Despite seeing doctors, the reason for Carolyn’s infertility was never diagnosed.

“I did have supportive friends but thank goodness, they had never been through what I went through and so I felt more alone because they had children. I am an auntie but that was hard too.

“I had a miscarriage at the same time as my sister was pregnant. I was happy for my sister but it was so difficult. I felt so isolated. Every time I saw close friends or relatives who were pregnant or had babies, I felt myself being distant from them.”

Caroline also appeared on the UK ITV program, Miscarriage: Our Hidden Loss.
