Helen Dalglish, from Glasgow’s Dennistoun, endured a staggering 21 attempts to get pregnant - costing almost £100,000 - before welcoming daughter Daisy Grace. The 54-year-old told the Record of her joy after years of heartache and how she never gave up on her dream of becoming a mother.“I was looking down and the bump was getting bigger and I thought ‘am I dreaming?’Helen moved to Cyprus in her 20s and starting trying for a baby with her then husband when she was 28.
The couple underwent four intrauterine insemination procedures, where sperm is placed directly into the womb, without success before moving on to IVF. “Every one that fails you’re absolutely devastated. It’s like a death. I would get down for a couple of weeks but then I would pick myself up and say ‘right, if you want this baby, get your act together’.Helen grew concerned that every time medics tried to transfer her embryos back into her womb the procedure was unbearably painful, as thought medics were “hitting a wall”.
She said: “I decided I wasn’t going to do any more and tried to get over it but it kept coming back up. That’s when I found Dunya.” “My mum said I should do another. Before dad passed away he said to her ‘what can I send you from heaven?’ and she said ‘please send her a baby’.The couple’s first attempt failed when they carried out genetic testing on their embryos but they were stunned to conceive on their second attempt with the clinic.
