Hello everyone… I was afraid to do this because of it making my husband and my business very public, this subject is very tender for me.

We’ve been married since August of 2024, together for years prior. I was diagnosed with PCOS at the age of 13, which means pregnancy and being a mom was going to be hard to accomplish, which my husband was told when we got together.

We’ve been seeing a fertility doctor for about 3 months for testing, just 2 days ago we got the results of all of the tests… I have a uterus that they don’t know the shape of which is now requiring another test that we will barely be able to afford, followed by potential surgery, and then we will finally get to start treatment with hopefully just IUI (ovulation medicine).

My husband and I have been paying for everything up to this point out of pocket as our insurance hasn’t covered anything. With these new steps given to us we will sadly have to put having a family on hold until we can regather more money to make our dream possible. Potentially 6 months to a year with the costs broken down for us for what’s left to do, because of all the other bills and our 2 dogs that we’re having to care for.

Each visit to the doctor has been extremely hard for me as I’ve known I wanted to be a mom for forever, but to be told it may never happen when I was small to now know I have a chance.. it’s made me cry as soon as I come home each time. My heart aches even more knowing how close we are but having to stop for the foreseeable future. There’s nothing more that I want then to give my husband a child, to finally be a mom, and take care of something so unimaginable.

If you’d like to hear and get a very close idea to what this all has been for me… I always refer to “Friends” where Chandler and Monica reach the adoption agency. Where Chandler is pleading for his wife and him to have the baby. What he says to Erica “When the time comes I’ll learn how to be a good dad. But my wife, she’s already there. She’s a mother. A mother without a baby.” That breaks my heart in more ways that I could ever explain.

It would mean a lot to both of us if you could help us get to our dream of having a family.. even if it’s just sharing our story that would be amazing. I’m sorry to ask in the first place, no matter how natural this may be for some reason it feels very selfish to ask. Thank you for those who read through our journey up to this point.
