You had me crying too when you shed those tears of joy. The feeling of being grateful to God for someone you don't know is just amazing. I wish every couple desiring to have the fruit of the womb will have their heart desire. Shalom
My husband and I just decided to skip IUI and do IVF in the next couple of months. I'm a teacher, so I have to do it in the summer when I'm off. I'm so nervous. We are God people too. We keep praying, but I don't feel like I'm getting much direction back (so consequently, I'm so nervous). I don't know anyone that I has gone through IVF either. Thank you for sharing your story.
Kari, thank you so much for your sweet message. That is exciting you are doing IVF this summer! I will be praying for you daily! If any questions come up or you need a support buddy, let me know :)
@@HangWithTheBangs Thanks so much! It's so overwhelming at first. I have a million questions, but we just want to get the process started (hopefully, like you said, it makes more sense once you start). I'm now watching through all your videos!
@@kdorko aw you are the sweetest Kari! Yeah I really felt like during the process a ton of my questions were answered as we were rolling. I would keep a note tab in my phone with a list and would ask them anytime I met with a nurse or doctor!
yes those 2 weeks can be a long wait for sure! wahoo for a positive test result!! congrats! what wonderful news! Thanks so much for sharing the excitement with us! So wonderful!
Thank you so much for sharing your story and your faith in God throughout the process! I am currently doing the intramuscular injections and preparing for my first (frozen) embryo transfer and watching success stories on RUclips to keep my mind on faith. Y’all made me smile and feel at peace, in a time of crazy emotions! So thank you!
This is so lovely to watch. Infertility is in a lot of places still a taboo topic to talk about which is so wrong. We have been ttc for 32 cycles without luck. We wanted to start our IUI or IVF journey, a year after having a miscarriage but now corona ruins it. Such a nightmare but we will get there. It's just really lovely to watch success stories like these. The costs are ridiculous where you guys are. It's really crazy, we are so lucky that we have unlimited iui rounds and 3 ivf rounds per pregnancy covered by insurance. It's kind of ridiculous how much they charge for couples who can't have a baby, one of the most natural things and something most people want.
Thank you so much for sharing! I am so grateful you guys have such amazing IUI and IVF coverage! That is soooo amazing! Yeah its interesting how many people go through infertility but never share about it! Sharing about it really helped me through this journey! Sending lots of love and prayers your way! Hope the clinics are able to find a way to work with the new Covid requirements.
We loved this video and your story you shared ! We went thru a very similar experience where my wife dealt with Infertility, Surrogacy, NICU, while having Multiple Sclerosis to ultimately having twins !
Ah, guys, you had me tearing up whenever you started getting choked up Kelsey. I can only imagine all the feelings you were having when that box of medications arrived. It must have felt like so much hope sitting in front of you. And so much that could hurt you if it didn't go the way you were hoping for. (I'm so glad that not only did you get a baby, you got the 2 you were hoping for and that they were Davy and Scout). Sharing so much at the start must have been daunting. But even though I will never be able to have kids/need these videos for IVF reference, I am so glad that you made them. They were a source of joy and hope for me, to watch you and hope and pray for you and for good things for you both at a time when my world was getting smaller- it lifted me in a different way than the intended ivf experience sharing/ instructional videos you intended. It's hard to believe it wasn't all that long ago, since it seems like you have always been a mom now and that Scout and Davy have always been with you, hard to imagine how new they are when you all seem so perfect together and like you've been doing this mom thing forever. I really am so terribly happy you got your girls in the end- If anyone ever deserves to get their wishes and to be parents it was you two. xx (I'll quit my blabbering & leave you in peace now!x)
Annie, you are seriously the best! I love you so much! Thank you for cheering us on in this journey! Knowing you were cheering us on, helped me so much during this process! Thank you for all you do for us! You are soo great!! This whole IVF process was one of learning and growing for sure and so grateful it ended up with our two girls!!
Thank you so much for sharing y'alls story. Starting injections in a week and a half and everything is starting to weigh me down. This was a much needed positive experience to hear! 😄
Thank you for this awesome video! Faith and trusting God will get you there indeed. You are blessed with 2 beautifull daughters. I am about to start IVF in a few weeks after 3 failed IUI's. Excited and scared at the same time!

Thanks for sharing your experience guys. I am happy for you that it all worked out for you. Thanks for putting yourself out there and sharing your story.
Ohh I love this . Me and my husband are debating on sharing our journey and boy has it been one lol I finally get to do my transfer after those meds I had to give my body a break and mental health . So glad everything worked for you guys it gives me so much hope
aww thank you so much!! Yes sharing can be scary/intense for sure!I ended up being so grateful we did share because it brought us closer to some friends and even made lots of great new friends online to going through the same thing!
We are starting with our 2nd round of ivf next month. Already got pregnant with first round but ended up aborting bcz of some issues with the baby. Really hoping a good news this time 😭 and felt somewhat relaxed to see success stories like yours ❤️ thnk you 😀
@@mariaante5708 yeah actually my genetic karyotype results were inconclusive of the problem. Although i was asked to do some genetic testing , my gynaec was clear that it might be due to some unfortunate thing. We are going to try second round of ivf as per our gynaec advice.
Thankyou so much I had 2 failed iui I have unexplained infertility issue, but next year we are planning to ivf it's too stressful seeing your video I get hope thankyou guys , it helped me come out of depression a little bit
Congratulations wishing you all the best may God continue to bless your family. My husband and I was supposed to go through IUI but after they did the HSG testing on my remaining my tube.I ended up pregnant but it was not a viable pregnancy. It was a ectopic and then they had to give me methotrexate, which is a small dose of chemo to dissolve the baby. It was my second ectopic. The first one I lost my tube, but we had to wait three months before trying to conceive because of the poison from the chemo, but those three months have passed and today we talked to the doctor and we will go in for genetic testing on Monday and then he said will probably get started with IVF in about a month; so early March. Today is two days from Valentine’s Day so thank you for all of your information and I wish you all well.
Our daughter & SIL were like you. First round produced 4 blastocysts & two miscarriages. They didn’t tell anyone when they tried round two. That also produced 4 blastocysts AND a twin pregnancy when transferred at the same time. They are a year old now & so beautiful. Worth everything. We do a lot of babysitting that gives them a chance to have time for themselves. Twins are wonderful but exhausting for the parents. Persist for everyone out there trying.
I felt curious about how IVF has evolved and your video was the first one to show, your story is so beautiful and I wish the best for you and the girls, Greetings from Costa Rica 🥰🥰
I really love your positive outlook, especially when you spoke about getting outfits! That made me laugh, I'm 100% the kind of person to buy appointment shoes! My husband and I have just been diagnosed with infertility and they have suggested we may need IVF (need some further tests first). We are from England so luckily we get a round or 2 for free on the NHS so we don't have to worry about cost! I have decided to watch as many positive stories as possible and stop trying to be negative! Thanks for the positive story :)
Hi Hayley, thank you so much for your sweet comment! That is sooo cool that England offers that for infertility treatments! That is incredible! I love how you are focusing on the positive and finding success stories! That was something that totally helped me during the IVF process. You got this! (p.s. I have a sister named Hayley, love that name!)
Wow loved this video, i have just started my ivf journey and so excited but nervous. You guys are giving me hope. Let me watch the rest of the videos. Love from South Africa ❤
This is a beautiful ivf success story..congratulations and glory be to God. What is considered as good embryos(what grade were your embryos), because you stated the doctor said you guys have good embryos and you will certainly have twins. Your doctor was very certain.
thank you so much! I am not sure on the grade of embryos. When our doctor told us they were really good embryos we just took his word for it. We have some frozen embryos though so eventually when we do IVF again in the future well make sure to ask then!
@@HangWithTheBangs Your embryo grade most likely was possibly AA 😊. Would be great to know the grade, to use the grade as a yard stick, whereby conception would most likely take place which such a good grade 😊 Many thanks for your reply 🙏
#mary how are you now? you are done with it? Please tell. I am also planning. Taking aminor for periods these days. I need so much positive energies. I am sooo depressed.
Oh my god.. Ivf and u got twin.. God bless u mam.. I just met doctor after my wife miscariage the 5th time.. Dr. Suggest to do ivf if still want a baby.. And ur daughter look like your husband.. 😘 Nice and thanks for sharing.. Really appreciate it
So sorry to hear about the miscarriages. That must have been really difficult. IVF was totally worth it and if you need a cheer team, we're here for you guys! Thank you for reaching out and commenting!
I took a personal load out for 25,000 through Discover with a GREAT interest rate. Other 10,000 through out was paided out of pocket. Unfortunately mine costed more because we had to do surgery to extract sperm from my husband. Two cycles down unsuccessful. Trying again with our last two. You guys were so lucky.
Thank you for sharing your story with us. I am so sorry, that is a lot to go through. You are very strong! Hope this next round for you all is the one!!! sending lots of love and prayers your way!
In the U.K. they will only ever put in one, two embryos.. possibly three if you’re in your 40s. There are very strict rules to avoid high risk multiple pregnancies.
I remember when i wasn't happy about being pregnant in my boyfriend was trying to cheer me up. While my doctor was doing the ultrasound in she said " that weird" in my boyfriend squeezed my hand tight in fear in then she smiled in said "congratulation your having identical twins" which made me happy for a long time in still does
Ur story is inspiring to me. Always have hope. So much positivity here. My FET is due from past 3 years. Its all about our financial condition. We are unable to visit hospital. The charges are too high. 😭😭😭 hoping to see doctor and have healthy baby. Please pray for me ....please please need blessings. I am feeling low and depressed. Please pray for me to have successful pregnancy and Lord bless me with healthy baby.
Such a great video, I really appreciate you sharing all about your journey. My husband and are in the middle of the IVF journey and our FET is scheduled for May. We are also interested in doing a two embryo transfer and would love you input on how it went for you or any advice you may have ❤️ you’re the first couple I’ve found who’s on a twin journey as well.
Hi! Just sent an email back (just seeing this comment here), thanks for reaching out. We knew we wanted to go for multiples from the start as well, so we made sure to find a doctor who was ok with transferring 2 embryos if everything looked ok. We felt so grateful both embryos took. We love being twin parents. It's exhausting and wonderful all at the same time :) For advice, I would do what ever you feel is best for you all. You two know what's best for you and your future family. Follow your gut on what you two think is best. If you have any specific questions or anything, email me back or message here and I am happy to answer whatever and cheer you on during your journey. YOU GOT THIS
@@crazycatlady8285 I am sorry that is not fun! If you are up for trying essential oils, I used doTERRA Digestzen on my belly daily to help with bloating and it worked great! My doctor said it was great to use too :)
@@luminitagheorghe6163 hi so for each person the medications and dosages might differ. Have you had a consult with a doctor? They could give you a list. It’s been 6 years since I did IVF I am not sure if the meds are the same as would be recommended now ❤️
Congratulations 🎉 you look amazing ❤ Also, I know that you may have mentioned this but I didn’t get it. What was the name of your doctor and the fertility clinic you went to ?
After 5 months of IUIs and fertility drugs, finally moving onto IVF this month. I cried when you cried. I have so much hope this will work. Was your doctor okay with placing 2 embryos? Mine keeps suggesting only 1 since twins are “high risk.” But I want twins!
YOU GOT THIS!!!!!! Luckily our doctor was ok with doing 2 embryos, but I keep hearing from lots going through IVF their doctor only wants to do one because the potential of "high risk." I say, do what you feel is best for you and your family. Everyones situation is different, and do what you feel would be best for you and your family. I really enjoyed a twin pregnancy but I know it can be different for everyone. Sending lots of love and prayers your way!
Wow 20 grand. That place sounds the most expensive ivf place probably worth it for sure . I'm going with CNY because they have payment plans and there ivf is fresh cycle is only about 5 grand. And they accept insurance.
Hi Lauren, thanks so much for your message! Sending lots of love and prayers your way. We did a fresh transfer since we weren't testing embryos. But I have heard lots of great success stories with fresh and frozen transfers :) What are you thinking of doing?
I am so sorry, that is not easy to go through. we went to Utah Fertility Clinic and saw Dr. Faulk. He usually has about a 4 month wait period to get in, but once you are in you are in! He is an amazing doctor and totally recommend him.
I have a fresh transfer with two embryos hoping I can be as lucky as you guys. But Unfortunately this is the 10 days after transfer the line gets more and more fade, looks like it’s not there anymore. Beta day tomorrow I feel it will be a failure.
@@HangWithTheBangs Thank you. But I have already got the result HCG is only 1. So it is a failure again. You guys are so lucky to have these beautiful twins.
Loved your video I’m gona go through ivf so this helped a lot one question I had is so you have to pay the whole full amount again when you go back for the frozen embryos?
Hi hope IVF goes great for you! I know clinics can differ on finances and how they run payments/plans. For us, with our clinic we would have to pay the full frozen embryo transfer amount for every time/every round.
Beautiful family 😊 congratulations!!! Me and my husband are going to start IVF in less than 2weeks. We will get started with shots this weekend. Can you give us any tips?
Jenny! Congrats, hope it goes wonderful for you guys! I do have some tips! I am actually uploading a video right now on 4 Things that made a difference in our IVF process. It should hopefully be live in about an hour or so. But if you want more info than that, here is a link to my blog where I have a lot of tips for doc appointments, things that were helpful during the process, etc. kelseybang.com/category/infertility/tips
Hi! thanks so much! To be honest, I am not sure. I never asked and just said put the 2 with the best chance in. sending lots of love and prayers your way for your transfer!
@@HangWithTheBangs Thank you, this means so much to me and I really hope to have beautiful twins like yours... Congratulations to you again and my best wishes to you and family! Love from Malaysia❤❤❤
sorry just seeing this! It's been awhile since we did IVF but I think I did acupuncture after birth control and up until about 13 weeks pregnant. I would ask an acupuncturist because they would be familiar with the best practices up to date.
Hey dear Hang with Bangs congratulations to you both .you all are so adorable & cute..Thanks for sharing your story, your journey it definitely gives hope & courage to so many who are in same journey.i definitely agree our🐕paw baby is greatest support..your dog is do cute what's his name? Thanks for sharing your journey.God bless you all abundantly 💐
You have explained everything in a detailed it. Specifically even though we want to have kids financial things does matter. Most of them will not tell them. Even I'm planning for IVF next month. I too want twins😁 is there anything that we need to do for first time success? Please share it.
congrats on starting IVF next month, that is exciting! yes I do have a few tips/ideas for first time success! here is a link to my blog with them : kelseybang.com/category/infertility/tips
Hi I am planing on doing ivf and so scared of the outcome I am hopping the best and that it will work 😊 where did you guys go for ivf clinic and doctor really want a good doctor
Hi Julia, thanks for your sweet message! Sending lots of love and prayers your way! I went to Dr. Faulk at Utah Fertility Center. Heres a link to the website. The doc usually has a couple month wait to get on the appointment list, but wroth the wait! www.utahfertility.com/
Hi thanks for sharing 👍🏼 I go to my first appt on 19th an do you guys have any pointers for me? I'm 40 an we're shooting for twins as well. I'm super nervous
Hi Shelly, congrats on the first appointment soon! So excited! You will be in my prayers! I do have a few pointers, I have a few blog posts (ill link here) just with some tips I learned from the process. If you have any questions along the way, or need a support buddy, feel free to reach out anytime. YOU GOT THIS! - Kelsey
That is awesome! I just began IVF treatments today and we really want twins but dr says they don’t really recommend twins the first time implanting. We really want twins :/
Thank you so much for sharing. I am also trying to get pregnancy but I am failing. And I was think about IVF treatment so luckily I watched your video. I have question is it expensive? Is there any other option?
Hi thanks so much for reaching out! Yes IVF sadly can be expensive (but can also be super worth it), but there are other options. If you can, research fertility clinics in your area and schedule a free consultation. Most clinics will recommend IUI before IVF which is around $1,000 per treatment, or I have heard people have success from Clomid (which is usually around $45ish depends on insurance). If those don't work, then typically IVF is the next steps. But some jobs and insurances can cover IVF so that is something to look into as well.
depends on location, doctor, procedures needed etc. but for IVF I would plan on 12-20k+ for one round. For more information I would call around to fertility clinics and in your area and see to get a more accurate number.
We did two rounds, with total cost being $37,000. No help from insurance at all. My daughter is now 12 and rolling her eyes at me. I asked the doctor for a refund but he said no.
each state/ fertility clinic can be different. For us it was around 24k and our insurance didn't cover any. But now some insurances will cover some costs, which would be awesome!
You had me crying too when you shed those tears of joy. The feeling of being grateful to God for someone you don't know is just amazing. I wish every couple desiring to have the fruit of the womb will have their heart desire. Shalom
Shalom, you are the sweetest! Thank you soo much! You are the best!!
Amen

The first one I lost my tube, but we had to wait three months before trying to conceive because of the poison from the chemo, but those three months have passed and today we talked to the doctor and we will go in for genetic testing on Monday and then he said will probably get started with IVF in about a month; so early March. Today is two days from Valentine’s Day so thank you for all of your information and I wish you all well.
🙏 may God bless your family! Thanks for sharing with us.
@@HangWithTheBangswe had our FET on the Wed the 1st, we go in for our Pregnancy Test this Friday the 9th. 🙏🏽🤞🏽
Our daughter & SIL were like you. First round produced 4 blastocysts & two miscarriages. They didn’t tell anyone when they tried round two. That also produced 4 blastocysts AND a twin pregnancy when transferred at the same time. They are a year old now & so beautiful. Worth everything. We do a lot of babysitting that gives them a chance to have time for themselves. Twins are wonderful but exhausting for the parents. Persist for everyone out there trying.
I felt curious about how IVF has evolved and your video was the first one to show, your story is so beautiful and I wish the best for you and the girls, Greetings from Costa Rica 🥰🥰
oh so sweet, thank you so much! Costa Rica how fun, I have always wanted to go there someday!
the girls? what ...yo talk to some whore by naming her boobs?
I really love your positive outlook, especially when you spoke about getting outfits! That made me laugh, I'm 100% the kind of person to buy appointment shoes! My husband and I have just been diagnosed with infertility and they have suggested we may need IVF (need some further tests first). We are from England so luckily we get a round or 2 for free on the NHS so we don't have to worry about cost! I have decided to watch as many positive stories as possible and stop trying to be negative! Thanks for the positive story :)
Hi Hayley, thank you so much for your sweet comment! That is sooo cool that England offers that for infertility treatments! That is incredible! I love how you are focusing on the positive and finding success stories! That was something that totally helped me during the IVF process. You got this! (p.s. I have a sister named Hayley, love that name!)
What a blessing from God 🥰🥰
Congratulations
thank you so much, so kind
Wow loved this video, i have just started my ivf journey and so excited but nervous. You guys are giving me hope. Let me watch the rest of the videos.
Love from South Africa ❤
Thuli, we are so excited for you! Sending lots of love and prayers your way! If you have any questions or need an IVF friend, let me know!
@@HangWithTheBangs Thank you so much 😀
My darling daughter and her fiancé find out tomorrow if the 2 embryo transfer was successful. Thank you for sharing your beautiful story !
oh I will be praying for your sweet daughter and fiance!
Daughter left her phone in husbands car and he works hours away . No results yet . It’s maddening .
I love your story!!! It gives me so much hope 🥺 you guys are the cutest!!!!
aww thanks so much Sandra! You are the sweetest! If you ever need anything, let us know!
This is a beautiful ivf success story..congratulations and glory be to God. What is considered as good embryos(what grade were your embryos), because you stated the doctor said you guys have good embryos and you will certainly have twins. Your doctor was very certain.
thank you so much! I am not sure on the grade of embryos. When our doctor told us they were really good embryos we just took his word for it. We have some frozen embryos though so eventually when we do IVF again in the future well make sure to ask then!
@@HangWithTheBangs Your embryo grade most likely was possibly AA 😊. Would be great to know the grade, to use the grade as a yard stick, whereby conception would most likely take place which such a good grade 😊
Many thanks for your reply 🙏
Thank you. I need this video. We are starting IVF in 2 months ❤️
oh thank you Mary Jane, you are so sweet! So excited for you guys, you got this!!
Mary Jane how are you?how your jurnny,I want to please. I’m prepared for ivf.
#mary how are you now? you are done with it? Please tell. I am also planning. Taking aminor for periods these days. I need so much positive energies. I am sooo depressed.
Am glad to hear this story,myself and my husband are going for ivf

This is so inspiring! God bless your family!!

Thank heavens health insurance in nyc covers ivf. I couldn’t imagine paying for all of the costs.

Oh my god.. Ivf and u got twin.. God bless u mam..
I just met doctor after my wife miscariage the 5th time.. Dr. Suggest to do ivf if still want a baby..
And ur daughter look like your husband.. 😘
Nice and thanks for sharing.. Really appreciate it
So sorry to hear about the miscarriages. That must have been really difficult. IVF was totally worth it and if you need a cheer team, we're here for you guys! Thank you for reaching out and commenting!
Thank you so much for sharing this journey. About to embark on this myself. 🙏🏽❤️🤞🏽
You got this!!! Sending lots of love and prayers!
I took a personal load out for 25,000 through Discover with a GREAT interest rate. Other 10,000 through out was paided out of pocket. Unfortunately mine costed more because we had to do surgery to extract sperm from my husband. Two cycles down unsuccessful. Trying again with our last two. You guys were so lucky.
Thank you for sharing your story with us. I am so sorry, that is a lot to go through. You are very strong! Hope this next round for you all is the one!!! sending lots of love and prayers your way!
I start my injections for our first IVF cycle in exactly one week 🤗
oh I am so excited for you! sending lots of love and prayers your way!
So how are you now? You got success?
Allah bless you
Omg this has given me so much hope.
oh I am so glad!! Hang in there! Let us know if you need anything
In the U.K. they will only ever put in one, two embryos.. possibly three if you’re in your 40s. There are very strict rules to avoid high risk multiple pregnancies.
yeah its interesting how it varies from doctor to doctor, and country to country.
I remember when i wasn't happy about being pregnant in my boyfriend was trying to cheer me up. While my doctor was doing the ultrasound in she said " that weird" in my boyfriend squeezed my hand tight in fear in then she smiled in said "congratulation your having identical twins" which made me happy for a long time in still does
oh that is so sweet and special! thank you for sharing!!! really is something so neat about twins!
Ur story is inspiring to me. Always have hope. So much positivity here. My FET is due from past 3 years. Its all about our financial condition. We are unable to visit hospital. The charges are too high. 😭😭😭 hoping to see doctor and have healthy baby. Please pray for me ....please please need blessings. I am feeling low and depressed. Please pray for me to have successful pregnancy and Lord bless me with healthy baby.
YOU GOT THIS!! I will be praying for you every day and hope everything goes great for you! Hang in there!
Such a great video, I really appreciate you sharing all about your journey. My husband and are in the middle of the IVF journey and our FET is scheduled for May. We are also interested in doing a two embryo transfer and would love you input on how it went for you or any advice you may have ❤️ you’re the first couple I’ve found who’s on a twin journey as well.
Hi! Just sent an email back (just seeing this comment here), thanks for reaching out. We knew we wanted to go for multiples from the start as well, so we made sure to find a doctor who was ok with transferring 2 embryos if everything looked ok. We felt so grateful both embryos took. We love being twin parents. It's exhausting and wonderful all at the same time :) For advice, I would do what ever you feel is best for you all. You two know what's best for you and your future family. Follow your gut on what you two think is best. If you have any specific questions or anything, email me back or message here and I am happy to answer whatever and cheer you on during your journey. YOU GOT THIS
Just saw your video, really gave me so much Hope, thank you for sharing your journey.
oh I am so glad! thank you! if you ever need anything, let us know!
I’m also starting Ivf this gives me hope
Sofia! Hope all is going well in your IVF journey so far! Praying for you!
I’m on my second day of STEM. I’m an RN and I found/find it overwhelming.
It is overwhelming for sure. Hang in there, we will be praying for you during this journey! Cheering you on!
@@HangWithTheBangs I’m so bloated. Bleh.
@@crazycatlady8285 I am sorry that is not fun! If you are up for trying essential oils, I used doTERRA Digestzen on my belly daily to help with bloating and it worked great! My doctor said it was great to use too :)
@@HangWithTheBangs oh I think I have some. thanks!
im about to start this process after 5 losses and 7 years ttc. i hope it works on the first try
@@hq5281 sending lots of prayers your way! ❤️❤️
Hi can you give me a list with all medication that you take ? I want to do this but i am afraid of medication
@@luminitagheorghe6163 hi so for each person the medications and dosages might differ. Have you had a consult with a doctor? They could give you a list. It’s been 6 years since I did IVF I am not sure if the meds are the same as would be recommended now ❤️
Congratulations 🎉 you look amazing ❤
Also, I know that you may have mentioned this but I didn’t get it.
What was the name of your doctor and the fertility clinic you went to ?
Thanks! Dr. Faulk at Utah Fertility Clinic
i just had my pelvic baseline scan today- and they prescribed me pills to delay my period.
My first day is this journey..
YOU GOT THIS!! sending lots of love and prayers your way!
Congratulations I have been motivated by ur video am in my IVF process and I need this 🌹
oh you are the sweetest! I will be praying for you! How are you feeling about everything?
@@HangWithTheBangs excited am Dan will my egg retrieval 🙏🙏🙏
After 5 months of IUIs and fertility drugs, finally moving onto IVF this month. I cried when you cried. I have so much hope this will work. Was your doctor okay with placing 2 embryos? Mine keeps suggesting only 1 since twins are “high risk.” But I want twins!
YOU GOT THIS!!!!!! Luckily our doctor was ok with doing 2 embryos, but I keep hearing from lots going through IVF their doctor only wants to do one because the potential of "high risk." I say, do what you feel is best for you and your family. Everyones situation is different, and do what you feel would be best for you and your family. I really enjoyed a twin pregnancy but I know it can be different for everyone. Sending lots of love and prayers your way!
hiiii!! Did you do PGT-A? :) Or did you rely on the letter embryo grading?
@@milliedeluna4946 hi, we just asked our doctor to put the two embryos that had the best chance. They use a letter grading system at our clinic
God bless you family!!!🌺🌸🌺 Thanks for sharing your story.
thanks so much!
HOw did you have twins during IVF? Did you have two embryo transfers?
we transferred 2 embryos and both took
im here in 2022 :) thank you for this beneficial video :)
Glad it was helpful! hope you have a wonderful day!
So touching ... with u guys story ❤️
I hope i also can be successful like u guys
aww thank you! sending lots of love and prayers your way Sherilyne!
Hang With The Bangs most welcome 🥰 also thanks for u encouragement words really appreciate it ☺️
Wow 20 grand. That place sounds the most expensive ivf place probably worth it for sure . I'm going with CNY because they have payment plans and there ivf is fresh cycle is only about 5 grand. And they accept insurance.
oh that makes me so happy to hear you found a great place with an affordable payment plan options to! I hope every fertility center starts doing this!
You guys could donate the medication to your drs office you went to since its so expensive it would help another family financially even just a little
we did! all these meds are just empty boxes :)
Beautiful ivf story, thanks for sharing! What worked for you frozen embryos or fresh ? Starting IVF shots next week.
Hi Lauren, thanks so much for your message! Sending lots of love and prayers your way. We did a fresh transfer since we weren't testing embryos. But I have heard lots of great success stories with fresh and frozen transfers :) What are you thinking of doing?
Thank you for sharing your experience, if you could tell which IVF clinic you used. I failed 3 IUI would like to do ivf now.
I am so sorry, that is not easy to go through. we went to Utah Fertility Clinic and saw Dr. Faulk. He usually has about a 4 month wait period to get in, but once you are in you are in! He is an amazing doctor and totally recommend him.
I have a fresh transfer with two embryos hoping I can be as lucky as you guys. But Unfortunately this is the 10 days after transfer the line gets more and more fade, looks like it’s not there anymore. Beta day tomorrow I feel it will be a failure.
sending lots of love and prayers your way!! Hope it all ended up working out ok! YOU GOT THIS!!
@@HangWithTheBangs Thank you. But I have already got the result HCG is only 1. So it is a failure again. You guys are so lucky to have these beautiful twins.
Thank you for sharing your story 😊
Congratulations 💕l did this one week ago and lm hoping for good 😌 results 🥰🥰
Good luck 🤞
So excited for ya, sending lots of love and prayers!! Hope you get a really awesome phone call soon with some great news!
@@reyadshaibi6749 thank you soo much

Beautiful video thank you. We are starting our journey next week 🙏🙏🙏. Like the idea of a support group! ❤️ the girls are soooo beautiful 🤩
I definitely am going to have my husband do my shots 😳 our appt for consultation is next week I can’t wait to get started though
oh very exciting!!! YOU GOT THIS!!! Hope your consultation goes great!
Loved your video I’m gona go through ivf so this helped a lot one question I had is so you have to pay the whole full amount again when you go back for the frozen embryos?
Hi hope IVF goes great for you! I know clinics can differ on finances and how they run payments/plans. For us, with our clinic we would have to pay the full frozen embryo transfer amount for every time/every round.
Congrats! Do you mind If I ask how old you were when you underwent IVF?
thanks so much! I was 31!
Oh wow love your journey ❤️ it’s inspiring thanks 😊
thank you so much! hope you have a wonderful day!
This was so so helpful, Thank You!!!
oh I am so glad! If you need anything let us know!

how many sessions or weeks of acupuncture and massage before ivf
sorry just seeing this! It's been awhile since we did IVF but I think I did acupuncture after birth control and up until about 13 weeks pregnant. I would ask an acupuncturist because they would be familiar with the best practices up to date.
@@HangWithTheBangs Thanks
Such motivation 😀😀. Pray for us as well.
sending lots of love and prayers your way!
Inspiring and encouraging! Love the story!
thanks so much for watching!

Hi Julia, thanks for your sweet message! Sending lots of love and prayers your way! I went to Dr. Faulk at Utah Fertility Center. Heres a link to the website. The doc usually has a couple month wait to get on the appointment list, but wroth the wait! www.utahfertility.com/

Did you guys request twins?
We did! We implanted two embryos hoping both would take.
That is awesome! I just began IVF treatments today and we really want twins but dr says they don’t really recommend twins the first time implanting. We really want twins :/
@@24AVR ah congrats on starting IVF treatments! I will be praying for you!
Thank you so much for your prayers!!
I'm sorry what state is the clinic did you go too.. may Gob bless your family ❤❤❤❤
thanks so much! We went to Utah Fertility Clinic and our doc was Dr. Faulk
Congratulations. !!
aww thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing.
I am also trying to get pregnancy but I am failing.
And I was think about IVF treatment so luckily I watched your video.
I have question is it expensive?
Is there any other option?
Hi thanks so much for reaching out! Yes IVF sadly can be expensive (but can also be super worth it), but there are other options. If you can, research fertility clinics in your area and schedule a free consultation. Most clinics will recommend IUI before IVF which is around $1,000 per treatment, or I have heard people have success from Clomid (which is usually around $45ish depends on insurance). If those don't work, then typically IVF is the next steps. But some jobs and insurances can cover IVF so that is something to look into as well.
How much did the IVF all cost?
depends on location, doctor, procedures needed etc. but for IVF I would plan on 12-20k+ for one round. For more information I would call around to fertility clinics and in your area and see to get a more accurate number.
We did two rounds, with total cost being $37,000. No help from insurance at all. My daughter is now 12 and rolling her eyes at me. I asked the doctor for a refund but he said no.
Wooow..... Thanks for sharing story.... Your country...... How much cost .... This procedures
each state/ fertility clinic can be different. For us it was around 24k and our insurance didn't cover any. But now some insurances will cover some costs, which would be awesome!
