During the trial, a biopsy was conducted, revealing a hidden culprit—Diana had endometritis, a uterine infection preventing embryos from implanting correctly. Armed with this diagnosis, she embarked on a course of antibiotics, and within 12 months, their long-awaited miracle happened. Their son, Freddie, was born, becoming their “rainbow baby.” The couple’s journey was fraught with emotional highs and lows. Diana experienced five heartbreaking losses, including an ectopic pregnancy that led to the removal of her right fallopian tube. The toll on her emotional well-being was immense, and she began exploring surrogacy and adoption as alternatives.

Their turning point came when they sought help from Tommy’s, the baby loss charity, and Diana became part of a trial to identify the cause of her recurrent miscarriages. The discovery of endometritis provided a glimmer of hope, and a course of antibiotics became the key to unlocking her fertility. While the road to parenthood was still challenging, Diana and Mike received the joyous news of her pregnancy just as they were about to embark on NHS IVF. Little Freddie defied the odds, and each scan brought relief and disbelief.

Diana’s induction and emergency c-section, accompanied by concerns and anxiety, culminated in the birth of their precious son.

Now, Diana wants to share her story to remove the stigma surrounding baby loss and infertility. She encourages open conversations, emphasizing the importance of support and hope for women facing similar struggles. In gratitude to Tommy’s for their assistance, Diana is actively fundraising to raise awareness and support for the charity. Her journey, marked by resilience and the ultimate triumph of motherhood, stands as a testament to the power of hope and medical advancements in overcoming fertility challenges.
