oocyte cryopreservation
Donation protected
Hi, my name is DeAna Thurman. I am trying to raise money for a procedure, oocyte cryopreservation (egg freezing). I have struggled with ovarian cysts, borderline malignant tumors, PCOS, and endometriosis since I was 12 years old. I have been seeing an oncologist every 6 months for the past 7 years now, I have had 5+ surgeries due to all of these issues, including the removal of one ovary and fallopian tube and pieces of the other ovary. My doctors and I have discussed and thought it would be a good idea for me to go ahead and freeze my eggs and possibly start the IVF process before I would have to have another surgery and then not be able to save my ovary; meaning I wouldn’t be able to conceive to have babies, and that’s ALWAYS been a dream of mine. For this procedure, I will have to be on shots for 8-10 days, and this medication is pricey. We are trying to do everything we can to make this happen and we appreciate anything donated!
