Scots mum who suffered 12 miscarriages 'last hope' to have second son through IVF treatment
14.05.2023 - 09:33 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A Scots mum who has endured countless miscarriages on her journey to have children says she has one last chance at giving her son a sibling after running low on embryos.
Pamela MacKenzie, 43, and her husband Ian, from Edinburgh, finally had four-year-old Patrick after 18 years of trying for a baby. Pamela suffered 12 miscarriages and an ectopic pregnancy – when a fertilised egg implants itself outside the womb, usually in the fallopian tubes, and cannot safely develop – along the way.
However, the pair say Patrick "desperately" wants a little brother or sister and, after two failed IVF treatments on the NHS, they have travelled to Prague and Spain for private treatment. With just two embryos now left in Spain, Edinburgh Live reports that they are down to their last chance.
The mum said: "We tried for a baby for 18 years but I had 12 miscarriages and an ectopic pregnancy. In 2018, we were told by the NHS that we didn't qualify for any more help. After two sessions, we couldn't get anymore, the funding just isn't there, but we were treated well by the NHS.
"We had to find somewhere private so we went to Prague and used donor embryo transfer. Fortunately, we got our son Patrick through that. We've been trying for a sibling for him for about three years now. He's being assessed for ASD and the one thing he really wants is a brother or sister."
Pamela, who volunteers at the National Infertility Charity, underwent two cycles of IVF in Spain to no success. She has launched a fundraiser in the hope of covering the costs needed to undergo the final rounds of treatment with her last embryos.
She added: "That time I got pregnant but each time since I've had a miscarriage. I've got two embryos left in Spain but no funds to keep
