Trinny, 53, almost broke down as she recalled the tough time.
The presenter said she decided she wanted to have a baby when she was hosting fashion shows like What Not To Wear with Susannah Constantine, 55.
She said: "Around 34 I started that journey of wanting to have a baby.
"I took a long time to realise I was ready to be a mum, and then you think it would be simple."

Trinny said she struggled to conceive and underwent a number of tests to check her fertility.
She said: "I found out I had a bad case of infertility."
Trinny and her then husband Johnny Elichaoff - who died in 2014 - then tried IVF but it was a tough journey.
"The second time I did it was successful and then I lost it quite late," she said.

"And then it happened again and I lost it. I had a few times of feeling pregnant and then not being pregnant.
"I had never given up but never thought it was going to happen."
They then tried Artificial insemination (IUI) but Trinny wasn't holding out any hope.
She said: "And then I had a period two and a half weeks later and I thought I'd lost it again."

But they then went to visit the doctor who could hear a baby's heartbeat and said she was probably pregnant with twins and had lost one.
"I heard the heartbeat and then went every week to have a scan," she added.
Trinny also spoke about her former husband's death. They were separated for three years before he died and she admits it was tough on both Lyla.
"When he died what happens is that Lyla wants to know where I am 24/7. She just wants that connection because of the unexpected death."
