Ok I plan on it! Thanks so much for your feedback and for watching😘 Sending lots of love your way as you go through this crazy/hard process also🙏 you got this! Stay strong💪🏻

I am so thankful youtube suggested this. My heart is with you. My husband and I are going through the same process. 4 years of unexplained infertility. I am also 35 inching my way to 36. I just started oral meds 1 week ago and have been nervous about starting the shots in 2 weeks. I watched your other IVF videos. Very helpful and calming. Your energy made me feel like it is going to be okay. I look forward to your next update. Sending positive vibes.💚

Thank you so much for reaching out❤️ it’s comforting to know that someone else is going through this too Stay strong girl! I’m doing another round of IVF and my injections start Feb 13 so here I go again😣 Sending lots of love your way too!😘

Thank you for sharing your journey, I’m currently on day 6 of stims and just hearing other stories of other people going through similar situations really helps. Btw I totally relate on the medical worker burnout too! Decided to do an intermittent leave of absence to go through IVF and it’s been super stressful at work on the days I have to go in. Ugh but hang in there and again thanks you for sharing. Btw I’m 38yo with a 10yr old daughter that we conceived through IVF when I was 27 with fresh transfer first time try success! two yrs later though we had a failed frozen transfer of the two embryos we had left in cryo. At my 1st ivf cycle in 2010 they retrieved 18eggs of which 10 were fertilized and of those 10 only 4 were grade A (two eggs transferred each ivf transfer first successful thank goodness for my sweet girl and second two yrs later failed). We though we were done with ttc but here we are again trying for the last time! Good luck to you on your journey.

Oh wow thank you so very much for sharing all of this with me!! And what a special daughter you have❤️ Your sweet message is so encouraging for me as I find comfort in knowing I’m not alone🥰 Best wishes and sending all the baby vibes your way as you go through IVF again😘 If you want to keep me posted as to what happens, I would really like that. You got this girl!💪🏻 I’m doing a second round of IVF right now. My egg retrieval is scheduled for tomorrow morning☺️ I vlogged my IVF journey again, so the first week’s video will be up on my channel today

I’ve been enjoying watching your videos. Unlike you, I was a slow responder. I have 9 follicles and I do ER tomorrow 7/22. Keep your faith and trust in God and know that it will happen in his timing. Our circumstances teaches us how to let God get the glory out of all the things we go through. Your transparency/testimony is helping a lot of people.

I’m new to your channel but also finished my egg retrieval earlier this month (December) and you’re not wrong when you say the stim process is taxing! It took me 4 days to fully recover from the bloat and pain I had and I only got 28 eggs retrieved! I’m also planning on doing another ER. Seeing your new journey would be awesome! Sending good vibes to you!

Hi Brittany, once again here I am really glad that you made this video charting your journey with IVF as my husband and I have found ourselves in almost the same boat except we didn’t get any normal embryos following NGS testing. 😢 It’s really been a shock to us both and we’re just trying to get our heads around it (we only found out yesterday). Seeing that you managed to get better results on the second go round is really encouraging to us both and I’m now going to rewatch your other IVF videos to try and see if you were put on a different protocol or if you did anything else differently at all.

@@luckysarah8962 Thanks Sara sara. I have already read It All Starts With the Egg. We were already taking Ubiquinol, Omega 3 Wild fish oil, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Vitamin B6, Zinc, Prenatals everything. Now we've added in N Acetyl Cysteine and I'm considering Myoinositol but I'm wary as I haven't had an official diagnosis of PCOS but I have a high AMH for my age and have had high testosterone in a past test. I haven't had it checked since though so that's something we're looking at.

The unit is coming along nicely. As for the IVF, it's incredible what science can do these days. Genetic testing on embryos . . . I had no idea. 36? Girl, I thought you were mid twenties! Yes, timing does indeed work out exactly the way it is meant to. It really does. I have also been feeling tired and run down lately. Would love to get ideas on how to get my energy back especially this time of year when there's so much that needs to get done. I just want to zzz today!

If you are into this kind of thing, I would love to see what Christmas looks like over there. Americans always seem to decorate the outside of their homes and streets so beautifully with xmas stuff and lights. Maybe show some decorations at malls if you feel safe going there. I think we all need some cheer as this long year draws to a close. My energy level is totally in the drain.

Egg retrieval is ROUGH! But my doctor told me it’s Quality over Quantity. Women with PCOS tend to make a lot of eggs but most are abnormal. You are still young so in ur case u may be over stimulated.

@brittany_elizabeth_rn

2 жыл бұрын

Yeah quality over quantity makes total sense! I wasn’t told this by my doctor, so I’ve had to find out through talking with other women going through the same thing like yourself. Thank you so much for sharing and for your encouragement ❤️

These videos are insanely helpful. Thank you. Would you mind saying how old you were when you had your eggs gathered? Our eggs were gathered at age 31 and our doc suggested that at this age, the chromosomal testing is not necessary and I'm not sure if I should pay for the extra service testing or not.

Yes!! Film again please 💛

Hi Brittany, just from your experience would you advise to someone who is almost 28 to start conceiving soon or would waiting another year be ok? (I know this is not medical advice. But just from your personal experience)

@brittany_elizabeth_rn

Hi there! I’m going to have to say it depends on your health currently, your health history, your current overall life situation (are you happy in your work life, do you have a stable partner or home life), and your life goals…I know it’s kind of a loaded question because it depends on a lot of factors. At 28 years old, you definitely have time. BUT if you have any suspicion that you might have fertility problems, I would think about starting to conceive sooner than later. I’ve known since my early 20s that I would have fertility problems but I was not in a place in my life until past few years to find the doctors and have the money to find solutions to my infertility. I know I didn’t answer your question very well, but I hope this helps you a little. Best wishes to you in your fertility journey!

I am a little disappointed about your ableist language regarding your “abnormal” embryos. There are people who are alive and thriving who have Turner Syndrome and Down Syndrome. I personally know a woman with Turner Syndrome who is currently trying to conceive. I would personally rethink the way you are phrasing things and probably wouldn’t have disclosed exactly why the embryos were graded as abnormal.

@brittany_elizabeth_rn

2 жыл бұрын

I had no idea someone with Turner’s can live that long..let alone thrive!! And from my knowledge, people with DS have many health issues as well. So thank you for sharing! My intention is not to offend anyone, in fact, I feel so bad right now if that’s what I did! I’m coming from purely a scientific perspective because IVF is a medical procedure, so approaching all of this from a medical standpoint. My point I was trying to make was that I was so glad I got the genetic testing done on the embryos so I’m not transferring an “abnormal” one. And most of the time, these embryos are miscarried as the body can sense them being not normal. Anyways, thank you so much for your comment. I hope you are doing well!
