Gill Porter spent more than 10 years and £25,000 trying for a baby and after her fourth private IVF treatment, she found out she was pregnant with twins 👨👩👧👦 taramillsTV IVF
Now 52, and the mother of three-year-olds Floyd and Jayla, life is very different.The journey to becoming a mum has been a long and expensive one.
"We had two private cycles here and we had to go to Glasgow for those as there wasn't anywhere that could do the whole process. Gill runs a family-friendly café in east Belfast, which is popular with parents on maternity leave and families with young children. The fact they were having twins was discovered at a 14-week scan and Gill said it was only then it started to sink in how close they had been to not becoming parents."And when we found out at 28 weeks that the twins were a boy and a girl, it really did feel that we'd hit the jackpot."
"It does feel unfair to me that people who can't afford it potentially lose out on becoming parents and the fact that it's so limited on the NHS is also something I question," she added."Once you're 40 that helps just seems to stop.
