Recently, I've been focused on IVF. I share my infertility journey in hopes of supporting other women. I also enjoy posting effective home workouts, nutrition facts, and healthy lifestyle tips that have helped me live a healthier life. I absolutely love connecting with you guys as we navigate life's challenges.
About my channel:
My name is Brittany and welcome to my channel where I share everything I know about health, fitness, nutrition, and how I lead a balanced lifestyle while working as an Operating Room Nurse. In addition, I'm passionate about sharing my infertility story and current IVF journey. Balancing living healthy with going through IVF is not easy, so I want to share it all in hopes of supporting other women.
I just had my 8th transfer last week and found out yesterday that it worked and I’m pregnant. It’s still early but very happy and excited. Keep me in your prayers that everything stays good and my tests keep getting darker. Love ya girl
Oh wow that is incredible!!!! Praying your little one keeps sticking and that you will finally have your miracle!🙏🙏 Keep me posted as to what happens. In the meantime, take extra good care of yourself!❤️❤️
Thank you for for taking the time to make these videos and for sharing your journey with us. It has helped me so much. ❤❤ I’m 45 years old, have 5 frozen embryos from 3 different egg retrieval cycles, and now so excited to prepare for the start of my FETs next month. I followed some of your tips and praying for one of them to lead to a successful pregnancy and live birth! Not sure if you’re familiar with the mini IVF protocol (way less medications given to maximize quality of eggs), but apparently it is highly effective for women over 40! This was my protocol 😊😊😊. Will update in a few months. I’m mentally preparing for possibly having multiple FETs, but extremely positive and realistic about it all considering the age factor.
Aww thank you so much for sharing!! This is so encouraging, especially for older women! I’ve never heard of a mini IVF protocol; how interesting!! Yes keep us posted as to what happens❤️❤️ praying the first transfer sticks!🙏🙏 Quinn sends you lots of baby dust too🥰💕
Nice to see you back! Your videos have been so helpful for me during my IVF journey. I would love to see why IVF pregnancies are higher risk.
Oh I’m so glad!!🥰 yeah I’m definitely going to be doing a video on that topic and will prob be the next one❤️
I really love your videos. I just had my first IVF cycle cancelled after not responding at all to the stim meditations. I am 40 with high FSH ☹️
I'm glad to see you back! Your channel was so helpful to me 2022-2023. I had my FET 2/2/23 and had welcomed my daughter in October. Your video idea sounds fantastic. My doctor said she doesn't let IVF pregnancies go to 40 weeks but never said why. I had a c-section at 39.
Huge congratulations!!! Yeah I’m definitely planning on doing this topic for the next video because I’ve gotten a lot of interest already❤️ thank you so much for sharing and hang in there with baby, it gets easier I promise!🙏
I just found your channel and have been watching your videos like crazy as my husband and I prepare for our first IVF cycle. I’d love to see a video about any kind of research you’ve come across regarding PGA testing. I’m currently researching all about that myself. God bless you and your fam!!
Aww welcome to the channel and to the family!!❤️❤️ Let me know if you have any specific questions on PGA testing. We had our embryos all PGA tested and it was so worth it!! A genetically abnormal embryo is one of the mains reasons why transfers fail. Many people get confused with grading and PGA testing; it’s too separate things. The grade is just telling you the quality of the embryo where the PGA testing is looking at the chromosomes making sure there are the right amount (so no Down syndrome) and looking at the genetics making sure there are no genetic diseases. Normally you have to pay extra for PGA testing but it’s so worth it in my opinion!!
Praying for the very best for you as you start your journey!! Also Quinn sends you lots of baby dust💕💕
Hi Brittany Elizabeth and all! I’m 6 weeks postpartum and you channel helped me get through those doubtful moments. So happy to know you’re moving along this year with the next pregnancy.
Due to my age, I want to have my next pregnancy soon so fingers crossed, and God willing in a few months time I’ll get to start the journey once more!
Aww I’m so glad the videos have helped you!!🥰 and huge congratulations on your little one!!💕 And thank you so very much! I hope for the same for you💗
Quinn just melts my heart! He's beautiful, wonderful, perfect!!💕 Seeing you interact with him confirms you are meant to be a mom...and he is so happy & content. You're a terrific mom!😍 Please keep taking care of yourself, your family and your marriage. These are your treasures (I'm certain you know this). Your mission on TH-cam is honorable and very valuable. But. Your decision to prioritize family over social media is the right one. Sending lots of love to you and your family.✌️😌❤️
Thank you thank you so much for your sweet words and for writing all of this to me!!😭❤️ This means so much!!
Yes! My family is my top priority, and sometimes it’s hard to know what to do so thank you so much again!🥰
Welcome back! I feel like I'm following 9 months behind you in the same journey. I'm excited to see how #2 is different from #1 after having a little more experience. Best of luck!❤
Aww yay and congratulations to you!! Yeah I’m also excited and praying lol 💗🙏
I just thought about you. I fallowed your during my ivf process and I took a break since I had the miscarriage. Now I am getting ready for my fet#2 praying and getting back to this would of ivf. Keep me in your prayers ❤
I will definitely pray #2 is successful for you!! I’m happy to hear you’re trying again. You got this girl!🙏❤️❤️
Good to have u back Brittany. Your videos have helped me a lot last year when I started my ivf process. Now I’m awaiting transfer. 🙏🏽 I would like to know where did u get your ivf candle?
Thank you and I’m so glad!!❤️❤️ my best friend got the candle for me. I’ll try to find the link as others are also asking for it. Praying your transfer is successful!🙏🙏
Thanks for making these videos Brittany! ❤ it makes me feel less alone in infertility and have hope
Aww I’m so very glad I can help and that you feel less alone❤️❤️ I’m always here if you need to say anything. Wishing the best for you girl!🙏
Keep an eye out for the recalls on those pouches. I started making my own food for my 6 month old and its really not that time consuming. It makes a lot for the freezer so it lasts a long time 😊
Yes! We do that too!! It’s just so much easier for me to feed him pouches when I’m short on time like this day when I was filming. We mostly make our own but in a pinch, especially for the lunch feeding, this saves me time and mess when I need to get the lunch over in a timely manner. There is always so much going on during the day!
Hi Brittany! So happy to see your video and your face! I don't have Instagram so I was just hopeful everything was alright. Glad you took some time for yourself and your little family!
I am currently 32 wks along! So thankful to be saying that and my perinatal drs have told me I won't be going full term. They explained that recent studies have showed an increased risk of stillbirth in IVF babies after 39 wks. That the placenta just doesn't last as long and stops working. So I will be induced, pending everything else going well (they are monitoring me closely for pre-eclampsia) sometime btwn 38-39 wks. I'm good with that though, just bring my sweet baby boy into this world!
Can't believe your little one is almost one! What an exciting milestone!
Looking forward to your upcoming videos! Take care! ~Brittney
HUGE congratulations girl!!! And it’s so great to hear from you!! 32 weeks YAY!!!! Isn’t that so interesting?! I was told similar information from my OB and maternal fetal medicine doctor. It seems to all boil down to the placenta; the placenta is the problem in IVF babies. They told me my preeclampsia was related to the placenta as well. They’re still trying to figure out why that is
I’m excited to further research this and tell you guys what I find!
Anyways, I’m so happy for you and keep me posted as to what happens. Hang in there as you get ready for baby! You got this!! Praying he comes safely into this world and that your labor is smooth, and everyone stays healthy.🙏❤️
So excited for you. I'm saving money for adopting an embryo.
Have you thought about making your own baby food with organic veggies? It saves money and also some baby foods were in the news for contaminants. Get a baby food blender and ....it's easy . My sister switched to making her own baby food after news came out about pre made baby food companies.
God bless and good luck! Also, coconut and walnuts are really good for breast milk nutrition.
Yes actually we do both! We make our own most of the time but for lunch it’s just so much easier to feed him a pouch. These are all organic and the ingredients are wholesome. Just saves me a lot of time in the middle of the day when Yuma is at my feet begging for his walk and there’s always a lot going on during the day. We feed him homemade foods for dinner. Thank you so much for sharing!❤️❤️
Yes I eat walnuts every day but didn’t know about coconuts! So good to know!
Highly recommend the “Your Needle Guide Assistant”! You can do it or Your husband can do it for you and it hurts a lot less.
Thank you for your recommendation!❤️❤️
Thank you for making these videos. I will be starting IVF with my next cycle after having 2 miscarriages last year. A “normal” boy at 13 weeks and a girl with Turner syndrome at 9 weeks 💔 hoping this path will increase my chance of success. I am 37. My insurance won’t cover a second retrieval if I have any embryos to use. I have diminished ovarian reserve and doctor thinks I may only have 1 embryo to test 😢 scared to try naturally again. Thank you for talking about this topic! This is an isolating journey for me.
You are definitely not alone my friend! Thank you so much for sharing❤️❤️ I’m so proud of you for pushing forward despite all the massive loss you’ve already suffered. You are so brave!! Praying IVF is the answer to your dreams and you get to finally have your miracle too!!🙏 Also Quinn sends you lots of baby dust as you prepare to start🥰 You got this!💕💕
@@brittany_elizabeth_rn thank you 😢♥️
Wow, glad you're back.
Thank you!❤️❤️
I'm praying to get pregnant too....but my only chance is with embryo adopting. Glad this technology exists.
So glad this technology exists for both of us🥰🥰 praying yours is also successful!!🙏
Were you told anything about taking/increasing electrolytes during ivf stims? I see people talking about it, but my clinic never mentioned it…
I wasn’t told to take electrolytes and at the time I really liked drinking warm lemon water in the morning to help combat bloat from the stim meds. Now I know that putting electrolytes in water helps to hydrate you more so I definitely recommend incorporating electrolytes daily!
@@brittany_elizabeth_rn thank you 😊
