After living in New York and London for several years with her English husband, Eileen and Andy were ready to start a family. They had a beautiful pregnancy with their son in the UK but a challenging delivery, with baby being admitted to the NICU and facing challenges with breastfeeding [Episode 13].


But nothing quite prepared them for the long fertility storm they would face in their quest to have one more baby to complete their family. After suffering 7 miscarriages divided between two countries, Eileen and Andy pursued IVF in Switzerland. They had only one opportunity - only one round of IVF, that resulted in only one embryo that survived the thaw.... [Episode 14] "Don't give up. It all works out in the end. If it hasn't worked out, then it's not the end yet."
