Amber & Tyler’s IVF Journey
Donation protected
I am reaching out to you with my heart full of hope and a dream that I hold close to my heart. Tyler and Amber, dear friends of mine, have been on a challenging journey to start their own family, and they are now turning to the power of community for your support.
Tyler and Amber have faced the emotional rollercoaster of almost 3 years of infertility, and after much consideration, they have decided to pursue In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) as a path to parenthood. As many of you may know, IVF is an expensive process, and the financial burden can be overwhelming. That's where we come in as their support network. Here’s a little bit about their journey so far…
Tyler and Amber started trying to build their family in the Spring of 2021, but despite their excitement and readiness, they found themselves still waiting for that positive pregnancy test. As each month passes without success, it's been an emotional rollercoaster, filled with hope, disappointment, and uncertainty; over and over again. Recognizing the need for additional guidance, they had decided to seek the expertise of fertility specialists to try to uncover what the barrier might be.
Despite both undergoing a significant amount of invasive medical examinations and evaluations, no specific cause has been identified as the culprit behind their difficulty in conceiving. They have been diagnosed with “Unexplained Infertility.” This diagnosis brings both relief and frustration – relief in the sense that there are no glaring issues that require immediate intervention, yet frustration at the lack of answers.
They’ve tried many interventions both on their own and with the help of doctors and specialists, via modern medicine and the holistic route with no avail. Tyler and Amber have also already completed 3 IUI’s (intrauterine insemination procedures; less invasive than IVF) which were not successful and so they have now been informed that IVF is their best option at this point, before moving on to surrogacy.
After already spending $10,000+ out of pocket so far (as insurance doesn’t cover infertility costs), we are excited to announce the launch of a GoFundMe campaign to help raise funds for them. Your support can make a significant difference and bring them closer to the dream of welcoming a child into their lives. Every donation, no matter the size, brings them one step closer to making their dream a reality.
They also are accepting Venmo donations to: @apont715
In addition to financial contributions, please consider sharing this campaign on your social media platforms to help spread the word and reach a broader audience. Your support, whether through donations or sharing, will make a meaningful impact on this difficult path.
Thank you for taking the time to hear some of their story and for considering supporting Tyler and Amber on their journey to parenthood. Let's help make their dream come true!
