The Englishwoman Louise Warnford always looked with envy at the happy mothers who, as it seemed to her, surrounded her everywhere. She also wanted to become a mother, but nature strangely resisted this.
Realizing that she could not get pregnant in the usual way, Louise decided on in vitro fertilization. However, the embryo did not take root. Then Louise repeated this procedure seventeen more times.
Doctors tried to persuade the woman to give up senseless attempts, explained that the peculiarity of her body is that its defenses, for which natural killer cells (NK cells) are responsible, are incredibly active. And they regard each new embryo as a threat, and therefore they attack and destroy it, not allowing it to take root and develop.
But the woman did not want to listen to anything and demanded that the doctors do what they are supposed to do. She spent about 80 thousand pounds (more than six million rubles) on all attempts, and was not going to stop or give up. Warnford defeated nature in her forty-seventh year of life. She became pregnant and although she was constantly under the supervision of doctors and was afraid of every new day that could bring her a new disappointment, the fetus continued to develop.
I had a caesarean at 37 weeks, — says Louise, — because during the next examination, problems with the body were found. Neither the doctors nor I could take any chances and now my little William was born. I am sure he will be an outstanding person, because his birth was suffered by me, and this is worth something.
The woman never tires of thanking Dr. Hassan Shehat, the head and founder of the Center for Reproductive Immunology and Pregnancy, who supported her and accompanied her throughout the entire period.
I want to say to all the women who have despaired and decided to give up trying to become a mother. Be confident in your abilities and you will succeed,» says Louise. — It is only thanks to my perseverance that I now live in a full-fledged family and every time I look into my son’s eyes, I do not get tired of rejoicing that I did not give up and insisted on my own. Believe me, it’s worth it!
