Campaign Story

✨ Hi there, and thank you for visiting my page!

My name is Lea, and I’m one of the 10% of women who live with PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome). When I was first diagnosed, I feared my dream of becoming a mother might never happen. I come from a very large family — my father is one of ten — so motherhood has always been something I’ve longed for.

After six years of trying to conceive and experiencing three heartbreaking miscarriages, I was finally blessed with my daughter through IVF and the grace of God. She is truly the greatest gift of my life. IVF is not an easy journey, but I knew I would do it all again if it meant the chance to grow my family. Thankfully, I still have two embryos, and my dream is to bring one more child into this world. Last October, after a year of testing, I learned of yet another challenge: adenomyosis. It makes pregnancy even more difficult, and while IVF still gives me a chance, doctors have also told me that the condition will only worsen — with a hysterectomy as the final solution. So here I am, preparing for one last round of IVF before I face that path.

🌸 Through all of this, I’ve tried to focus on the brighter side. Life has a way of raining hardest on those who deserve sunshine, but I hold on to hope, one serenity prayer at a time. Sharing my journey hasn’t been easy — I’ve always been the type to keep my struggles private — but I’ve learned that it’s okay to ask for help, and it’s okay to lean on community.

I am endlessly grateful for the supportive people in my life, and for every person who takes the time to read my story. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being part of this journey with me. 💕

(A FUN GAME!) in the comments section, Comment “Boy” or “girl” at the end of the fundraiser my office will choose the embryo with the most votes 🙂 

For me, I just want a healthy pregnancy,baby, and delivery! I’d love the gender to be a fun suprise since I have a girl embryo and a boy embryo! I’m so very excited! Thank you all for participating!
