Statistics state that one in six couples experience fertility issues, yet it is still a taboo subject.

This is something Verity Craig wants to combat with her book 'IVF and Infertility, Our Journey: A True Story Of One Couple's Struggle Against The Odds'.

"We had six traumatic years, and whenever I was on the train home or after treatments I started to write a blog, just so I could keep a note of things and then my husband and I could look through and see what was happening," Verity said.

"We came to realise that there were no books on the market, other than medical ones, about what it was like to go through IVF, from the POV of someone going through it."

The book is the journey of Verity and her husband through 12 cycles of IVF.

She said: "I had miscarriages and a ruptured ectopic pregnancy which was life threatening but after the last cycle I fell pregnant with my daughter Daisy-May.

"I want to also give people going through it hope that you can get pregnant.
