‘I thought I’d never be a mum’: Woman has miracle baby after docs SUPERGLUE embryo in womb

Meet Ethan Riley, the miracle baby who survived because doctors SUPERGLUED him into his mothers womb, writes Lucy Laing in the Sunday People .

His arrival thanks to a remarkable new fertility treatment ended 15 years of agony for proud parents Emma, 43, and Paul, 42.

The couple had been trying for a family since 1999, five years after their wedding, but Emma repeatedly failed to become pregnant.

Then in December 2012 they decided to try IVF treatment . Emmas eggs were collected and fertilised with her husbands sperm at CARE Fertility in Milton Keynes, Bucks.

And before transplanting an embryo into her womb, doctors suggested they try a radical new technique called Embryoglue to help ensure Emma had a successful full term.

The procedure, introduced only 18 months ago, increases the ability of an implanted embryo to stick to the side of a mothers womb by first dipping it into a gluey substance.

Emma, who works for a building firm, said: After several years of trying for a baby nothing had happened.

Happy family: Emma and Paul Riley were overjoyed when Ethan arrived, healthy

We had numerous tests but the doctors couldnt find anything wrong with either of us. We kept on trying for years but had no luck. The tests kept coming back negative.

Doctors monitored my monthly cycles and I had fertility drugs pumped into me. Nothing seemed to help. It was so upsetting. Then I was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome, which made it even more difficult for me to fall pregnant.
