Despite 0.1% Odds Couple Welcomes Surprise Baby

A husband who was told he and his wife had just a 0.1% chance of conceiving naturally dropped everything and sprinted through his house in shock when he came home to a pregnancy reveal. Having started trying for a child in 2020, Jacob and Lauren Beck, from Toledo, Ohio, were later faced with the prospect that having a child could be a difficult – and costly – reality. After a year and a half of trying, Lauren, who had been having irregular cycles her entire adult life, was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The couple tried everything without luck; and after a consultation in 2021, they began looking into IVF. As well as facing such low odds of conceiving naturally, Jacob said the couple also realized they couldn't afford the rounds of treatment, as the IVF costs, he said, would be around $23,000. During the coronavirus pandemic, Jacob changed jobs to travel nursing to pay for the treatment, which saw him stay in "unsafe" areas and living away from Lauren to raise the money. His hard work paid off, though, when the couple welcomed their first child, Ryker, in 2023 – but to have the second child they dreamed of, they would need to raise money again. A change in Lauren's financial situation set the couple back, Jacob, 32, said, but he devised a plan to raise $10,000 for the next embryo transfer as a surprise that could result in a 2026 baby. But then, on November 1, 2024, Lauren, 33, decided to take a pregnancy test while Jacob was at work.
