We both have the same name! I am also going through IVF and a single mom by choice! I was diagnosed with PCOS which has affected me greatly, but I am glad other black women are exploring their options
This video is just in time. I’m currently prepping for my transfer and my protocol is exactly like your first one. I’m on estradiol patches but 4 of them and then I’ll start progesterone and oil soon. Baby dust to you ❤️🙌🏾🙏🏾 I’ll be on the look out!!!
@@AliciaLatrice Thank you! My transfer was a success, but I had a miscarriage 😞 currently taking a break bc this was my second IVF cycle and been doing fertility treatments for like 2 yrs on and off. I’m not giving up I will get my rainbow baby ❤️
This has been something I’ve thought of doing for a little over a year and two weeks ago I finally started getting things rolling, with having first appointment with this journey being next week. Thank you for being an inspiration ✨
Thank you for sharing, this really helps other women.❤ I'm just preparing for my 3rd transfer, on 2mg eostrogen pills 3 times a day that you swallow. Really hoping this is it. First transfer was only a 3 day 8 cell, failed, 2nd transfer got pregnant with a 5 day blastocyst but was told it was a pregnancy in an unknown location, etopic. So hoping my SMBC journey happens soon.😊
Baby Dust girly ! I’m On 4 patches of estradiol and I start my PIO Shots Tomorrow Yayy lol , I have My FET in a couple days ❤️ wishing you the very best .
Hello Alicia! Thank you for your videos! I understood that it was your first successful IVF Cycle the first time. I was wondering how many embryos were transferred. I am going for my IVF this month and I am still undecided but would like to give myself the best chances. Thank you 🙏❤
Hi friend! Appreciate you so much for tuning in. That's correct, it was my first cycle and was a success with transferring only 1 embryo. I am preparing for my next transfer and hope to have it next week with only transferring 1 embryo again. You got this friend! Pray on it, do tons of research and trust the process. That precious baby is already YOURS 💫
Hi good evening . I have been watching your videos for the last few days and I want to start by saying thank you .. I’m now going thur my own ivf process and I also have pcos as well . Just like you for some reason my period have choose to come when every it choose which is super annoying .. I wanted to ask you .every time you did an transfer did you do PGS as well ??
Hey friend, thank you so much for watching. After I did my egg retrieval all of my embryos were PGS tested and frozen so each transfer was done with a tested embryo :)
Hey! We are working on our second transfer since the first one failed. We switched to estradiol injections but my levels are much higher than last time. Did your dr say where he wanted your lining and levels to be?
My estradiol and progesterone levels remained within the normal required range. However, he did mention my lining needing to be 8mm or thicker. I believe I was around 10.5mm
In Latin America and Mexico when trying to get pregnant women do not eat pineapple or drink it anything that is too kinda acidic just an FYI not sure that this is does anything but they just don’t not even when pregnant. This is what I was told lol since I am doing IVF too again not sure this is true.
Honestly, they are all old wives tales lol I felt it couldn't hurt to try. I of course also made sure to check with my RE to ensure there would be no concerns in doing so. 🤞🏾
was this your successful cycle. Because they put me on Birth control on day 3 of my period and had a 2nd period within 2weeks. Im so nervous I xfer on Oct 18
This was my second successful cycle, the first time my clinic forget to prescribe me birth control (it was still successful). My second and third transfer I was placed on birth control day 2 of my cycle. I also experienced two periods within a short amount of time and was informed it was normal. Sending sticky baby dust your way 🫶🏽
@@AliciaLatrice ok so this is normal. Ok my daughter was my 1st cycle of FET and it was successful under Birth Control but these last 2 failed with Birth Control. So I was curious. Hopefully 3rd time a charm.
Hey there - here is a detailed video on my cost for a full round of IVF here in Houston, TX. My personal insurance did not cover anything - th-cam.com/video/QGLSqMxi4Wc/w-d-xo.html
I am not entirely sure, it's all old wives tales tbh. I did it because it couldn't hurt to try and naturally better my chances, my RE also had no concerns with me doing so with my first transfer either.
I was on one patch that had to be changed every three days and orally taking estrace 2mg one time by mouth 3x a day. I was on it until I hit a certain amount of weeks in my pregnancy. It will be up to the doctor and the protocol they have you on.
She no longer was practicing at the facility closest to me and because I am a single mom and most visits are during the work day I couldn’t pull off driving to the downtown area. But I love my new RE as they both were my top runners when I started IVF

Please how much does it all cost and what insurance cover it if there is any.
Hey there - here is a detailed video on my cost for a full round of IVF here in Houston, TX. My personal insurance did not cover anything - th-cam.com/video/QGLSqMxi4Wc/w-d-xo.html
I thought pineapple was terrible for pregnant women because it contained bromelain? Bromelain, as I understand it, causes miscarriages?
I am not entirely sure, it's all old wives tales tbh. I did it because it couldn't hurt to try and naturally better my chances, my RE also had no concerns with me doing so with my first transfer either.
How much estradiol were u taking a day and for how long...
I was on one patch that had to be changed every three days and orally taking estrace 2mg one time by mouth 3x a day. I was on it until I hit a certain amount of weeks in my pregnancy. It will be up to the doctor and the protocol they have you on.
Why did you switch RE’s?
She no longer was practicing at the facility closest to me and because I am a single mom and most visits are during the work day I couldn’t pull off driving to the downtown area. But I love my new RE as they both were my top runners when I started IVF
How old is your first ?
He’s 9 months
How do you choose your donor?
