IVF for Baby Robles-Hernandez
Donation protected
Brian and I have been dreaming of starting our family for the past 4 years. We met in 2010, 3 months after I made the big move from NY to Fl. 2 years into our relationship we both agreed that we wanted to be parents, however our journey to conceive has been one heartache after heartache. Our world has been turned upside down emotionally with so much disappointment. As a woman you want to know why. Why can't I easily conceive like other woman do? Why can't I give a gift of a baby to Brian? Why hasn't God blessed me with a baby after so much heartbreak of losing my parents and only brother to cancer?
Ever since I was a little girl I dreamed of having a baby, I just knew I would be a mother someday and I still believe that. 4 years ago we seeked help from a fertility specialist. Immediately I thought, "whatever the issue, it'll be an easy fix" and I allowed myself to get excited again. I went to Lima, Peru 2 years ago twice, after so many Dr appointments and countless tests the Dr said IVF was a go. The excitement was short lived when the procedure failed. The second round IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) also failed. Physically and emotionally I needed a break. How can 2 healthy people not be able to conceive? I've asked countless times "God why can't I have a baby?" Dr says my age plays a factor and basically unexplained infertility. To our excitement we conceived, thanks to acupuncture. Sadly our angel who was to be born December 25, 2015 didn't make it past 7 weeks, one of my biggest heartbreaks. This year we gave it another try and were able to seek treatment with a new fertility clinic. You name it I have done it, I've remained positive, tried to eat as healthy as I could, exercise, ate and drank any natural remedy anyone recommended with so much faith and I prayed and prayed and prayed. With my Drs suggestion we did 2 rounds of IUI in June and July and sadly they both failed. My insurance provides NO coverage for infertility, this has all been out of pocket and it isn't cheap. Medication alone costs between $500-$5000. Countless blood withdrawals, and ultrasounds are an additional fee. I have 1 last chance, yes 1 to attempt IVF and here in the states a total cost is $27,000. Can I do countless IVF's? Absolutely but we simply can't afford several IVF's.
We had no intention of ever going public with our struggle to conceive, partially because I felt ashamed. However infertility affects every 1 in 8 women and I am one of them. Although it has been a very difficult decision to be open, we decided that maybe this could help make our biggest dream come true.
We are so grateful for all the support and prayers we have received by sharing our story about our struggle. Please join us in making Baby Robles-Hernandez a dream come true, either with prayers, positive thoughts or a small donation.
We thank you and appreciate you taking the time to read our story. With your help we hope to have a happily ever ending story.
