Travis and Madison’s IVF Journey

Hi everyone! My name is Madison Ramey, and I have been married to my husband Travis for almost four years now. Since the day we met, our biggest dream was to start a family. In 2019, we started trying for this dream, but have been unsuccessful and heartbroken since. It has been a painful and mentally draining process trying to conceive and now with my polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) diagnosis and Travis’s oligospermia diagnosis, we were told it would be nearly impossible to conceive naturally and that the only hope we had at starting our family, and fulfilling our dream, was undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF).

 

It has been heartbreaking and discouraging to see consistent negative pregnancy tests when all we want is to start this new phase of our journey as parents. It is even more devastating to see the state of Travis’ parents’ health be so unclear, that we are unsure we will even be able to provide them grandchildren while in good health.

 

Since this procedure is not covered by insurance, and will run us around $25,000, which covers appointments, ultrasounds, medications, egg retrieval, genetic testing and embryo transfer. I feel helpless and at a loss. Due to this, we are putting our pride aside and creating this gofundme to hopefully receive any help in getting our baby. I ask if you would be so generous to consider donating to our gofundme so we can complete a round of IVF. You would be making our dream come true—creating and bringing a baby into this world to love endlessly.

With much love,

The Ramey’s
