Their story

Our Journey so far I’m 34 yrs old. I’ve been with my husband for 3 years, married for almost 1 year. We have been trying for 2 years now, to have my first baby. I have dreamed of this my entire life. I was diagnosed with PCOS/PMOS at age 15 and I was told it would be difficult for me to conceive. I never had so much as a thought I could be pregnant since then and I started to believe that I’d never be able to get pregnant. After I met my husband, we decided to try to have a baby. I made doctor appointments and we never could figure out why exactly I was having trouble other than the PCOS/PMOS but my hormone levels were normal. After trying for 2.5 yrs, tracking cycles, ovulation, hormone levels, the works, I had started to lose hope. But then almost 2 months after my wedding, I found out that I had a missed miscarriage. I had finally got my positive, but then a week later I found out that I miscarried. It completely broke me but I had hope. Now back to the tracking, bloodwork, apps, test trips, supplements and I’ve had no luck at all. What the funds would cover I am terrified that I’m running out of time and my fertility is declining even more so we started talking and researching IVF. My cousin had IVF and had her twins. She recommended it to us but the price is so expensive. We are trying to save up but it seems as if it unreachable. What it would mean I have watched my sister have my beautiful nieces and nephew. I have watched my cousins and friends have their babies and I find myself wondering if it will ever be my turn. We just want to have our precious little baby and complete our family. A chance to make a dream come true.
