She was left heartbroken in September when she was told the treatment had not been successful but the pair vowed to again.
After undergoing a gruelling 10 days of hormone injections, Rhian remained positive when she was told her second round had been more successful.
Despite being told there was only a two percent chance of an egg being fertilised, one egg did just that.
She had a two-week wait to find out if she was pregnant but - just a week before Christmas - her hopes were dashed when the test came back negative.

Rhian, of Manchester, said: “After getting so far on our second round it was really heartbreaking to find out it hadn’t worked. It broke me.”

“It ruined Christmas for us both and it has been really difficult to deal with - especially for me having all the hormones injected and placing all my hopes on one egg."

“Infertility is something that isn't really spoken about, and is something men and women shouldn't be ashamed of."
