Campaign Story

Most of you know me! I’m Amanda and married to my love Joe. We’ve been married for 6 wonderful years and have a 3 yr old little boy named Jackson and a 4 yr old 4-legged baby, Herschel. Joe and I began our journey for babies 5 years ago. I couldn’t understand why I wasn’t getting pregnant like a lot of other ladies do and I was having irregular periods. I consulted with my OB-GYN (who is amazing by the way) and we started doing tests to see if there was an issue. Oddly enough everything came back normal! I was put on fertility medications to stimulate ovulation to help me get pregnant, but we still didn’t! One last ditch effort was made in the form of a laparoscopic surgery to physical check everything and to make sure that nothing was blocked or abnormal. All of this was over 1.5 years and I was on the verge of being referred to a fertility specialist when BAM! I got pregnant. How awesome is that, right?! Fast forward to our little boy being 1 and we decide to start trying again just because you just don’t know what or how long it will take….. well he’s 3 and we are still trying. We are seeing a specialist and have attempted IUI twice and both times have failed. He has suggested that we pursue IVF since in reality it’s basically an unexplained infertility. Everything works, but it just isn’t happening! So this is where you guys come in. Joe and I are not getting any younger and my 36th birthday is here. I am looking for help and yes, the amount for the fundraiser is what I was quote to help make a baby. Crazy right?! It’s insane but if this is what it will take then we will try it, we just need your help. We would love for Jackson to have a sibling and this is the route we would love to pursue first. Help us make a baby! Thanks so much!
