56-year-old Neil Ward and his 46-year-old wife, Monique Ward, married since May 1985, always wanted to natural pregnancy (as opposed to artificial insemination) birth to a baby, but the efforts of half a year without any results, but added the number of sperm tests showed Mr. Ward scarce.

In 1986, the husband and wife with NHS (British National Health Insurance system) going straight through the catheter to inject sperm into the uterus, but the eight were tried failed.

They then realized that to rely on artificial insemination, but spent £ 12,000 in a total of three attempts, still no results. Four years later, they heard that a new artificial insemination technique called single-sperm injection (ICSI), then selling real estate to spend £ 5,000, the result is still failure.

Time to come in 2002, the couple carried out a consultation to an organization that, according to Ward wife’s age, need for donor eggs to conceive.

After two years of a long wait and search, they came to a hospital in Valencia, Spain, in 2008, will be donated eggs and sperm come (this is also its own DNA Mody?) Implanted in the womb Mrs. Ward, and then a months later, still failed. This time, they spent £ 17,000.

Ward did not despair of his wife determined to again 5 months later she was finally pregnant, or twins! Ward moved his wife and take their children burst into tears, they spent a life time to dream of a child, and now finally got his wish, those who are not worthy of a hard and spent a mention.

Neil Ward, 56, and his wife Monique Ward, 46, started their quest for a baby by trying to conceive naturally after they were married in May 1985. But after six months without success tests showed that Mr Ward had a low sperm count.

In 1986 they started a process on the NHS where sperm is put directly into the uterus through a catheter, but eight attempts later it had not worked.

They realised IVF was the best option and spent £12,000 on three fruitless attempts. Four years later they tried a different IVF technique, remortgaging their house to pay for four rounds with Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection at a cost of £5,000 a treatment but again all failed.

In 2002 they attended a consultation at the Midland Fertility Clinic in Aldridge, West Mids, where they were told Mrs Ward’s age meant they would need donor eggs.

There was a two year waiting list, so they started to look at other options and found the IVI Fertility Clinic in Valencia, Spain.

In November 2008, donor eggs and sperm were put directly into Mrs Ward’s uterus, but after a month it became clear it had not worked. It had cost, including travel and other expenses in the region of £17,000.

They decided to try once more and five months later the same treatment led to Mrs Ward becoming pregnant with twins.

Their sons, Benjamin and Walker, were born a month prematurely, delivered by Caesarean section at Stafford District Hospital on December 29 and have only just been allowed home.

Ben arrived first at 5.01am, weighing just four pounds, two ounces, and four minutes before brother Walker, who was five pounds, six ounces.

Despite the huge amount of money they have spent on IVF the couple, from Stafford, Staffs, said they had no regrets.

“When I held them for the first time my eyes just filled up with tears,” said Mrs Ward. “We have both wanted this for so long now it seemed unreal everything had finally come true for us.

“They’re our little miracles – both are perfectly healthy and neither of us can believe they are really here. We have been trying for a baby for what seems like a lifetime.

“Now we’re just looking forward to the next 25 years of happiness bringing them up.”
