IVF Hope: Help This Couple Become Moms

Hi friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,

We are Mari and Aryanna, a couple who has been together for a little over 5 years! Over the past 4 years, we’ve experienced heartbreaking losses that have made our journey to create a family much more difficult than we ever imagined.

In 2023, we found I (Aryanna) had PCOS, which would make it extremely hard to get pregnant, and being a same-sex couple complicated that a lot more. So, I had gastric bypass surgery to help increase our chances.

After that, we tried for almost two years to get pregnant with a donor. In November, we became pregnant and unfortunately miscarried our first child together in January.

Aryanna had a very traumatic miscarriage; which ended up being a lot emotionally; physically, and financially.

We started IVF after our miscarriage due to getting fertility coverage, but we had no idea how fast we would hit our lifetime maximum, which was nothing. We had ONE shot to have a success.

Unfortunately, our IVF transfer ended in a chemical miscarriage, which we are completely shattered over. Then when we went to do a second transfer, we found out we had some issues with my uterus which caused a cancelled transfer. Our transfers incurred a lot of financial loss; due to medications, check-up appointments; blood test.. just to end in a chemical loss and one cancelled transfer. We have 9 beautiful embryos, thankfully, but we are now fully out of pocket for this next transfer.

This is our dream to become moms, and we are hoping and praying we can have another shot at hopefully a successful transfer.

Our doctor feels really good that we should be successful with our next transfer.

We would be extremely grateful for any help, whether that would be sharing, liking, or donating even $1 towards our next transfer.

The reason we have the goal for $6,000 is because we hit our maximum lifetime after our egg retrieval, so we have two transfers we have to pay for, along with medications. This is extremely hard for us to ask for any help, but we are so grateful for any help.
