Emma Kavanagh and Seán Gillivan from Drogheda have long suspected that parenthood could be difficult, and their fears were confirmed when Emma received an infertility diagnosis. The couple, reflecting on their decade together, noted the absence of pregnancy scares, making their situation feel even more unusual. In February 2023, they sought advice from a fertility specialist, marking the beginning of their journey to understand and confront their challenges in starting a family.
I always knew I'd have trouble trying to get pregnant. Of course, it is not something that was ever put to me in a formal manner until Seán and I went to see a fertility specialist back in February 2023.
In our 10 years of being together, we had never once experienced a pregnancy scare - that's quite a rarity for any couple.
