A mum who fell pregnant during her first round of IVF has spoken out against the "postcode lottery" system.
Laura Shaw, 37, from Bootle was trying to have a baby for two years the traditional way before she turned to her doctor for help. At the beginning of June the restaurant manager and her partner John Lawler went to the GP to find out why she couldn't fall pregnant.
Laura's GP booked in tests the same day and found there was no immediate reason for not being able to conceive and so she started her IVF journey. Following two weeks of injections she found out she was pregnant on July 17.
