A lesbian couple quit takeaways and holidays to save £40k for fertility treatment - and are now expecting their fourth baby. Asti Jones, 31, and her partner, Lucy Earnshaw, 35, were both set on having children when they started dating in February 2017.
Asti had always dreamed of being a mum and wanted to carry all her babies - which suited Lucy who did not wish to be pregnant. The couple started intrauterine insemination (IUI) - a fertility treatment that involves inserting sperm into a woman's womb - in January 2018.
They chose a sperm donor from a clinic who matched up Asti’s appearance and after three attempts they were delighted when they fell pregnant. Their son Grayson, now four, was born on November 5 2018 and the pair waited six months before trying again for their second child.
