Woman Had 17 Cycles Of IVF Over 14 Years Before Finally Becoming A Mother Of Four At 42

Joanne Scollard-Kerr, 43, from Telford, Shropshire, started trying for a baby with her first husband when she was 26 but it wasn't until she was 40 that she finally became mother to Pippa (left), now three, thanks to IVF. After further rounds of IVF with her new fiance Neil she was then delighted - and slightly shocked - to conceive triplets Theo, Drew and Spencer (pictured) now nine months.
