A STOURPORT mum and dad who believe their experience of fertility treatment can give hope to other couples trying to conceive helped celebrate the 18th anniversary of the organisation that assisted them.
Rebecca and Christopher Williams attended a party marking the Midland Fertility Services occasion at Cooper and Jordan C of E School in Aldridge with their three-year-old son, Nathan.
He was born in August, 2002 after a single cycle of IVF treatment at MFS, which the couple embarked on after tests on both of them revealed the need for fertility treatment.
The treatment involved a single healthy sperm being injected into the cellular structure of the egg, using a glass needle a tenth of the width of a human hair.
Medical director of MFS, Dr Gillian Lockwood, said staff at the Aldridge-based clinic were "delighted" to have helped so many couples to start and complete their families over the past 18 years.
