    Hello there! I went through ivf after finding out I had stage 4 endo and struggling to get pregnant for a couple years. I was very young and it was quite traumatic to go through our fertility journey but I am so thankful that fertility treatments and procedures exist! I have two children now and one frozen embryo left if we choose to have another little one 💜

    I went through ivf at the age of 39 after. We tried it 3 times and then we decided to stop the treatment because it was too hard for my body. So we searched for other alternatives. Surrogacy was forbidden in Germany at that time so we decided to adopt a child. It was the best decision we ever made. My son was 1day old when he came to us and now he is 9 years old. We are so thankful and happy. You are still young it will work and if not there are a lot of alternatives.

    Wishing you the best of luck! I was lucky enough to work for a hospital where employees have our IVF procedures 100 percent free. I only had to pay the coinsurance for the drugs which was around 3,500$. I did one round and got 24 embryos but in the end only 1 made it to genetic testing. I was devastated. Now I have a 3 year old beautiful son! It just takes one good embryo sometimes!

  • @jenniferhughes203
    @jenniferhughes203 2 года назад +6

    We had the same number as you. Had one great embryo, I felt the exact same disappointment you went through. He is now nearly 2! Just wanted to let you know you are not alone. Sending lots of love and hope

    Watching this while I burp my sweet baby boy who is just over 5 weeks. I went through years of Thyroid meds, Clomid, and ovulation tests. 3 IUIs, 2 rounds of IVF meds, 2 egg retrievals and 2 embryo transfers. After 3 years, it happened. Stay positive, it can be a long process but it will be worth it!

    Also for anybody reading you can write an appeal letter to your insurance (if you feel up to it) explaining in detail with doctors notes and such why you believe you should get coverage. Ask for what you want and a back up and what you’ll do if they say no. And in some cases, even if your insurance doesn’t cover ivf, you might get some reimbursement 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

    Hey guys thank you so much for sharing! I’m in the same situation being 33 with extremely low AMH. You absolutely right-learning this information about yourself is very devastating and yes you go thru stages: broken heart crying, accepting, setting up positivity and being grateful for the support. Universe has her own plan for each one of us, so just stay cool and positive. Happy to see all these beautiful comments and support here (and I feel sorry for haters with mean comments because they should be soooo miserable to say bad things in this super private and sensitive topic, but I guess haters gonna hate regardless 🤷🏼‍♀️)
    Keep going!

    I think you're so brave for putting yourself, body and mind, through all this. My mum and my very best friend both had to go through a lot in order to have a kid, my mum had 4 miscarriages before me and my pregnancy was a difficult one, having those close experiences in my life makes me appreciate and admire you guys and all the people going through the same. Sending you all the good energy ❤

  • @paulama113

    This is an unbelievably tough time for you guys. I believe you guys will make it through this challenging part and come through with one, two and possibly more embryos. I’m glad you’re sharing this very private part of your life and hopefully can look back later with your beautiful kids and show them these videos. How brave and strong you guys were and are.

    I wish you the best in all things! Im getting ready to do my 4th IVF cycle. I know what an emotional rollercoaster this journey is. I have great AMH (2.4)for my age 41, but I have quality issue and I respond like a POR. So I've got a lot working against me. But is God is bigger than the problem and Im holding onto that miracles do happen!

  • @DS-os1ck

    You have absolutely nothing to be shameful nor embarrassed about! Don’t you ever feel this way! Women are unique, at times we go through a lot of sh** in life! Keep your hope and your faith! Remember when you were first starting this journey, I said “You Got This” !! Whatever is God’s will for you, it will be.

    Hi guys, wish you a lot of luck with fertility journey.
    Altough I´m so sorry about the costs, which makes this journey so inaccessible for the majority of people in USA.
    I live in Germany, and as far as I know, 1 round of IVF costs about 3000 Euro inclusive medication (ca.3400 USD I think), and half of the costs will be paid (for the first 3 rounds) by our general insurance which everyone has from law.
    I´m very sorry that there medical centers there make it a huge business instead of willing to help people to have kids which is essential for society.
    You could maybe plan to spend some month(s) in the future in Europe, do the treatment here and save x amount of money.

  • @s.ga21
    @s.ga21 2 года назад

    Dear Ashley, watching your video brings me back to my personal experience with IVF. I went through the same experiences as you, but here (Spain) the egg retrievel is without anestesia.
    For me, the first round was quite "easy" too, but the second and third round was quite painful but that does not mean that I will be for you the same way. Please, don't be sad about just having one embryo. Keep being positive. That helps, although I know that it is not always easy specially with all the hormone overflow in your body.
    I send you a lot of positive vibes and wish for you both that your dream comes true. Best wishes, S.
