After 2 rounds of cancelations due to medication response issues our doctor recommended a light IVF cycle with lower doses of meds. 2 eggs retrieved. 1 of them was mature. That 1 mature egg fertilized and made it to day 5 transfer. My wife is now 11 weeks pregnant!!

I'm a new-ish viewer going through your first video series for Baby #1 and just starting this video series about Baby #2, and let me say: you two are super heroes. From educating a vulnerable population of people (pregnant women) during such a scary time (pandemic + pregnancy in general) to being so open and honest and STILL educational about your fertility journey, you two deserve all the love, support, and rest in the world. I love your channel's video backlog and hope you two find rest in your indefinite hiatus from content creation.

Doctor says my body took the meds very well. So now I had 13 eggs, 9 matured, 4 fertilized into an embryo. Now I am waiting to see if any survives blastocyst. I am so super nervous and praying God that at least 1 survives. Wish me luck, will keep you updated. Thank you guys for doing this for all of us

Also I was one of those few unlucky ones who felt dizzy and nearly fainted just before leaving the clinic. It seems it was just reaction to anesthesia. So - have someone with you driving you home! It wasn't easy deed for my husband to get me home. And at home I also needed him to look after me. Luckily it was gone in a day.
