Campaign Story

My husband and I have been together for 5 years and married for almost 2. From the very beginning, I knew that starting a family might be difficult for me because I was diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis.

One of the most difficult moments of my journey came during a routine ultrasound, when the technician suddenly began taking images very quickly. I was overcome with fear, and when I finally met with my doctor, I was told I had an 8cm endometrioma on my left ovary that needed immediate surgery. During the procedure, they also performed a laparoscopy to remove as much endometriosis as possible. It was one of the scariest experiences of my life, but I held onto hope that it would improve my chances of conceiving.

Unfortunately, that was over two years ago, and despite everything, pregnancy has not happened for us. I spent six months on Clomid with no success before being referred to a specialist. From there, we have tried five rounds of IUI. The first cycle resulted in two cysts and required us to wait before trying again, which only added to the emotional toll. It has often felt like one setback after another.

Through it all, my husband and I remain steadfast in our dream of becoming parents. We long for the chance to love and raise a child together, and despite the challenges, we are committed to continuing this journey with hope and faith.
