Alex shares her journey going through PCOS, preparing to start IVF, and their miracle baby

"Before this it had been so hard to see all the pregnancy announcements being posted (although we were thrilled, it made us question our own journey)."


Her Story

Below is our story about infertility and attached is a photo of when I revealed to my husband we were pregnant

This photo means SO much, my sister took it for us! I told my husband Eric we were testing out a new camera for my sister and had to do a mock engagement shoot.. Eric’s first question when I revealed I was pregnant was.. “How!?” Someone please explain how babies are made to my husband.. JK!! The reason why he asked was it’s only by the grace of god we got pregnant during this time.

Before this it had been so hard to see all the pregnancy announcements being posted (although we were thrilled, it made us question our own journey). We had been only trying for a few months starting early 2018 but I was not getting my period regularly and so it was really hard to track ovulation. We did some tests with my OB and we found out that I had PCOS and we would need to see a fertility specialist or I would most likely not get pregnant on my own. It was a shock to say the least, I was terrified because I did not know anyone that had talked about this before. When your high test results shock your doctors who have been practicing medicine for decades, you start to panic a little. For reference AMH levels are typically <3 and <13 is about the highest of the normal level and mine were at 52.

Luckily, we had prepared financially before we even knew it would be an issue and were willing to do whatever it takes along with having a team of people praying for us and providing support/answers.. after starting treatments that Sept we went through 6 months of treatments, 2 hospitalizations due to reactions to medication, I lost my left ovary due to torsion, only a few shots (luckily!) and we ended up getting pregnant right before starting IVF!! My second hospital visit was March 3-5, 2019 and I ovulated, unknown at the time, at the end of that month getting pregnant! Not to mention we only had intercourse once during that time because I was still in a lot of pain. What a miracle.. I was shocked, my doctor was shocked and obviously so was my husband.

There were a few little complications along the pregnancy but now we have the most perfect little girl and a second one on the way due in January 2022, which is a separate crazy story! I still compare our journey to others that it seems to come so easy.. BUT it’s impossible to know what’s going on behind closed doors. Honestly, I know some women’s journeys are WAY harder and I’m so grateful that we got pregnant when we did. It was hard to be constantly asked “when are you going to have kids?”, it is an innocent question but people don’t realize how painful it can be when you're struggling and want something so bad! I don’t share sympathy, but because I felt like I was alone when getting bad news and I know so many others are struggling. I only pray I can give some hope!

Hearing the heartbeat and remembering seeing the healthy babe at each ultrasound still makes me cry. Just so grateful!

They said there was zero sperm. Even though my boyfriend wasn't fully awake, I saw wet eyes tears rolling on his face. It was the first time I saw him crying. It was also the first time I really saw that he wanted this for us.

    On March 11, 2024, I eagerly joined the “millionaires” group on WhatsApp, hoping to enhance my trading skills and financial prospects. Soon after, I began receiving guidance from Emma, the teacher’s assistant, who walked me through setting up my account on the platform. Encouraged by her support, I made my first investment of $888.46 on April 17, 2024, with subsequent investments totalling $47,928.49 by May 5, 2024. In total, I invested $100,821.42.Initially, my trading endeavours seemed promising, yielding substantial earnings of $1,406,986.00. However, my excitement turned to concern when I attempted to withdraw my profits. The platform imposed a $5 fee on each trade, which I accepted. However, they subsequently demanded a staggering 15% commission fee amounting to $196,047.90 for me to access my funds. This fee was never disclosed upfront or agreed upon, leaving me feeling deceived and trapped. Frustrated by these unexpected demands, I reached out to their customer service for clarification and resolution. They initially insisted on a 1% withdrawal fee, which I paid along with an additional $1250.00 plus $500 for a $125,000 withdrawal. Despite settling these fees on June 5, 2024, I was informed I needed to pay another 1% for “labor fees,” which appeared arbitrary and unjustified to me. The situation escalated on May 17, 2024, when the platform abruptly ceased trading activities and shut down the WhatsApp chat room without prior notice. They then demanded the exorbitant $196,047.90 commission fee, emphasizing it as a precondition for any withdrawal, despite no prior agreement or disclosure.
    Feeling helpless and realizing the severity of the situation, I sought assistance from Web Bailiff Contractor. Their reputation as experts in recovering funds from financial scams gave me hope. With their guidance, I embarked on reclaiming my funds, navigating through the complexities with their methodical approach and clear communication. Web Bailiff Contractor demonstrated unwavering dedication and expertise in handling financial disputes. They meticulously analyzed my case, exposed the platform’s deceptive practices, and advocated on my behalf. Their efforts were about financial recovery and restoring justice and dignity to victims of fraudulent schemes. Thanks to Web Bailiff Contractor’s intervention, I finally saw a breakthrough. They successfully facilitated the withdrawal of my funds, relieving me of the burden imposed by the platform. Their professionalism and persistence throughout the process were exemplary, providing me with much-needed support during a distressing ordeal. Reflecting on my experience, Web Bailiff Contractor proved to be more than just a service provider; they were a lifeline in navigating the aftermath of financial fraud. Their commitment to client satisfaction and ethical practices sets them apart, offering a beacon of hope for individuals like me who find themselves victimized by unscrupulous entities. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Web Bailiff Contractor to anyone facing similar challenges. Their expertise, integrity, and relentless pursuit of justice are invaluable in safeguarding against financial exploitation. Thank you, Web Bailiff Contractor, for restoring what was rightfully mine and for being a trusted ally in my journey towards financial recovery and empowerment.
