Rose & Philippe's Journey 💙

After more than three years of trying to conceive, Rose and Philippe were faced with unexplained infertility and months of heartbreak with no clear answers.

When they came to King’s Fertility, everything changed.

From their first IVF cycle in July 2025, they were supported every step of the way with carefully tailored treatment and close monitoring. At egg collection, a good number of eggs were retrieved, resulting in several of healthy embryos.

Their first embryo transfer took place on 17th September, a date that will forever hold special meaning. Due to the lucky socks, a week later, for the very first time, they saw two lines on a pregnancy test. 

Now, they are counting down the days until they meet their baby girl, due on 5th June.

“We can’t thank the team at King’s Fertility enough. Their kindness, care, and support made our dream possible.” 💙
