Awesome you guys made the injections look so easy. Thank you I needed to hear the words of encouragement end of the video rocked out. I was scared to start but hearing encouraging words my husband and I journey begins with this IVF. You guys rock I am sending much happiness to you both.
Oh Savannah we are so excited for you guys! you and your hubby will do awesome! It is a really rewarding experience to be able to do the journey together! If you guys need any support buddies, let us know, we would love to cheer you guys on!
I have loved watching your IVF videos! My husband and I are getting ready/saving up to do IVF starting in January. I feel like every other youtuber is "wo is me" about it, but your attitude helps me feel excited and grateful for the whole process! 🥰
Sarah, you are the sweetest! Thank you so much for your kind message! So exciting you guys are staring IVF in January! That will be here before you know it :) Sending lots of love and prayers your way!! If you ever need anything, or a support buddy, let me know.
Thank you so much for this. You are very encouraging. My husband and I will be starting our IVF journey at the end of this month and I have been scared, especially the injection part. Your videos really helped. Thank you for taking time to share your experience. I really pray for boy/girl twin 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Joeann, thank you for your sweet message and sharing with me. Congrats on starting IVF soon, that is exciting, nerve wracking and wonderful all at the same time! YOU GOT THIS!!!! You will do awesome with injections too! I found it was much more intense in my head than it really was. You will do awesome! sending lots of love and prayers your way!
I’m glad you showed feeling badly i was gonna say hurts don’t let anyone fool you! It burns so badly it’s insane. I dunno 🤷🏻♀️ why no videos actually say how bad it hurts. I wasn’t prepared because everyone seems like it’s “no big deal” maybe for some but I was insanely in pain 😢and only did one night and a was looking for videos to show the true process hoping I wasn’t the only one
I have faith that everything will work out for you in the end
Thank you so much! That means so much to us! We are feeling great and excited about everything!
Hi Kelsey! I'm just getting all caught up after missing a week and a bit. I'm *SO* excited to see the process coming on (&to have 3 more videos to watch from you guys!). I'm very happy that this part wasn't as hard as you'd feared it would be and are feeling more positive about diving into all this (- the treatment, not the baby part - I know you were fully onboard with that!). &so happy the heating pad is working out. I get bad hot flashes as well so I have my heat pads as well as a cooler size hard ice pack in a homemade flannel pouch everynight so I fully feel you on any temperature regulation issues! (Luckily I sleep alone so I look wacky to only those present!🙋, but even if I didn't I am fully committed to being fine looking like a lunatic with an abundance of heating and cooling apparatus on my bed and scattered about my room. I sleep much better for it :D ) I do hope yours turns out to be very temporary and isn't too too intense while you're going through this process.
I hope the extra vial of medication helps and bumps up the odds for you guys! That box did make it seem like you'd be pulling out something a bit larger from the inner envelope! They could've at least made it fun and cute by using russian nesting doll inspired envelopes to get to the package :)
I agree the drugs are worth the cost but I do wish so many of them weren't so pricey. I have one I was recommended and stands my best chance to see me out of bed again someday but it's about 50k-60k a year. I am nowhere close to being able to afford it and I'm too sick to have a job where I'd have or could save that kind of money. Which isn't great. So I get what you mean and even though you can swing the cost for the IVF I still wish these drugs you're buying (&all the others) were more affordable for you and everyone else.
Anyways, I hope you know what I mean on the drug price thing... I just so hate that the price of the medications isn't based on production costs, but what they think people will pay/feel it's worth to stay in good health/alive... sorry didn't mean to get all serious about this. More front of mind recently after being in hospital I suppose.
I'm heading to watch your other videos now so you'll probably hear from me again as I excitedly watch those! xx
Ps. I don't know if you've not filmed in your bedroom before or if I've just been super dumb and never paid attention but your room is so cute! I love the exposed brick, the headboard, and furniture - it looks exactly like a perfect room for lazy weekends, breakfasts in bed and all that. It's so cozy looking and perfectly styled for you guys. xx
Annie you are so sweet! I think this is the first time we have filmed our bed room! When we built our house I wanted a brick wall in our bedroom so bad and luckily we found a guy to come lay all the brick for us, and he did an awesome job!
I am with ya with the cost of meds. It is crazy how much they cost! I am so grateful for them, but they put a dent in the wallet! We took out a loan to do IVF, but we know it will be worth it in the long run! I am sorry there are some meds you need and are not able to have access too. Its pretty interesting how the medical system is set up!
Thanks for being so sweet and cheering us on! we really appreciate it so much!
thanks for showing how exciting wow ! my hands would be shaking
Jake did a great job! I am proud of him!
I appreciate how lighthearted the music is. I have to start this soon. I don't have any reproductive issues, but me husband does. What I do have is an anxiety disorder with panic and agoraphobia (which has gotten a million times better thank God). But around that time of the month the hormone changes give me anxiety. So I'm expecting that the injections will too. I can handle physical pain but the psychological stuff is the worst. Thanks for the vid
Hi Naomi, thank you so much for sharing with us! Hope injections go ok for you! We will be sending lots of love and prayers your way! YOU GOT THIS!!!!!!!!
Thinking of you guys!!! I’m so sorry you get nauseated with the shots Kelsey. Jake is so sweet with helping.
Awe thanks so much! Luckily the nausea only lasted a few days and doing much better now! wahoo!
Hang With The Bangs oh wonderful!!
good luck.. I'm glad all is going well
Thanks so much Denise! Really appreciate it!
Hey! I am getting ready to do IVF with that same clinic but I was so curious about that sticky pill you mentioned for the embryo transfer. What is it called? By the way, I’m so happy for your success story! It gives me so much hope. I can only imagine how hard it is/was to share your story but I’m so thankful that you did. I’m literal binge watching your vlogs now lol ❤️
Hang With The Bangs thank you so much!!!! I really appreciate all your help! ❤️
For sure! Sending lots of love and prayers for you guys on this exciting journey!
I would also love to know about this medication please!!
I’d love to know the name of the pill also as I am going through IVF right now. I am on day 4 of injections
Thank you for sharing this! 💙
Great. Have a nice evening. Greetings Adam 😎
Big like and support from London! 💗💗💗
good luck and god bless guys. doing great!
thanks so much!
I'm starting IVF soon, I found your channel really informative, thank you for sharing your journey. May I know what is that 500 dollar pill? When will you take it? Is it before the FET process?
oh I am so glad! So the $500 was for Neuopogen, I thought it was a pill when I got it (because of the packaging it came in) but it's actually an injection. It's something a doctor or nurse has to inject and they inject it into the uterus lining about 5 days before an embryo transfer. Here is a little more info about it as well: kelseybang.com/2020/02/4-things-that-made-a-difference-in-our-ivf-process.html
Love your videos so much! What’s the name of that medication you showed at the end that’s supposed to help stick the baby??
Nueopgen! Here is a blog post I did talking a little bit more about it if you want more info :) kelseybang.com/2020/02/4-things-that-made-a-difference-in-our-ivf-process.html

Merhaba iyi akşamlar 🌆🌇 güzel paylaşım 💝🎉💝
What’s the name of the recommended vial? The one that cost $500.
Nuepogen! Here is a blog post where I talk about it in more detail kelseybang.com/2020/02/4-things-that-made-a-difference-in-our-ivf-process.html
So each injection in one day are in the same spot
It depends on what medications and how many shots a doctor will have someone on. With us we switched sides each day for shots, but some people will have shots in the tummy and bum or one or the other depending on what meds.
Does it hurt
I guess it would depend on pain tolerance and how many injections, so I know it can be different for everyone. I was really surprised by injections and they did not hurt to bad, it was more my anxiety around them in the beginning. But overall it was so much better than I thought it would be.
