Look into the book- “It starts with an egg” it’s imbased off the idea how studies show Mediterranean diets increase the chance for success rates with IVF. You’re in the 10th!! Please be careful. That’s a lot to put your body through.. That many ivfs can cause hyper ovarian stimulation issue. It also creates higher risk of ovarian cancer. I mean why not be open to the idea of donor egg and or adoption? Because that much egg retrievals. I don’t think I can do thatttt much. I’m following the book. Try that.

Hi Hellynn, I always come back to this video as you are able to pass me strength!! I’m 36 with kind of low AMH and concluded two unsuccessful IVF cycles. Both times we opted for PGT testing and despite having an amazing amount of good looking blastocyst, each time we ended up having only one normal embryo. Still, one healthy embryo means one good chance! The first cycle we did a frozen medicated transfer and it went nowhere. The second time we decided to induce ovulation to create a more natural environment: it ended in a chemical pregnancy and lots of tears. The full platform looked perfect, the embryo was healthy and had implanted, so why it ended up badly? Nobody can answer… I’m in my third IVF cycle now. This time we decided to transfer one fresh embryo, which is untested. The other blastocysts are frozen and I’m waiting the PGT outcome. Given my low rate of healthy embryos, I’m not hopeful anymore. I’m 4 days post fresh transfer and still too early for answers, today I’m also waiting the results of the PGT done on the frozen embryos…

huge respect ❤you will be pregnant really soon

Have you tried taking metformin? I’ve done 5 cycles with only one embryo to transfer and no baby. I’ve heard 500 mg of metformin can improve quality. I think I’m going to try that next when I build up enough strength to start another round.

How long have you been doing detox?

Hoping the best for you!!!

Much thanks and love to you ❤

Firstly, thank you for this video. Dear sisters, I pray that you all prioritise self-care alongside whatever medical care. Sometimes, your journey can seem so overwhelming that it can cause overthinking. Remember to enjoy life and look after yourself in preparation for whatever in store for you. I'm booking a massage today 😊 are you able to do something nice for yourself today? Love, laugh and live in the moment too. Sending light to you all.

Hi Hellynn, just wanted to thank you for sharing your journey. It is so incredibly brave, especially during your most vulnerable times. I have been following you and your journey on TH-cam since earlier this year. My journey has almost run parallel to yours. I suffered a chemical pregnancy earlier this year around the same time you did. Listening to your soothing voice made me feel much better. I started my journey at 39 yrs old with a 0.5 AMH (my AMH had now increased to 0.86 after supplements). Now I’m 41 and still trying. In additional to my low ovarian reserve, my uterine lining doesn’t get very thick for the ET (less than 7mm), causing my embryos not to stick. I have done 9 IVF cycles and just wanted to let you know something that very much improves my egg number and embryo quality. It’s testosterone gel 1% w/w (Androtas). I primed with testosterone gel for 21 days prior to stimulation during my first cycle in 2022 and the doctor was shocked to see I got 9 eggs, considering my very low AMH levels. I did not PGS test my first cycle and ended up with one chemical pregnancy. My second and third cycles I did not prime with the testosterone gel, I ended up with just two & three follicles and one & two low grade D5 embryos, which I PGS tested, and all were aneuploid. For my 4th cycle, I primed again with testosterone gel for 21 days prior to starting my cycle and I had much more follicles, egg count and my embryos has much better grading and I got 1 euploid d5 embryo, which ended in a chemical pregnancy. For my 5th and 6th cycles I revereted back to DHEA instead of the testosterone gel, and my egg number and embryo grade was horrible again. I got zero euploid embryo’s. My 7th, 8th and 9th cycle I did back to back stimulation cycles using testosterone gel priming again. My egg quantity and D5 embryo numbers and grading greatly improved again and I was also able to bank 1 euploid d5 from each one of those cycles (so now I have 3 euploids banked). I am now in the middle of my embryo transfer with the first of my euploids, 5DPT. 🤞🏼🤞🏼 not testing my beta hcg yet. For me personally having the gel form of testosterone applied to my upper arm for 21 days before stimulation was much more effective in increasing the sensitivity to FSH (+ hCG) stimulation than priming for 2.5 months with 75mg DHEA pills. Sending you lots of love and baby vibes 💕

Rooting so much for you♥️ and to soon be seeing your pregnancy videos 🙏

Have you done all 11 cycles with same clinic?

I am so glad I found you, if there is anyone else vlogging their journey please respond so I can follow you as well, I’m 44 and doing Ivf as well. You gave so much wonderful information!

I have my first egg retrieval tomorrow morning, I am advanced maternal age as well, I’m 44. Thank you so much for all the information, im vlogging my journey as well for support. Do they have you take CoQ10? I have a lot of follicles for my age but I wont know the quality until after testing them. We are doing genetic testing. I’m so sorry to hear about your latest retrieval. This is the first video of yours that I watched because I was looking for what to expect before during and after my egg retrieval, I am subscribed and I will be following. Wishing you all the best ❤

Please join the Facebook group I just started so that we can support each other! I’ll share updates and info about getting IVF in Korea there for those interested. facebook.com/groups/1058899261969918/

Which cycle is this?

You’re doing the best you possibly can in this moment ..and that’s more than enough.❤ I’m also going through IVF in Asia after moving from the UK. The struggle is real but we got this. 💪🏻

Thank you for your channel and your transparency. I wondered what your thoughts are around TTC and acupunture? Sending ❤ and light.

Wish you all the best .! I think you will be able to bring your pregnancy videos soon.

Do you have a recipe for the smoothie? Please 🙏

❤🧿

Do you ever worry about the amount of hormones you’re injecting during IVF? I know IVF can be the only option for some people who want a biological child, but I recently read that it might increase the risk of ovarian and breast cancer. Fertility doctors don’t always share those risks, possibly because it’s a lucrative business for both them and the drug companies-especially since many people go through multiple cycles.

for the ones that sting, wipe the needle tip with alcohol and let dry before injecting!

Hi Hellynn! My pergoveris is in pen form and i'm so thankful for it😅 And its always so curious how our bodies are different...pergoveris don't hurt me AT ALL but the antagonist is pinching strong... Btw, i fully agree with you. My belly fat never seems more sympathetical to me than the times i have to sting myself many times a day for weeks long 😊😊

Hi Hellynn !! I really appreciate your perseverance.. Wishing you All the Very Best !! Like I mentioned before , I started my 1st cycle of IVF at 43 with an almost negligible AMH. Started with 2 follicles and I think about 3 are seen as of now. I am on Stim Day 10 and the doctor said I may take longer than usual. Glad to join this journey with you. You really give a lot of positivity. I constantly draw strength from your videos. Thank you once again !!!! Pls keep updating …. Let’s Do this Together !!!!

so sorry to hear this. it is so heartbreaking that you have to go through this feeling. And thank you for putting yourself together and share with us. It makes me feel that disappointment and anger and sadness is valid as we face this situation. I am praying for you and forever grateful for the things you share with us. Sending you love

Hi Hellynn, may I ask what dosage is Pergoveris? Compared to previous Ivfs do you feel differently with this hormones combination? You are so brave to do this so many times! Wish you luck from the bottom of my heart!

During my 1st ivf I also had uneven folicle growth, resulted in only 2 immatired eggs. I thought it was my fault I didn't react properly to the treatment. My doctor didn't plan to change the next stimulation which surprised me. I started to read forums, found out there are different protocols that could be tried to sinchronise the uneven folicle growth. My question is - were all your ivf stimulations the same (except the last ones with the new, younger doctor)?

Hi Hellyn, to lessen the pain from injection. You could numb the area with an ice pad. So, you won't feel hurt.

Wishing you all the best ❤

Hi Hellynn, wishing you the best of luck. Even when things feel impossible , good news might be just around the corner. Sending good thoughts your way. ❤

i tried NAC, it improved my egg quality

Tracks FSH too? Interesting

How did u lower your fsh?

Abaayo Nafisooy waa runtaa, walaashey gabdhaheda mid ayaa weeyn midna waa ay ka yartahay, hadii ay isla istaagaan waxaa islaadahay labo da oo isku xigaan ayaa u moodaa iskuma dhawo xitaa. Marka rayaan caruurteeda waa mataano oo iyada dhashey Cabaas na waa aabahood , waxii ka dhaxeeyo iyaga ma ogin.

Ugh, so sorry 😢 Please keep going I know it will happen! I still can’t believe after many retrievals and transfers, I’m finally 11 weeks pregnant. I’m 43 with DOR, untested embryos. 3 transferred, 1 implanted! I’m praying all goes well my whole pregnancy! Hugs to you! ❤

Does it only track fertility hormones? My hormones have been off for the past two months due to extreme detoxing.

Wishing you all the best! ❤

Its okay girl let it all out!!!! Its ok to be irritated 😊

Hello Hellynn, your story is very touching and your deterimation admirable, i appreciate this maybe unwanted but i wanted to say that my wife and myself were rejected by two IVF clinics/told only doing Donnar Eggs would be possible, due to low AMH and Low O reserve (and having Endo). We did our own research as everyone does on how to increase our chances and found a book, It starts with the Egg by Rebecca Fett, which goes into a whole range of things you can do to increase egg Quality, which we implemented, we increased Her AMH my Sperm/etc Markers and we now have two high quality Blasotsyts which we had been told by mulitple clinics was extremely imporbable. hope this helps my love and good luck x

If ua amh is 0.02 how are follicles growing, do u hve reguler periodd

You are right, there are many cases where an embryo tests mosaic or abnormal but self corrects during development. So if I was in your position and had a hard time making embryos, I would give a shot to any embryo that made it to the stage where it can be implanted and then would just deal with what ever situation arises as it arises.

Thank you

Please do a long video.... we like to listen to you

I have been through it and will do my 10th egg retrieval soon. Best of luck! ❤

Those struggling with ivf. I think best treatment is the one with aspirin and libido and pressures all together

Can you pls tell how many calories were you taking per day when your AMH rose ??

I had an embryo transfer 8 days ago. Wish me luck.

Talk to your doctor about the mini-IVF protocol. This focuses on getting the quality of the eggs where it should be vs overstimulation to get quantity of eggs. My RE, a Chinese man in New York uses the mini-IVF protocol on his older patients. Less injections, more oral medication to synchronize with the natural hormones developed by our brains, and yeah, way less eggs retrieved like 1 or 2 per cycle and bank them. At 44 and 45 years old they all fertilized and grew into day five/six blastocyst. I’m currently 34 weeks pregnant with one of them.

I’m glad that you’ve decided to continue with this journey despite your previously failed embryo transfers. I’m 45 and now I’m 34 weeks pregnant following my only transfer of two untested embryos back in early April. My baby is due next month. There is hope and you can definitely do this. Don’t give up - as you are strong and keep believing. I did a lot of acupuncture during the egg retrievals and days before the transfer of my two embryos. Only one of them continued, so I’m pregnant with a single baby boy!
