A woman who suffered 18 miscarriages after her body rejected her pregnancies has revealed her joy at finally achieving her dream of becoming a mother at 48. .
.
According to DailyMail, Louise Warneford and her husband, Mark, 55, from Swindon, endured countless rounds of IVF – costing around £80,000 – over 16 years before a specialist finally found the reason behind her miscarriages. .
.
After coming close to giving up in 2010, the couple agreed to have one final try after a doctor told them a donor embryo might be successful, and Louise gave birth to a healthy baby boy, William, at 37 weeks. .
.
The breakthrough came in 2015 – when doctors identified that she had ‘killer cells’ which meant her own body was destroying her embryos. .
.
The couple first met in 1999 and Louise. However, due to Mark’s vasectomy from a previous relationship, so they resorted to sperm insemination from a donor to make Louise’s dream of having a baby a reality. .
.
She says: ‘I fell pregnant a number of times with the insemination, but every single time I ended up losing the baby around the 14-week scan mark as they couldn’t find the heartbeat."
.
.
Louise is now sharing her story to provide help for anyone facing a similar situation to her and to raise discussion about miscarriages. Louise said: ‘It was the toughest time in my life, but it’s so worth it for our dream baby. .
.
We want people to know that it is doable and despite my multiple miscarriages and rounds of IVF, our dream baby was achievable.
