With only one month before chemo, which could pose risks to her fertility, Nicole had to act quickly. Livestrong Fertility was there to help. Through our program, "my medication was 100% covered," Nicole said. "My caseworker was amazing, and my medication swiftly came gift-wrapped to my door the same day, 6 to 7 hours later...I have waited longer for Amazon packages!"

"Coming from a big family, I knew I would want kids," Nicole said. "I am engaged, and I still find comfort that my eggs from when I was 25 still remain preserved and ready to go when we decide to start a family."
