Alexandra Bánfi meets Natalie and Nicola Fraser-Edwards who spent £23,000 on fertility treatments to create six embryos using donor sperm. The couple used one of these embryos and last August, Natalie gave birth to their son, Jude. But now the couple have been told that their sperm donor has withdrawn his consent, meaning they can no longer use any of the remaining embryos.
