Expanding our family through IVF
Donation protected
Our Journey .....
Many of you have asked if/when we will be extending our family. Everyone knows our dogs want to be big brothers! You see it happen all around you, constantly...but not for you. You go to the doctor, you have visit after visit, blood work after blood work, procedure after procedure, and year after year, no baby...
We would love to have a child of our own. After trying for some time, we did seek professional help. In the spring of 2019, we attempted conceiving thru an IUI fertility treatment. Unfortunately, that failed. At that point we were told the only way to have a child of our own is through IVF. An alternative option would be adoption.
Thankfully, we have many children in our lives. We love having our nieces, nephews, godchildren, and being Auntie & Uncle to our friend’s children. Being surrounded by kids has made it clear that we do not need to adopt.
After extensive research and a lot of discussions we have decided to attempt IVF. We would like to have a child of our own. The process takes an emotional, physical, and financial toll on couples. With our insurance offering zero coverage along with the exorbitant costs we are prepared to go thru the process and give it our best shot. Covid-19 delayed the schedule a bit, but in October we will be going through the process.
Our IVF adventure costs around $30,000 with medication. The deposit required to start is $16,200.
It is hard to ask for help, especially financial help.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. It was so therapeutic to get our story out and into words. Thank you for being part of our lives and for all the love and support you have given us
Please donate if you can.
We love and thank you all!!!
