"To me, they're all my children in that lab"

Anne Diamond

Available for over a year

Sarah Walker was joined by four women, all of which have first hand experience of the IVF process. "When you start trying for a baby you think it's going to happen naturally but each month comes and you're not pregnant so you go to the doctor and get some tests done. "Every month we were repeatedly unsuccessful but deep down I knew something wasn't right and that we'd be unsuccessful and end up on this journey so we had to really push for every appointment with the doctor. "To me, they're all my children in that lab. When it doesn't work, it'd lost five babies, effectively."
