Time for your medicine, Mum!’ my boy Kishan, then 10, sweetly reminded me.
It was 2012, and after splitting with Kishan’s dad seven years earlier, my partner Andrew, then 34, and I wanted to expand our family.
Having suffered an ectopic pregnancy in 2011, which resulted in the removal of my left fallopian tube, doctors suggested I try IVF.
Sadly, the first round didn’t take and a natural pregnancy resulted in a miscarriage at five weeks.
Please let this one work, I thought, as I began injections ahead of my second embryo transfer.
