THRILLED Kerry Horan is a mum at last after medics broke new ground by treating her infertility - with VIAGRA (the erectile dysfunction pill).
Specialists prescribed the male sex pill after heartbroken Kerry, 34, had a miscarriage and three rounds of IVF failed.
Kerry is believed to be the first success with the method after having 6lb 11oz Grace in December.
The mum and hubby David, 33, started trying for a family after they wed in 2002. She fell pregnant in 2005, but miscarried at 12 weeks.
It showed blood flow to her womb was poor, meaning the lining was too thin for an embryo to implant successfully.
Director Dr George Ndukwe recommended Viagra - a blood flow booster. He said: "It can improve the lining, but can be dangerous and must be taken under supervision."
Kerry said: "I was shocked when they mentioned it, but willing to try anything. Minutes after taking it my body went pink and my face bright red.
"I took Viagra for nine days and it wasn't a pleasant experience."
A scan showed Kerry's womb wall had thickened enough for doctors to implant IVF embryos. Kerry fell pregnant two weeks later.
Teacher Kerry, of Huddersfield, West Yorks, said: "When we saw the baby's heartbeat on a scan we couldn't stop crying. When I finally held Grace it was the most emotional experience. Thanks to Viagra I'm a mother at last!"
