A Scots mum who has endured countless miscarriages on her journey to have children says she has one last chance at giving her son a sibling after running low on embryos.
Pamela MacKenzie, 43, and her husband Ian, from Edinburgh, finally had four-year-old Patrick after 18 years of trying for a baby. Pamela suffered 12 miscarriages and an ectopic pregnancy – when a fertilised egg implants itself outside the womb, usually in the fallopian tubes, and cannot safely develop – along the way.
However, the pair say Patrick "desperately" wants a little brother or sister and, after two failed IVF treatments on the NHS, they have travelled to Prague and Spain for private treatment. With just two embryos now left in Spain, Edinburgh Live reports that they are down to their last chance.
