Thank you all for supporting us and sharing in this crazy life!

[@BunsAndPearls]

I did Ivf last year and did pgs. Someone told me something. PGS tells you just what the problems are and if that embryo is not compatible with life it won’t make a viable pregnancy anyway. I highly suggest pgs. You said you don’t want to give one embryo a better chance but you are doing that when they grade the embryos anyways and transfer the best one. Test. Always always test. Save your money and emotions on an Embryo that will not be viable no matter what you do. Baby dust!

[@ChelseaHansen]

I agree with you, and we did PGS for this reason. However, I kind of understand why it's an ethical dilemma for some people.

[@BunsAndPearls]

I kinda think that if you are already doing IVF might as well do the PGS. IDK maybe that is just me.

[@marycn8960]

I agree. A couple with unexplained infertility can most likely go without pgs testing in the first try. My sister did and it worked her 3 embryos were viable and turned into babies. But with male factor infertility when you know there is issues with sperm quality I think it’s necessary.

[@BunsAndPearls]

We did IVF bc I have a very rare lung disease and it would be deadly for me to carry so we did IVF with surrogacy. We had never had any fertility issues and both on the younger side. We sent 5 blasts to testing and 3 came back normal. The other 2 were not normal and would never had made a pregnancy OR it would have and it wouldve been a miscarriage. You just never know what can happen. I think it is a huge gamble especially if you already have known issues like you said. Hopefully, they decide to test.

[@marycn8960]

Calla Something your case makes sense. But I know some people like phil and alex for example here on KZbin who get 6 or 7 embryos and only transfer one at a time only to end in miscarriage. Then they get so gutted because it didn’t end well. What did they expect? That it would work in the first try. With MFI it is very unlikely. Doctors need to be very honest with this people but I guess sometimes it doesn’t matter people will do what they want. Just giving my opinion of course. I’m glad you got your miracle baby ❤️

[@anaiduwhiteley]

I second third and fourth doing PGS! It is expensive but I'm 100% certain that's why I have my rainbow baby. The two best quality embryos by grades for us were genetically abnormal. I think it's worth the cost for the peace of mind :) It's not about giving one more of a chance. It's about weeding out the ones that have absolutely no chance.

[@OldAcres8690]

Anjali that is how we felt.

[@tinarowe8388]

Anjali, is that even possible for the top grade embryos to be genetically abnormal? I’ve never heard this before, it scares the shit out of me! Mine wasn’t a top quality emby but It didn’t implant. I will have to do another round of ivf as I have no loving children and I’m desperate for my own family. But I’m not sure if I can go through all that emotional and psychological pain again especially if it fails!

[@anaiduwhiteley]

@@tinarowe8388 I'm so sorry honey but yes, my highest grade was genetically abnormal. However just because it didn't implant doesn't mean it was. Sometimes the body just absorbs it and there's nothing you can do. When I got pregnant, I did a lot of old wives tales for that cycle. Wore socks the day of transfer and only took them off to shower, no cold foods and drinks, and most importantly I treated myself like I was sick. Stayed in bed or on the couch and just watched Netflix. It's hard. I actually hated being pregnant because I was too scared to enjoy it. Just know you're not alone. There's a huge community of us and you'll always have support. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you finally get your miracle baby!

[@tinarowe8388]

Anjali thanks honey, that means a lot. You know my pain because you have been there, unfortunately those who haven’t been through infertility don’t have the faintest clue! Thanks again x

[@anaiduwhiteley]

@@tinarowe8388 that's so true. People who haven't been through it don't know how to react so they always have good intentions but it never really helps to make you feel better. As hard as it is, the best advice I could give is to take it one day at a time. Don't overanalyze your symptoms and just relax as best as you possibly can.

[@richamell9358]

I'm 39 and 35 weeks pregnent . I did IVF testing and glad I did. It took the first time, even though my lining was less than .69cm.My doc said "a good IVF will implant", and it did So happy for you guys to try again, but keeping adoption on the burner as well. Same as me.i am very thankful to biotexcom. they give me great way.

[@jenniferweitzel6856]

I think you could save a lot of money (with medications) if you do PGS; instead of transferring embryos that may not survive, you transfer ones that have a chance. Even worse than the money is the heartbreak and time of transferring embryos who are genetically not going to survive. It is your call and up to you; I know people who have used this for gender only, and I know for a fact I couldn’t ever discard based on that. Tough decision.

[@isabelwilliams1378]

Hey. Good luck to you guys with your journey. I hope it goes fine. Wishing a lot of happiness for you guys. My sister is also infertile so she had to go for IVF. She went to Ukraine for her treatment. She could not afford it in our country. She got her treatment at Biotexcom. Now she has a baby girl. She's so happy and contented now.

[@milliewatson5339]

Infertility really gives a tough time. And I have been TTC for 7 years. Now, I have consulted the doctor at Biotexcom clinic. I am also starting my IVF cycle. They have been always a good supporting clinic. I previously went there with my sister for her surrogacy. And this time for my IVF. Soon the process will be started.

[@theresacollado5723]

We need an update! 😬 I follow you guys closely and have been praying for you guys! You’re recordings helped me through some of my toughest times of infertility. I now have 15 month old twins from my last cycle of IVF! I’m very hopeful for you both!!!

[@SaraKhan-zx8ss]

Hi. I hope you are fine. You both are amazing. My friend has faced infertility for so long. She wanted to be a mother badly. She decided to go for surrogacy. She went to a renown clinic in Europe. She was later blessed with a baby boy. I am so happy for her.

[@emmawalton6000]

So good to hear that you are going to start IVF. These treatments are betterment for the people like us. So why don't we avail it. And another thing is that clinic also plays the very important role for this. If the clinic is not good, these treatments also don’t work. Biotexcom is one of these good clinics. They provide these treatments in a good way. And the best thing about them is their charges are also very low. Best of luck for your journey.

[@tarashakeshaft1090]

I'm 43 and 37 wks preg. I did PGS testing and glad I did. It took the first time, even though my lining was less than .75cm? My doc said "a good embryo will implant", and it did:) So happy for you guys to try again, but keeping adoption on the burner as well. Same as me. I would like to go back to foster/adoption when my son is 3 or 4. We'll see, though :) Anyhow, yes, get your body prepped and keep up the good energy! Yeyyyy!!

[@carolinearthur5908]

Look how happy you both are looking for. Your eyes are shining with happiness. It shows the excitement inside you. I hope that things will be great for you in the future. With this new cycle new things will come to your life. It will add colours to the life. It is a sign of completeness. May you and all others like you get the long awaited smiles.

[@kaylahplaza1660]

Definitely do pgs. My dr didn’t even recommend it our first time around as we were both young and healthy and he saw no reason for the extra expense. We had 6 high grade embryos frozen and I subsequently had 4 pregnancies in 2 years. Out of those 6 embryos only 1 survived and is my miracle rainbow. If we had done pgs it could have likely prevented going through multiple miscarriages, heartache and significant time.

[@MeettheWheelers]

That was us too! We had no reason to do it! Glad you got your baby ❤️

[@michellebridges2604]

Sending prayers.💗 Welcome back! Can't wait to follow your journey!

[@laydiitek317]

I’m excited for this journey again and I’m so positive that this will be your success cycle!! Sending you all the love and positive vibes ❤️

[@irinaklaus277]

Hello, guys. You guys are the best! This is so real. Thank you for staying original. Good luck on this journey. My prayers are with you. Wishing you lots of luck and sending lots of baby dust your way.

[@ammyalen7633]

Hey! So great to hear this. You guys are great. Just keep your spirits going. All the love to you people. Positive vibes.

[@jessicadavid2669]

Hey! I hope you are fine. Your video is really inspirational. I hope this journey goes fine for you. Wishing you success in it. I had my baby via IVF too. I chose Biotexcom for my treatment. I am really glad to go for IVF. It makes me really happy to see my baby in my arms now.

[@jenifercox6295]

You should take good care guys. You should be strong. We must take good care of ourselves. Please, take good care. Everything will be alright. Just go ahead. Our prayers are with you.

[@jasminejoe6129]

I wish you guys the very best of luck on your IVF journey. I hope all gets sorted. IVF failed for me but I hope it is successful for you . All the best to you.

[@ditasomerville4986]

So nice to have you guys back. Super excited for your upcoming IVF cycle. I will be doing my second round of IVF end of August beginning of September as well and really hoping for baby #2 next year. With regards to PGS testing, just remember it's not a 100% guarantee either so there is definitely lots to think and pray about. Wishing you both best of luck and looking forward to the updates.

[@azzieser9349]

Hey. Just stopping by to say that you guys are cute. And it is so good to see you two have each other at this time. I want to say that please stay together. No matter what happens. You both need each other's support. And no one else can give it to you. Also, good luck with your journey. Hope I see an addition to your family soon.

[@aubreyjeff7112]

Hey, Wheelers! How are you doing? I pray everything goes well with your doctor. This period is very crucial. A lot of important decisions to be made. I had my surrogacy a while ago at BioTexCom. They were amazing. And now our little girl is growing up so fast!

[@louisebayliss2261]

I will keep everything crossed for you. I am not ttc but I have got to get my body ready for major surgery that is being scheduled for September as I have a completely exploded foot that needs rebuilding. I am praying it all works out for all of us. Take care, luv Lou xxx

[@alexjhones4447]

Hi. I was also thinking about adoption. But now, I came to know that IVF is a much better option than adoption. I pray for your new IVF journey. You are also doing a good decision. Don't worry about initial treatment. After 2 or 3 weeks, you will able to handle all this as a normal routine.

[@sidraahmed348]

It's great to see you guys after a long time. I'm happy to see that you're going for an IVF treatment. I hope it brings all the happiness that you deserve. My friend had a son through an IVF process at Biotexcom clinic. The clinic is amazing at their services, as she mentions. She had a very satisfying treatment. Anyway, I wish you guys all the best!

[@valv1722]

I have some cetrotide in the fridge. I'm so excited for you. IVF worked for me after 7 years of waiting and many treatments. Our last embryo from that cycle gave us a baby boy that is now 6 weeks old.

[@nicolechambers738]

I have some cetrotide as well, and maybe some menopur as well. If you need it, I can look at trying to get it to you for the IVF in September!

[@jacolinecruise3729]

I wish you all the best for your journey. IVF is a serious process and procedure. Not every clinic can perform this well. I am getting done mines from Bitexcom. They are well equipped and sterilized. They are providing people so much hygiene. They really care about their patient's health.

[@annataylor4421]

Starting is alwasy been difficult. But my dear, dont lose hope and stay positve. One of my friend also had a baby through IVF in BioTexCom. She face some difficulties in the start but everything went well after sometime. So dear, wish you best of luck for the future.

[@rubypadalecki4680]

You two look so beautiful together. I pray that all goes successfully for you. Ivf is tough. But, an exciting journey. You get to have your own biological child. The roller coaster journey you are going to ride is amazing. I am also going for IVF from BioTexCom. My first cycle has failed. Now, I am planning for the second. I hope things go smoothly. :)

[@areebaqamar3220]

You both are such an adorable couple. Wishing you the best of this journey. You both are looking so cute together. Hope everything will be in your favor. Biotexcom is doing great in serving their patients. They have the high success rate of IVF. You can go there for your successful treatment. Good luck.

[@sandrawhite7968]

I'm glad you guys are back! It's such an exciting time. I'm so glad you guys are taking it in a positive way. I really hope this works out for you. Good luck to you! Don't lose hope, alright? Lots of love and baby dust your way!

[@emlyepic5842]

You both are very cute. IVF is not very easy. My friend also in process of IVF. It's very painful. But she testified from biotexcom. She said to me their staff is very good. I will pray that she will be a mother soon.

[@lteel3143]

I, for one, have missed you guys so... your honesty in sharing your journey has helped many. Never give up your dream, God has placed that desire in your heart and I believe "in His time" your baby will come. Praying that all goes well.

[@ashleytodd3414]

I used ovasital and it does not have side effects. I never really found anything that it dissolved well into though. However, I am in a hurry a lot so I just put it in whatever was convenient. I did ivf with genetic testing in 2016 and I told this to someone who was concerned about the ethics of it. (These are totally my feelings and they do not have to be yours.) No one does genetic testing so we can make sure our kids have blue eyes or are a specific gender. If you are at a point where you need to do genetic testing, it’s because you have been through something terrible. Wish you guys all the luck!

[@MeettheWheelers]

It dissolves well into water but you have to give it like 5 mins. I just drink it anyway before it’s dissolved 🤷🏻‍♀️ Yes, PGS isn’t something we are using to be “picky” about our baby! But we are 5.5 years into this and feel like this is our next best option for a healthy baby.

[@vonjasolomon8511]

You both look cute together! Best of luck with your journey! I hope you do conceive. Stay calm and strong! It can really work for you. We are also heading for surrogacy this month at biotexcom in Kiev. Let us know when is the good news! I hope you conceive.

[@stephaniestallin635]

It is a great video to watch. I know people have been going through a lot and their life has changed for the better after going for it. Best of luck.

[@lolmoney5378]

You guys are so cute! I hope everything goes on smoothly in your procedures. I am so happy to know the world is now actually opting for these procedures. I went to the bio tex clinic in Ukraine for surrogacy. It was an amazing experience for me I have a little one now. I hope you guys get one too :')

[@constancekelso7265]

I am so excited for you guys! You will definitely be in my prayers. When we were told we had to do IVF because my endometriosis your journey helped me so much. I have watched since the very beginning. So excited to see what’s in store for your future.

[@leahmegerle4107]

We just transferred our only two embryos this past Friday July 6th.. I have 1 cetrotide in the fridge...if we are blessed with this IVF cycle working..you are welcome to my cetrotide! 😊 Thinking of y’all

[@lillygeorge5610]

Hello. I hope you are fine. It's great to see your journey. I am sure things will be fine. You guys will be parents soon. Just stay strong, okay? I had my baby after getting an IVF treatment too. My 2nd attempt was successful. My treatment was done by Biotexcom. I am hoping the same success for you too. Sending baby dust your way.

[@kimberlynathaniel4273]

Hello, guys. Hope you're alright. You must be so excited! This is a new journey. My suggestion to you would be to keep the faith. I have no doubts that it'll happen. Good luck and good day!

[@monikadavid3915]

This is such an amzing news. I am so excited for you. I hope everything goes well for you. Just be positive and stay confident. I have also finally opted for surrogacy from Ukraine. I am positive about the process. The clinic is experienced and has professional doctors. I hope it is a success for us.

[@ChelseaHansen]

Wahoo! Good to see you back! All the best to you guys on your next IVF journey! We're gearing up for our first FET and will be following along.

[@MeettheWheelers]

Thank you!! Good luck on your FET! ❤️❤️

[@miladeen6862]

Hi. You are so amazing. Many women lose hope after infertility. I went for IVF. But it failed. I later went for a few other cycles. But nothing worked. I was so devastated. I was worried about me. Well, I didn't lose hope. I am now planning to go for surrogacy. I need prayers.

[@danielles4820]

So happy to see this update from you guys! I've been watching you guys since the beginning and I really hope this IVF cycle is the one for you. I was going through a really hard time in my infertility journey when I found your IVF videos. I did two IVF cycles in Nov 17 and February 18. My doctor did not think we needed PGS testing due to our age and infertility diagnosis (MFI and endometriosis) so we decided to skip it and I wish we hadn't. I miscarried with both of my cycles. The first one we transferred one embryo and the second we transferred 2. All of them were the highest grade. The doctor has tested me for everything under the sun related to miscarriage and I've come back negative. We'll never know if it was the embryos or my body. If I could go back I would test my embryos. I also wanted you to know that I have some left over boxes of menopur. Let me know if it's part of your protocol and I'll send it to you. We are doing one last frozen transfer with our left over embryos and we will not be starting over with a new cycle if it's not successful. I'll be doing my transfer in November. The waiting is so hard. I am also trying to get my body "baby ready." I'll be praying for you guys!

[@MeettheWheelers]

I am so sorry!! Miscarriages are SO hard and nothing can prepare you for them :( ours looked good as well but ended in miscarriages :( Right baby, right time, girl! Not also easy to think that way but it is sooo true! Praying for you as you walk through your next transfer! I’m like 99% sure we are using menopur again!

[@danielles4820]

Meet the Wheelers Yes I agree. All we can do is hope and pray that one day one of these babies comes home with us. I just checked and I have 3 unopened boxes of menopur 75 IU, there are 5 vials in each box. They don't expire until 10/18. I would love to send them to you. Just send me your address and I'll send them your way :)

[@MeettheWheelers]

Thank you sooo much! Can you shoot us an email so I don’t post my address on here? [e-mail]

[@pheobe1237]

Best of luck to you guys in this journey. I wish everything will be alright with you. You don't have to worry. You must always take great care. Be with each other. Everything will be alright.

[@laurene1389]

Wishing you the very best. I strongly encourage you to do PGS testing--if an embryo is found to be incompatible with life, there is no reason to put your body through the stress of a transfer.

[@peonyjihyuny]

My husband and I have the same ethical concerns about PGS testing, but we thought that one way around it could be to transfer a genetically “normal” embryo along with one that is not. That way you’re giving each embryo a chance :) also, saves you money on transfers?! 😂 IVF can be such a rollercoaster. Wishing you both the best!

[@oliviabrown3165]

Hi there, how are you? I am happy for you. I hope IVF will work for you. Keep us updated regarding your journey. Good luck for your journey. My friends consulted Biotexcom for IVF. Luckily she succeeded in the first cycle. You should also try them. They are the best in this field.

[@angela1981]

I've been trying to get pregnant for 3 years with no luck due to husbands low and slow sperm, and we thought about Ivf. I've been watching lot of people's videos of their ivf journeys bit most were a year and two into their stories and the title of the videos gave away the outcomes, so I was like man I wish I could catch someone starting a new cycle like this week and boom I watched a few of your videos and found this one only posted a few days ago! Yay I can't wait to watch this journey with y'all and wish y'all the best of luck and lots of baby dust!

[@MeettheWheelers]

Are you going to be doing IVF yourself? We are excited to have you on our journey with us! It’s a crazy crazy train but having that baby in the end is worth EVERY injection!

[@angela1981]

Meet the Wheelers , I so would try IVF, but we can't afford it unfortunately. So we just try every month and pray for a miracle one day. I have a teenager already from a previous relationship. But my husband doesn't have any and he wants one badly. It hurt to see him in tears when he found out he has the low and slow count.. thank you for responding 😀

[@hilarymarcacci1295]

I'm so glad you're back!!

[@MeettheWheelers]

We are too! ❤️ see you soon at Lund?

[@eudorathompson9524]

How are you? Good to know that you are thinking of alternatives. It is a good thing that you are not losing hope. IVF is a good process. But sometimes it may cause complications. It may lead to failures of the cycles. These failures make the patient depressed. Surrogacy is the best alternative compared to IVF. Ukraine is the best place. My all best wishes to you whatever you do.

[@bettycooper4127]

My best wishes are with you. I hope this comes easy on you. I remember my IVF. I was horrified. Thank god the doctor at Biotexcom was patient. He took all my tantrums :p I was very stubborn. I gave all of them a very hard time.

[@karsynnetony9095]

Hi there. Thanks for uploading this video. It is really great. Congratulations guys! Really emotional video. I hope your kid brings you lots of joy and happiness. Take care. God bless.

[@laurastevens1295]

Hello, guys. How are you doing? I really hope this cycle works for you. My prayers are with you guys. Keep the faith. Good luck to you, too! Lots of love and baby dust your way.

[@MeettheWheelers]

Thank you!! We are excited that this could be our time :) thanks for joining us!

[@corbyb8118]

I went to POMA for IVF and ended up with identical twins after a couple of chemical miscarriages and cancelled cycles. It’s a crappy road but it can have a happy ending.

[@MeettheWheelers]

Did you transfer two or did the embryo split? Congrats!!

[@corbyb8118]

Egg split. We were hoping to do more but I ended up with cervical cancer. Congratulations guys!

[@lindarussell7920]

Every tough road leads to a beautiful journey. I am so sorry that you had to struggle this much. I know it is not easy. You are really brave to handle all this. I have also gone for IVF. But, still stood strong. I hope and pray this cycle works for you. BioTexCom had been a great support in my journey. Which clinic are you referring to by the way?

[@bricoley]

yayhh! I'm so excited to go on the journey with you again! love you guys!!!

[@pheobe1237]

Many best wishes to you guys. Always try to look for the complications that might occur. That would be really great for you. You don't have to worry. Just be strong. Everything will be great.

[@nataliethunderbolt3381]

ICSI was a win for us! Best of luck to you both!

[@angelbirmin8352]

You both make the best couple. I am glad you both have the support of each other. Just be positive and I am sure things will work out. Don't let negativity strike your way. I have been trying for soo long but haven't given up. I am visiting a clinic in Ukraine for my treatment. I hope it works for us. I am just confident that whatever will happen will be good for me.

[@amyg2328]

Can't wait to watch you guys go through IVF again!!! I've been watching you from the beginning! Sending lots of positive vibes and baby dust your way! I see a baby Wheeler in the future!!!!

Thank you!! We are excited to go again!

[@saleenaadams8326]

It's nice to see you again! I am expecting your new video. I hope everything goes sleekly for you. May this baby brings never-ending joys to your life. Biotexcom is best in providing these treatments. They are helping infertile in the best way. Wishing very well of you and your family.

Hello. Thanks for sharing this video. It encouraged me a lot. I am also planning to go for IVF from BioTexCom. I am very hopeful for it. I believe one should always be hopeful in all circumstances. I will always keep struggling with this journey. I wish you good luck!

[@angelbirmin8352]

This is all so exciting. I hope everything goes amazing. I have been watching a lot of your videos. I love them all. I hope this IVF process works out for you guys. I have also opted for surrogacy from BioTexCom. I am looking forward to the procedure. I can't wait for the final day's arrival.

[@stephanied6451]

Please ask your Dr. about an ERA test if you haven't done so already. I had 3 cycles fail before doing this and my 4th stuck, also was a natural FET with my final embryo

[@mariahoneybee356]

Dear, Do you know? It’s a great opportunity waiting for us in August. The whole Biotex team is coming to the UK. They have their plans to meet people there. They wanted to spread the awareness. They want to tell people that it’s really good and all. I heard that they have limited seatings. You must try that. It would be great.

[@veronicarocha6940]

I udnerstand your stance on PGS testing, but for as much as you have been through, I would encourage that you seriously consider it this time.

[@hannahrichard2024]

You guys look so happy! Must be. I mean this is huge! I really hope for the best for both of you! It's gonna be amazing. I can just feel it! it'll be alright! What clinic are you visiting? I went to Ukraine for my surrogacy since it was a lot more affordable there

[@nancyben9398]

Hi, how are you? I have heard IVF is a good process. You will have your own baby. You can be a mother. This is a very nice video. Thanks for sharing this. Infertile woma=en are very depressed. They need our support. we have to motivate them. Good luck with your journey.

I wish it'll be great for you. You must take great care of yourself. I hope everything will be alright for you. You don't have to worry. Just take great care of yourself. Everything else is dependent upon your team. Just be strong.

[@horisam9905]

I’m excited about this journey again and I’m so positive that this will be your success cycle!! Sending you all the love and positive vibes. I find BioTexCom as a good surrogacy record and a positive review too.

[@hannahkayee831]

I'm praying for you guys. I have my miracle baby. 5 miscarriages I had a stillborn daughter in 2010 due to turners syndrome and it was beyond devastating.. I got pregnant again in 2013 and I again had the same thing that they saw flags in the 12 weeks blood test (I know it's controversial but I wanted to be prepared) after you have one loss your prepared to be sad again.. But I have a beautiful daughter who is my world.

[@MeettheWheelers]

Omg! Sooo sorry you had to walk through that :( I can’t even imagine!

I would highly suggest you read this article before making your decision about PGS testing: www.thecut.com/2017/09/ivf-abnormal-embryos-new-last-chance.html PGS testing only tests a tiny fraction of the cells in each embryo and it is possible that the abnormal cells could end up forming the placenta instead of the baby (and hence the baby would be healthy) or that the abnormal cells could even self-correct. The article mentions many studies where people have tried to implant abnormal PGS embryos and in all the cases mentioned a still decently high proportion of people have gotten pregnant and those pregnancies have resulted in perfectly healthy babies. This is another reason why my husband and I decided not to PGS test (besides the fact that we consider our embryos already our human children and wouldn't want to be the ones to make the decision to not try to continue their lives). Also, I would even add that embryos growing too slow or with high degrees of fragmentation have a chance at life that shouldn't be ignored. After having a first fertilization cycle where we had no embryos left to freeze on day 5/6 out of 9 that fertilized, we did another fertilization cycle from my leftover frozen eggs with a day 3 transfer. On day 3 we were beyond devastated (AGAIN!!!) to learn that there were only 3 out of 9 embryos still alive and those embryos were all 5 cells (supposed to be about 8) and all had about 50 percent fragmentation so they were all rated as "poor" embryos. We put in all 3 (instead of our intended 2), but we "knew" they were going to die and we were again so depressed and looking forward to the next month's plan. Well, low and behold one of those little 5-cell, poor quality embryos was still a fighter and apparently pushed all that fragmentation crap out of the way, because she is now our little miracle girl at 36 weeks gestation and looking healthy on all her ultrasounds!!! I know PGS could potentially save some time or heartache, but from what I've read it could also lead to discarding a potentially perfectly healthy child. Each couple has to make their own decision, but I wanted to make sure you at least read that article and maybe even considered stories like mine (not PGS related but still embryo quality related) before you made your final decision. I hope that helps.

Love you guys! So excited for this journey. Will the September date just be the start of stimulation and egg retrieval or transferring an embryo?Would you be doing fresh or frozen transfer this time? Can you tell us what will happen with all the adoption paperwork you did? Will it still be good to use at a later time? I have adopted myself and know the work involved in it, so just wondered. Are you in your new home? I would love a new home tour if you can. Sorry for all the questions, just have missed you guys. Maybe you and Alex will be pregnant together If they transfer this fall too! That would be amazing!

[@MeettheWheelers]

We will start stim injections in September! Because we are testing our embryos, they will all be frozen so we will do an FET later on... not sure when yet. Our homestudy just expired and our consultant expires in December so unfortunately the paperwork isn’t good for much longer

[@faithhopelove560]

Thanks for the update!!! I am praying for you guys.

[@mrssarahjane79]

I get so excited when I see a new video from you guys on my feed!! I can’t wait to see the video of your sweet birth vlog!! Sending lots of love and prayers!! #PrayingForBabyWheeler

[@MeettheWheelers]

Thank you ❤️ Mason and I were just discussing our “birth plan” 😂 a little early but it’s fun to talk about

[@mrssarahjane79]

Meet the Wheelers never to early! It’s awesome because you both will know what each of you do and don’t want! You two are going to be amazing parents! And I am so grateful to be able to come along on this journey so to speak!

[@clairemason2962]

Hello there, I wish you best of luck for your future. I appreciate your sharing this video with us. I wish i had made a vlog of my journey of surrogacy. It was a beautiful experience and the Biotecom team was super efficient. I am very grateful to them.

[@aurorachavez2517]

So excited for you two!! I just did my last frozen embryo transfer on friday hoping this finally works. Are you using lupron in your protocol? I have two boxes one expires september???

[@MeettheWheelers]

Yep, lupron is on the list! Ahhh!! Is your patience being tested?! Waiting after a transfer is so hard!!

[@aurorachavez2517]

Meet the Wheelers aaahhhh! Yes ita such an emotional rollercoaster and i have no patience, my husband an i have been through a lot as you two have, so we are just waitng for something to go right. I will be happy to send those lupron boxes your way you can email me your info to [e-mail]

[@ezabellauris8749]

So happy you guys look. I would wish you both all the luck and happiness. Best of luck. Have a good life.

[@lucasheva1166]

same problem for me and my girlfriend . good luck guys! (from italy)

[@maryjames7890]

Hey there Guys. You both are really strong. really glad to see this. I hope you get everything you want. Please take care. Reminds me of my time at biotexcom a great fertility clinic in Ukraine. Good luck and lots of love.

[@samanthacollins5698]

Good to see you guys after a long time. I'm glad that you're going for an IVF treatment. It sure is a painful procedure but the result is worth all the pain, trust me. I also had a son through an IVF process at Biotexcom clinic. The clinic is amazing at their services. They have the best doctors and the programs are very affordable. Anyway, I wish you guys all the best!

[@aidancash1]

So nice to see a video from you. Goodluck with IVF. Ha Ha the dogs and bones. Totally relate to that.

[@marycn8960]

With male factor infertility the sperm most times have DNA Issues I understand your concerns about Pgs but I think in this case it is necessary. It’s more money and pain for her to keep going through transfers only to miscarry: sometimes you can have 10 embryos but only one is viable. We are not even talking about not giving a child with disabilities a chance no. Most if there is DNA fragmentation in your sperm the embryos could be severely affected and are not going to make it anyways.

[@MeettheWheelers]

This was our thought exactly. Miscarriages are HARD and if we can avoid that by doing PGS, then we will! And if we still end up miscarrying, then that was meant to be. Glad to have you along with us❤️

[@marycn8960]

Meet the Wheelers Yes miscarriages are hard on a women’s body. It can even be life threatening and lets not even talk about scarring in the uterus if she has to have them surgically removed. Take a look at gabe and babe tv channel. They have male factor infertility, they also had the same concerns with pgs and pgd but went ahead and did it and out of quite a few embryos only one was healthy and that was their baby girl.

[@amycrelin3473]

Could you tell me about your experience so far with the Ovasitol? I’m on Metformin for my PCOS since May. I can get past the symptoms but it almost put me in the hospital when I got sick because it exacerbated my dehydration. I didn’t know about Ovasitol & I’ll do some research but I wanted to know your experience so far... Also - YAY for IVF! Baby dust your way ❤️🍍

[@MeettheWheelers]

I absolutely LOVE it! I loathe metformin. It’s nasty and it’s horrible for you. Ovasitol tastes like nothing, literally. Twice a day you dissolve a scoop into water or whatever drink. I’ve had zero side effects! My acne is finally clearing up 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 I’m on my first period since taking it and it’s so light

[@satashajones5403]

hey, cute couple. congratulations. hope this new journey gets successful. all the best. wish me luck too. ill be going to Biotexcom too for surrogacy. fingers crossed. let's hope for the best. prayers needed. take care.

[@l.c.4219]

Just posting about this because I saw others recommending PGS. I did PGS and had two normal embryos implanted and didn’t get pregnant. It doesn’t always work and it was expensive. PGS only knows the number of chromosomes, and not every genetic marker. It is not fool proof. Yes, better chance, but not guaranteed. And sometimes an abnormal embryo could be normal. Anyway, don’t mean to talk about the downside so much, but wanted to share. So I am supportive of you both not doing PGS.

[@samantharogers2524]

Hi, How are you? This is a very cute vide. I am very happy for you. Surrogacy is a blessing. It has helped many women. Thanks for this video. Take care of yourself. Stay strong. Good wishes

[@emilyjones3909]

hey. you both look so cute together I am so happy for you both. best of luck for the journey. me and my husband will soon be starting off with surrogacy journey I guess we both are on the same boat. let's pry for each other. lots o love. take care.

[@OldAcres8690]

We had 9 embryos that made it to the blastocyst phase. We only had 1 that came back normal 2 came back inconclusive. If we did not do the PGD testing we would have transfer 8 embryos before we got to our 1 normal. We just started our transfer medication. We transfer later this month. Exciting and scary at the same time for the 1 that we have that is normal.

[@brittanybuse7538]

I just got put on metformin again started yesterday 850mg and I haven’t felt horrible (so far) lol we’ll see how the rest of the time goes. I hope all goes well for both of us!!! 💕💕💕

[@MeettheWheelers]

Look into Ovasitol. Seriously, amazing!

[@brittanybuse7538]

Meet the Wheelers took my second pill of metformin last night (I was told to take it before bed) I didn’t have any problems. If I start having issues like I was before I will for sure look into Ovasitol I’ve nothing but good things about it. My Dr said if I were to switch to something else it just get a bit more expensive. My insurance has been really good with all the Dr visits I’ve gone to since I’ve started TTC this time around. Now it’s just to get me to ovulate.
