A couple who both have fertility issues and spent years trying to have a baby have finally welcomed twins.
Diego Fernandez, 36, and his wife Mareike, 32, started trying to become parents as early as 2014 - 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 suffered from endometriosis, adenomyosis and a lower-than-average egg reserve.
