Campaign Story

Hello, I’m Jessica. Something like this is not easy for me to do. I have a hard time asking for help.

To tell you a little about myself, my partner and I started this journey to parenthood 4 years ago. That when I was diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome). Basically, this means there are cysts on my ovaries affect my ability to make children. I also run the risk of diabetes, high blood pressure and other health risk. Some of my side affects are weight gain, irregular periods, and unwanted hair growth. It also creates major hormone imbalance, causing my body to produce to much insulin which in turn preventing ovaries from ovulating (or release eggs).

We were able to make it through 4 IUIs and on the last IUI I became pregnant. We were so overjoyed but unfortunately at 7 and half weeks into my pregnancy, we lost our baby. This was tough time for us and grieving deeply for our loss. After some time, I decided to start up IUI treatments again to which I had two canceled cycles. My doctor suggested our best option now was to do IVF treatments.

This process has been very difficult for the both of us and it has been very difficult to stay positive. Unfortunately, IVF is the best route to parenthood for us and can be very expensive. This is where I am asking for your help and your support.

Thank you for taking the time to read about our journey and all the continued love and support.
