November 2017

Molly arrived safely into the outside world on the morning of Sunday 3rd September 2017 weighing 8lb 8oz of gorgeousness. We have a number of people at Manchester Fertility to thank - over the course of our treatment we met most of the team! We had two rounds of IUI and three cycles of IVF. The IVF cycles resulted in the creation of six viable embryos. Our wonderful daughter started life as our final "last chance" frozen embryo..... the one that finally stuck! Throughout our journey to parenthood, even though some days were a little tough, we remained positive and never gave up hope. The team at Manchester Fertility were there to support us each step of the way. Special thanks to Dr Peter Kerecsenyi, Dr Raj Mathur and Dr Anamika Rao for their expert knowledge, advice, support... and their surgical skills! Special thanks also to the scientific geniuses in the lab that helped to create and looked after our precious embryos and helped them into and out of the freezer! Thank you for the smiles, hugs and compassion from all of the nurses midwives that were with us throughout various tests and procedures, particularly Sam Potts and Debbie who was lovely to chat to throughout the taking of many blood samples. Oh and Rita was also consistently lovely who always seemed to be on reception, we're not sure she ever went home! In short, thank you to anybody that was involved in our journey, whether we met you face-to-face or not. Molly is our little scientific miracle and an absolute delight. She's absolutely perfect and couldn't be more loved by us or our family and friends. With love and thanks x
