IVF Egg Retrieval & Embryo Transfer | Our Fertility Journey Episode 2

IVF Egg Retrieval & Embryo Transfer | Our Fertility Journey Episode 2
In this second episode of our series documenting our (hopeful) road to parenthood I finish my last injections (which almost didn't happen!) and I go through my egg retrieval surgery. Then ended up waiting a little longer after not getting my period to do the Embryo transfer. If you're interested in IVF or freezing your eggs, this is a very in depth look of what that's all about. Does it hurt? Did it work??

I so hope this series ends the way you want it to. You and Tom are just the sweetest. Baby dust explosion for you.

[@MyMangakaLIFE]

I’m praying that this series ends with a beautiful new beginning: motherhood💖 I literally cried watching the previous video… I’ve watched your videos since your TayTay 1.0 days, used your workout videos to get healthy, and have cheered you on during every milestone you so kindly shared with us🙏💖 When ever you share your journey to have a child I always pray that one day soon you and Tom will have the family you’ve always dreamed of! I’m truly praying for you both!💖💖💖

Same here, Im in tears soooo hoping it went well. Take good care of yourself Taylor, you are strong and you can do this!

[@anthonia4168]

11 years ago we did IVF & we only have 1 embryo!! But that 1 embryo grew into a beautiful-smart-living 10,5-yo-daughter now. I named "Miracle" as her middle name :)

[@jaimeeshivers5001]

as someone who doesn’t really want kids i feel so awful watching and hearing of women like you who are so strong and would do anything for the ability to have a child. I wish I could send my fertility to you as weird as that sounds. You are so incredible. sending all love.

[@Dusty_Inkwell]

same man... I don't like or want any children in my life ever, so I wish I could just sent my unwanted fertility to someone who wants it and to people who will be an amazing parent like Tay and Tom T^T

[@evolvingboard]

I've always felt like this, I don't want it and there's so many people who do. It's unfair.

[@griffenerica]

how do you know you aren’t infertile? you haven’t tried to have kids. 🤔 also this just comes off as i sensitive tbh..like “haha i don’t even want kids but i can if i felt like it” idk i don’t want kids either but i wouldn’t say this this to someone struggling with infertility.

[@margotrobinson943]

You have no clue if you have this fertility you oh so graciously are hypocritically offering. Dumb thing to say.

[@SeedingFinger]

I get what you guys on the last comments are saying about sounding insensitive, but I also understand where she's coming from. My cousin had to do IVF and I watched her struggle while I was struggling on my own trying to get a hysterectomy, it felt extremely wrong and we both felt kinda jealous and bad at the same time. I wish I could've just switched reproductive systems with her, as weird as that sounds. We just couldn't help feeling that way. In the end she got pregnant and had two lovely and healthy babies!! I hope they experience a healthy pregnancy as well! Good luck to all of you, whatever it is you are choosing to do!

[@AnnaBluelueluep]

I never thought I could wish for something to happen so bad when I do not even know the person. It makes me so sad but still so hopeful for you the finally get pregnant and have your baby in your arms !

I'm so sorry you've had to go through so much with this journey, but you are so strong and this series is beautiful. Wishing you all the best.

[@shobot]

I feel emotionally winded. I'll preface this comment with the fact I'm a woman in her 30's with no interest in children and a phobia around...well pregnancy. I've enjoyed Taylors channel for years and wasn't sure if I'd be able to watch these videos but when the first one autoplayed I went with it. These videos are an incredibly intimate and honest retelling of what must be an incredibly emotional, exhausting and vulnerable journey. I cried on multiple occasions, I'm a sensitive soul, but they also highlight the strength of both Taylor and Tom. From a random on the internet compelled to comment (as rarely as it happens) I hope in the hard times Taylor can feel immense pride in her strength no matter what happens and this video offers some clarity and comfort, if that's the right word, to others. There's not enough information and research about so many medical difficulties woman face and I say that from experience and friends journeys. Thank you

[@beimkohlehydrat2455]

I absolutely can't get over the fact that women need to administer several injections and to be put to sleep in front of a bunch of people examining her vagina and on top of that actually carry the baby and give birth to it later while dealing with a plethora of side effects..and the man just...jerks off. 😭 Sooo not fair lol but you're right, Taylor and any woman who goes through this is such a trooper!!!

[@hollybrooke322]

I agree women are very strong but let’s not down play men either. I’ve been raised and around men who at least 98-99% of them love, admire and appreciate women and what we go through. While we may deal with the pain, hormones and mental struggles just think how horrible the man who loves you feels seeing you do so much while he is helpless and struggling because he can’t do it for you or take it away. Fathers feel, they worry, they hurt and they stress all while feeling so helpless. On top of that while we give birth in the back of most men’s minds are dear god please let them both live. Please let them be ok. They wait and without showing it struggle with the fear that their everything could be lost at any moment during the entire process. Men are amazing too. We each have our own roles to play. Just because their are deadbeats doesn’t mean all men are the same. There are plenty of crap women out there too who couldn’t care less.

[@MuChoLife]

For all those thinking of freezing, please know that your eggs stored for too long does reduce them taking. Myself and my friends stored eggs from our late 20’s to early 30’s and sadly transfers have failed now that we are late 30’s up to mid 40’s. Please know this. Be prepared to to do another retrieval after 5 years just to be safe. She is right, it is a job. The monitoring, the shots. It’s an emotional rollercoaster. But there is a community there to support you!

[@maryamnadeem1201]

How long do you think they can freeze?

[@laurendoyle7752]

Both my sister and I were conceived via IVF, but I didn’t know what the process entailed (our mother passed away before we had an in-depth conversation about it) so watching this video and the previous one has been informative and emotional.

[@emira9135]

The way you looked at Tom with tears in your eyes at 4:45 made me burst into tears myself. I can see in your eyes how much love you have for him. He’s your safe place. He’s your person.

Taylor’s maturity and readiness to be a mama really comes through in this series!! It’s always there but thanks for sharing it with us. I can see from how dedicated you are to the child even before pregnancy what a good mama you will be. Good thoughts for you and Tom and your future family!

There’s always a rainbow after rain :). I cannot get pregnant, suffered from ptsd after a miscarriage and will not try getting pregnant again I think. I am thinking about adoption.

[@irismadeleine]

@Chaosiferus I obviously don't know the reasons for Michelle and her husband, but it's good to keep in mind that surrogacy isn't legal everywhere, so it might not even have been an option.

[@waterfall6328]

@Chaosiferus after losing my pregnancy I will never consider a surrogate. I will be planning, hoping for an unborn child while at the same time there are many who are in need of a family. This was not meant to be rude. I just think that what’s not meant to be for me should be that. I also do not want to put a lot of stress on my body and get pregnant again because I’m at a high risk of developing complications and also losing the baby. I know that one day I will have my child by my side, whether we are blood related or not, that won’t matter

[@DazzlingPotatoes]

[@Shridra]

@@waterfall6328 If you do, in the future, find yourself pregnant again for whatever reason, I very highly recommend seeking out an online "pregnant after a loss" community (there are several out there). It is so helpful to be able to talk to other women who are going through the same situation and having the same worries. I would not have been able to get through my experiences with my sanity (mostly) intact if it weren't for those groups.

[@Lisallamaa]

These videos are so intimate, I've never seen anyone share this journey so honestly. My sister went through ivf and fertility treatments. She had to stop because she developed fnd sadly. However I really didn't understand her or what she was going through. This was several years ago, I was younger and stupid, and I was actually angry with her because I didn't understand why she didn't just adopt. Coming from me, someone with a biological son (and now I have two kids) it was so ridiculous, selfish and immature of me. I've since become a lot more considerate of her feelings, but only through your videos have I suddenly come to understand what she went through. :(

[@coffeegirl18]

Leighannsays actually shared her IVF journey too. Not all the appointments but her and her hubby talked about it a lot. The just recently had their lovely baby 💜

[@aelardiz]

I kinda have a similar experience with someone too, and now that I look back at it, I sure find myself to be immature... But still that was me as a kid...

Sure it may be sensitive and I know you're gonna say along those lines like; "but you still didn't need to say" but I have not mentioned anything further on it but only just stating it.

When you said it’s like Santa is coming, I could really feel your excitement. I’m longing for Friday to be here… it’s actually my birthday Friday but all I wish for is the best outcome for you both. Wherever this journey takes you, you’ve come a long way Taylor and should be proud of yourself. You make all of us proud

[@juliaconstanza5973]

Omg! I'm crying watching this video... I admire you so much. My husband and I tried to get pregnant for 4 years and now my baby is 9 months old! Truly life is a miracle ❤️

[@matzohgirl]

[@curlyenne]

@@Taylor_R thank you! ❤️

[@melon4966]

Sending love I've had two for endometriosis one before my ivf i hope you recover well ❤️

[@curlyenne]

@@melon4966 I had my laporoscopy yesterday and I will have to have another bigger operation next month. But I am glad they finally found out what’s wrong. Luckily it looks like my ovaries have not yet been compromised. 🙏🏽 I really hope I can get pregnant after this! Even if it would take IVF treatment. Your thumbnail gives me hope though ❤️

[@lois1616]

I saw your Instagram stories and it is so heartwarming to see you are not discouraged by the negative comments to still show Tom and his experience. It makes it easier to relate to his experiences too! I think it is courages of you guys to show this vulnerable, scary yet beautiful journey with us. Hope the best for you and can't wait for Friday!

[@katelynnlopez1489]

I always knew that infertility treatments where a process but I never knew how emotionally, mentally, and physically they truly were. Watching your journey thus far has been very eye opening. I wish nothing but the best for the two of y’all and hope that this series ends with a well deserved pregnancy announcement. Wishing you the best Taylor and keeping you in my thoughts and prayers 💕

[@mrsfarrellforever]

I’m praying that I’m right in thinking we are seeing this series now because your pregnant. You deserve this miracle more than anyone! Thankyou for being so brave and sharing this with us!

[@scout9120]

I was recently diagnosed with premature ovarian failure and this is one of the options my doctor gave me when I want to have kids. It’s so interesting seeing the whole process so thank you for documenting it❤️ I’m so sorry that you are struggling with fertility. You’re so strong and I’m sending you positive vibes❤️❤️

[@CarolinaTorres-fg7so]

My sister is dealing with infertility, and seeing this reminds me that all things come to those who wait. I hope you have a healthy baby, but whatever the outcome you are an amazing person ❤️

[@tamoose]

I'm also praying that this journey ends eith a happy ending. This series really struck it home for me as I am also going through infertility. I myself went through the IVF journey with two pregnancies that ended up in a miscarriage. Don't give up hope! Thanks for sharing this journey with everyone so more people can learn from your experience.

[@ysabellapachano4985]

I don’t know why but this makes me emotional and I am not even planning to have a baby. I am just thinking about how your future child is going to watch these videos with the whole process. These videos are the proof of how much loved this child is going to be💗Just keep strong and hopeful you two!!💗💪

[@sophiewithlovee]

Crying my eyes out when the embryo went into you 😮‍💨… this is such a moment for both of you. InshaAllah good things will come your way ♥️ you are in my thoughts! Love your positivity.. I know that is so hard to keep up. Much love 💗

[@lolamento7265]

I cried so much during these two episodes. It is both beautiful and heartbreaking to watch your journey, and hearing Tom in the background cheering you on, even when he must be heartbroken as well... That's true love. I love how he is there, even when he is apprehensive of needles! I am sure you both will be very loving and caring parents, once it comes. Both yours and your partner's strength and bravery for posting such vulnerable times is beautiful, and it shows the difficulties one must overcome as they journey through life. Watching you both in this emotional rollercoaster of hope and disappointment is inspring, truly. Both you guys strength is VERY inspiring! I hope to be as brave and strong as you both have proved to be! Thank you for sharing it with all of us, for showing us what parenthood can look like, and what having a supporting partner means. Thank you ❤️

[@shaznasamsudeen444]

Thank you very much for this in depth video Taylor. I was diagnosed with PCOS and I can imagine the emotional toll. This journey you’ve taken with your partner is really uplifting and gives me hope. Thank you again for showing the good, bad and the ugly. Can’t wait for the next part. All the very best! Hope your dream comes true!

[@madisonjade7976]

Thank you so, so much for sharing your difficult and intimate journey with us. This series is really inspiring and will definitely help so many other people going through something similar! 💕 Love and happy wishes to you and Tom.

[@aiya359]

Only 4 minutes in, but gosh this is so well made! I’m feeling every second. Amazing job editing this. Thank you again for doing this series, having been through something similar it means a lot to me❤️

[@Shion.U27]

Ive been watching you for about 5 years now and I have loved seeing you grow as a crater and a person. I'm wishing you nothing but the best and I hope parenthood comes soon for you! Positive thinking is the key!

[@sofiaolivas9340]

Tay thank you so much for sharing your journey. Iv'e never wished something like this to happen to a stranger so much! I also have PCOS and for a long time I've been trying to convince myself I don't ever want children, when in reality I am just shielding myself from the hurt of not being able to have them naturally one day when I'm ready. With your story you've shown me that it's okay to wonder at all the possibilities :) I love your channel, keep it up.

[@DanielandYuka]

Have been waiting for this episode after the last cliffhanger!! Thanks for your kind thoughts for our upcoming IVF in Japan next month! :)

[@Taylor_R]

You guys got this! 💪🏻❤️

[@readwithme7324]

All I can say is Taylor, you are one brave, dedicated, inspiring, hard-working and funny woman. You never fail to look on the positive side even when negative fills everywhere. You've never failed to inspire us, help us go through a lot of things and teaches us. I feel lucky having to grow up with you, learn with you, change myself to a better version. You're always gonna be the one woman that I will always and forever look up to. Love you to the moon and back ❤️ Thank You for sharing with us. ❤️

[@Taylor_R]

Thank you so much, what a kind comment! 🥰❤️ I hope you enjoy the video

[@dawnsherratt2317]

I really hope this series ends with TayTay-MaMa! You both really deserve to be parents and will be amazing ones.

[@jenwong1499]

I LOVE this series. Thank you for being so honest and transparent about the process, it’s honestly so helpful for “want to be future” parents 💞💖

[@yulana990]

Yes! Been waiting for this! Ep 1 was so emotional and I actually shed tears even though I'm only 20 and can't relate to everything, it still really touched me as someone with PCOS. Thank you for sharing this with us Rachel, and I'm sending all the best wishes to you from Europe! (now ill prepare myself to shed tears again haha!)

[@rubytooo]

Dear Tay Tay, I have been watching you for over 5 years now and i feel like we've grown up together. You have no idea how many smiles and comfort you have caused. I hope you have all you desire in your life, you will be an amazing mother ❤ sending you millions of hugs and all the positive energy from Bulgaria 🍀

[@KiamaSamoyi]

I see this and I'm reminded of my own journey. Thank you so much for sharing yours. You are brave and strong and more people need to talk about these kinds of things. I pray that after everything at you and Tom are strong and healthy. Infertility is not an easy journey. It is filled with heartbreak and tears but at the end of the tunnel there is a light of new beginnings. I know a lot of people put the burden on the woman but watching the video I can see how much Tom brings you joy. It's great that you both support each other and are stronger together. You both will make amazing parents no matter how you reach that milestone.

[@euniceliu96]

I'm literally squeezing my husband wrist so bad watching all the injections and knowing how much medication need to go in. It's like I can really feel it when you say your body need some rest. My prayers with you Taytay. Sending lots of love. from a 3yo girl's mama🌟🌟🌟

[@Ghost_Ruthless]

5 mins in and I am already crying. I have followed your journey though this process and I hope and wish you so much happiness. Your such a beautiful person and I wish you guys so much love.

[@ashleyriggs1583]

As a fellow infertile person I really feel for you watching this series. Even though I'm currently pregnant with my IVF baby I can't help but tear up and feel brought back to that space emotionally watching this. There's no pain like the pain of infertility and I don't know if it will ever fully go away. Holding space for you and hoping that a healthy baby is in your future. 🤍

[@tiffyvivo9429]

I’m very fertile I choose ivf 🥰

[@mycp6615]

5:27 "thank you for your ... contribution" i dont think i should be laughing this hard

[@alifeoflemons7170]

I just wanted to say thank you for being so brave to share this journey with us all. You aren’t alone and know that we are here to support you no matter the results. Wish you the best & praying you hear wonderful news.

[@xtonix210]

Thank you Taylor for doing this series ! I have been told by my doctors that if I want to have children then I will need assistance. Getting to see some of the different options is amazing. I also really appreciate you showing how mentally and physically challenging it is.

[@claraegan_]

Taylor, I have the biggest lump in my throat after watching part 2, what you are doing is so brave and courageous. I have EVERYTHING crossed for you guys, you are the loveliest couple 🍀✨
