Campaign Story

Hi, we’re Brianna and Jon — and we’re on a journey to grow our family. Becoming parents has always been our dream, but after years of trying, fertility treatments, and heartbreaking losses, we’ve come to a place where we need to ask for help.

We’ve been together since 2018 and married since 2020. For over three years, we’ve been actively trying to conceive. I (Brianna) haven’t been on birth control in more than seven years, and despite years of trying naturally, we weren’t able to get pregnant. In 2022, I was diagnosed with low AMH, a marker for diminished ovarian reserve. From that moment on, we knew we were in a race against time.

We turned to fertility treatments and underwent eight IUI cycles. In April of 2023, we finally got our positive test — and then, we heard the heartbeat. For a short time, everything felt perfect. But at 9 weeks, our world came crashing down. A missed miscarriage shattered our hearts. We’ve also experienced a chemical pregnancy and countless dashed hopes in the months that followed.

Through it all, my husband Jon has been my rock. He’s a pharmacist of ten years, endlessly dedicated and compassionate — both in his work and in our home. He works incredibly hard to support us while still managing student loan debt and dealing with insurance that unfortunately offers zero fertility coverage. We’ve paid out-of-pocket for every treatment, appointment, and test. Like many families, life continues to throw unexpected expenses our way that take away from our savings — a new roof, heat pump/AC unit and water heater needing replaced— all while we try to fund our dream of becoming parents.

After a year of treatment, we’ve taken a short break to regroup emotionally and financially. We now have our first IVF consultation scheduled with CNY Fertility and are filled with cautious hope. IVF is our next best chance — and maybe our only chance — at bringing Baby Terry home.

We are humbly asking for help to make this dream a reality. Funds raised will go directly toward IVF treatment, medications, travel, and any related medical expenses. Every donation, share, and kind word brings us one step closer to holding our baby in our arms.

From the bottom of our hearts — thank you for supporting us. It means more than we can ever express.

With love,
Brianna & Jon Terry
