Campaign Story

Hello. My name is Rashaan. Everybody calls me Diamondz. I suffer from fibroid and endometriosis. I had never known this for many years until I reached the age of 33. I was in a relationship at the time of finding this out and my now ex-boyfriend and I wanted to have a baby together. In January of 2019, I had a myomectomy where my OB-GYN removed the fibroid from the outside of my uterus so that I would be able to conceive. 4 months after having the surgery, sure enough, I got pregnant with my first baby. I had no idea I was pregnant though and by the time I found out, I was having complications. What made me decide to take a pregnancy test was because the night before I found out I was pregnant, I was having really bad pain in my abdomen to where I couldn’t even sit up in a chair because it hurt so bad and a gush of blood had come out of me but I had just gotten off my menstrual like 2-3 days before. The next day after experiencing bleeding and pain, the pain and bleeding was gone and something just told me to take a pregnancy test. I took 2 and both came back positive. Both lines were dark. So I went to the emergency room and explained everything and they thought I was having a miscarriage because when they did a vaginally ultrasound, they couldn’t see a baby. They thought either I miscarried, it was ectopic, or I was just too early to see the baby. Plus, my hCG levels were rising but they weren’t doubling like they were supposed to and my progesterone was low so they put me on progesterone to insert vaginally. Long story short, it turned out I was super early in my pregnant because about a week later, they finally saw the sac and my baby sitting right there. 🥹 I was so thrilled and overwhelmed with joy because after so many years of helping everyone else raise their children, I was finally going to be a Mommy. My due date was 02-16-2021. There were many times where I would just keep bleeding. Not heavily but my 1st trimester was rough. Sadly, before entering my 2nd trimester, I ended up having a miscarriage. Saddest day of my life. Once I went to the doctor and they did an ultrasound and my baby was gone. All they saw was blood flow, my whole world ended. I wanted to kill myself. I couldn’t figure out what I had done wrong. In these past 4 years, I have tried to conceive numerous times with no luck. My now Husband and I just got married August 22, 2024. We have a 5 year old son. He’s not my biological Son but I love him as if he were mine. I still get jealous though seeing other women around me with their baby and my Husband wants to have a daughter. I want to be able to give him the daughter he desires and I want to fulfill my desire of being a Mommy. I want to be able to experience what it feels like to be pregnant and give birth and see what my baby would look like. 😢 It doesn’t matter to me if I have a boy or girl. I just want the opportunity to be a Mother to a healthy bundle of joy. I only have a medicade and medicade doesn’t cover fertility treatment. I had another surgery in September of 2023 where my OB-GYN removed fibroid from inside my uterus. Still no luck conceiving. I’m 38 now and worried because my biological clock is ticking. I’m hoping this fundraiser will help me raise enough money to be able to get fertility treatment and God will bless me and my Husband with a sibling for our Son. Anything helps and thank you all in advance! Blessings to the rest of you ladies/couples out there trying to conceive as well. Let’s keep the Faith that it WILL happen for us!
