Journey to baby Larmour

Hi, I’m Megan please read and donate if you are able

Me (27) and my husband Ryan (28) have been together since we were 16 in 2013, we got married in November 2023 and we have been trying for a baby for the last 3.5 years nearly 4 and unfortunately we have been told that we have a 0.5% chance of conceiving naturally and we need medical help in order to start our family by undergoing ICSI treatment. ICSI is a more invasive form of your normal IVF treatment as it is involves injecting the sperm into the egg in order to fertilise it to create an embryo.

In the last two years we have had two failed ICSI transfers and we have now looked at our options for going private and we have got our prices and without the consultation and prior testing again as we will need up-to-date tests carried out again and medication that I am going to need our initial starting price has been given as £15,800. Consultation and prior testing cost £565 and the medication can then vary in price - anywhere from £300 to £2,100.

Our journey to having a baby is a little different and not as smooth as we would have hoped, we have had to go along to route of IVF, we have not been able to enjoy the last few years of our 20's fully as it’s all we can think about and stopped us from being able to go abroad on multiple holidays and even our honeymoon - as we can’t leave the country so that we are available for appointments- and now we need to save our money for treatment. It's taken all the excitement, fun and privacy of trying for a baby.

It's taken over our life, it’s stopped us planning anything & living our life to the fullest as we are trying to get what some people take for granted, it’s given us darkness, it’s going to take all our savings & it's been all we've concentrated on.

We know it’s a lot to ask, but we are just asking for any help at all that anyone can afford to help us on our journey it would be greatly appreciated if you can’t donate please share our story

We are asking for £10,000 in order to help us towards our journey

If we can help at least one other couple open up on their journey then we be over the moon as this subject is not spoken about enough and people don’t know how to respond or to even take the news when they find out
