Whenever Niamh Holleran-McGing was going through IVF, and the embryo was about to be transferred into her uterus, she would look at the image on the scan and picture a child 10 years down the road.

“In that split second, everything goes through your mind — you have all these milestones hit with this little embryo,” says the author of the just-published book, The Journey To You — A Love Story Through Infertility.
