my journey with IVF (part 1)

[@Carol-mn9xq]

When TJ said “Im sorry you have to go through all this. I wish I could do it for you” I immediately started crying lol

[@kathrynhenry4069]

Wait I came here to say this. I’m on my period and starting bawling when he said that. I just want a love like that.

[@deadfey]

Seriously the sweetest thing a man could ever say

[@Dee--]

😂😂

[@janetalexa]

ive never seen this from the perspective of keeping the option as open as possible instead of actively trying for a child this is actually so interesting thanks for sharing

[@crystall101911]

Y’all are definitely going to have the coolest kids one day

[@bloodthirsty5354]

poor kids gonna suffer for her mom degenerate act of OF

[@Jocelynn912]

So cool seeing how IVF helps different people in different parts of their life! Thank you for sharing!

[@AlexisBelon]

My favorite thing about ppl our age vlogging is you can never find the type of content that relates to exactly what we are all going through otherwise

[@sommermcdaniel9723]

I absolutely LOVE the way you are using IVF. I have never even thought about getting embryos to preserve my ability to wait. I don't want to have kids before I'm comfortable with the idea of having them, and don't want my "body clock" determining when im ready. So, this is awesome!

[@JO-wn8xd]

Your "body clock" will still determine when you're able to have kids. Yes you may have viable embryos, but if it's a geriatric pregnancy, you'll be less likely to carry the baby to term

[@Bercy1994]

i’ve been following you for so long and have seen you in so many different stages of your life it feels like we’re old friends! thank you for always being so open with us!

[@michaelad1313]

Just turned 30 this year and have had the “kids yet? Nah…” conversation a few times. Seeing this reaffirms my want to figure out where I stand now and possibly set something aside for the future. I’m so excited to watch your journey and learn more 💕

[@Bilal_Aslam_]

Carly & Erin posting but individually on the same day ??? Love it

[@ErinGilfoy]

two queens

[@CyberEmilee]

Erin, I have been watching you and Carly for so many years! Love that you've started posting vlogs again ❤ thanks for sharing your journey with IVF!!

[@cjoyellow-bee6362]

I never thought you and TJ are thinking about a little mini me. I am happy you’re freezing your eggs so when you’re ready. I’m excited when and TJ decide to have a little one.

[@obsessive_arch]

"I looked it up on Reddit and it said that its normal" is so real I literally always have to reassure myself with random people on Reddit haha

[@Cherry210]

❤❤❤ I'm so glad you decided to do this because whether you have children or not you will be ready and you will not have any regrets.

[@MimI11Butterfly]

I love that you are sharing this! Also from a diabetic who has been on insulin for 25+ plus years, I use the 7 day clock method with my shots. So if I started on a Wednesday then I start at a 3:30/4pm position on my stomach and move clockwise or counter clockwise each day. If I have multiple shot then I start closest to my belly button for the first one, then the second will be in the same spot but further away from my belly button & so on. I hope this helps.

[@ErinGilfoy]

that is so smart

[@IAFoodReviews]

Thank you for sharing your IVF journey. Not many videos about IVF mentions saving embryos for later. This is great. You’re amazing ❤ I know y’all will be great parents someday.

[@annasulina]

To be able to check if you washed your hands and to answer thank you for checking is such a healthy relationship goals. Hope everything goes great, I am sure one day you will have the coolest kids ever❤

[@melcerra2375]

I haven't really thought about people using IVF in this particular way. Love it. Go science!

[@brooklynsonger]

Erin, you’re so strong and inspiring! You guys are going to be the greatest parents one day.

[@salycia7]

I LOVEEEE that you’re sharing this journey with us!! this is a great insight into what actually happens🩷 also so awesome you have such a supportive husband and family during this 👑 love this for you guys 🥹

[@delcarr26]

Thanks so much for letting us in on this journey! I had cervical cancer and a hysterectomy last year and ivf has been on my mind. Getting other peoples experiences is so helpful!

[@NicoleThatcher-xi7sv]

I’m an IVF baby and this was so cool to watch! I always knew it was a PROCESS to do IVF but seeing it and knowing my mom did this for me is so heartwarming, she wanted me so bad. Excited for your future babies to feel this way!

[@KatsObsession]

I love this for you guys! It’s incredibly smart. I’ve never met anyone who said they regret having children but I know many who said they wish they had done this. It would be amazing if you guys donate them if you decide not to use them ❤

[@ErinGilfoy]

oh we definitely will!

[@taniatorres8114]

the chisme! Love that you’re showing the process. ❤

[@susanlewis208]

What a process! Yall can do anything and also think yall will be such great parents when you do decide to! I had to inject myself twice a day when I was pregnant do to a blood disorder. It gets easier everyday! Love to see you posting on this channel again! Can't wait for the annual ski trip!

[@Kase1313]

Omg absolutely thought you and tj were in the no kid club! This is such fun news 🎉 no pressure either way! You’re a great pair regardless ❤

[@Mameera18]

We need more information on infertility journey in today’s society! Thank you for sharing your journey ✨

[@rorogelio]

Thank you for sharing your journey, much love

[@racheld5765]

Love watching your journey Erin! Thanks for sharing with us ☺️ also so cute when TJ said he wished he could do it for you 🥹😭

[@hannababanana3797]

i've missed you and tj 💖 you guys are so entertaining together!

[@ashleydykas2006]

[@mogollero]

Erin!!!! A true diva!!!!!

[@cait707]

thank you for being so open with all of us on a journey you don't need to share with anyone. you're a strong woman and i'm so happy you found a great supportive partner in tj

[@Hopkins0812]

I’m on my period so I’m bawling. But this what such a great video. Love love love. Thank you for sharing your experience with us so far. Keep the content coming! ❤

[@gingerbread18]

As an IBS girly, I was curious how your stomach has been? And how you’re doing in general 🩷✨

[@m2412]

Im in my early 20s but I think I will probably do IVF for a few reasons. This is so cool to watch. The whole needles thing seemed like one of the scariest parts but Erin made it look not so bad! Can’t wait to see how the rest of the journey plays out

[@jayembee0431]

Thank you for sharing your journey. As someone that has thought of freezing my eggs since I don’t have a life partner yet and already almost 36, I’ve been interested in this and wondered what the process would be.

[@sarahvazquez6416]

erin omg thank you for sharing 🥹 i am so proud of you guys 🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@monique_6]

I appreciate you for documenting this journey ❤🥲 love you both

[@brittanysalvatori7150]

“I wish I could do it for you” 😭Tjs so sweet

[@_o_o_-br4il]

Erin! Congrats on your IVF journey! I had no knowledge of the process, so thank you for sharing!! :)

[@Ashhbcatchin]

Awwwwe ! Were all so grown now 🥹

[@kelsibradley4800]

I love IVF videos! It’s amazing!

IVF momma of 2. This shit is hard, but totally worth it 🩵

[@corinnebarrow9164]

A long time follower - thank you for shaeing your journey with us❤❤

[@natalieguzman9627]

In the instructional video, they and you use a syringe from the medical device company I work for, BD! Love seeing it be used and help in the real world and influencers that I watch! Love your transparency and informative video. Congrats on your journey :)

[@MJ-xz8mi]

Thanks for showing us this process. How were/are you feeling during the process?!!!!!

[@unapologeticallyamy9031]

Eeekkkkkk!!! I really hope that you guys have a baby soon. I can’t wait to see TJ’s parents be grandparents. Ever since his day got on the floor at the ski condo, to play with Paris I have been hopeful that a baby gets to have him as a grandpa and his mom?! Oh my goodness this baby will be so blessed. I’m so excited for you guys. Yayyyy!!!

[@unapologeticallyamy9031]

Oops, you’re just freezing eggs now. But I still can’t wait.

[@bevwhittle461]

It starts hurting more because you start getting calcified lumps around your injection sites. I do Subcutaneous Immunoglobulin therapy once a week and sometimes it hurts like hell and other times I don't feel it much at all, it's weird that placement of the needle can make so much of a difference! I find if I meditate through it, it helps but everyone is different. Good luck!

[@mattjamesss1]

Bestie always makes me feel premium and love it! ❤❤❤

[@TheChelsyLove]

You are so incredibly radiant! ✨️

[@eringrow8633]

Omg haven’t even started watching yet but I hope and pray everything works out for you two ❤❤❤❤

[@viriss7955]

What an exciting journey! 🤗 Thank you for sharing with us!

[@TheHGameFan]

thank you sharing your experience with us ❤ wishing you all the best ❤❤❤

[@halbarber3]

Thank you for sharing this with us. It was absolutely facinating.

[@user-cq4qb6tt9e]

Loving the journey ❤. Have you listened to Race to 35 with Monica Padman and Liz Plank. They went through the freezing process and interview different people who went through the process for different reasons.

[@ErinGilfoy]

oh that’s so interesting! i didn’t know monica had her own podcast, i will have to listen!

[@R.obin.]

I’ve always thought it to be a great idea to freeze those eggs! My niece did it until she was ready and her first baby was born last Christmas!

[@anets7799]

Thanks so much for sharing your journey :) Wasn't familiar with some parts of the process!

[@daniellerodriguez4174]

Thank you for sharing your journey! You obviously don't have to share further, but I'm so curious the cost of all of this. Obviously there are alot of factors to that. But a general idea would be so nice from someone who's actually going through it.

[@ErinGilfoy]

that’ll be in the next video!!

[@daniellerodriguez4174]

@@ErinGilfoy amazing, thank you!! Good luck on this journey

[@Karlieaf]

Erin, thanks for letting us be part of this journey and learn about the possibilities of IVF ❤ Paris gets to be an only child for a little while 😍

[@carleylp]

this was super interesting- thank you for sharing it with us! 💕

[@yutanabrooks9683]

My husband and I are struggling to get pregnant with 3 failed iui procedures. If next month fails we will have to step back and save money (because why the heck is it so dang expensive? 😂) before going down the ivf road ❤ I am send good vibes for all of this for you ❤

[@Kaylee_eeee]

Me literally getting my tubes tied next week watching this intently 😂

[@ErinGilfoy]

hahahah

[@awesomeadamfrom2099]

Awesome job Erin drop a like for you.

[@anjalipatnana3549]

Yassssss queen you deserve the best

[@Nxg108]

As someone from outside of the US, ppl please vote!! It’s so crazy how nonchalant Erin talked about the real possibility of IVF no longer being available. Please don’t be a no vote, or a joke of a vote, stuff like this affects so many people

[@MeganRemblance]

hey im not sure if you did this but be sure to get all of the air out of the needle before injecting it!

[@mariafernandaechevarriamar1067]

I love this for you guys 🩷🎀

[@honeyjane1]

Not relevant to the topic but your natural curly hair is such a look

[@missymartinez7952]

You definitely will be parents however the universe blesses you.

[@RaymondSwiftVisions]

For the needle you fill urself (and hurts the most) are you letting the air out before injecting?

[@ErinGilfoy]

yes!

[@bekahpollard7825]

Thank you for sharing this!!

[@allstarg21girl]

I remember you guys said you guys wanted kids but in future. That’s is good that you guys are taking it slow.

[@archaedia]

My husband and I did ivf in order to get pregnant. We're in Canada and it was such a process, I cannot imagine if we had to mix a bunch of meds and stuff as well lol!!. We has 1 pen resembling an epipen and then another that was just a needle. That's it. Seems very stressful to also need to be a chemist or phlebotomist lol

[@m2412]

So it’s still two shots Daily in Canada ? But less mixing of things ? Had no idea it was done differently

[@archaedia]

@m2412 yeah it's still 2 shots but we don't need to mix anything. The one shot that looks like a needle is prefilled to the dose you need and the other is like an insulin pen where you turn the knob to the required dose

[@rosesnraw]

I’m curious how long do you have to do the injections?

[@berdawn82]

I don’t know why, I just assumed you guys would love your lives single and wild traveling all over. Kids are cool too though 😂. Seriously though, I have 3 of them and they are great but you don’t HAVE to have kids. Good luck on your journey

[@ErinGilfoy]

we might!

[@courtneybryant8764]

I just started watching this, but I would love to know the prices and things like that. I'm 34 and not sure if I can have kids and would love to know about all those details.

[@ErinGilfoy]

all that will be in the next vid!

[@kimahlstrom]

I almost thought it was vlogmas early

[@ErinGilfoy]

hahaha

[@michellegarrett6752]

WOAH! The shopping bag from the pharmacy looked scary and overwhelming. I would have been so nervous about messing it up. "I'm sorry but I forgot my nursing license in an alternate reality."

[@courtneyschramm1763]

after dinner dessert injecting yourself cracked me up

[@KaitlynnIsDead]

As someone whos done IVF to get pregnant that "oh that was so easy" immediately followed by "oh fuck that" is soooooo god damn accurate. Lol

[@mollousha]

You know what’s so weird is someone asked you if you were pregnant in this weeks good influences and it got kinda weird so I had a moment where I was like… what if she is tho?!? And now this video has me wondering if I’m somewhat telepathic…😂

[@LynnzeNao]

Wait so sweet when tj asked if you washed your hands & your response was "I did, thank you for checking" y'all are such a good example of a healthy relationship, my parents are divorced so things like that really stick out 🥹 I'm crying lmao

[@Soofana]

My European mind is blown that you do this at home 😮

[@ErinGilfoy]

same hahaha

[@MScrista24]

Aw what you guys are trying for a baby??😭😭

[@bjgamez_]

When you said the syringe stuck to you - reminds me of when, I think it was TJ's covid shot, it looked like it stuck in his arm a bit. 😬😅

[@Mark__]

Make the embryos?!? Man I am WAY behind on whatever options there have been out there.

[@danielllllla]

thanks for sharing!

[@jasonhunter2819]

Wow, what a journey I never expected to get to go along with you on! I can't believe they have you do so much of it yourself!! You're so clever and brave to take this all on, even *more* respect for you now! 👑🫡

[@RaeofLight13]

Are you taking time off from OF during this process? I know some people deal with bloating and bruising, my coworker is in the very beginning stages and it’s A LOT between hormones and how she feels. Genuine question 😊🫶🏼

[@ashleylommel9916]

Ugh TJ is such a good man “I’m sorry that you have to go through all this, I wish I could do it for you” ❤🥹
