Infertility story time... this is a recap of my 4th egg retrieval and getting sick with COVID19 before my 4th round of IVF treatments. I ended up getting COVID while traveling in Jeju... and I share my symptoms, what my fertility clinic told me, and the potential effects COVID had on my results this cycle. In addition, I share how we prepped my body in order to block my dominant follicle from growing solo. Overall, it's an update about my 4th IVF egg retrieval and my learnings as I continue this IVF journey abroad in Korea.
About me ❤
My name is Hellynn and live in the US, but I've traveled to Korea (where I'm from) to undergo multiple rounds of IVF. Being 40 and trying to bring children into the world is hard, but I also have a condition called diminished ovarian reserve so I'm doing back-to-back IVF egg retrievals.
Navigating this world of infertility is definitely a challenge - a million new acronyms, hormones and protocols to learn - it's a lot. So I thought I'd just talk about everything I've been learning for the women out there who have had similar struggles. I'm also happy to share info with anyone who is interested in traveling to Korea for IVF, since it's much more cost efficient + high success rates here.
I am treating this YT channel as my diary, talking about the ups and downs of my journey to motherhood so that one day, hopefully, my babies will see how they were created... with fierce, enduring strength and love.
I hope you find my videos helpful - thanks for stopping by.

I am back your channel again. So sorry that you caught covid. but don't be too harsh on yourself. You are doing so so well. All that you feel is valid and needed. it is unavoidable to feel what you feel while on a tough journey. There is one thing I think how would I be stronger when things hit me. And I think about the classic quote ' it is not the destination, it is the journey' ( like can I enjoy the journey to reach the destination) do that with IVF. My partner thinks I am crazy cos what we want is the destination!. But I still thinking about it cos I know that my journey will not be easy and I want to be strong when the path is rough. .I wish you many healthy eggs that go through the embryo stage next round. I will come round. Sending you light and love Hellynn. On a side note I feel less lonely and inspired every time I watch your video. Perhaps it is your modesty and your way of talking. It is quite personal and calming. It made me think of doing a channel about my journey too

You are absolutely right! There was a moment when that saying really hit home. I knew it intellectually but I think I didn't really get it until after my 5th retrieval. This moment will never come again. I have to be in the now. Thank you so much for coming back! You should totally share your story too, I would definitely come and check it out. Wishing you lots of happiness today. ❤

Some cycles are canceled when you get covid, but mostly when you are super sick with a fever and when closer to the retrieval!

Did you have the covid vaccines? Did they recommend any boosters?
@hellynn_j
@hellynn_j 6 месяцев назад
Hi 👋 I did get the vaccine a couple of months before starting my first cycle of IVF. It had been about 6 months after when I caught it! My hospital tells me it’s fine to get vaccines and it won’t affect IVF.

@@hellynn_j Price is right! Do the prices u mentioned include medication? Do the clinics offer treatment to women who want to be single mothers by choice ie: donor sperm? S. Korea might be my next stop. Thank you for your reply.
@hellynn_j
@hellynn_j 9 месяцев назад
@@crystalbee9706 Yes, including meds! This is one area I found Korea to be so outdated.. they require women to be married for IVF (maybe not for foreigners though.. but they def don’t have donor sperm available so you would probably have to source your own and ship to korea) They’re so modern with everything else except for their strange, conservative laws. Heard they are working on changing that now.

@@hellynn_j Oh no. Unfortunately, most countries have the same conservative laws as S. Korea re; IVF being for married people only which sux coz S. Korea has a reputation for high standards and excellence. Do a lot of the locals speak English in S. Korea? Can you recommend a good IVF clinic for me? Thank you for your reply.
