- What they don't tell you before starting IVF are the things I wish I knew! These things are so important to know before starting IVF; it's crazy to me what they don't tell you before starting IVF! There are already so many things you have to figure out on your own, but these things they don't tell you would have made my life a little easier going through the IVF process. If you are about to begin your IVF journey or you're thinking about doing IVF, watch this video first to inform yourself on what they didn't tell me before starting IVF so that you can be better prepared!
What they don't tell you before starting IVF are the things I've been wanting to tell you guys for awhile in hopes that it will help some of you journey a little easier through your IVF process. My clinic did a pretty good job informing me of the practical things before starting IVF like how to give the injections and my IVF calendar, but what they don't tell you before starting IVF is what I needed to know the most!
I hope this video is helpful for those of you about to start your IVF journey. Remember we are warriors and got this! This is the time to really take care of yourself and put yourself number one!

I'm 39 and just started my IVF journey yesterday, thanks for this video.

Thank you for your videos! They were very specific and truly inspiring! 10 yrs TTC here too, also in the medical field as you. Now prepping to go through IVF after a failed IUI! More vids! 🥰
Thank you so much for all this information Brittany! I’m 39 and getting ready to start my first IVF cycle. I’m returning to the infertility world after a 10 year hiatus. IVF was just too much for me to process back then, but like you said… I just don’t want to have any regrets. I’m very grateful for your willingness to share and I’m sending positive vibes your way. 🥰
You are so welcome and I’m so excited for you to finally start your IVF journey!❤️ Thank you for this sweet message; I’m so glad to hear this video helped you🤗 You got this girl! Sending you back positive vibes and all the baby dust to you. I pray this journey is an easy painless one and you get to hold your baby at the end of it💕 Best wishes to you!!
me too 39, with a very low amh value, still planning to start ivf
we had our transfers 9 days apart. i'm so sorry you struggled with PIO so much. the auto injector really worked wonders for me (my husband did them), so would highly recommend that to anyone in the future. i don't think i could've gotten through as many as i did without that. can't wait until your FET update, hopefully soon! 💛
Oh wow how cool is that!! I’m so glad to hear you didn’t struggle with yours. I hope your FET went well and I hope yours was successful!! Thank you so very much!❤️🤗
Man, this scares me. I'm 46 and we were only able to get one egg. I hope it's normal and not a bad egg. We transferred it yesterday, so we'll see what happens. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Congratulations on your transfer!!! Praying it sticks and sending all the baby dust your way as you wait.🙏💕
Have you been able to watch the video on how I took care of myself post embryo transfer? That video might help a little❤️
Hello
Update please
@@lydiahkaisha1424 It didn't attach. 😢 I'm in Egypt, and they don't do donor eggs. The doctor here thinks this was our best shot. 😢 💔
@@PawleyGirl hey I have only one embryo...its in the blatoçyst stage
No embryo transfer yet
I'm scared. Lol
@@lydiahkaisha1424 Prayers for you. May you have better luck than me. I hope it sticks and you end up with an amazing child. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you so much for this. I'm 38, transfer is in 30 days. We got 9 eggs in one retrieval and 2 are genetically viable. Lupron is rocking me hard right now. Hearing your experience helps. A lot.
Thank you so much for your honesty and videos! ❤ Bless you and your family !
Aww thank you and you are so welcome!!❤️
I also have to take two vials of menopur and never knew you could mix both vials to leasen injections. Thank you! This will be my third time doing IVF and had my baseline today. Prayers and baby dust to all of us 🙏🏽
Yes! Aw I’m glad I could help! Praying 3rd times the charm and you finally get your miracle!🙏 Sending you all the baby dust!💕💕
Thank you for the information. Im starting with IVF journey now… i don’t know what to expect, you gave me a lot of information. Im really scared of the hormonal and medications I will be taking… Im so afraid…
I'm 37 and starting soon, thanks for your videos.
Aww you are so welcome!! Sending lots of baby dust as you start your journey!💕 you got this!!
I’m 33 and this is my first IVF cycle I have PCOS so it’s kinda hard naturally. I did 2 IUI’s and both failed. So to not waste any more money we decided to do IVF. I haven’t started taking all the meds yet but really happy I came on the video so I know what to expect.
Praying IVF is finally your answer and you get your miracle too!!🙏💕 I’m so glad you’re finding the videos helpful, really means a lot to me!! You got this girl!❤️
I'm doing my last IVF cycle right now, so none of this is news to me, but I'm so thankful to hear someone else saying what I've felt for so long. It can be a really lonely process and watching your video made me feel that I'm not alone, and that I'm not crazy for being in so much discomfort at times. So thank you for making it ❤
I’m so happy I can be a validating voice for you!! I think that’s so helpful and key to feeling like you’re not alone. Praying for only success for you this time around!!🙏💕💕
I’m thinking of starting this journey as well. I’m 36 and my husband and I are having trouble. Thanks for sharing your journey and being so candid. This has been very helpful to me!
Aww I’m so glad you found this video helpful!❤️ whether or not you decide to do IVF, sending lots of baby dust your way and praying you finally get your miracle too🙏💕
You got this! 👏🏽🫶🏽
I’m about to start this process and I was happy to hear you talk about the mental toll I have questioned myself the same.
Yeah I think everyone is a little different, but I’m finding out we all have some degree of anxiety and fight mental battles going through this process. So keep taking good care of yourself, especially your mind! Sending you lots of a baby dust as you begin your journey💕 you got this!!
@@brittany_elizabeth_rn thank you! You are the first person to say this to me and it means a lot.
I’m on day 2 of drugs for the egg retrieval. Thanks for sharing your story and the encouragement. There is no metal preparing from the clinic! 🤗
Yay for egg retrieval!! You got this! Praying you get lots of eggs and healthy embryos. And you are so welcome🤗
Yes 💯 agree! No one prepares you for the mental part of it all.
And you are so welcome!❤️
Did you have any side effects on the medication I’m getting ready to start mine soon
I am 41 and will begin my first cycle of IVF. Thanks
Sending lots of baby dust your way as you being your journey!💕
So stupid/ an easy way / have sex with a man / the normal way/ close the case
Hi, how did he go ? I am 42 and starting, I am a bit worry
Thank you so much for uploading these tips! I’m 33 about to start The IVF process.
You are so welcome and I’m so glad you’re finding them helpful!!❤️ Sending lots of baby dust your way as you start your IVF journey!💕 You got this girl!
Agree... the mental health is harder to cope than physical health recovery...
Yeah sad but true. And even more reason for the professionals to warn us ahead of time and have some therapies in place to help. I hope you are doing well!❤️
Starting our journey soon. Very nervous, but praying 🙏 Thank you
Praying for nothing but the best for you! Sending lots of baby dust!💕💕
Hi Brittany!
Hope your FET gone well 🤞🍀🐣🌈
I agree with you, I'm a IVF warrior too 😊I'm sorry for your struggle with PIO injections😖
I've done my FET on July 20 in Italy and I used Pleyris, progesteron subcutaneous injections, not so bad!
Maybe you can ask your fertility doctor if they are the same. For me worked really well! 😊
Waiting for your good news🤗 thanks for sharing your story! 🙏
Hi! Wow I’ve never heard of that medication! I wonder if it’s not as easily available here in the states?🤔 Because that would have been a GAME CHANGER for me!! Thank you so much for sharing because that’s really good to know there are other options when it come to the PIO injection. I’ll definitely look into it!
And you are so welcome and thank you so very much for your sweet message❤️ Yes here’s to fellow IVF warriors!🙌🏻🥰
I'm so jealous of Italy! I've been reading about subcutaneous progesterone injection options in other countries (such as Prolutex/Lubion, currently in 32 countries and in phase 3 clinical trials in the US). I wonder if Pleyris is the same. Feels like the US is so slow in some of these areas!
Anxiously awaiting your embryo transfer update ❤️ but yes take your time, we understand
Yeah I know you all are so sweet and gracious!🥰❤️ Thank you so very much!🤗
Wishing everyone happiness in this comment section. Keep the hope going
Aww thank you THANK YOU!!🤗🤗
So glad you filmed this video! I’m 35 and currently in my first Ivf stimulation cycle, praying for some good quality eggs! Also can’t wait to hear your pregnancy/FET results, I have a good feeling ❤️🤞🙏
I’m so glad you found this video❤️ Praying that all goes very well for you! Sending you all the positive vibes and baby dust💕 You got this girl! And thank you so very much🥰
Do i need to take time off from work during the whole egg retrieval period?
Thank you so much for this video. I have endometriosis and I am starting the IVF treatment in two days. Praying to God I have the courage to go through all this. I am 26 btw. Doctor said that's my only advantage.
You are so welcome!❤️ I’m so sorry you already have to go through this; sending lots of baby dust as you begin your IVF journey. You got this girl!! You can do it!💕
Hi
Have you tried to learn deeper about your natural self instead of simply believing what your doc said.
Do you know how a woman conceives naturally and what your own differences are…
Have you spoken to a natural family planning practitioner, hope you know natural family planning is also used to achieve pregnancy.
I am your age and got a bit worried with your comment.
You could reply on here I would check your reply
@@chikamarajane-agnes6304 I haven't heard of anything you mentioned in the comment. But right now I am taking Ayurveda medicine which promises a natural conception. What is a natural family planning practitioner?
Any update?
I’m 25 turning 26 in December going into our first ivf in January 2024
Love your kitty cat behind ❤.
Aww haha thank you!!❤️
I had my egg retrieval last month, Im schedule for transfer this month..Praying for a successful ivf journey..May God bless us our healthy little bundle of joy🥰🥰
Yes!! Praying for both of us this month!!
🙏🙏💗💗 We got this!
I might have to do ivf… this honestly scares the crap out of me i feel very discouraged… i have a hard time enough with a pap… the process sounds beyond scary ugh you are so tough.. i wish you all the best
I'm an IVF dad, now divorced. My main concern is that many times there is no counseling or support recommended for couples counseling OR for the dad. Feelings of being a sperm donor and ATM are prevalent in the IVF dad discussion groups I've seen. The other aspect is the hormonal swings in IVF (Lupron etc) are downplayed.
Thank you so much for sharing and such a valid point!! Fortunately I didn’t experience the effects of the hormonal shifts but MANY women do and don’t know how to handle the emotions and then the spouse gets the brunt of it. Yes!! Counseling!! I don’t know why this isn’t talked about ahead of time! IVF is so hard on the relationship, and there’s definitely not enough support. Thank you so much for sharing the perspective of the male partner
Thank you you make this video!!! I’m 35 and I did ivf i get 20 and 12 are mature I was not lucky that also the doctor tell me .please every one wish me luck i start the second around today 😊
You are so welcome! Sending all the baby dust and good vibes your way as you start your second round!💕🤗 You got this girl!!
Moral aspect is tough. I’m
Going on second transfer and wondering how many I can mentally go through but we have 9 embryo still and I feel like I owe it to them to try for each one. But what happens if none stick? I so wish as someone with high antral follicle count this was a part of the education. Now I’m stuck with these really hard decisions. I didn’t know all the meds for FET either lol they only educated me on the stim cycle! Why?! Hahah… My heart goes out to anyone going through this 💕 you’re all strong!
You are the sweetest and bravest human to share all of this!! It’s truly AMAZING you have so many embryos because most people face the disappointment of not having enough. So I never thought of the other side of it…what do you do with too many embryos??
I’m so incredibly sorry your first transfer failed. I pray your second one is a success and you are holding your little one in no time💕
All I can say is one thing at a time, one step at a time. All you can do is what you CAN do.
Mentally I cope with reminding myself that none of us really know what’s right and what’s wrong when it comes to these things. Some of us THINK we know because we have our beliefs, but that’s all that they are, BELIEFS.
Keep doing what’s best for YOU and your partner. Keep loving on yourself and life has a funny way of working itself out. You got this girl! Never forget that you are a testimony to others and you are worth it!!❤️
My meds are the worse for me emotionally and mental health with IVF was so hard so agree
I’m glad we can talk about this! Thank you so much for sharing!❤️ I hope you’re hanging in there and doing ok now!💕
Thank you for sharing
You are so welcome!❤️
Thank you for this info !! I'm going through IVF to have gender selection baby girl because baby #4 was boy #4 😂 nd Im like ok I'm done I'm going through IVF for next nd I needed this type of advice and experience video.
Aww I’m glad you found the video helpful! Sending lots of baby dust as you continue on your journey and hope you get the gender you’re hoping for ❤️
Getting ready to start our IVF journey. A little scared. Only planning on one egg retrieval. Bloodwork seems to indicate we'll get what we need from one. But I'm worried they will all be abnormal. Not looking forward to the shots. We have a nurse friend and we're thinking about having a get together to practice the shots! 😂
It’s so normal to be scared and nervous! So let yourself feel all the feels and give yourself lots of grace❤️ it’s a scary process, but I know you can do it! And what a great idea to have your nurse friend help you, yay! Remember one shot at a time, one day at a time, one thing at a time…and before you know it it will all be over and hopefully you’ll have you’re little miracle too💕 you got this girl!!
I'm so proud of you!!!!
Awww thank you Sam!!!🤗❤️
nice video, def. helps. im almost 44 and planning for a IVF with donor egg. im in india right now - from germany. i think the cost in india is less. the doctors here are amazing. my husband is indian. it will probably be hard to find a fair donor here tho hehe... i hope all goes well and all the best to you continuosly 🥰
I’m so glad you found this video helpful!! Praying IVF is successful for you over there; that’s so great it’s a little cheaper❤️
Sending lots of baby dust your way as you continue on your journey
@@brittany_elizabeth_rn awwww❤️❤️❤️❤️kisses
Thank you for sharing all this info. Today I am going to my third ivf and I’m so excited for that🎉❤😊 my question is what supplement did you take besides pre natal vitamins and folic acid? ….. Thank you 😊
Here’s a link to two supplement videos I did. The first one is what I took specifically for my FET and the second one is all the supplements I took through my entire IVF journey.

Sending you all the baby dust as you start your third cycle. Third time’s the charm!!💕🤗❤️
Thank you for sharing your story. I'm going to be 37 when I start my journey but my mom had kids until she was 38 (she had me at 36). I'm hoping my eggs are reflective of hers. I always wonder if that matters.
I’m so sorry for my delayed reply!
I’m not sure, but I hope that egg quality is genetic so if it is, hopefully yours will be just like hers!🙏💗
Sending all the baby dust your way as you start your journey💕 You got this!!
Ivf was long and drawn out, i only got 2 embryo and transferred 2 frozen embryos, we didn't have 4,000 for gentic testing. Pregnancy test was positive but hormone level on the lower side each pregnancy test. It was discouraging that ended in a painful miscarriage. All the money for medication gone down the drain.😢😢😢😢😢.
I’m incredibly sorry; I have no words to describe how sorry I am💔
Do you have a plan to move forward? Will you try again??
Take good care of yourself girl! And allow yourself to feel all the feels
May be we will try again, I am 41 i don't know how much eggs i have left?? After my retrival??
Very helpful video. Thanks so much for sharing this.
I’m on day 8 of my IVF cycle and by myself learning everyday. I hate needles so much so I’m crying daily. I can’t wait for this to be done. Your comment on “playing God” really hit me because I, too, struggle with this. Anyways, I’m going to remain positive.
39 yo, first time IVF girly, 16 x follicles so far and I’m praying for good healthy embryos.
Ohh thank you so much for sharing and I’m so glad the video was helpful!!
Sounds like you’re making good progress! And you’re almost done!👏 The shots are so hard but you got this girl! Praying for a smooth and successful egg retrieval for you🙏 Sending lots and lots of baby dust!💕💕
Yeah, the progesterone killed me. Not just the intramuscular pain, but it completely messed with me internally. Horribly constipated (didn’t have a proper poop for a month), such sore boobs it hurt to walk, cramps that made me think I was pregnant, all that pain and discomfort and I had a perfect embryo 4AA grade, perfect endometrial thickness, and still not pregnant. I definitely don’t think I can go through this again, devastated that I’ll never have children.
I’m SOOO sorry girl!!!😭 WOW you’ve been through a lot and I’m just so sorry! Thank you so much for sharing❤️❤️
Out of curiosity, did you do genetic testing on your embryo?
Yup, did genetic testing too. It was euploid. I really thought it would work. Still have no idea what went wrong. Clinic didn’t didn’t say anything that could have gone wrong.
Hi Brittany, your videos are awesome! They really help. I am about to undergo an IVF cycle, and I am losing it. Completely overwhelmed by anxiety and fear. Super afraid of painful procedures like egg retrieval, all the possibilities of how it can go wrong and most of all pain afterwards. My clinic already said they are not going to prescribe powerful pain meds and I have to rely on Tylenol or Advil. How was the pain for you? How was recovery? How long did the pain last? And did you have good meds to deal with it. Thank you so much for your work and all your videos.
Hi! And all normal feelings!! It’s a big deal to start IVF and everyone handles it differently. Everyone has a little bit of a different medicine protocol as well. I can only speak from my own experience but from many women I’ve talked to, the shots and the egg retrieval surgery were not as bad as they thought. Honestly the harshest part is keeping your mind healthy and positive
Yes things can go wrong because it’s considered surgery but the egg retrieval process is very routine now so the likelihood something will go is very slim. Also they go through the vagina so no incisions are made. I had very slight cramming right after but not enough to take anything not even Tylenol. It’s not supposed to be a painful surgery
One step at a time and one shot at a time. You got this girl!!
And you are so welcome!❤️❤️
I consived naturally, but I am also 32, going to be 33 later this year. I remember the first trimester. It was annoying due to hormones changing. But it seems like you have to go through the hormonal crazy period no matter of you conceive naturally or not.
Congratulations on your pregnancy!! And yes, no matter how you get pregnant most women experience the awful first trimester symptoms
I just started and this journey is so emotional. All I do is cry most days.
It definitely is very emotional!! I’m so sorry you have to go through this. Keep taking care of yourself and your mind. This is the time to be selfish and put yourself first before anyone. Sending lots of positive energy your way!💕💕
I’m 34 and had excision surgery in December for stage 4 endometriosis, and had a bowel resection. We tried for a year prior to surgery, and it’s 2 months post op, and my pains back already. We just decided to be aggressive and go straight to ivf, my insides were glued together and it was a 5 hour surgery. It’s just not worth the pain and suffering I have to drag it out even longer.
I’m so so sorry girl!!! That’s awful!!😭😮💨
Yeah I’m with you, go for IVF! Especially because you’ve already tried for a year prior. Plus I was 34 when I started my IVF journey and now I’m 36 and considered advanced maternal age. Unfortunately IVF can also take time so yeah, go for it girl!
Keep taking good care of yourself and praying you completely heal fast! Sending all the baby dust your way as you begin your IVF journey💕
I'm in a similar position as you! Stage 4 endo and insides glued together. Originally I was on the waiting list to get surgery done then was going to do IVF afterwards, but the doctors suggested I no longer doing the surgery and just jump into IVF journey so today is my 3rd day on IVF. Sorry to hear that the pain is back :(
Me too, I have endo stage 4 and I lost an ovary because of it. Im terrified. My endo is so bad now, I am so tired and have pain daily. I am terrified and really second guessing myself with this journey.
Thanks for sharing. Agree with the embryo testing: it helps you reduce miscarriages. But: (1) it does disregard embryos that could work (second genetic advice super necessary) and (2) genetically testing is no warranty for a healthy baby. And this is very important to remember. In week 16 my genetically healthy baby boy showed up without kidneys. Please be aware that there are malformations that are not genetic and those we are all exposed to
Ohhhh very interesting!!! And I’m so incredibly sorry that happened!!!!
Thank you so much for sharing! I’m constantly learning too❤️
Genetic testing definitely helps with decreasing chances of an unhealthy baby / miscarriage! Of course we can’t control all aspects, but what we can control I highly recommend!
Hi.Thank you for sharing. Roughly, how much does the entire process cost?
It depends on your treatment and if your insurance covers it
For the first round, how many eggs were frozen to create 2 embryos?
Did you and your partner have individual genetic testing done prior to starting IVF? And if so, did you still opt to do the PGT with your embryos?
We did both! My fertility clinic required us to do genetic testing before starting IVF. PGT testing on the embryos is different…it tests for chromosomal diseases like Down syndrome and Turner’s syndrome that doesn’t have anything to do with your own genetics. Highly recommend doing both if you have a choice
I'm so behind 😢😢😢 wish I knew about this 6 years ago
But now you know!🤗
I'm 38 and just found out that I cannot have baby naturally. Now have to do IVF. 😢
I’m incredibly sorry!! I’m glad you found this community to lean into🤗 You got this girl!!❤️
Did you have the generic counseling before you started everything? I think down is something they test for .
My husband and I both had genetic screening done before we started IVF. And then once we got our embryos they were all genetically tested for things like down syndrome
We were not offered any genetical testing for embryos. "If it look good we implant it"
First time for us. 36 years old, looks like doctors here are taking chance.
Yeah every clinic is different and recommends different things. So if your clinic is recommending you transfer without PGT, then that’s what you do. Praying for a successful transfer!🙏🙏💗
Hello. Which ivf did you hi through? Mild, natural? . Thank you for the video
Hi! I’m not sure what you mean? Will you clarify a bit? And you are so welcome!❤️
❤
I got a scar from doing this, will it go away?
7:15 in Germany we have to accept this black-box -Effect and have transfer wit no testing of the embryos :(
Oh interesting! I wonder why?
@@brittany_elizabeth_rn apparently it’s a low to protect life / embryos 🤷
Did the trigger shot bother you?
No not at all☺️
Now when IVF is chosen can you have eggs be donated?
Yes! I’m not familiar with the process tho, but I know it can be done❤️
My mum had my sister naturally at 42 lol
That’s so great!!
my great grandma has had her last child at 47!
Try listening to simran to meditate👌🏼
Ok I’ll look into that!
And do you have to do 2 cycles I'm 36 almost 37
No everyone is so different! I know that the older you are, the quality of eggs go down. Was 35 when I did my first cycle. Even tho I got 53 eggs, I only got 2 normal embryos so I ended up doing a second cycle. But it’s going to depend on how many embryos you get from your first cycle. I hope this helps!
@@brittany_elizabeth_rn love u thanks!
How did your embryo transfer go? I hope and pray everything went well 🙏🙏🙏
The procedure itself went well! I’m not sharing me pregnancy result just yet. I will soon when I’m ready. Thank you so very much!!❤️🤗
The most important question is what will u do with remaining embryos. Dispose of them??
I have 2 left and I’m saving them for future use🥰
@@brittany_elizabeth_rn ok good. What if u won't use them though? Plus I couldn't personallysleep if I knew2 of my embryos were in a deep freeze. I just can't. It's be much more ethical if thy only created 1 embryo at a time. I'd freeze eggs and sperm seperately but not actual embryos.
@@SuperLuckao I’m going to try very hard to use them, if not, I’m going to have to donate them to science
@@SuperLuckao thank you for sharing your perspective, that’s always helpful for me to know different viewpoints❤️ And I understand where you’re coming from. Im just not sure how one can control how many eggs and embryos retrieved. Your body is going to react to the meds in a certain way you really can’t control. One egg or embryo at a time is pretty unrealistic unfortunately. So I got a few and that was out of my control. So I’ll do my best to use them.
Just keep in mind that your beliefs are YOUR beliefs. We are all entitled to our beliefs and viewpoints💕
@@SuperLuckao also freezing eggs and sperm separately is fine until you’re ready to create embryos. Sometimes that slow timeline doesn’t work in every situation
I did not grow religious but also feel weird doing all of this. I also feel like playing God.
Yeah I’ve felt the same way…but who honestly knows what’s spiritual right. We need to do what’s best for our lives❤️
I think the part that really bothers me is that when there are extra embryos they are either destroyed or just sent off into an eternal banking system. Additionally the idea of people selecting genetic traits that they would prefer…which is allowed in some countries boarders on eugenics.
Hmm relatable
please how much does it cost to have an IVF i and my wife are thinking of having one
It depends on your treatment and if your insurance covers it
I am about to do my egg retrieval next week and this is my first cycle! I am 43 and scared!
Please don't be scared. Enjoy the process for your mini you. It will end up in praise.
You got this!! Praying it’s smooth and successful💕🙏
Any update?
How is it going?
How much cost?
What about price flights it's a lot of money a lot
Yes typically
When a woman begins her cycle, will see be ON call with the hospital /nurse ?
I’m not sure what you mean?
Hello I’m Sasha . Is there a way I can have a word with you . I am about to start my ivf journey
Hi Sasha! Nice to meet you❤️
You are more than welcome to ask me any questions you have about IVF and I’ll do my best to answer them.
Sending you lots of love and baby dust as you start your journey!!🤗💕

2 things i wish i knew HSG and hysteroscopy 😱😅
I did an HSG in Jan and just did a saline sonohysteroscopy/transfer trial yesterday. I have a retroverted uterus so it makes it difficult for them to get through my cervix and they have to move it around a lot to get it in because of the weird angle and it hurt SO MUCH. I'm sore 22hrs later still and now after seeing all the shots/egg retrieval process, and the shots/transfer process/shots until pregnancy test/after a pregnancy I'm just like "WTF did I get myself into?!"😬😅
@@sabriannakendall9405 haha thats where i am am at the shots for egg retrieval now 😅😋 thinking of doing a what to expect vidio if everything goes well now am just injecting till Friday then of to the dock and finding out the next step.... I was so silly i always just thought like a little sonar and then a injection or 2 and boom a baby is made i was so so so so wrong 😅😂
I just saw these comments now!😃 I’m a little behind lol.
Yeah it’s crazy what they don’t tell you! I felt like I was surprised with new information every step of the way. That’s why I needed to make this video highlighting the key things that effected my journey, but there’s definitely more! All great points!
Sending my love as you go through your IVF journey and never hesitate to reach out!❤️🤗
@@brittany_elizabeth_rn thank you so much am in my 2 week wait now and tested today its 7 days past transfer i got a negative thou so traying not to stress while stressing
@@ShereeOliver I strongly encourage you to stop doing home pregnancy tests until after your pregnancy blood draw. There’s reasons why they tell you not too (at least my clinic did) For one, it’s pretty early to test, only 7 days is normally not enough time for your HCG levels to be high enough to test positive on a home test. Also if you’re taking estrogen or progesterone, those hormones can also give you a false negative.
Just wait. I know it’s literally the hardest thing ever! But just wait until the blood draw which is the most sensitive and accurate pregnancy test this early in the game.
Sending you lots of love your way! Praying your precious embryo sticks! Don’t lose hope, try not to stress. You got this girl!!💕
How old are you & hubby?
I am 36 and my hubby just turned 39❤️
May I ask regrading the eggs were found with down syndrome. Is that a common genetic in your family or was that due to just eggs being older?
No I have no family members with Down syndrome. The embryologist told me it has to do with poor quality eggs (my age plays a factor in that) so yeah eggs being older is what I was told
I think it's age related - under 40 chances are small,but 1/30 I believe by early 40s

Hello Fellow Human Beings. While People in the US are struggling to have kids there are kids in Gaza/Palestine that are under constant Bombing by "Israëli" Forces, innoncent children who did nothing to deserve what they're going through. Till the moment more than 700 Kids(1 months old, 1 year olds and more) have passed away. Please Speak up against what is happening, Is this the world you want your children to grow up in ? You speaking up today against the Genocïde commited by "Israël" in the moment you're reading this comment will pave the way for your kids to live in a world that aknwoledges that all lives matter. Lives of Palestinian Kids are Valuable Too.
Americans try to adopt those children but we are turned away. Muslim countries do not allow adoption into non Muslim families. It’s the Muslim governments keeping these kids in poverty and distress. We tried to adopt and were willing to adopt siblings so kids could stay together. First after the earthquakes then after the Gaza war started. Both times we were shut down because Muslims would rather have their kids die than have a perfect life with wealthy non Muslim families 💔 If any agency is actually allowing adoption please give me the name.
children are a blessing, if GOD said no how can you override this and play a god?
Haha interesting perspective, but I like that..thank you!❤️
@@brittany_elizabeth_rn adoption is a great option. you are putting your body and mind thru pain that is not normal but hey if you like it i love it ....
@@brittany_elizabeth_rn IVF or whatever is not biblical.... that is genetic modification...all of your food is not gmo but your baby is gmo. Frankenstein. lol
@@alesialove9984 ok so I have to respond to this comment; this is totally incorrect! I need to reply because I know others read the comments. IVF is a scientific method used to get pregnant and that’s it! My egg and my husband’s sperm were put together just like if you were to get pregnant the natural way. Instead of the embryo forming inside me, it formed in a lab first, and then it was implanted. There’s absolutely no gmo about that whatever, just wanted to make that clear! My son is just as human as any other baby boy
@alesialove9984 I think God would be more disappointed in you being so judgmental. Shame on you. Maybe God helped create this technology to help people become parents. Either way you are a sick person calling a child Frankenstein, practice what you preach
