Hi everyone, I don't post a ton of serious stuff, most of it is an act on these parts. But time for something very close to our hearts for my wife and I. We were on our IVF journey at 22 weeks, and she went into early labor with a handful of complications on early Monday morning of this week. We got to be a first time Mommy and Daddy for about two hours and then our son passed away peacefully. We are heartbroken. He was going to be our first child and we were so excited. Preeclampsia and cervical insufficiency (no one knew we'd have these things) were too much to overcome. I'm asking for donations on behalf of my wife and I to cover funeral costs and give our son a proper funeral / service. If any of you can donate, we'd appreciate it so very very much. A few of you on here already have and it's tremendously appreciated. Link below. https://gofund.me/e2c33b69 With much love, Travis
Very sorry to hear that and happy to help out. Hope you, your wife and your family find peace and things work out for your family the next time.
Heartbreaking. I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope both you and your wife heal quickly in all manner possible.
I am so sorry brother. Cannot even fathom the pain you all are feeling. Hoping for healing as you navigate this difficult time together.
Travis I am so dam sorry dude, I cant even imagine what you and your wife are going through.......................dam, just dam
Sorry man. I don't know what to say. I hope you and your wife can pull through this tough time and heal.
That's so horrible to hear, I literally cannot imagine. Don't take this the wrong way, because I'm not good with words right this second, but... Would yall try IVF again someday?
Damn, I am so sorry to hear that. I can't imagine it. I hope the hospital notified you of services to help you, your wife, and others get through this. I'm sure those hours you had with your son gave you some great memories. You'll always have those. I threw a bit your way. Looks like you're almost at the goal already. You and your wife must be great people.
Man I'm sorry to hear this happened to y'all, you have my prayers that you and your family may bounce back from this unfortunate situation.
This is why I love Clutchfans. Sports, comfort, laughs, crying and love/support. For everyone that contributed, please DM. My wife and I would like to write you our heartfelt thanks on an individual basis too. As for a general thanks, thank you all so much for the kind words and the love and support. Means the world to us.
No offense taken Buck. We really would one day like to try again at some point with IVF. I've gotten into it a bit here in a few posts about my battles with depression over the years before being stable on meds now. And meds are great for me, but sexual side effects they do come with. That's why we were really hoping our first try with IVF would be successful. Because it's hard finding the sex drive to hit all of those damn ovulation days, etc. It just doesn't happen. Long story short, I hope IVF will treat us more kindly next time around because it's been our dream to have a family of our own for years now. We had that dream snatched away too soon from us.
So sorry for you and your wife’s loss - I am not a gofundme guy but I do PayPal. If you like, send me a message through the board with your email and I will donate. Hang in there - will be praying for you and your wife.
I’m so incredibly sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine and no words will be enough to comfort. I’m more than sure this will be with you two always, just hope you find peace with this as soon as possible. All my best to you and your wife.
