You are 10,000% correct! NOT comparing is key. It is great to be in the TTC community and have that connectedness. However I see women driving themselves crazy worried about other people’s numbers (eggs, FSH, AMH, AFC) and at the end of the day the only that matters is the numbers each of us have individually.
I'm glad I found your channel. My husband and I have been trying for 3 years. In 2017 found out we have male factor infertility. Hubby is supposed to be cleared either in oct or nov for us to start IVF I am beyond ready for this journey to end with us having a beautiful healthy child
Lisa rene Markus I totally understand. It’s an emotional journey but it can be so worth it! Sounds like you are going to be starting your IVF cycle soon. I wish you the absolute very best with it. I hope it gets you to your babies!
Thank you so much for sharing your infertility journey. I appreciate it so much. It has helped me manage through. You shared some very important IVF tips to remember. To help myself during the rollercoaster of 4 rounds I told myself no expectations and no predicting numbers and to just go with it and accept what is. This helped especially during my first two rounds when results were very disappointing. I now have 4 perfect day 5 embryos and my first transfer is this Friday September 20th. The waiting is causing me more anxiety that I’m trying so hard to manage. Wishing you all the best for a safe and healthy pregnancy. 🥰 From Australia 🇦🇺
Ann Smith Oh my goodness...congratulations to you and your upcoming transfer. I truly wish you all the best and hope this is it for you and baby. You truly are a strong warrior and fighter. You can and will get through this. One day at a time. 😉
You are obviously right girl....it does take a lot out of you mentally and physically. And those are very good points...Kudos to you girl. Hope everything is going well with your pregnancy. Keeping you prayer 🙏🏼
I always enjoy your videos. Thanks so much for sharing your story the good and the bad. I just lost my pregnancy 3 weeks ago and it's been tough. I'm going to do a priming cycle then try again with my 2 IVF cycle. I'm looking forward for my rainbow baby. Seeing your videos brings me such hope and excitement that our time will come. Continued blessings to you and your hubby. I would appreciate the same if you can find the time. Can't wait to see the rest of your journey.
I am so sorry to learn of your recent loss. I will be praying for you and your cycle in the future. Be reminded that you are not forgotten and that the Lord sees you. He will bless you just like he has blessed me and many others. I wish we didn’t have to go through this pain getting to our baby however, it will be worth it in the end. I wish you all the very best! ❤️
I totally agree with everything you said. I really need to be more flexible, I keep looking at the calendar and guessing when I will have this and that done. I agree also when you discussed having further tests. I have done all my tests and found out about my tube blockage. I try my best not to compare with others anymore, everyone is on their own journeys and I have to respect that. I'm just going to have hope and faith, and just believe in good timing with everything in my journey.
Of you have a tube blockage (hydrosalphinx) you need to remove the tube. It’s almost impossible to get pregnant when having that. I had the same issue. They removed my left tube. And now I’m gonna start on my ivf journey.
Thanks for tip number 1!!!😊 it was possible for me to do ivf since first of august this year. But my body is not ready🤦🏽♀️ now I’m letting it go. Hope my period comes soon.🙏🏼
I totally understand. There are so many factors that can change our timelines and it can be so frustrating. I truly wish you all the best in your journey. 🤗
Really good tips!! I had my egg retrieval not even a week ago and I was already trying to anticipate the birth date! 😂 I’ll heed your warning and chill out 😁
I'm struggling with undometriosis stage 4 and my 2 tube blocked. My doctor put me on birth control pills and I'm thinking to start IVF.Do you think I'm good to go?
I’m assuming you’re already seeing an R.E.? He or she would be the best person to tell you if you’re ready or not. However, I’ve seen women in your predicament or worse get pregnant through IVF so anything is possible. I wish you all the best!
Lol. I laugh at this as I go through this in the middle of COVID lol! Flexible..... like a damn rubber band. I also have endometriosis and will have to have a surgery before transfer ... oh and I’m 40
Such a hard time for anyone going through infertility treatments right now. I actually had my cycle delayed because of the Zika virus so I understand the frustration. Best wishes to you.
Lol I had to share part of this video with my husband bc I have totally be the one to say, our retrieval should be November so we should do transfer December and have a sept baby. 🤣😂🤣 My husband was like oh like you already have. Our timeline already changed once by a few months so it definitely happens. Good video.
Uughh I’m in the same boat. We planned a trip to Hawaii thinking we would be done wotu our treatment by then . Bad timing. Now I have to postpone my transfer. I’m so mad at myself.
I’m sorry! I hope that you’re able to enjoy your time away and hopefully you’ll feel refreshed when it comes time to start again. Have a safe and fun trip!
Let's Make Lemonade yes. I didn’t know anything about the mosquitos till she told me not to travel to Puerto Rico or Caribbean places because of it . That’s was a year ago when I started my treatment. Now waiting on my period . To start my med for my transfer . I have a question how many days after your period is transfer ?
M Rivera It varies...it all depends on how long it takes for your lining to thicken from the estrogen. Anywhere from day 16-21. Best wishes to you on your cycle!
Can you help me understand why birth control pills are part of the process to get pregnant for IVF? Do they help reset your body before IVF? Thank you for your video!
Birth control is used at the beginning of the IVF process to suppress your hormones which in turn suppress your ovaries. It’s a way to manipulate your cycle to the doctor’s protocol. Hope that helps!

Xisfly My pleasure! I’m so glad I can be of any help!
Congratulations 🙏
Love this ❤️❤️
I’m so glad. Thank you! ❤️
Yea sending lots of love
One of the reason. I didnt travel to Puerto Rico. Because my ivf dr. Told me to wait becuase of the mosquito
If I had thought to tell my doctor, he would’ve told me the same thing. 🤷🏻♀️
Let's Make Lemonade yes. I didn’t know anything about the mosquitos till she told me not to travel to Puerto Rico or Caribbean places because of it . That’s was a year ago when I started my treatment. Now waiting on my period . To start my med for my transfer . I have a question how many days after your period is transfer ?

@@letsmakelemonade5764 gracias. 🥰
i just got same experience because of corona.. my treatment delayed
I’m so sorry. Hang in there.
Have you done era?
Yes, I’ve done the era. It was what helped us get pregnant.
Can you help me understand why birth control pills are part of the process to get pregnant for IVF? Do they help reset your body before IVF? Thank you for your video!
Birth control is used at the beginning of the IVF process to suppress your hormones which in turn suppress your ovaries. It’s a way to manipulate your cycle to the doctor’s protocol. Hope that helps!
Let's Make Lemonade thank you 🙏. I appreciate your time answering!!
Please please tell me is it good to do ivf
IVF isn’t a guarantee depending on your situation. However, it worked for us.
What was your age at the time of ivf?
I was one month away from turning 36 when I did IVF.
I had to have extra vaccines :-/ and I still have to wait 🙈 and I just want to begin
The waiting is sometimes the hardest part! I hope you can start soon! ❤️
Nessi I had to have extra vaccines as well, and we are finally about to start medication in about a week and a half
I already done 2 injections
Hope you find much success!
You are so sweet dear 🥰
Ur age and how many cycles u did
My age is 36 and I did 2 IUI’s, 1 IVF stim cycle and 2 embryo transfers.
Ii many acronyms.
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you so much 🥰💞 you people are really great ❣️❤️
