Hello
@revhtree and fellow reefers. This is such an amazing thread! Please keep my wife and I in your prayers as we start our last IVF attempt.
We learned over 4 years ago that our chances of conceiving a child naturally is minimal. After over 2 years of fertility assistance, including 1 miscarriage, my wife became pregnant with our first child during our third IVF attempt. Ten weeks into the pregnancy, we learned that our first child, Isabelle Grace, has Down syndrome. She was born 4 weeks premature and over the last 3 years, has faced and overcome many health concerns, including open heart surgery in April 2018 to repair a hole in her heart. Isabelle is now doing amazing!
My wife and I always wanted to have 2 kids, and now we would love to have a second child so that Isabelle will have a sibling who will help look after her when we are gone. We already attempted once back in August, but the doctor was unable to retrieve any eggs. My wife has since gone through 3 months of acupuncture and the preliminary labs and scans are showing a little more hope of getting some viable eggs. In about a month, we will be giving this one last chance in hopes of retrieving as least 1 viable egg and hoping that it will lead to us to being blessed with a second child.
Please help us pray that His will be done... whether it means Isabelle is our only child or that we're lucky enough to have a second child and that Isabelle will have brother or sister.
