Hi, we are Cole and Bryleigh!

We got married in January 2024 and have been walking through a hard but hope-filled journey toward starting a family.

Cole was born with Klinefelter’s Syndrome, a genetic condition that affects male fertility. While natural conception isn’t possible for us, there’s a chance that sperm may still be present — just not able to travel on its own. That’s why we’re pursuing a specialized procedure called Micro-TESE, where doctors surgically search and extract any viable sperm directly from tissue. It’s our only shot at trying for a biological child through IVF.

On top of this, Bryleigh has faced her own challenges with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), which makes ovulation unpredictable and carrying a pregnancy more difficult. These are conditions she has battled for years, and now that we’re ready to build our family, they’re part of the mountain we’re climbing together.

If no viable sperm are found during the Micro-TESE procedure, we already have a donor selected so we can move forward with the IVF process. While this journey may take different shapes, we are committed to becoming parents with hope and faith guiding every step.

This process is emotionally heavy, time-sensitive, and incredibly expensive — and unfortunately, our insurance doesn’t cover any of it. We’ve already invested over $12,000 of our own money into diagnostic testing, specialist appointments, and early steps of this process. We’ve got skin in the game — and we’re all in. If you feel led to give or even share our story, it would mean the world to us.
