A MUM has told how she welcomed triplets “born apart” with three IVF cycles after spending three years trying to conceive.

For a long time, Stephanie Brar, from Birmingham, was unable to look at family photos that friends posted online and would make up excuses to get out of attending baby showers and children’s birthday parties.

Seeing other people's dreams of holding a baby was simply too painful while she and husband Sherry struggled to have a bundle of joy of their own.

The constant disappointment took its toll on the 34-year-old as the dream of motherhood seemed to slip away.

The couple tried everything - from strict diets and supplements to fertility drugs - but every month ended in heartbreak.

“When someone asked me what day it was, I was more likely to say, ‘cycle day 12’ than ‘Tuesday’ Stephanie said.

“People who knew that we were struggling to conceive told us to ‘just relax and it will happen. This made me feel like it was my fault, that I was the reason it wasn’t working.

“Sherry longed to be a father so he could have that father/son bond that he'd missed out on.
