Support IVF Journey for Jocelynn & Mitchell
Donation protected
We are Jocelynn and Mitchell, a committed couple with a shared dream of expanding our family. Over the past two years, we have been on a challenging yet hopeful journey of trying to conceive—first on our own, then with medical support. Today, we reach out to our community of friends, family, and kind-hearted supporters to help us take the next crucial step in our journey: in vitro fertilization (IVF).
So far throughout our journey we have been “TTC” (trying to conceive) since 2023. Jocelynn’s Polycystic Ovary Syndrome makes natural conception more difficult, despite our best efforts. Under the care of fertility specialists, we have undergone blood work, ultrasounds, and diagnostic tests. Through every appointment, test result, and hopeful moment, we have gained knowledge, resilience, and a deep appreciation for the science and care behind fertility treatments.
After careful evaluation of Jocelynn’s hormone levels, ovarian function, and overall reproductive health, our specialist recommended IVF as the most effective path forward. IVF offers us the highest chance of a successful pregnancy given our medical circumstances and access to advanced techniques (egg retrieval, fertilization in controlled settings, embryo transfer).
IVF is a life-changing opportunity but comes with significant costs. Total estimated expenses for our September 2025 IVF cycle will be about $36,000. Our insurance company will not cover the procedures or medications for this journey. We kindly invite you to support us in one or more of the following ways:
Monetary contributions: Any amount helps us offset treatment costs.
Sharing our story: Spreading the word on social media or among your networks.
Emotional support: Messages of encouragement and hope mean the world to us.
We recognize how fortunate we are to have such a caring community. Your generosity—whether through donations, kind words, or simply sharing our journey—fuels our hope and determination. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for standing with us as we embark on this next chapter. Together, we believe that 2025-2026 can be the year our dreams of parenthood come true.
