Kate and James need your help - IVF round 2!!

Our little love story - we met in kindy! And finally about 26 years later I nabbed my man!

8 years later, we are desperately trying to have a child as we are unable to conceive naturally due to circumstances out of our control. We have a personal donor.

This last year, 2023 - we had:

- 3 unsuccessful rounds of IUI

- 2 attempts with IVF after our previous Give A Little page.

We got 3 eggs, 2 fertilised, however our fresh transfer failed. We forged ahead with our final frozen transfer and fell pregnant for the very first time! Before we could get too excited, it ended in a medical termination just before Christmas, due to it not continuing to grow and the fear of ectopic.

We do not qualify for public funding as my BMI is too high - however I have also been directed by my specialists that to lose the weight I need would be detrimental to my health - and advised against it. This is on my list of things to work on though!

We appreciate that times are extremely hard for everyone at the moment, but we would just like the opportunity, like so many of our family and friends - to achieve a family of our own.

We both come from big families - mine definitely more so than James! - and while everyone else has always had a 'dream job' - mine was always to be a mum.

Anyone that knows me, knows that I have always wanted to be a mum - and despite our year of setbacks - we will fight to try make this a reality ASAP as my biological clock is definitely ticking away...
