Jade’s story
I’m now entering my fourth year of trying to conceive. I’m 38 and since 2020 I have suffered two spontaneous pregnancies that ended in missed miscarriages, been diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve and raised killer cells, endured four rounds of IVF producing only one average quality embryo (still on ice) and am now possibly showing signs of premature menopause, which is scuppering my plan to try naturally with a super ovulation conception programme this year.
