We are grateful for the chance to begin building our family with IVF this fall, and we are asking for your support as we take this big step.
We have been diagnosed with unexplained infertility which means that everything that they can test for is ‘normal,’ but our chances of conceiving on our own are very low. After 2.5 years of trying with medicated cycles and 4 IUIs, our fertility doctor is confident that we will be great candidates for IVF.
Most insurances including ours do not cover the costs of IVF and our estimated expenses for this process are anywhere from $20k to $30k, depending on how things progress. The majority of this is due up-front in September. We are asking our friends and family to help us offset some of our expenses and make this less of a financial burden as we enter parenthood.
We are sharing this with our close community, but currently would like to keep this private while we navigate this vulnerable process.
We ask that you please refrain from sharing on social media, or with those who don’t know us personally.
Thank you in advance for your support!
