Rebecca

Rebecca Barlow, a 34-year-old mother, and her husband began their journey to expand their family after the birth of their first son, Miles.

Despite a previous early miscarriage, they were optimistic. However, their hopes were sadly broken after another miscarriage in August and November 2023. Rebecca sensed something wasn't right, but their previously successful pregnancy made it challenging to seek assistance through the NHS. Funding for fertility treatment provided by the NHS varies throughout the UK, with extensive waiting lists in certain regions. Eligibility criteria may also vary significantly with strict criteria, posing challenges for patients such as Rebecca who seek help through this avenue.

In January 2023, Rebecca sought answers and support from Pall Mall Medical’s gynaecologist. "We first visited Mr Maiti for a scan, I didn't know much about Pall Mall before booking my appointment, but after looking online we decided to book in." Rebecca says. Despite her anxiety pre appointment, she said the warm atmosphere and friendly staff at Pall Mall Medical’s clinic in Manchester immediately eased her nerves.

Meeting Mr Maiti was a turning point, Rebecca continued: "I was extremely anxious but Mr Maiti instantly put me at ease.” With his expertise and compassionate approach, Mr Maiti provided us with reassurance and hope. Although Mr Maiti obviously couldn't make any promises, he always reassured me that there were plenty of options for us to explore/try.”

Despite facing another setback in March 2023, Rebecca and her husband persevered. With Mr Maiti's guidance, they conceived again in April 2023, leading to the birth of a healthy baby boy, Luca in December 2023. During the pregnancy, Mr Maiti consistently offered Rebecca ongoing support and care, which gave her peace of mind.

Rebecca expresses her gratitude: “After feeling so low and wondering if a second baby would happen for us, we feel really lucky to have had our baby boy, Luca, so quickly and we will be forever grateful to Mr Maiti. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Maiti and Pall Mall to anyone in a similar position - we didn’t know what to expect but couldn’t be happier with the service we received.” Rebecca recommends Mr Maiti and Pall Mall Medical to others facing similar challenges with fertility.

In the UK, fertility struggles affect a significant number of women, with statistics indicating that around 1 in 7 couples may experience difficulties conceiving. These challenges can be emotionally draining and deeply distressing for those families involved. Women struggling with infertility often find themselves on an emotional rollercoaster, between hope and hopelessness with each unsuccessful attempt to conceive or maintain a pregnancy full term. The societal pressure to start a family, paired with feelings of inadequacy can heighten the emotional toll of infertility, leading to feelings of isolation and anxiety for many women.
