Salutations friends! We are grateful for and appreciate every one of you, thank you!
Now, first things first, introductions, I am Angela Gay, my significant other & best friend is James Riley. We are both 36 years old, we've known one another since middle school, (5th grade); however we never associated or crossed paths as our friends/social circles differed tremendously. Fast forward to 2014/2015 we reconnect and instantly become best friends, having a unique, deep, & unexplainable connection, we know each other's soul! Fast forward to February 13th 2023, our anniversary, the day we finally became what we should've been years prior, a couple! Let me preface the next section by saying my period stopped from July 2013-April 2023; I was given the reason was due to a medication I take, so I accepted that and went on without a period! During the time my period was absent I gained a significant amount of weight with my heaviest being 186lbs. keep in mine I am barely 5 feet tall, that's significantly overweight for my height. I made lifestyle and diet changes, got to my current weight of 105lbs, & combined with the chemical reaction of falling in love, my menstrual cycle resumed April 2023! After having only 3 periods from a 10 year hiatus, at the age of 35 I was pregnant! I have 2 children from previous relationships, my daughter is 19, and my son is 11, I was very adamant for years that I was done having kids, and convinced myself I didn't want anymore children, until I found myself pregnant at 35 with the man I plan to spend forever with!
Unfortunately on September 4th 2023 (Labor Day) I had a miscarriage at 9 weeks. This was my second miscarriage ever, I had one that nearly killed me due to hemoraging 5 months before I got pregnant with my son; yes my son is a rainbow baby! As devastating as that was it came as a shock when I got pregnant again after one cycle, we were eleated! Tragedy hit us again on December 2nd 2023 when I had my second consecutive miscarriage around 6-8 weeks; my third pregnancy loss all together. Having consecutive miscarriages made me part of a very very very small percentage of women that also experienced consecutive pregnancy loss; my heartache and the pain of so many woman yearning for children are deduced to just statistics, data, research topics, and numbers.
It's been 6 months since my last miscarriage in December, and we've not been fortunate enough for me to get pregnant again, and since we are on a strict time limit per my biological clock we really can't afford to waste time! We have looked into IUI (intrauterine insemination) and IVF (in vitro fertilization), which neither are covered by my insurance- (yet it covers a plethora of hormonal birth control methods; and other means of pregnancy prevention) and we can't afford to pay out of pocket!
My significant other doesn't have any biological children, he never thought fatherhood was even an option, to the point where he believed he was sterile being as he never had the proverbial young and dumb "pregnancy scare," thus he accepted it and moved on with his life.
We have been quoted the estimated cost for everything required for just one round of IVF will be between $7500-$25000; with my personal estimate of $9600 being on the low end of IVF costs! With my severely time lapsed biological clock ticking away our ability to take our time and save the money, we are in need of more urgent, immediate, soon, very near future, needed it last week kind of option! This is our last resort at having our rainbow baby, granted we raise the money needed to try. I promised my significant other we could try for 2 years, we are quickly approaching 1 year of trying to no avail. Anyway, please consider helping us afford IVF and have a healthy full term baby- especially now that the fuel pump in my car has quit working and we don't have near the money needed to fix it..thank you to all that help, we genuinely appreciate you all!
