A couple say they are thrilled to have welcomed twins into the world just days before Christmas. Teacher, Charlotte Beardsley, 36, gave birth to her identical twin boys, Alexander and Sebastian, on December 23, after help from Care Fertility Nottingham.
Charlotte and her husband, Luke, who are from Derby, had been trying to conceive for a few years and self referred to the GP who recommended fertility treatment. Charlotte said: "As we are based in Derby we knew Nottingham Care had a really good reputation for success rates.
"We sort of chose them as our main provider, we worked with Nottingham but stayed with Derby, as for all the procedures and the medical side as its the same doctors as Nottingham, so they did the egg retrieval and the implantation, whereas Derby did the appointments. It turns out that I had diminished ovarian reserve and my husband had sperm problems.
