Making the decision to have a child "” it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body. Having a child is something that both of us have wanted for a long time and would be a dream come true. This should be the happiest time in a couple's life. Sadly, it's been one of the hardest times for us. In the first year of our marriage we were very hopeful we would get pregnant quickly. Our families were even placing bets on when we would be pregnant. After a year of trying we decided to set up an appointment with an infertility doctor. After going through several tests, it was unclear as to what was preventing us from becoming pregnant. Our doctor told us what possibilities could be the problem but that ultimately we fall into the 10% of people where it is unknown. Over the next year we went through six separate infertility treatments that involved Candis getting hormone shots every day for a couple weeks per treatment. During each treatment we would go in for the insemination and wait two long weeks to find out if we were to become parents. During these two weeks, Candis would be taking more hormones that made her body think she was pregnant. Which made it that much more heartbreaking when our dream didn't come true. Unfortunately we have exhausted all of our options that our insurance will cover. The next option for us to conceive a child is to do IVF, in vitro fertilization. Sadly our insurance doesn't cover this procedure. We are hoping that you can help us in any way possible, whether financially, or keeping us in your thoughts and prayers. We thank you all for taking the time to help us start our new family!
