A couple who almost gave up hope of ever having a baby claim a £100 DIY fertility kit gave them the ‘miracle’ daughter they’d been longing for.
Nursery worker Kerry Carr, 29, and her husband Paul, 38, had tried for two-and-a-half years to conceive naturally.
Despite already having a son together, six-year-old Riley, Mrs Carr, from Runcorn, Cheshire, found it difficult to fall pregnant a second time.
Diagnosed with ‘unexplained infertility’ – where there is no obvious cause – it looked like the only option for the couple at this stage was artificial insemination.
IVF on the NHS was not an option for the couple as they already had a child together – and private treatment can cost in the region of £5,000.
But in the end, there was no need for expensive clinics and treatments.
A friend suggested they try The Stork Home Conception Device, a DIY fertility kit. While sceptical at first, the couple decided to give it a go.
To their amazement, Mrs Carr got pregnant straight away – after the first and only time they used the device. Their daughter, Keira May, was born in August this year.
‘Getting The Stork was the best £100 we’ve ever spent,’ Mr Carr told MailOnline.
‘I would recommend it to anyone who is trying for a baby, where there’s no obvious medical problem, before considering artificial insemination.
‘It’s certainly a lot cheaper than other options available.’
