FAITH and teamBABYramos : IVF fund

Donation protected



A little background on myself (Rebecca) and my husband Omar... We are high school sweethearts. We have been together for 15 years but we've been married for 7 years. In these 7 years of marriage, we have gone through so many procedures in hopes it would get us closer to our dream of becoming parents. In April 2010 I was diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome). Then in December 2010 I had my first laparoscopy which I found out I had endometriosis. September 2012 I had my 2nd laparoscopy. Yet all the pokes, medicines, 2 laparoscopy surgeries, acupuncture & 9 IUI (Intrauterine insemination) procedures and draining our bank account... STILL have not resulted in our baby Ramos. I (Rebecca) come from a big Catholic family and have endured way too many pregnancy announcements that one can imagine. I have four brothers and five sisters. I am the youngest of ten! ((Yes!! you read that correctly..10! :) As far as I know, none of my siblings have infertility issues. I guess God saved the BEST for last!
Omar comes from a family of five. (two sisters and two brothers) None of his siblings have infertility issues either.

Both of our families and our friends have been so supportive in these years we have struggled. We truly are blessed! Anyone who knows us personally can easily see the LOVE we have for children. We have so many nieces and nephews that we love with all our heart and we always pray God will bless us with our own child!

We have been seeing Dr. Cavallo since 2010 and have had excellent care from him and his awesome staff at PHA~Physicians HolisticHealth Alliance. We have been blessed to have them all so involved in getting us ONE STEP closer to our dream. We wanted to know in our hearts that we truly tried ALL things possible before considering alternative routes.Lifestyle changes/diets, metformin pills to help with my PCOS, acupuncture, vitamin supplements...YOU NAME IT, we have more than likely tried it.
We decided to take a leap of FAITH and go with our hearts desires in moving forward with our dream so Dr. Cavallo referred us to a RE (reproductive endocrinologist) to disucss IVF. (In vitro fertilization)

We had our first RE appointment on 8/7/13 in Fort Wayne, IN. Dr. Colver was amazing and we both had a great first impression.
The price of IVF is ridiculously expensive and we need help raising money since our insurance does not cover anything related to "infertility".

IVF is the path we choose because we truly have FAITH that God IS going to make the impossible POSSIBLE.

Infertility is an emotional rollercoaster & has tested our FAITH in all aspects. It truly takes a toll on you mentally, physically and emotionally! The day WHEN we get pregnant and experience a BFP (big fat positive) pregnancy test....that'll be a sight to see!
We hope you all continue to follow our journey as we continue praying that the donations keep coming in (Even if donations are as little as $5-$10) and getting us closer to our lifelong dream of becoming parents! There is no such thing as a "little donation" because it all adds up so quickly.

We hope to reach our goal so we can pursue all the costs that come along with IVF and move forward with the whole process.

Thank you for taking the time to read our summarized journey!

WE WILL BEAT INFERTILITY!!!

"Un poco sobre mi marido Omar y yo (Rebecca): Hemos sido novios desde la escuela secundaria. Hemos estado juntos por 15 anos aunque hemos estado casado por 7 anos. En estos 7 anos de ser casados, hemos tratado tantos tratamientos en el espero de que uno de los tratamientos nos ayudaria en cumplir nuestro sueno de ser padres. En Abril 2010 me diagnosticaron con PCOS (el síndrome de ovario poliquístico). Entonces en Diciembre 2010 tuve my primer laparoscopia donde descubri que yo tenia endometriosis. Septiembre 2012, tuve mi segunda laparoscopia. Aun con todas los toques, medecinas, 2 serugias laparoscopias, acupuntura y 9 IUI (inseminacion intrauterina) procedimientos y nuestra cuenta bancaria bajando...TODAVIA no ha resultado en nuestro bebe Ramos.

Yo (Rebecca) soy de una familia grande y Catolica and yo he soportado muchisimos anuncios de embarazo mas que uno pueda imaginar. Tengo 4 hermanos y 5 hermanas. Yo soy la mas chica de 10! ((Si!! Has leido el numero correcto:10!:) No estoy segura, pero pienso que ninguno de mis hermanos tienen problemas con la infertilidad. Creo que Dios ha guardado lo MEJOR para el final!
Omar tiene 5 en su familia. (dos hermanas y dos hermanos). Tampoco, ninguno de sus hermanos tienen problemas con la infertilidad.

Nuestras familias y nuestros amigos nos han apoyado demasiado durante estos anos que hemos luchado. Hemos sido bendecidos! Los que nos conocen personalmente miran el AMOR que tenemos por los ninos. Tenemos tantos sobrinos y sobrinas que queremos con todo el corazon y siempre rezamos que Dios nos bendiga con un bebe nuestro!

Hemos estado consultando con Dr. Cavallo desde 2010 y el y sus empleados maravillosos en PHA~ Physicisans Holistic Health Alliance nos han atendido con excelente atencion. Hemos estado bendecidos con la ayuda que nos han dado en llegar UN PAZO mas serca a realizer nuestro sueno. Dr. Cavallo nos ha referido a un RE (endocrinólogo reproductive) para discutir IVF (fertilización Invitro). Hemos decidido dar un salto de FE y seguro
el deseo de nuestros corazones en tratar todo lo posible antes de pensar: "Quizas tenemos que tratar IVF para tener nuestro bebe/bebes." Tuvimos nuestra primer RE sita en 8/7/13 en Fort Wayne, IN. Dr. Colver fue increible y tuvimos una gran primera impresion .
El precio de IVF es ridiculamente caro y necesitamos ayuda en recaudar dinero porque nuestro seguro no cubre nada acerca de la "infertilidad".

En este momento, hestamos contra adopcion y subrogación porque
tenemos verdaderamente FE que Dios SI va ser lo imposible POSIBLE.

Infertilidad es una montana rusa emocional y ha puesto a prueba nuestra FE en todos aspectos. Verdaderamente se toma un peso en uno mentalmente, fisicamente y emocionalmente! El dia CUANDO estemos embarazados y miremos un gran senal positivo en una prueba de embarazo: será un espectáculo digno de ver!

Esperamos que todos ustedes sigan siguendo nuestra historia mientras nosotros segimos rezando que las donaciones siguen adelante (Aunque las donaciones son tan poco como $5-$10) y nos ayuden en llegar a nuestro sueno de vida de ser padres! No hay tal cosa como una "donacion pequena" porque todas se juntan rapidamenta.

Esperamos alcanzar nuestra meta para que podamos seguir adelante con todos los gastos que vienen junto con IVF y seguir adelante con el proceso entero.

Gracias por tomar el tiempo para leer nuestra historia resumida!

VAMOS A SUPERAR LA INFERTILIDAD!!!"
