Brittany and Charles

Hi everyone! We’re Brittany and Aaron Duke!

We are THE example of the invisible string theory. We both graduated from the same high school, but never had any interactions. Many years later, in 2018, we connected and the rest was history.

We got married in October 2022. In January 2023, we were ready to build our family. Little did we know, that would be easier said than done. We were hit with unexplained infertility. We tried a few rounds of clomid, many rounds of letrozole, until ultimately we were referred to Fertility Centers of Illinois to further our chances. Unfortunately, the news of that added so much stress to our lives due to our insurance having no fertility coverage at all.

Without a grant from Chicago Coalition for Family Building, we would never be able to move forward with building our family.

Brittany and Aaron are recipients of a donated cycle from our partner practice, Institute for Human Reproduction.
