Kerry 34, was found to have a poor blood flow to the womb, meaning her lining was too thin to allow embryo implantation. This medical problem was discovered after Kerry’s miscarriage and three rounds of failed IVF. Dr George Ndukwe at the private CARE Nottingham fertility clinic advised her to take Viagra. “It can improve the lining, but can be dangerous and must be taken under supervision,” he said.
Mrs Horan said: “I was shocked when they mentioned it, but willing to try anything. Minutes after taking it my body went pink and my face bright red. I took Viagra for nine days and it wasn’t a pleasant experience.”
A scan taken following the nine days of treatment revealed a thickened uterine wall, capable of holding an implanted embryo. Kerry Horan fell pregnant two weeks later following an IVF and and gave birth to daughter Grace, weighing 6lb 11oz, in December.
Talking about her experience, Kerry Horan further said: “When we saw the baby’s heartbeat on a scan we couldn’t stop crying. When I finally held Grace it was the most emotional experience. Thanks to Viagra I’m a mother at last!”
