Please support us, so we can create a miracle

Hello everyone <3

 

As some of you know, I was diagnosed with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) in November 2020. I immediately proceeded to the egg freezing clinic, where I was informed that I had no follicles/eggs left. I was told that I had zero chances of ever having my own biological child. I was devastated but also single at the time. I eventually semi-healed from this immense grief. Speed up to February 2021 ..I met mi amor, my life partner, Adrian. At the same time, I was told I actually have a 5% chance of spontaneous ovulation/pregnancy (always get a second opinion). If you know me, then you know I now had to do everything in my power to make a miracle happen. Life became a rollercoaster ride. It was like being on the Coney Island Cyclone thinking, "Will I make it to the end or will this old ride kill me?". I became obsessed with finding any way possible to improve my overall health to increase my chances of ovulation. I dug deep into research, went to conferences, read books, and networked via Instagram. I would not have survived this ride without Adrian's incredible support and love.  Despite all odds against me, one year later, I improved all my hormone levels and now have one follicle present! However, I am 35 years old. So my chances continue to reduce each year, and with already only a 5% chance, time is not on our side. Adrian and I have decided to try everything we can to see if I can get the miracle I wish for daily. We wish we had the ability to "do things right"- get married, buy a home and then years from now discuss when we are ready for a baby. However, life has not presented me with the beauty of having a traditional timeline. So, we decided to proceed with IVF to see if it would help stimulate follicle growth and create a healthy embryo. We will then freeze this embryo and be able to have our own version of a timeline on our sides. Unfortunately, this has to be done now or never. No part of IVF is covered by either of our insurance companies. We do not have the luxury of time to save up for IVF. This is where we need the support of those we love. We Thank You So Much, from the bottom of our hearts! Any little amount you are able to provide, each dollar gets us a little closer to working towards that miracle <3
