My husband, Mondo and I have been dealing with infertility for close to 10 years. I have never been pregnant and have been given the diagnosis of Unexplained Infertility. In the midst of our IVF process, polyps were found in which we had to get rid of them. We are in the middle of the IVF process to help grow our family. We are approaching our first frozen embryo transfer in mid May. Walk with us while we plunge into the crazy world of IVF.

Thank u for sharing. I am now into my 6th year and i 😢 relate to everything you are referring to ❤❤❤❤
@@lucywairimu-v8l You’re so welcome. I know it’s hard to deal with this reality but know that there’s hope if you’re willing to not let go of your dream of having children. I now have a daughter and son and they have been so worth the wait. Wishing you all the very best for your family. ❤️
God bless you
@@leoglendene4335 Thank you. 😊
Am 49, ivf, my symptoms almost is same as u
@@tounsaka5935 Wishing you success! ❤️
Hi Salina! What was your protocol for this 2nd transfer?
@@mitch078 The only thing that changed was that I was on progesterone for 6 days prior to my transfer versus 5 day which is the standard. The ERA was what changed it.
Hi Salina! I know this is 5 years ago, but did this protocol worked especially with the Estrogen dose? Thank you.
@@mitch078 It didn’t work but it wasn’t the estrogen, it was the progesterone that needed a change in dosage.
Hi! I know this is late but congrats on your babies. Did you retest your 2 no DNA embryos? What were the results if you don't mind.
@@vickybenson8451 Hi! Thanks so much. We had 6 embryos after our egg retrieval. We sent them all in for testing per our doctor’s recommendation because of our age and 3 came back normal, 2 came back abnormal and 1 came back with no results. We sent the 1 back that had no results and it was chromosomally normal. We did not have the abnormal ones retested. That wasn’t an option they gave me.
@@letsmakelemonade5764 oh great! Sorry I meant the "no result" embryo. I have a "no result" embryo and was skeptical whether or not to retest. Thank you so much for responding so quickly. You have a beautiful family.
@@vickybenson8451 you are so welcome. I was told that I could retest at no charge so I figured I had nothing to lose. That will be the embryo that we will transfer in the next month or so.
@@letsmakelemonade5764 I wish you all the best!!! 🙏🏾❤️
@@vickybenson8451 I so appreciate it. You as well!
is genetic test recommended?
A lot of it depends on your age. The doctor will recommended it.
Hi Selena thank you for sharing your testimony. I’m listening at work Ive just been tearing up. I also been asking God is this what I should do. Should I continue with this FET cycle. Then I came across your video. This will be my 3rd transfer & I’m letting God take control. God put the name Esperanza in my heart. I believe He’s telling me to have Hope. My husband isn’t saved however going through this process God has been revealing himself to him. Please keep us in your prayers. 🤍
I most definitely will keep you in my prayers. Please keep me posted!
Thank you for this❤❤❤
How about 49 years old you think i have a change to ivf pregnant?
@@laylapalabiyik3238 you’re reproductive endocrinologist would be the best one to assess you and give you that answer. ❤️
How soon were you able to start trying?
@@stephanieramirez9365 I did this before IVF because I had tried to get pregnant for 10 years and nothing happened. I wasn’t very hopeful to try naturally. I did this a couple months before IVF.
I need to be more positive. I mean what a wonderful success story and so happy for her that she ended up having her miracle baby. I am 30 with stage 4 endometriosis and lost a tube to my ectopic pregnancy and prior to that I have had 3 biochemicals. We are just starting IVF and I am sitting here worried that I am not gonna have a child. I think some days it’s doable and some days it’s hard. I get in my head and these stories actually do help to keep a positive outlook. Thank you for sharing this!
@@razimirza I’m so glad it gave you some hope. Sometimes that’s all we can grab onto in order to make the next step. I pray you will find success on your journey.
Awww what a very blessed family of yours. So thankful to God for watching over you during this long process. Crying tears of joy❤ God bless your growing family 🥹
@@1TayK Thank you so much! ♥️
She is a witness of the Goodness of the Lord. He always makes a way. She did not lose hope
@@LILI-fc9ke He always makes a way!
Had 7 egg retrievals and scouring the internet for hysteroscopy because it’s something new and scared as I did my first egg retrieval because never been under anesthesia until this. I’m still embarrassed and vulnerable having my doc and team taking care of me. I’ve been more of helping people than people helping me esp when I’m completely knocked out and naked. But I know it’s just normal. And should be normalized. Just real feelings, but acknowledged and now to just prep for an fet.
Just beautiful moments
Yay!! So nice to see you again and Valentina and Isaiah!! They are so cute, of course!! My niece lives in Tampa and after living in California for many years. Look forward to seeing you more on RUclips!! ❤❤❤
Yay! Tampa is a great place too!
Wow! I was thinking about you about a month ago and wondered how I’d search for you, then this popped up!! I read your channel description and thought, “Oh, I’m sad she never had children!” But, then I saw your videos, and my sadness turned to great joy for you!
Awe…I’m so thankful things have turned around for my good! Thanks for your kind thoughts! 🥰
Thank you that was very encouraging!
Hi Salina! I just bawled my eyes out watching this video. Years ago when I started my IVF journey you were also starting yours and we were going through the exact same thing, felt like almost at the exact time. Every time I would click on one of your new videos it would be like what had happen to me that week lol Then you got pregnant with Valentina and a while after I got pregnant with Summer. I retracted from RUclips and IG and the world to enjoy my daughter lol she is now two months away from her second birthday and my husband and a I are back at the clinic to use a boy embryo and I decided to click and see if you were still doing videos. What a beautiful motivational surprise to see you and Mondo still growing your family Valentina is so big and Isaiah! God Bless and THANK YOU for sharing your journey it has really done so much for me! I need this!
Oh my gosh!! Thank you so much for your message! I sometimes wonder if it matters to keep going with making videos and it's messages like these that remind me that I wasn't alone on this journey and more importantly, others see that they're not alone on their journey. Congratulations on your precious baby girl. I do understand getting away from social media for a while. I too needed that for my soul. Well, thank you for stopping by and if you feel up to it, please let me know how the upcoming transfer goes. I pray you continue to find peace on this journey of yours. Blessings to you, my friend!
@@letsmakelemonade5764 Please dont stop! unless you need it for your soul of course. I do have one question, second time around for baby boy, were you in a different mind set then when you were trying before Valentina? Im just about to start it and im like, eh its gonna be whatever, I already have a baby if it doesnt happen its cool, im def not obsessed like the first time I wont be upset no biggie....but then what if thats not the case : / just dont know what to expect..is it easier for the body to get pregnant is that a myth? omg i sound obsessed already
@@Evelyn52209 Thank you for the encouragement! Oh yes, I think when you’ve wanted to be a Mommy for so long and then you become one, you are so grateful that you find yourself being somewhat content with the first baby and the feelings are a bit different the next go around. I have to honest and think it may be a little of a defense mechanism also. As you gear up for it, you may find that you care more about it. I’m going through the same thing though. I have a feeling I’m going to care more about our next transfer as we draw closer to it. I truly hope it works for you!!
@@letsmakelemonade5764 Thankyou! as I truely pray it works for you too! It probably is, wow that makes sense. Like trying to protect myself from feeling the way I did the first time around. Crazy. Ty for your responses. Means alot. If you and the fam are ever inthe NY/NJ area my husband and I own a bar and grill called The Port Tavern (kid friendly during the day : ) its in Elizabeth NJ right by Newark airport. Pay us a visit we our know for our Tacos and Tequila . Im going to follow you on IG.
My wife at the age of 39 is doing her first transfer next Tuesday. We just had our trigger shot today. I’m super nervous, excited and hopeful after hearing this thank you.
I truly wish you all the best in this season you find yourselves in. Blessings to you and your family. ❤️
Always beautiful ! We’ve missed you and glad you are back. So happy your family has been growing ! I started following you years ago when I was many years deep into our struggle in our case we weren’t getting any embryos and when we did they were testing abnormal and it wasn’t until almost 7 years after we started when we planned to give up on our final try [and yes I did ERA due to you thank you much ] using micro tesse for hubby that we finally got our first normal pgs embryos! Two are earth side now so thankful to God and His science and we also have one awaiting that we planning to implant and God willing baby takes. Praying for you and your family !
This is amazing!! Thank you so much for your response. Praise God for your miracles! You and I both will see what God does with the last embryo transfer. Blessings to you, my friend. 🥰
Have followed you for years so happy to see you back! You gave me so much hope and your grace and love for God shows! I’m now also a mom of two IVF babies after several years of struggle and we have our third and final embryo waiting and God willing baby will take soon! Praying for you !
Oh my gosh, that’s amazing! God is so good. I’m so glad you have your babies! The fight is not easy but those babies sure are worth it. May God continue to bless you and your family. Please keep me updated! ❤️
Saw it
Hi dear Salina, I wanted to send you a PM but was not able to find the PM option😅. I noticed you have a series of people telling thier successful ivf stories. I would love to tell my story, got pregnant at 38 after 2 failed IVF cycles!! if you are still willing to add one more story to that series, please contact me, I would love to spread hope about this matter!!
I love this. Thank you so much for sending a message. I have taken a break from this series but I have been seriously thinking about bringing it back up again. Maybe this is a sign that I should do it again. I will keep you in mind for sure and be in contact. Congratulations!!
@@letsmakelemonade5764 No, Thank YOU, that series was one of the main reasons I kept going and not give up✌✌✌
@@salybadri6205 Wow, that means a lot! 🩷
I saw it!!
Thank you!!
So cute didn’t know you had another baby so happy for you and your family such a beautiful family
Oh yes, he’ll be 2 in July! It’s been a busy household! 😁
Praying for you, i did mine on 27 April and God has been faithful ❤❤❤
That’s so wonderful! Congratulations to you and may God continue to bless you!
Yes we miss you😊
Awe…thanks for the comment! I miss connecting with you all too!
Hi!
Hi! Thanks for the comment!
Thank you for sharing these videos are so good & helpful! ❤
Thank you for sharing! ❤😢 I’m so tired of feeling alone… and disconnected from my fertile friends…
I totally understand. It’s a hard place to be. Not sure if you’ve seen any of my other videos but I now have two little miracles, a girl and boy. There is hope for you too. Wishing you all the best. 🤍
Beautiful to watch beautiful fam❤️though I'm going through difficult times with this journey so stressed painful and depressed but I trust God one day I will be a mother to my child 🙏
i'm having this done in a few days and super nervous and scared. thank you for being honest
You’re so welcome. I sure hope that it does smoothly for you. Best wishes to you.
May be may be not. But 1samuel 1:5_6 clearly tells us that the Lord had closed her womb(hannah) . Sometimes God allows us go through the storm,fires, difficult situations for the glory of His name. He even allowed Job go through hardtimes but the goid news us that if God is involved, He has a way if breakthrough
Is there any complications after conceive due to endometriosis. Was it a healthy pregnancy?
Thank you Sharon❤
This was so beautiful to watch. (currently crying while pregnant at the love and beauty)
Awe…congratulations on your pregnancy and baby to come!
Are you able to make a video about motherhood, postpartum, or a morning or night routine with kids?
I love that idea. Yes, I can do that. Thanks for sharing.
@@letsmakelemonade5764 Thank you!! 😊
This has literally changed my life I have been crying for the last hour I feel like I can finally feel GOD again
😭😭😭 God sees you, He loves you, You are not forgotten, my friend. 🫶🏻
Hey Salina! HAve followed you through both your pregnancies. I remember seeing both of the videos where you found out you were pregnant. I am still as happy for you now as I was then...and God blessed the broken road. Cheers to three little ones! 🥰
Such kind words…thank you so much for your support! ☺️♥️
My wife and I had found out our first IVF embryo transfer didn't work today. We will be going back for the second transfer in the coming weeks. Your story was so incredible that it made me break down in tears after watching this video. I know that we will never meet, but please know your video has given me the hope and strength that I needed and the strength to help my wife as we go through all this. We will keep praying and hoping for some luck. You have a beautiful family and congrats!
I am so sorry to learn that your first transfer wasn’t successful. That is a very hard thing to go through. It was very hard on us as well. There is certainly reason for hope. I sincerely pray that you guys will be able to experience things turned around for good. Hang in there. Feel free to reach out to me when things get better. 💕 Thank you for your kind words and may God bless you and your family.
"You know, and you know" 😵💫
Thank you for sharing your story. I am currently going through IVF and I have a plan to start documenting my journey as well so we can all continue supporting each other. I felt so alone in the beginning and I made a personal promise to never withhold my struggles from any woman who is also struggling with infertility and needs someone who can identify with. I completely resonate with all that you’ve shared. You had me crying. God bless you!
Awe… I applaud you for wanting to share with others. One thing that I’ve learned in my journey that there are so many women just like us hurting, and it really makes a difference when we support each other through this hard season in our lives. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions as you go along. You can find me on IG @letsmakelemonade_salina
I did NOT get the chance to float on clouds the day after the FET 😂 I got the stomach bug and fever the day after transfer, and called my clinic asking “is it normal to throw up multiple times the next day??” Lol no it was not, obviously. One week to still wait!!
Oh my goodness… what a time to get a stomach bug! Sending you all the sticky vibes! ❤️
Wow to GOD BE THE GLORY!!! Our Father God is so faithful! I am so happy for you guys. God bless you all ❤
Yes! He’s been so good to us!
I have followed you since a little before Valentina & have a similar story. God is so good! ❤
Hi there! Yes, so so good!
I watched all your videos when I was going through IVF. I had one failed transfer, then I decided to do the ERA test. They adjusted my medication and I was able to get pregnant with twin boys. They are now 3 years old!! I’m so happy that you had another successful pregnancy and your family is soo beautiful! God is amazing 🙏🙏
Congratulations! I am so happy for you and your family. That is awesome, I get questions all the time if the ERA is worth it, and I can’t say it’s worth it for every single person but for those individuals like us and others that I’ve talked to, it’s definitely been a game changer. Blessings to you all! ❤️
So glad your back!!
I remember your “2 lines” moment 🥹😭🙏🏼 I was crying with you!
😭😭😭
