IVF for Kaitlynn and Justice

So me and Justice are generally pretty private people. We’ve been silent about our current struggles until now because we’ve been pretty upset, and we knew that there would be so many questions, and we didn’t have the answers because we were both asking the same questions ourselves.

What feels like my entire life I’ve always wanted to be a mother it was just never the right time. But for the first time in my life, our life, everything felt perfect. We were financially stable, our relationship is the best it has ever been, we had finally made it on our own. The only thing that could’ve made it even better would be a baby. We’ve been together for 9 years now, and about 2 years ago we both made the decision to start trying for a baby.

We did everything right. No drinking, eating healthy, our bodies are our temples. Checked for ovulation days. But each month came and went with no success. With every negative test, our hearts kept breaking over and over again. After about a year we started getting worried, me blaming myself and justice blaming himself. We finally went and got the referral to the fertility doctor, took the tests and waited. We continued to stay positive thinking maybe, just maybe it’s because it hasn’t been the right timing. Then we got the worst news you could imagine, it was like a blow to the stomach how much it hurt. The chances of us conceiving naturally are so low it will take a miracle. And don’t get me wrong, we believe in miracles but my biological clock is ticking and I may be young but I don’t have a lot of time left.

This past year has been a struggle mentally and emotionally, not only because of the pandemic, but because of our own personal issues. But no matter what he’s my rock, and I’m his. We’ve remained positive throughout the whole process, as hard as it has been. And if anything, I can honestly say that the love that we’ve had for each other has only grown so much more and has made our relationship so much stronger.

The odds of IVF being successful are pretty high right now and is our best option. The only issue is that the cost is pretty high. We’ve applied for the government assistance but that will only cover half with $10,000. We will still need to come up with $10,000 on our own. With the cost of all of these tests that we’ve been taking in the meantime, it’s been over $1000, money has been tight and we haven’t been able to save as much as we would’ve liked to. So right now we are reaching out to our family and friends, and asking for help with paying for our treatment. Anything helps even if it’s $1, it’s $1 more than we started with and we would honestly appreciate any help that you have to offer us. Please feel free to share this with your friends as well, as any help counts. And we both want to thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for listening to our story ❤️
