Women's fertility can start to decline from the age of 35, the NHS reports, so Becky, 29, wanted to make sure she had children before things got even harder.
On social media, the mother of two shared both her IVF journeys with her two children, Noah and Adaline.
But it seemed like some meanies thought her decision was wrong because she was single.
In a clip on TikTok, Becky revealed some of the rude questions she's been asked because of her pregnancies.

She said she is often asked “where is the father?” and let people know that there isn't one. and she is single during pregnancy.
Becky has used two donors for her children, but knows no personal information about them.
But the mother is often asked what happens next soil she will do it alone – completely ignoring the fact that she has countless friends and family to help and support her.
“How can you be so selfish and deprive your child of a father?” was another comment Becky had to endure.
She hit back and said, “Who said he's going to get robbed?”
Others argue that the toddlers will definitely grow up with daddy issues if they don't have a father figure in their lives.
“He'll have so many male figures in his life,” Becky clapped back, “Poppy, grandfather and uncles….”
Becky also knew her child would be surrounded by lots of love even if he didn't have a father, after some trolls asked how she could do this to her child.
“Not that it's any of your business…,” she captioned the post.
The videos posted to her TikTok account @Beckybell quickly went viral as many people followed her IVF journey.
People were quick to praise the mom in the comments and told her to ignore the haters.
One person wrote: “I know so many people who had abusive fathers and would have been better off without them.”
What is IVF?
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a technique available to help people with fertility problems have a child.
In IVF, an egg is removed from the woman's ovaries and fertilized with sperm in a laboratory.
The egg, which is called an embryo after fertilization, is then placed back into the woman's uterus to grow and develop.
It can be performed with your eggs and your partner's sperm, or with eggs and sperm from donors.
Another commented: “Best choice ever.”
“Good job girl, you got this!!!!” wrote a third.
Meanwhile, a fourth said: “What you are doing takes courage! You are an amazing woman! And that child will grow up knowing his mother is so strong and independent!”
“Man, people can be rude. You understand that,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “Firstly congratulations, secondly it's nobody's business. Your baby will be so loved.”
