Tyler and I(Paige) met in high school and were high school sweethearts. We got married in September of 2015 and started trying to conceive in August of 2016. Just before Christmas of 2016 I found out that I was about 7 weeks pregnant. Unfortunately I lost that baby a week before Christmas. We had no clue why we miscarried but we didn’t let it get us down too much. We were young and it was our first try, so we had faith we could do it again. Over a year went by so we decided to get tested, the doctor then confirmed it would be difficult for us to have our rainbow baby.

This began our fertility journey.. Tyler has a Y chromosome mutation, which lead us to the discovery of him having been born with azoospermia. Our fertility team explained the only way to possibly get pregnant is through IVF with ICSI procedure.

We have two options with this procedure. One is the Microdessection surgery which is not covered by insurance and costs $8,500 out of pocket and upfront before the surgery. The second is PESA/TESE procedure which is also not covered by insurance and costs $4,000 out of pocket and upfront. Luckily most of my medicine in order to get my body ready for the IVF will be covered by my insurance, but will come to about $2,500

We have been dreaming of becoming parents our whole lives. It would mean the world if anyone could help us reach parenthood with any donation they are able to give. We are not people to ask for anything like this but it’s the only way we can finally have the baby we are so ready to love.

Thank you all so much for taking the time to read our story ❤️
