Ivf struggles help create our dream

My fairytale needs a complete ending.

When I was 17 I met my dream guy. We went flatting for the first time a year later, and by age 20 we had bought our first home. When we were 24 we had the most amazing wedding with all our friends and family. How lucky am I!?

Unfortunately our dream of having a family was proving harder than we expected. After months of trying to conceive, and continuous visits to doctors and specialists, we found out there was no possible way to have a baby without IVF.

We were placed on the 12 month waiting list and after an initial failure during the first round, we struck lucky with our second and now have a beautiful little girl.

As there's no possible way to conceive without IVF we thought we would get one more round on public funding. Sadly we discovered this was not the case. So now we are trying to save all our money to pay for another round to complete our little family. We need $12000 - $14000 to proceed with IVF. We are now both 27. With age and health on our side we believe now is the time to try again in the hopes of a positive outcome.

If you are able to help us on our journey to a complete family, a sibling for our daughter to grow up with, and a fairytale ending to our story - we would be forever grateful.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
