Infertility is a very lonely journey, say parents Lucy and David — who had a baby girl after IVF

Lucy and David Boyd had their first child in November 2020. Getting pregnant with Will was not an issue, and although he was born at 32 weeks, the couple had no cause for concern about any future babies.
When their son was 18 months, like so many other Irish couples, their talk turned to trying for baby number two. “We were young, fit, healthy, and we thought ‘it will be fine’. Of course, the second time around, you expect it to happen again easily,” says 34-year-old Lucy.
