UK news: Woman, 23, facing menopause next year in 'race against the clock' after tragedy
Elsie Casey and her partner Callum Fishwick first went to the doctors in September 2021 after struggling to conceive naturally, LancsLive reports. They found that 24-year-old Callum has a low-sperm count, whilst 23-year-old Elsie has low Anti-Mullerian Hormone levels, meaning she will go into early menopause.
However, the Aldi worker's ovaries weren't responding to the medication, meaning she only ended up with one, good quality embryo. In the end, the embryo was implanted during the first round and first transfer of the IVF process, ending up being the couple's baby girl, Mollie. Elsie and Callum first visited the doctors about their concerns over fertility in September 2021 and had their first appointment with the fertility clinic in August 2022. This means it took the couple a year of tests and appointments before the process of IVF began.
"I rang the early pregnancy unit straight away and they got me in there to test to see if it was my waters that had gone, which they confirmed it was," Elsie continued. "But, they had no one to scan me that evening, so I had to stay in hospital by myself, my partner couldn't stay with me.
