Celebrity Infertility: Saira Khan
Saira Khan is a British woman who has become an increasingly popular face on television shows in the UK. She first gained attention as a runner-up in the British version of the reality TV show The Apprentice. Since that time she has made a number of different television appearances. However what she has gained the most press for recently is her struggle with infertility and the recent birth of her son.
Khan and her husband
had trouble conceiving child due to a condition called endometriosis that is a common cause of infertility. They tried for two years to have a child before the consulted a fertility specialist and found out what the problem was. At that time, they began discussing their options and were weighing the pros and cons of IVF vs. adoption to start their family.
What is often the case with couples is that they will begin looking at infertility treatments like IVF only to end up surprisingly getting pregnant without assistance. That was the case for Khan who now has a healthy three month old boy. However, she says that not a day goes by when she doesn't think about her struggles with infertility. She says it makes her appreciate her child that much more.
