It helped me to become a mother
KERRIE Suarez’s job as a nursery nurse served as a constant reminder of what she so dearly wanted.
But she was unable to have a baby because she suffered from endometriosis, which saw scar tissue build up in her fallopian tubes and stopped her eggs from being released.
Mrs Suarez, 3 , who lives in Cheadle, Manchester, with her husband, Francisco, also 3 , tried fertility treatment. But after three IVF rounds on the NHS with fresh embryos, she still was not pregnant.
For their fourth attempt the couple decided to go private. They opted for a ‘frozen cycle’ after doctors suggested the womb lining was more receptive to frozen embryos.
Mrs Suarez waited for two months before an embryo was implanted and then finally found she was pregnant. She had a 6lb 12oz boy Emilio, who is now ten months. ‘I still find myself staring at him in wonder,’ she said.
