Macie & Brandon’s IVF journey

Macie & Brandon’s IVF journey

Hi everyone! My name is Macie and my husband Brandon and I have been married since November 10, 2018. Brandon came into my life, unexpectedly, and changed everything for me in the absolute best way. I’m so thankful that he is who God picked for me to spend my life with. With that being said, I also could see a future for us with children and having little versions of us running around our farm. Dreams of teaching a little girl or boy to ride a horse, my soul horse Lady to be exact. Well, the years have come and gone and we have now been married for 6 years. We have tried so hard to make the dreams of a child a reality but keep coming up short.

We have been in the IVF process since April after finally finding a specialist that would listen and take the time. I had an egg retrieval in June, a hysteroscopy in August, and my first transfer in September, followed by another in November. Unfortunately both of those failed, and we are heartbroken. Our specialist told us it could take up to 4 transfers, so we want to exhaust all options to hopefully have a successful outcome.

I (macie) have progeny fertility coverage through my job, which I am SO thankful for, but unfortunately they will only cover two cycles. I have enough of my “smart cycle” left for one more retrieval. Everything after that- transfers, medications, etc. are out of pocket. I have been back and forth on creating a fundraiser, or trying to come up with a way to raise money to help with this. A transfer cycle is a little over $5000, and that does not cover medications.

If you are able, and willing, no amount is too small. I know times are tough right now. If you can’t, please just PRAY- please just pray for us. We need all of the prayers we can get.

Please be kind.

Children are a choice, but infertility is not.

*in the event our next transfers result in pregnancy, any money left will be paid forward to another family struggling with infertility*
