Baby Downing IVF Fund

Hello! For everyone that doesn't know me, I am Jessie and I have known Renee since 5th grade (2005!) and wouldn't consider her anything less than a "long lost sister".

On 02/09/2012 Renee started dating the love of her life, Cory.

Their story doesn't end there though, Cory proposed to Renee on her Birthday in 2017.

They then had their beautiful dream wedding on 05/31/2019.

That's where it all began. Infertility.

1 in 4 women are diagnosed with Infertility.

Renee has a diagnosis of PCOS, Abundance of eggs and anovulation (her body isn't ovulating properly each month).

Renee & Cory had their first appointment at the Fertility Clinic 05/20/2020 which included tons of bloodwork, ultrasounds, genetic testing, Estradiol (hormone), Letrozole (hormone), hormones, & HCG "Trigger Shot".

They had their First Unsuccessful Round of IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) - 09/18/2020.

Second Unsuccessful Round of IUI - 11/30/2020.

As a family, they decided to take a break from treatment and try unmedicated, natural cycles once the second IUI failed.

They decided to reach out to a different Clinic for a second opinion on 08/16/2021 who prescribed Renee Metformin (hormone) to help reduce insulin levels and promote natural ovulation.

Unfortunately their next step is IVF, which is close to $10,000.

Cory & Renee are two of the most hardworking and family oriented people I know, however Infertility doesn't "pick sides" and is so unfair.

Renee has dreamed and talked about being a mom ever since we were little, and I know they would be the best parents and cherish every second. They are both so selfless and are always there the minute you need a friend to talk to or a shoulder to cry on. They deserve this more than anything.

Thank you so much for your time and please don't hesitate to share, Baby Downing needs our help!
