as she told how ‘the first sign of ageing is coming from her ovaries’.

She also shared that when women get news such as Katie’s, they often get the feeling that they are no longer attractive. 

Despite being given such a low chance of producing a healthy egg, a determined Katie later informed Carole that she wanted to go ahead with the egg retrieval.

The documentary then sees Katie undergo a procedure to retrieve her egg, with the star later delighted when two are collected.

And while at the time the couple were excited at the prospect of having a baby, they went on to split mid-filming, while the IVF was ultimately unsuccessful.

Katie is already a proud mum to son Harvey, 22, with former footballer Dwight York, son Junior, 19, daughter Princess, 17, with her first husband Peter Andre, and son Jett, 10, and daughter Bunny, nine, with ex-husband Kieran Hayler.

Yet it seems the star, who is currently in a relationship with JJ Slater is still hoping to have another child.  

According to Closer, a source said in October: ‘Katie and JJ met with IVF clinic experts who have told her she does have a chance to have children – despite her lower-grade eggs and age.

‘She has exhausted all IVF attempts and channels in the UK, and is hoping this is the start to expanding her family.’
