Support Chase and Misty with their IVF Journey

For the past 3 years, Chase and I have been trying to have a baby. Our journey on this path has been devastating with many heart breaks. Our first pregnancy ended after our second doctor’s appointment, I started bleeding and miscarried our baby. We named the baby Kindred. When we went for our ultrasound for our second pregnancy, we saw on the screen an empty gestational sac, a blighted ovum. No baby. Our hearts, already so tender, were broken. Our last pregnancy ended in an early miscarriage at home. At this time, our OB GYN referred us to a fertility specialist. With consultation and support from our wonderful doctors at the Fertility Center, we have tried several different treatments for fertility but have yet to bring home a baby. We recently found out we are good candidates for IVF. After many talks and prayers, we have decided to start this new journey. IVF must be paid in full before the appointment can be scheduled. My health insurance with the school system pays for a portion of the testing and blood work to determine the cause of infertility, my diagnosis is “unexplained infertility” and I will be covered when I am pregnant. My insurance does not pay for any fertility treatments and we have been paying for treatments out of pocket. With the costs of fertility treatments over the previous 3 years, we don't have the finances to move forward with IVF. Chase and I decided to be courageous with our journey. We are sharing our story with you and asking if you can support us in this next step.

The cost for us for one round of IVF is $10,900 with medicine around $5,000. Thank you for taking the time to read about our journey. If you would like to talk to us or ask questions, we welcome you to reach out. Please feel free to share our story with your friends and family.
