Anne – Interview 17
Anne had secondary infertility, and had difficulties when she started to try and conceive when her daughter was aged 3 ‘.
Anne did not think about another child immediately after her daughter was born, but when her daughter was three and a half she and her partner started trying for another baby. Nothing happened, and after a while she went to see her doctor who did some tests. They did not show anything wrong but as she had been trying for over eighteen months, she was referred to a fertility clinic. However, when she got to the clinic her partner was not keen to give his details, and so treatment could not progress. After two years, she did get pregnant naturally but miscarried at nine weeks and then had another miscarriage a year later. But finally after four years of trying she found out she had successfully conceived and was expecting her second child at the time of the interview.
