Campaign Story

Our names are Bryan and Ashley Kinney. Bryan is a 35 year old former bachelor with no biological children and I am soon to be 38 with two kids from a previous marriage. We have been married about 4 years now and due to my age, have been trying to conceive since soon after our wedding. About a year after we got married we went back to the doctor to discuss fertility and through testing we discovered that my left fallopian tube was completely scarred shut. It is the belief of the doctors and specialist that this damage most likely caused by the infidelity of my first husband. The doctor removed the tube and surrounding endometriosis with hopes that we naturally conceive soon after. Another year went by and no Kinney baby so we consulted with a fertility specialist. We tried three IUI cycles with no success, although all of our labs looked promising. It is the belief of the fertility doctor that the remaining fallopian tube likely has damage and is unable to deliver an egg to the uterus. Because we want to try to avoid creating excess embryos we have decided to try mid stim ivf but there is a higher likelihood that we will need two cycles to achieve a healthy pregnancy. We have had lots of friends and family inquire about donating so we have created this fundraiser to create a platform for their generosity. Thank you for reading!
