Campaign Story

My name is Delisha, I am 26 years old soon to be 27, I was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome aka (PCOS), when I was 16 years old. I had to have a semi-emergency right ovarian cystectomy to remove a 12cm cyst that was torsed (twisted) on my ovary, while the surgeon was removing the cyst my right ovary started to bleed and they couldn’t get it stopped which led to the removal of my right ovary and tube. it was a very hard thing to hear that I might possibly never be able to have a child. Approximately 2 years later I had to have yet another surgery because I had a large cyst on my left ovary, during recovery from this surgery I had multiple gynecological surgeons tell me I had (PCOS) and Endometriosis that the only way I would be able to conceive is with some type of fertility therapy, I didn’t want to believe them it was just so hard to accept, they thought it was in my interest because I was so young to keep trying for a year after the last surgery before I start medication, but still nothing happened. I decided to try for a couple years without meds to see if I could conceive naturally. I decided to get a second opinion in 2020 to see if someone else has something to say about my situation. The new gynecologist I went to wanted to do a diagnostic laparoscopy and he found that my peritoneum had collapsed but he was able to fix it during surgery, and remove the endo, we then decided to try Clomid (Clomiphene citrate) we done 5 rounds with no success, he then decided to refer me to a fertility specialist. I have been going there and it has been determined that our last chance is IVF so my fiancé and I decided if we can raise the money that is what we want to do. we never ask for anything like this, but we are desperate to have a family together, anything is appreciated every little bit helps, so anyone who can or cannot donate we appreciate you, if you can’t afford to donate anything we just ask you pray for us through all this, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
