Campaign Story

Hello! My name is Mariah, and my husband is Ryley. We are high school sweethearts who have been together for about 7 years. A few years ago, I was diagnosed by my doctor with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and my husband was diagnosed with Severe Male Factor Infertility (low sperm count). After figuring out our diagnoses, my husband and I were told by several doctors that IVF was our only chance of ever conceiving. Hearing those words was extremely difficult for us because we had always talked about how excited we were to start our family together. However, we weren’t going to let our diagnoses get in the way of our dream. In October of 2021, my husband and I took out a loan to start the IVF process. Since then, we have done three frozen embryo transfers. The first transfer ended in a miscarriage. Then our second and third transfer completely failed. Unfortunately, we have exhausted all of our loan money and are unable to transfer the remaining embryos we have left.

With having to do IVF to conceive our miracle baby, my husband and I are seeking assistance with the financial burden IVF can bring. Even the smallest donation would mean the word to us as we continue our IVF journey with frozen embryo transfer number four.
