When my dream seemed out of reach, I put my faith in pineapples, salty fries and a safety net. After suffering an early miscarriage, I’d had tests and we’d been put on the waiting list for IVF. Since then, I’d tried everything from changing my diet, to acupuncture and CBT therapy in the hope something would help. There, they told us about Access Fertility — a scheme that promised a refund if you weren’t successful after three fresh cycles of IVF. Now, all we could do was wait, and after two weeks, I woke early and took a pregnancy test.
