BRE & CHRIS'S IVF JOURNEY
About us!
We've been married since May, 2017. After nearly 5 1/2 years of marriage, we currently live in Palmyra, Missouri with our two dogs, two cats, and horse.
After about a year of marriage, we decided to try and get pregnant. While we knew that our fertility journey could be a struggle, we had no clue of the difficult journey we would have to go on. After a two-year period of trying naturally and then taking fertility meds, we learned that Bre's fallopian tubes were non-functioning. We made the decision to remove them in order to improve her quality of life. But anyone who has taken a fourth-grade health class knows: no fallopian tubes, no possibility of a baby.
We entered into the process of IVF in 2019. After a very successful egg retrieval and fertilization process, we did finally go through the actual process of IVF. Our first attempt was unsuccessful, but our second attempt did result in a successful pregnancy. Unfortunately, that pregnancy ended in a first-trimester miscarriage. After months of healing--physically and emotionally--we're back and ready to try again.
Please read the blog for an update on our third attempt. 😣
IVF is an arduous and expensive process. Would you consider giving to help us on our journey?
