Walking out of the GP surgery, Leila Martyn was left devastated. Aged 19, she was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and was told she would have difficulty having children.
She was studying at university at the time so wasn't planning on having a family any time soon, but having the choice taken from her 'felt like the rug being pulled from under your feet'. Armed with no other information about her condition apart from the fertility warning, she stopped using condoms.
But just three months later, she fell pregnant. Up until recently, Leila has felt immense shame and embarrassment over not using contraception and having her teen pregnancy terminated.
