Hi everyone,

We’re Jessica and Christian, and we’re opening our hearts as we share our journey toward becoming parents.

For years, we’ve dreamed of growing our family. In 2021, we learned that conceiving would be more difficult due to PCOS, and from that moment on, our lives became a cycle of hope, appointments, and waiting. We’ve endured over 50 ultrasounds, endless tests, and three medicated cycles (two with Clomid and one with Letrozole), all while holding onto the belief that maybe this time would be different.

In August, I underwent a diagnostic laparoscopy and hysteroscopy, where doctors discovered that my uterus was shaped like a saddle and that I had stage 1–2 endometriosis. Hearing those words was heartbreaking, but we were grateful that the issues could be corrected. Still, endometriosis can return, and even after surgery, our baby didn’t come.

In October, we tried an IUI with Letrozole, with a strong 24mm follicle, and poured every ounce of hope we had into that cycle. When it didn’t work, the disappointment was overwhelming—but we kept going.

More recently, I had an SIS and SHG, which confirmed that the surgery was successful and that everything looks as it should. We’re now working with a new fertility clinic and an incredible team of doctors who truly see us, support us, and believe in our dream. They estimate about a 70% success rate with IVF, giving us a renewed sense of hope we’ve held onto for so long.

IVF is our best chance to finally bring our baby into this world. While our insurance does help, we must first meet a $4,250 deductible, which is the amount we are responsible for paying out of pocket before insurance covers the rest of the treatment cycle. Most of this cost goes toward required IVF medications, estimated between $3,641 and $4,250.

We’ve set our GoFundMe goal at $4,500 to help cover medications, GoFundMe fees, and travel expenses. We travel two hours each way for frequent appointments, and these costs add up quickly.

Every donation helps ease the financial weight of this journey and allows us to move forward without sacrificing our basic needs like rent, insurance, and transportation. More than anything, your support gives us room to focus on hope instead of stress.

Our baby is already so deeply wanted, loved beyond words, and prayed for every single day. Asking for help is incredibly hard, but we are choosing hope and community as we take this step.

Thank you for believing in us, for supporting us, and for helping us take one step closer to the family we’ve been dreaming of for so long. ❤️
