I’ve deleted and rewrote this so many times, we were on a high and now a low. I can’t believe I’m even writing this.

So here it goes.

We were on such a high. After our first round of IVF, we finally got the news we had been praying for. We were pregnant. ❤️

We heard your heartbeat for the first time, and in that moment, our whole world changed. We had so much love for someone we hadn’t even met yet. We started imagining our future, making plans and believing that after everything, we were finally going to have our little miracle.

Then came our next scan.

The words I never thought we would hear… there was no longer a heartbeat.

We had a missed miscarriage.

I had never even heard those words before that day. I never knew you could hear your baby’s heartbeat, fall completely in love, start believing everything was going to be okay… and then have that taken away.

That day, our world fell apart.

There’s no easy way to explain the pain of losing a baby you had already imagined your whole life with. We went from the happiest we had ever been to a heartbreak, I wouldn’t wish on anyone.

Now, somehow, we have to find the strength to try again.

We desperately want to continue our IVF journey, but the reality is that another round is incredibly expensive. So, with very heavy hearts, we’ve set up a GoFundMe to help us try for the chance of becoming parents again.

Please don’t feel like you have to donate. Honestly, just sharing this, supporting us or sending us a message means more than you’ll ever know.

But if you can spare anything at all, no matter how small, we would be unbelievably grateful. Every little bit could help us get one step closer to our dream. ❤️

We lost our little heartbeat, but we haven’t lost hope.
