A woman has revealed she was going through the menopause and on HRT when she decided to get pregnant again. Lynn Beanland, 53, from Rhyl, Denbighshire, is now 23 weeks pregnant with her second child after years of heartbreak, determination and hope. Lynn had eight miscarriages over 10 years with her factory worker husband, Martin, also 53, who she met at 16 and married three years later in 1991.

But now her dream has finally been fulfilled after discovering a clinic in Cyprus called Miracle IVF, offering IVF for women up to 53 years old. She said: 'I'm about to embark on a journey most women my age wouldn't dream of. 'But this baby is the fulfillment of a dream I've carried in my heart for years.'.

A life in the Army meant frequent relocations and adventures, and the couple always assumed children would come 'eventually.'. However, career priorities including Lynn setting up her business, Rebirth Garden, specializing in skincare and floatation therapy, as well as life's other twists, meant starting a family kept getting delayed.

Lynn Beanland, 53, from Rhyl, Denbighshire, revealed she was going through the menopause and on HRT when she decided to get pregnant again. It wasn't until 2001, when Lynn was 30, that she stopped taking contraception, expecting to conceive quickly. When that didn't happen, the couple sought medical advice. Despite no apparent issues, they struggled for years to conceive.
