Campaign Story

 

The infertility struggle is real. Hi, we are Aubrey and Chris. After finally finding my soul mate in my late 20s, infertility has been a struggle for us. It was love at first sight when I met my husband Chris. Our lives had previous been intertwined in the past and many years later. Single again. I saw him playing pool at the bar that I was at and I told the bartender. Ummm, he is mine. I knew from the moment I laid eyes on him that he would be my soul mate. I waited for him to come up to me. So, he finally did. He said Hi and sparks were flying. I told him from the start I wanted a family, cause what girl doesnโ€™t and I come from a very family oriented culture. We dated for 6 years before we finally said I do. We are now happily married for two years and are dog parents to our fur babies Gigi and Neko. We have traveled out of the country and accomplished many of our goals. We both are self-employed and own our very own businesses. Myself, (Aubrey) I love to play volleyball, work in my garden with all my plants, I love doing family activities and just being outdoors and experiencing new things. (Chris) I love to surf, I like to stay busy making or creating wood projects, I love the outdoors and experiencing new things on our bucket list. We both have wonderful supportive families and friends, but still were dreaming of our perfect family picture. Something still was missing. We started trying to convince within the first year of dating and we both knew this is what we wanted. It has now been 9 years later and we are still missing a child of our own. We have been working with a fertility clinic for the past 2 years and went through many monitoring, a procedure between and then finally a successful frozen embryo transfer. All out of pocket cost. Which we made it to 9 weeks pregnant before we found out it was an abnormal pregnancy and no fetal pole heartbeat developed. Also finding out during pregnancy I needed a rhogam shot prior to having an embryo transfer due to my blood type. Which could of possibly prevented a miscarriage. The miscarriage was a real struggle for us to overcome. We went through many days and nights crying and asking God for help. I (Aubrey) even had to put my business on hold during these 5 months due to my job was to demanding on my body, which put us in a financial bind. We are two healthy individuals that have tried to get pregnant naturally, with fertility medications, acupuncture, Chinese medicine, meditation, diet changes and help of fertility specialist with no access to this date. We are now in the process of finding a donor egg and going through second round of IVF, due to my AMH levels are very low and the remainder of the eggs I have left are not developing. We are a strong couple that has not given up on our family dream and looking for financial help to make our dream come true. If this second round of IVF does not work. Then the next step is adoption. Whatever it takes to find our missing piece. Thank you for hearing our story and helping our frozen embryo transfer process.
