A couple who both have fertility issues and spent a decade trying to have kids have finally welcomed - twins. Diego Fernandez and his wife Mareike started trying to become parents as early as 2011 - but struggled to get pregnant.
After years of trying the pair eventually sought the help of Bristol Centre for Reproductive Medicine (BCRM) in 2016. Investigations revealed that both partners were struggling with fertility issues.
Diego was affected by a late operation for undescended testes, and Mareike suffering from endometriosis, adenomyosis and a lower-than-average egg reserve. Despite the difficulties though the pair never gave up, even after severe disruptions from COVID and moving both to Spain and Switzerland.
