I had my first son sixteen years ago, and I had always dreamed of having a second child as a solo mum. After researching and looking at different clinics, I found Manchester Fertility and never looked back.

From my first appointment, I felt so well supported and was always informed about my treatment. There was no waiting list for appointments or treatment.
Initially, I decided to try IUI using donor sperm, and that was unsuccessful. I felt that the clinic was very supportive in helping me choose my next step. I had IVF, and fortunately, it worked the first time. David was born on June 30th, 2019. He is such a blessing, and I am so thankful to everyone at the clinic.
As a solo mum, I was really well cared for, and I still cannot believe that David is here! His big brother is very happy too.
