In February 2013, shortly after her son Jack’s second birthday, Tracy and her husband Wayne decided to try for another baby. After trying for a long time, Tracy fell pregnant and was delighted.
However, she started to feel very unwell seven weeks into the pregnancy and knew it was not a good sign. She had started to bleed and realised that she was losing their baby, describing this as ‘the worst feeling ever’.
Tracy was referred for tests, which showed that she had a large cyst on her left ovary. When the cyst was being removed, it was discovered that Tracy had endometriosis.
Tracy was told that she would have to be referred to the National Maternity Hospital because she wanted more children and that she would need to see an Endometriosis Specialist.
It was then that Tracy met Professor Mary Wingfield in the National Maternity Hospital and her journey started from there. While under Professor Wingfield’s care, she had a second cyst and as much endometriosis as could be found removed. Tracy was advised to try to conceive for a further six months and, if she did not fall pregnant, some further tests would be done.
Tracy was also carrying excess weight and was advised that she would have to lose at least two stone, as obesity can have an effect on fertility. Tracy was upset and worried that she would not have any more children as she had never considered this possibility before.
Tracy said that she finally realised that worrying and crying were not going to help and she decided to take action. She joined Unislim and lost 4 and a half stone!
However, by the next appointment in six months’ time, she was still not pregnant.
Over time, Tracy had several appointments with Professor Wingfield and some of the other doctors at the clinic. They did some ovulation tests and it turned out that she was not ovulating when she was supposed to be.
Unfortunately, it was found that her endometriosis was quite severe and was affecting her fertility, despite the weight loss. Professor Wingfield told Tracy that the only other option was IVF.
