Campaign Story

Brett and I got married during the pandemic in July of 2020. With both of us working in health care, we thought going through the pandemic was going to be the most emotional, draining, and sole crushing experience we wound have to go through. While the pandemic has affected us, our fertility journey has taken a harder toll on us. We have been trying to conceive for 2 years now. We have seeked help from my OBGYN, reproductive medicine specialist doctors, medications(3 cycles) , IUI procedures ( 3 cycles), and lifestyle adjustments without success. Then we were told our next step was 2nd opinions, laptosocpic exploratory surgery, or IVF all of which are more costly than the options we have tried. I decided to do the surgery which found multiple spots of endo which the surgeon addressed. Then we were sent to IFI to get a consult for IVF after no success post surgery. We did our first round of IVF in Septmeber with 2 embroyos transfered then 2 weeks later a negative pregnancy test. Our insurance only covers $25,000 life time for fertility which we maxed out with our first IVF cycle ( while still oweing 5,000 that wasn’t covered). We want to do a second round of IVF we talk with our MDs but now will be 100% out of pocket. We are reaching out for support and help with our journey to have a child. Thank you for considering helping us out.
