Overview
- Caroline Morgan, now 53 and living in Derby, says she had twins at 51 after paying £22,000 for private fertility treatment.
- She and her fiancé Richard chose a clinic in Palma, Mallorca, where doctors discovered she had endometriosis.
- The first three IVF rounds failed, two resulted in chemical pregnancies, and a fifth pregnancy ended in a miscarriage at six weeks.
- A sixth attempt led to a twin pregnancy, with a boy and a girl born at Royal Derby Hospital weighing 4.5lb and 4lb.
- She describes a difficult postpartum period with little nearby family help, leaned on retired nurse and midwife neighbours, and now hosts the Motherhood in Stereo podcast to share support and discuss IVF, birth trauma and menopause.
