I just went through my third transfer and I really just like hearing others stories and their process. Take it easy, enjoy your trip and wishing you the best! 💖
I'm so excited for you Ayla 😊 I'm currently 13 weeks and two days pregnant after having 3 miscarriages and being told that we wouldn't be able to have a viable pregnancy without donor eggs. We took a ttc break, saw a fertility naturopath, ate a vegan diet and tried to relax. Three months later we discovered we were pregnant. When it's meant to happen, it will, and I have such a good feeling about this cycle for you. Sending you all the baby dust and positive vibes 💕
I'm an old gramma who just happened to stumble upon this vlogg. Even though I myself have never experienced infertility, I find it interesting to just be a spectator to watch the hopeful journey of a young couple who are eager to start a family......whatever it takes. What makes your vlogg even more interesting for me is the fact that you also are a Canadian.......as are my husband & I. Thank you for being willing to share a bit of your journey to parenthood. Life for everyone is chock full of potholes & challenges! No one sails through unscathed!! But there are constant blessings daily!
I am so excited for your transfer!! I think it's great that it seems so right and like it couldn't be any other way. I felt so much the same when we had our successful transfer. It was weird to not be worried, but God just gave me so much peace about it. Praying that this is your miracle!
I totally get what you mean about trying not to stress about it. Personally, I decided to put it in its own box. Even taking the shots and meds can be a daily reminder to be nervous and anxious, but I tried my best to just be super routine about it and turn my brain off about it all. It's not that I wasn't being positive, it's just that I knew that the more I thought about it the more I woild stress about it. There's a point where you have to let go. You do allllll you can, and then it is out of your hands. And obsessing doesn't help. I really really hope that this is it for you guys. I am 17 weeks now, but even my pregnancy is in a bit of a box. I'm enjoying it more than the treatments, but I try to just take each day as it comes and trust that everything will be okay in the end.
Stephanie Bennett Do you know of Rachelle and Justin? They have a channel and after a still born lost both took a break, went back to try for a transfer and are expecting baby Emma soon. Rachelle is 32 weeks and is considered high risk, so everyone is praying for baby girl to make it till 36 weeks.
So exciting - I'm praying that this one works for you! I'd be interested in knowing more about your relationship with the donor family and how you envision that playing out in the future, if things are successful. Will you keep in touch with them? If so, will you be open with your child/children about the role they played in their conception, and how will they be referred to (family friends, special aunty and uncle, donors, etc.)? Really looking forward to following your journey and hoping so hard that this time next year you are parents!
I’m so excited for you guys as you move forward on this journey! It’s kind of strange but I had a nasty cold when I had IUI done for the first time and I then got pregnant with my son. Now five years later I had a nasty cold once again during my frozen embryo transfer. Which then turned into another successful pregnancy (I’m 30 weeks). Something about colds and me seems to coincide with getting pregnant successfully! I hope the same is true for you. I’m curious how you found the donor family? Hang in there with that progesterone in oil, the heating pad became my dear friend during those days!
I had a really bad cold during my ivf too. Maybe it's something to do with the drugs as a lot of people seem to get them. I'm so excited to follow your journey x
I'm interested to see everything that you are doing to prep for the transfer! I am going into embryo adoption without any experience with fertility treatments. I'm excited but entirely clueless and nervous about it all.
Idd like to follow with you and hear details as you do things.if you can. Why did the last one fail? This one will surely be one for you!I hope you are better before you have to travel. Being sick is miserable enough, and you need to start out strong with all the stuff you're going through with your body. Hope you feel a lot better soon.
I love that you moved away from the traffic to have a chat. Those cars totally would've distracted me! 😊 I'm so hopeful for the transfer! You've got this!
Hey Ayla! Don't know if you mentioned this in a video or not but just curious how many embryos you adopted and how many are you transferring at one time??
Can I just say that I did 4 IUI's and stressed about the first 3 but the 4th IUI I just had a kinda I don't care attitude and the 4th IUI worked! I don't know if that played a roll in the success but just thought I'd put that out there.
Did the donor family contact you through youtube? The two families will be a new extended family. It will be so positive and wonderful for your children to know their gift of life was a gift of love and trust. I feel this is far better for children than anonymous donation......and webs of dishonesty, so much healthier as identifiable donation.
Yes, definitely. When we were using my eggs, our chances were low because the embryos would be poor quality. This is our first time transferring a good quality embryo.. so it definitely helps :))
I saw your tweet and I thought you were just being lazy cause it was super late to be getting out of bed 😂😂😂😂😂 but now I know it's because you've been sick. I hope you feel better. 😁
