Woman Takes Viagra To Get Pregnant
Woman Takes Viagra To Get Pregnant – A British woman got pregnant after doctors broke new ground by treating her infertility with Viagra.
Specialists prescribed Viagra after Kerry Horan, 34, had a miscarriage and three additional rounds of in vitro fertilization (IVF) failed.
Horan is believed to be the first successful case for the new fertility method and gave birth to a healthy baby daughter named Grace in December, 2009.
The new mother and her husband David Horan, 33, started trying for a family after they wed in 2002. She became pregnant in 2005, but miscarried at 12 weeks.
When IVF failed, Kerry Horan had a CT scan at a fertility clinic that showed blood flow to her womb was poor, meaning the lining was too thin for an embryo to implant successfully.
Director Dr. George Ndukwe then recommended Viagra as a blood flow booster, saying “It can improve the lining, but can be dangerous and must be taken under supervision.”
“I was shocked when they mentioned it, but willing to try anything,” Horan said. “Minutes after taking it my body went pink and my face bright red.”
“I took Viagra for nine days and it wasn’t a pleasant experience.”
A followup scan showed Horan’s womb wall had thickened enough for doctors to implant IVF embryos and she was confirmed pregnant two weeks later.
“When we saw the baby’s heartbeat on a scan we couldn’t stop crying,” Horan said. “When I finally held Grace it was the most emotional experience. Thanks to Viagra I’m a mother at last.”
