Preparing my body for Frozen Embryo Transfer | FET protocol and hormones |

I'm finally back in Korea preparing for my frozen embryo transfer (FET)! After seven back-to-back IVF egg retrievals last year, I am more than ready for my rainbow baby (or babies)! In this video, I share the medication I've been prescribed to prepare for my embryo transfer. Many forms of estrogen and progesterone to thicken and prepare my uterine lining for implantation. I share details of the steps I've taken after each doctor's appointment and also how the hormones have been rather difficult to deal with this time around.
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 had 4 egg retrieved, and 2 where fertilized, Today 2/26/24 is my embryo transferred. ❤ Kudos to all aspiring mothers, great job .Keep praying and believing! God is good.

@@hellynn_j My doctor here in Florida refused me to test the 2 embryos, She said it's better to have fresh transfer & give chances to the embryos, than to do PGT. She believes based on her studies that the embryo self correct once with Mother's womb. I found a doctor who have same perception like I do. I have symptoms now mild abdominal cramps, low back pain, GI upset, and headache. Hoping for the best for everyone.👏👏👏

My condoleances on the loss of your grandma. Also, sending you good thoughts as you're getting closer! You're very brave and have come such a long way. I'm 42 with low AMH and in the process of doing something similar (moving to a different country to go through multiple cycles of embryo banking before FET). So when I say you're an inspiration, I mean it literally ❤

@hellynn_j 4 месяца назад

Aww, thank you so much. It's been a weird month, a lot of losses. But in my experience, you lose something right before you're about to gain something, so I have faith that everything will work out. I wish you the absolute best in your new journey, keep me updated on your progress 💖

@hellynn_j 4 месяца назад

Hi! These meds except for the estrogen are all new and just for the embryo transfer. For egg retrievals, it was mainly FSH injections and the shot to prevent ovulation, and the trigger shot. Oh, we also prepped with chlomid once.

I’m going through my second IVF round at the moment. I know you did PGTA testing on two of your embryos but did you decide not to test the rest ? I don’t know what to do but I think I’ll test.

@hellynn_j 3 месяца назад

Hi there, I decided not to test because I don't have a lot of eggs to begin with. But if I had normal AMH levels and produced more eggs then I totally would. I just don't think that 5-6 cells tell the whole story and sometimes good mosaics can be thrown out which is something i can't afford. Testing is a very personal choice... I wish you the best of luck.❤

can i ask you how much time you waited for a repeated stimulation when you mentioned 'back to back' stimulation? thank you Hellynn!

Every month! Sometimes less than a month. I would do about three in a row and take a month off. Would monitor via scans to make sure I was okay after each retrieval

Did you use same egg retrieval protocols? What was your most successful protocol? Did you take a month off between retrievals?

@hellynn_j 4 месяца назад

Hi! Every protocol was different. But they always prescribed whatever medicine on the spot bc I could just pick up the meds downstairs at the hospital so I wouldn't say there was a specific protocol...rather constant moderation of dosage after each scan every few days. My best was when we did a higher dose of 225iu AM and 150iu PM of follitrope. I would do mostly month to month retrievals but after 3 months in a row I would usually take a break!

I m 39 i had my egg retreival on 28feb, only 2 eggs retrieved and later i came to know both were immature i m so dishearten what should i do?

@hellynn_j 4 месяца назад

Aww I'm so sorry to hear that. I know that some labs can take immature eggs and develop them further outside of the body before trying to fertilize. Maybe you can talk to your doctor about that option? I've had a retrieval before with two eggs and neither made it so I understand the feeling. But the next round i was able to get five eggs and two blasts.

@vanessakirk7009 4 месяца назад

Wow I’m surprised your doctor let you inject PIO using a thin needle. Mine was thick and it was in the butt muscle. 😂 Good luck!

There are different types of shots! Mine was subcutaneous. Yours must have been intramuscular. Still... thin needles better😆
