The Gift of Parenthood - Making Baby Drew
Donation protected
Hello Friends and Family,
As many of you know we have infertility and have been trying to conceive for quite some time now.
I’ve been made aware by doctors how difficult getting pregnant may be since I was 16 years old, so being aware of that we decided to start immediately. The week after our wedding in January 2022 I underwent surgery to remove some endometriosis and clear cysts off my ovaries, since then we have been to doctors appointments after doctors appointments, lab testing, procedures, failed treatments, miscarriages, and lots of heartbreak and loss of hope trying to conceive.
We have been pretty open about our journey and If you’ve been following along you may know we just did an aggressive IUI cycle and it unfortunately failed. After discussing our options of next steps for treatment with the fertility clinic we have come to the decision to move onto IVF because my body needs more aggressive treatment than we can do with just an IUI cycle, also with IVF we can do Preimplantation genetic testing on the embryos to ensure that there are no genetic problems that could be causing my miscarriages and failed implantation.
IVF is physically and emotionally intense but we are eager to do it knowing if we are blessed the end result is finally holding our baby in our arms. The financial aspect of IVF is the only thing hindering us currently, we are looking at $20,000 and insurance covers nothing.
We are not ones to ask for help, we are saving every penny, eliminating extra costs, and doing everything we can to get us there ourselves. This process has been so emotionally and physically taxing on the both of us and dealing with the financial stress over something we have absolutely no control over for the dream of having a family has been overwhelming.
So here’s how it works! You donate any price you would like to. Your name and a message to our future baby (if you’d like to add one) will be written in an IVF children’s book for them to have for their entire life knowing who their community is and how you helped get them here.
If you do donate and would like to write a message in the book yourself, you absolutely will be able to do so but if you’d just like for us to write it you private message me and we will write it in for you! No matter what your name will be in this book for our (hopefully) miracle baby!
Please do not feel obligated to donate any funds! Your prayers, support, shares and encouraging words have gone such a long way and we are so beyond blessed to have you all.
Thank you Kaitlyn and Justin
