completing our family after such loss
Meredith and Christopher
Independence, Kentucky
We are Chris and Meredith. We are a married couple of almost 5 years who have a brilliant little boy named Weston. Our little boy has been a true miracle from God. We want nothing more than to complete our family.
Shortly after getting married in Dec of 2014, we became pregnant naturally. Almost three months later we had a miscarriage that needed a D&C to resolve. About 1 month after this D&C, we became pregnant again, with Weston. Chris was 34 and I was 37.
Having both grown up in big families we knew quickly after having Weston that we wanted more children. We started trying again quickly. On Weston's 1st birthday, March 16, 2016, we discovered we were pregnant! Sadly, we lost the baby two months later. We became pregnant 5 more times prior to seeing a fertility specialist. Most of the pregnancies were lost between 5 and 8 weeks. Each pregnancy brought hope for expanding our family, but each loss brought heartache.
In Jan of 2018, we began working with a fertility clinic. They tried three rounds of IUIs but none worked. We even transferred to a different fertility clinic and tried another round of IUI, this time with injectable medications; however, this didn’t work either. We knew that our odds were low; very, very low, but were still willing to try; we still had HOPE.
After 1.5 years of medical interventions and thousands of dollars spent, (Neither Chris or I's medical insurance cover any of these treatments, or medications for becoming pregnant), on IUIs, medications, doctor's visits and travel we became pregnant on our own! Yet again, HOPE was still alive!
At 7 weeks pregnant, at my brother's wedding, we lost yet another baby. This led to an emergency hospital stay, medical procedures, out of pocket costs and yet another loop around the roller coaster.
We then met with our, fertility specialist and we were told that IUIs, which we have tried already, will give us a less than 5% chance at conceiving each time. IVF is not an option due to poor egg quality and low reserve. (Likely due to my age, 40, and the recurrent miscarriages). Our best chance (and it’s a good one) for a pregnancy will be through embryo adoption. So we adopted four embryos, did two transfers, and neither worked!
This journey has led us to adoption! WeSWe are already home study approved! SupportoSupport looks to different to each and every one of you, but we will take it in whatever way you are willing to give. Please share your love, kind thoughts, donations if you can, but most importantly, please PRAY FOR US!
