our first picture together. our first holiday. the wedding. the first trip to my country, ecuador. the mountain we had dreamed of climbing. my husband seb and i imagine what our family portrait would be like,

though we didn't think how much that path would cost us. that is why i took my camera and decided to tell the story. seven years ago, we found out that we are infertile. the doctors said it was my hormones, his slow sperm and now my age. so we got on the rollercoaster of in vitro fertilisation.

this is our fourth attempt.

now my eggs and my husband's sperm are going to meet on a lab plate. against all odds, my baby won't be the result of a passionate night. medical report: 32 eggs, 26 fertilised. in the end, six embryos. of those six, only one healthy to transfer to my uterus. a possible baby? i imagine my belly growing, sharing my body with them, my space, my life, to discover everything again together, us three. to finally complain about the sleepless nights. this is happening to us and one

in every six couples, and it is a taboo in many places. my friend laura also went through years of fertility treatments. and then she surprised me with some news.

crossing fingers. so we've pulled out one of your embryos and it's emerged fully intact, it is starting to re—expand again which means the embryo is alive and it needs to keep doing

that over the next few days and then we will implant that into the endometrium. so fingers crossed for you both. it's ok? si — i will show you when we are doing the procedure. i will give you some information. speaks indistinctly. 0k? 0k.

ok, so it is there where it should be.

day nine after the transfer, it's almost time for the pregnancy test. a home pregnancy test, and it makes me panic. in all this time of trying and trying, i have had so many negative results that i have developed a sort of phobia to the test. but here we go again.

another negative. another lost embryo. and my womb, empty. baby cries mother coos and shushes

natalie was born in argentina where, by law, each patient can access up to three free fertility treatments per year. in my country, ecuador, there is not such coverage. and in the united kingdom, where i live, a lottery decides how many chances you get. i got one.

when paying for it is the only option you have, the high costs make it impossible for many.

during this journey i have learned so many new words.

follicles, embryo culture, vitrification. i have gone through so many moods. i have fallen down and i got back again. i don't know how long i will keep trying. sometimes i think there are other ways to be a mother. even maybe not being one at all. i don't know how this story will end. but i have learned that infertility is just a chapter of my life that left its mark on me but doesn't define me.

hello there. for most of us it's been another very cold start this morning. widespread frost across eastern areas but less cold across the west — temperatures above freezing, and we're starting to see a thaw of the snow and the ice. and that's the theme to come for this upcoming week. it will be turning less cold or even milderfor some of us through the week. mostly dry thanks to high pressure, but we will have some issues with mist and fog, particularly at night, where winds will be lighter under this area of high pressure across england and wales. but breezier conditions across scotland and northern ireland through today and that's bringing the mild air in here, that rapid snow and ice thaw too, and outbreaks of rain with a few weak weather fronts. so a breezy, cloudy mild night to come here. but for england and wales, lighter winds, variable cloud, a little bit of mist and fog, and again it will be another cold one. not as cold as it has been but again a touch of frost here. very different to how it's going to be across scotland and northern ireland. and that rapid thaw of snow and ice could lead to some

localised flooding as we head on into monday here. further rain falling on that snow and ice melt as well. that weather front weakening as it pushes into the area of high pressure. england and wales, i think monday mostly dry, variable cloud, a bit of sunshine and turning less cold. 5 to 7 celsius here, but double figures across scotland and northern ireland. that weather front through monday night fizzles out as it moves into the area of high pressure across england and wales. it leaves a legacy of cloud. a milder theme for most away from the very far south and south—east, which could see the last cold night here, but double figure values, as you can see, for glasgow and for belfast, so a lot milder here. tuesday, variable cloud, breezier conditions in scotland and northern ireland. i think it will be mostly dry apart from a bit of drizzle across western hills. could see a little bit of mist and fog across england and wales where we'll have lighter winds thanks to that area of high pressure, but a milder day, less cold for all. 8 to 13 celsius from south to north across the uk. as we head through wednesday,

thursday, friday, that area of high pressure continues to bring similar conditions. these weather fronts always grazing the far north—west, where it will always be a bit breezier and it will always stay milder here as well, as you can see, from the darker orange colours. further south, we're closer to the seasonal norm, but still less cold than what we've had of late. so there's the outlook, then. a lot of fine weather around, bit of mist and fog in england and wales. mildest for the north and the west where there'll be a little bit of rain at times. take care. live from london. this is bbc news the number of people killed

in the los angeles wildfires rises to 16, with firefighters battling to contain the two biggest blazes. an aerial attack on the enormous palisades fire, which is menacing brentwood, one of la's most exclusive neighbourhoods. in the uk — a police officer dies on a motorway — struck by a lorry as she investigates a crash. detectives issue an appeal for witnesses. and nobel peace prize winner, malala yousafzai, urges muslim hello, i'm lauren taylor. the wildfires emergency that's engulfed parts of los angeles shows no sign of letting up this hour. while firefighers have made progress in some areas, the winds that have been a huge factor in spreading the flames, remain strong. four fires are blazing

and 16 people are confirmed to have been killed in the fires,
