My dream of becoming a Mum! - IVF Round #3

$6,115 of $10,000 goal
Given by 55 generous donors in around 6 months

I would Love your Help both Spiritually & Financially, to help me, for a 3rd round of IVF. Your Love &support is gratefully appreciated xx

Christchurch, Canterbury

I’ve always wanted a family. A man &kids, to join me &my furkids- LuLu, Charlie &Arthur.

Hadn't found my man, my age was increasing &knowing that my Endometriosis was going to prove it difficult to conceive -I decided to do it myself.

My Bestfriend supported me &kept me smiling, at a horrid fertility appointment in CHC, There I was told I couldn’t do IVF as very low eggs

Sadness kicked in -I needed a 2nd opinion!

Fastfwd 3yrs- I'm Doing IVF at a clinic in AKL. I've got a kind baby daddy donor, who is helping me & on my 2nd round.

2 lots of stingy self-administered injections, Gazillion bloodtests, poking,prodding &meds!

Rnd#1 =9Eggs = 4Embryos.

Sadly these decreased as time and procedures, went by. No1 tells you it’s a daily numbers&waiting game

Rnd#2 = 3

Total 7 embryos!!!

$50,000 in debt &nothing to show for it

Mum has been my rock- hormones & disappointment bring lots of tears. My friends, fellow flightees &pilots have been amazing putting up with very "flat Anna"

M&D always taught me to be good with $$ -was nearly mortgage free, so was able to borrow money from my bank, sadly now they'v said no.

Please No tiny sympathy violins, thats not me! I've seen rockbottom (mental health) &have pulled myself back up again, But this time as hard as it is for me, I’ve had to swallow my pride &ask for help. Both spiritually & financially

I've told Dad to send my baby from spirit now, It will be so Loved, but the poor kid will be just like me haha, a bit crazy, very stubborn, but so so dam cool!

Use of funds

A 3rd round of IVF will cost me another $15,000.

I would be very grateful for any Love, support and donations that I would receive, to go towards my dream of being a Mum

I am not asking for all $15k, but any support would be so helpful to me. Thank you xx

IVF ROUND #3

Thank you to all of you, who helped me make this possible - financially and with your Love ♥️

Today is day 7 of these hideous drugs. Only a 5 or so more days of Jabbing myself to go.

Today, I just don't feel strong or very well. 🤔🥹😵‍💫🥰

After the 1st round, I said, No more. My body was sore, my mind was tired and my eyes stung from the tears. 4Embryos didn't want to grow. Mum got me thru it .

The 2nd round, I said No more after this, I can't do any more drugs. I can't do anymore sadness. Mum again got me thru it.

I did not ever think I would need to do all of this, who ever does. I am $70,000ish in debt, but swallowing my pride, I asked for some help and I am so so grateful to all those people who gave me, some of your hard earned money. I am forever grateful and I will always remember your Love and Kindness.

Next week, The big Egg harvest. 🤞🤞 I have eggs that want to become, good happy, healthy, healthy, healthy embryos. Which will grow me a wee baby!!!

This is my last shot at becoming a mum.

Thank you to My Mum, for being my Rock, every single day ♥️♥️
