So glad to find this channel. We plan to do IVF start from my next circle. I am 43 yrs old, try to keep this positive and believe in myself, your video is a great support.
Me too in one month.. wishing your golden egg make it through..millions blessings ..for you 43 years young ready to be a mom. I will send some beautiful vibrations your way tonight .
I think all these tips are helpful but mindset is really the top notch here. Because ever heard the saying you attract what you think and manifestation and self affirmations and the importance of journaling … I’m gonna apply the tips but also have to work on my mind number one . I will also watch first time success IVF stories to keep my spirit lifted and mind sane and positive thank you for this video ❤❤❤❤
I'm so glad i found your channel. I'm 38, I had my FET oct 28, 2024 with our one and only embryo. I got pregnant with twins, currently 9 weeks. I'm kinda scared because i know how how risky it is. But i'm so happy that yours is a success for the first time.. ❤

I’m so glad I found your channel, going through IVF right now and watching your journey gives my heart hope. Trigger shot tonight and retrieval on Tuesday 3/1/22 😬🙏🏼
I started my first IVF two days ago. I am on day three of the shots, and I am very nervous but also exited! I don't smoke or drink, but I have cleaned up my eating, getting enough sleep and just trying not to stress!
Linn, YOU GOT THIS!!! thanks so much for sharing with us! Trying not to stressed is a great way to go about it! Sending lots of love and prayers your way!
The most beautiful part of your journey is that God chose you to be a way through which people can receive help going through their own journey so thank you so much for sharing this ❤️
Doing a transfer mid June. Did retrieval in May. We ended up with 14 eggs retrieved. 7 fertilized and all 7 made it through. We are terrified we could end up with 7 kids and possibly more if any of them are twins. But so blessed and so happy with the family we potentially have.
@@chosen3258 Hi, thank you so much for caring. Really appreciate it. 🤍Unfortunately we have had 3 failed attempts. 2 of which we transferred 2 embryos at a time. Hoping to better our chances. We have 2 embryos left. 😔 Did not go at all as we thought it was going to. Forgot I even left this comment. It’s been a rough year.
Your video made me cry. Me and my hubby just started the IVF journey after 10 years of infertility and failed IUI. Your tips were so helpful! I pray we can transfer 2 embryos and be blessed with twins like you. Your babies are adorable! God bless you
oh you are the sweetest! thank you for sharing your story with me, means so much to me! Praying for you as your start this IVF journey! YOU GOT THIS!!!
@@positivevibes2537 hi! So our embryo transfer failed but 3 months after my miscarriage I became pregnant naturally! I am 9.5 weeks right now! I go back for another ultrasound next week I am praying things are ok. So far it has been good. I’m in shock we got pregnant naturally after 11 years!!!!
You had me tearing up at the end! You are my favorite infertility story couple on RUclips. I love all the positivity that you both bring to this long and busy process. I just had retrieval on Friday with 25 follicles retrieved, 19 fertilized and am waiting for which ones become blastocysts. Then we do pgs testing so it will be until next month that we transfer. I hope that I have a similar experience to yours. Good to know about acupuncture too. Thank you for sharing your beautiful story, it has really helped me in this journey. :)
19 fertilized! that is so amazing and so exciting! Thank you so much for sharing with us! Sending lots of love and prayers for your transfer next month! YOU GOT THIS!!
Thank you so much for sharing with us, I am so sorry. That is not easy to go through. Sending lots of love and prayers your way! If you ever need anything, please let us know! We would love to cheer you on!
So glad for you guys Almighty bless you all .Amin...I have a pre schooler sleeping who we were blessed with after 9 years of trying crying ...Many IUIs 2 IVF failures and God knows how many ovulation induction cycles ...and a 14 week miscarriage...But your right...when he comes running for Mama at off school time I know there was a time I......., aah, Thank you Allah Almighty Thank you

Each doctor can have different recommendations for each patient. I did acupuncture while also doing injections and felt like the acupuncture really helped during the process
I am going to be starting my first IVF cycle next month. I am very excited but super nervous. I had 6 failed IUIs and the doctors aren’t sure why they didn’t work, because they haven’t found anything wrong. Thank you so much for these helpful tips!! I know this will be worth it ❤️
Today is 6dpt (six days past ivf transfer) and I am having yeast infection already and my gynecologist said I shouldn’t do anything and be hopeful. Should I be worried about anything? Note: still taking virginal progesterone
Hi, I am so sorry about the infection, that is not fun. Congrats on the embryo transfer though, that is exciting! Hang in there! I would go with your doctor and not worry about it if you can. I know that is a lot easier said than done but I will be praying for you and your embryo and infection to hopefully get better soon!
Hi once again. The yeast infection is gone like no virginal soreness, no itching but a lil bit of discharge, but at the same time am a bit worried that the sore and increased boobs I had has kind of lessen down but still bigger than normal, I was supposed to see my period yesterday and today nothing… fingers crossed
Ah, Kelsey you had me tearing up with you at the end there. I can't believe it was 2 years ago now you were on that part of your journey! (But also how have Davey and Scout not always been here!?). I'm sure your videos on this have helped so many. Hope you guys are having a good weekend and have a good week ahead! xx Ps. I am having some troubles with my emails going to spam so I hope you got the one I sent March 12. No worries if you got it, I just never know if they're going through and keep hearing from ppl that they found it in their junk box so wanted to say in case that was the case this time as well! x

I am so sorry I am so behind on my emails! hahah I will be catching up on them soon! Thanks for all you do Annie, you are the best! Ps. I have a photo I need to send you, Davey is obsessed with the Canada socks you got her and she likes to wear them every breakfast! hahaah
@@HangWithTheBangs that's a relief! No rush at all, I just didn't want you thinking I hadn't replied when I had! I am behind on mine too, so I know that feeling well- so no rush at all! Yes, please send me photo when you write! I'm happy she's liking them. Isn't it funny the things kids end up getting attached to?! 🥰
Happy I got to see this. Was looking for some inspiration. My first transfer I tested pregnant and one week later they told me it wasn’t viable any longer. I felt/feel like such a failure and really low. To my surprise I found out they transferred the wrong gender embryo! We have a son so we were trying for a girl. We only had 7 eggs and 3 viable embryos. Two males one female. I’m about to start another transfer…. And am terrified of losing this one. We are debating to transfer two this time instead of just one…. Why did you guys transfer more than one? Glad you told me about the neupogen…. I am just trying to find the light in all this sadness. I think I went in a little confident because I’m young, healthy and have no fertility issues. Beautiful family you guys have… also is that a Aussie doodle??? We have two aussies ❤️
Dea thank you for your sweet message and kind words, I am so sorry the first transfer didn't end up as expected. I love your positive outlook, and I will be praying for you everyday during your journey! I love that you have aussies! so fun! Yes, our dog is an Aussie doodle! He has been such an amazing pup! When we went into IVF for some reason I had it in my head that I only wanted to transfer 2 or more embryos. My doc said 2 was the most he would do so thats what we went for. We were grateful our doc was up for what we were wanting. I know everyone situation is different though, I would do what feels best for your and your fam. And yes ask the doc about neupogen, I am a big fan on it!
My husband and I are starting our first IVF cycle now. We’re just shy of 26, but we’ve been trying 3 years and have been diagnosed with unexplained infertility. Idk how to stay calm during this, but I’m trying so hard.
me too! went to 2 hospital and diagnosed with unexplained infertility. idk to remain calm and positive while we don't know the root cause of our infertility. it's devastating.
Hi Sydney, sending lots of love and prayers your way. YOU GOT THIS! Hang in there. Hearing success stories was super helpful to me during infertility so thought I would share with you that I have 2 sisters that went through unexplained infertility. I know it can be so hard. but the great news?!?! My sisters both have wonderful kids now (one has 3 and one has 2) many miracles can happen. hang in there! I will be praying for you.
@@lulubellicious I’m so sorry! The best way I’ve been able to look at it is at least we do not have a diagnosis where we have no hope at all. The fact it’s unexplained and they can’t find anything wrong gives me hope IVF will work for us!
sending lots of love and prayers for your upcoming journey! YOU GOT THIS!! Here is a link to all our blog posts from IVF:kelseybang.com/category/infertility
Thank you for sharing your wonderful story, I failed IVF twice, I was frustrated and depressed, your video give me new hope! I’m interested to try acupuncture, would you please share a little bit more detail, like how many time you did and the price range. Thank you again.
Beautiful story, any pointers where i can get sponsorship for IVF have been trying for 11 years now. I live in Africa and would appreciate if you can refer me to somewhere i can get help.
Just found your channel & watched some videos!!❤ Im going thru ivf & do not have insta so can you give me your # so I can ask abt the medications??thank you!!
since we did a fresh transfer it was about 5 days after the egg retrieval that we implanted the embryos. Depending on the situation, embryo status, etc. it could be different.
Hi depends on the patient and doctor. I have heard most docs these days will only transfer one embryo at a time but some will do more. We transferred 2 embryos.
My understanding is it depends on the women’s age. In the U.K. if you are using your own fresh eggs in your 40s they may recommend transferring two embryos. Usually only one is transferred. If you are trying for twins you can request two are transferred, but it should be understood that multiple births do carry a higher risk to the mother and the babies. Best to do your own research and discuss with your fertility specialist.
Hi, it can be different for everyone on what they feel or don’t feel. If you are worried, have concerns or questions , I would recommend calling your doctor ❤️
@@HangWithTheBangs thanks a ton for your wishes... it feels so comforting ... I started with menopur .. todays scan was all ok.. will update u guys as things progress
What infertility issues did you or your husband have issues with? I have a mild case of endometriosis and some Hashimoto’s disease and my husbands morphology is really low. We start the IVF this upcoming month and I’m really nervous.
Hi Jenna, thanks so much for reaching out. We had similar as you guys, endometriosis and low morphology. We did ICSI with IVF and felt it really helped with the low morphology! Sending lots of love and prayers your way, YOU GOT THIS!!
I understand you made this video with the best of your intentions, but please understand that by sharing this you make women/couples feel directly responsible for their IVF failures. There’s a very small percentage of the outcome you can control as a patient (very, very small) everything else is science. In my pov, these “1st time IVF success tips” make women like me feel like we are doing something wrong.
Hi, thanks so much for sharing your view with us. I am sorry if this video came off that way to you. That was not our intentions. We shared our entire IVF journey online, the ups, downs, in between and we found these 4 things are what helped us during the process. We mentioned in the video that these are things that helped us during the process, but might not be for everyone. Just so you know, you are not doing anything wrong, you are doing great! Hang in there and we will be praying for you!
I agree with you. These lovely people are well intentioned though. Apart from any actual fertility problems there is almost nothing you can do to improve your pregnancy chances except losing weight - if very overweight - and stopping smoking. I always hear ‘relax, relax’ but there is no evidence that stress has an impact, babies are made during wars and after other traumatic experiences. The fact is ivf is very stressful, so I think you have to accept that and be kind to yourself. If under 35 and knowing you want to get pregnant later I would freeze your eggs. Or even if older, freeze your eggs now. All the best.
Thank you for your suggestion to watch this video it was very helpful.😊 By the way on your retrieval day & transfer day how long did you rest? What foods would you recommend?
Thanks so much Jenny! With the retrieval and transfer I tried to take it easy for about 3 days each time (that is what my clinic recommended, but said if needed to go back to work that was ok.) I just tried to eat clean (lots of veggies and fruit) and relax as much as I could and played lots of Nintendo and read!
My husband and I went to see my fertility doctor about IVF but sad to say she said I have no crystal ball 🔮 to answer your question. if the first retrieval will guarantee me to be pregnant. After all the tests I have been through, and everything was perfectly ok 👍🏼 same as my husband’s tests. So it means we will spend a lot of money by trying and trying even do both sides know that I can be pregnant 🤰?! We were absolutely confused with all the meetings and my doctor’s explanations. Now I guess we’re just gonna try the normal way to get pregnant. Because we can’t get any assurance from this doctor. Lack of support and maybe she will lemme try 3 times for IVF 💸 so it seems like a gamble, no guarantee at all. So it’s useless! 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
I am sorry, that is frustrating and hard to navigate. Sadly that is the fertility world right now. We didn't have any guarantee's either going into IVF but we did have a higher chance of success and to us that was worth the chance. Maybe interview a few doctors and see what they recommend? Also maybe see to if the clinic offers a discounted rate if it doesn't work for doing the process again. If you need any ideas, I just started a new podcast that interviews people who have gone through IVF and different routes of infertility and how they have navigated it. My first podcast goes live next Thursday and a lot of the guests share their experiences and what they ended up doing. It might give you a few ideas on where to head next. Sending you lots of love and prayers your way! Podcast here: www.youtube.com/@theinfertilityclub/community

me too! went to 2 hospital and diagnosed with unexplained infertility. idk to remain calm and positive while we don't know the root cause of our infertility. it's devastating.
Hi Sydney, sending lots of love and prayers your way. YOU GOT THIS! Hang in there. Hearing success stories was super helpful to me during infertility so thought I would share with you that I have 2 sisters that went through unexplained infertility. I know it can be so hard. but the great news?!?! My sisters both have wonderful kids now (one has 3 and one has 2) many miracles can happen. hang in there! I will be praying for you.
@@lulubellicious I’m so sorry! The best way I’ve been able to look at it is at least we do not have a diagnosis where we have no hope at all. The fact it’s unexplained and they can’t find anything wrong gives me hope IVF will work for us!
@@lulubellicious hang in there! praying for you!
So helpful. God bless you all x
anytime! hope you have a wonderful day!
Am about to go through Ivf I need a lot of help and information I can get
sending lots of love and prayers for your upcoming journey! YOU GOT THIS!! Here is a link to all our blog posts from IVF:kelseybang.com/category/infertility
Thank you for sharing your wonderful story, I failed IVF twice, I was frustrated and depressed, your video give me new hope! I’m interested to try acupuncture, would you please share a little bit more detail, like how many time you did and the price range.
Thank you again.
No evidence that acupuncture has any impact but you should do what you feel helps you. Fitness, weight management and stopping smoking important.
Beautiful story, any pointers where i can get sponsorship for IVF have been trying for 11 years now. I live in Africa and would appreciate if you can refer me to somewhere i can get help.
Hi thanks so much for reaching out! What kind of help are you needing? That way I can direct you to the right people.
Hi did they implant one embryo or two?
We implanted 2 embryos
Just found your channel & watched some videos!!❤ Im going thru ivf & do not have insta so can you give me your # so I can ask abt the medications??thank you!!
Hi so sorry just seeing this! How did IVF go?!
Hi did you do accupunture after embryo transfer?
I did! I think it was about 13 weeks into pregnancy I stopped acupuncture.
Can I ask did you end up with twins by chance or did they transfer more than one egg
Hi we transferred 2 embryos and both took :) our girls are fraternal twins.
After how many cycles they did embryo transfer?
I mean the days it took between egg retrieval and embryo transfer
since we did a fresh transfer it was about 5 days after the egg retrieval that we implanted the embryos. Depending on the situation, embryo status, etc. it could be different.
Thanks so much for this 💗
anytime! hope you have a great rest of the week!

@@HangWithTheBangs you're so welcome!
Hello! How many embryos do they transfer?
Hi depends on the patient and doctor. I have heard most docs these days will only transfer one embryo at a time but some will do more. We transferred 2 embryos.
My understanding is it depends on the women’s age. In the U.K. if you are using your own fresh eggs in your 40s they may recommend transferring two embryos. Usually only one is transferred. If you are trying for twins you can request two are transferred, but it should be understood that multiple births do carry a higher risk to the mother and the babies. Best to do your own research and discuss with your fertility specialist.
Hi sweaty i m Muslim please reply mi i m feeling cramps after FET is it's normal
Hi, it can be different for everyone on what they feel or don’t feel. If you are worried, have concerns or questions , I would recommend calling your doctor ❤️
Hi guys, love all your videos. ❤❤ I have a question Kelsey, when did you start acupuncture? How long before starting your IVF treatment? Thanks! 😊
Hi Brenda, thanks so much! I started acupuncture a little after I stared birth control and then did it till I was about 6 weeks pregnant.
Are your twins identical
they are not, they are fraternal twins :)
You guys are soooo good.. I’m literally crying wen u went emotional.. tomorrow I’m starting my IVF treatment .. please pray for me n wish me luck 🙏🏻
Shereen, we are so excited for you! Sending lots of love and prayers your way!! YOU GOT THIS!!!!!
@@HangWithTheBangs thanks a ton for your wishes... it feels so comforting ... I started with menopur .. todays scan was all ok.. will update u guys as things progress
@@shereenthomas9146 oh we would love that so much! So glad first scan went ok! that is good news!
@@shereenthomas9146 hello ur ivf journey successfully????? R u pregrant???
Wondering how your doc felt about placing more than one embryo? Was the decision from your end or did they suggest it?
Our doctor was up for it but the decision was ours for sure! We actually wanted to put in 3 embryos but our doctor said 2 is the most he would do! :)
She's only 31🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈😳 I'm way older. Of course she's successful!
Age is less of a factor if using donor eggs. Women in their 50s can get pregnant using donor eggs, even after menopause.
What infertility issues did you or your husband have issues with? I have a mild case of endometriosis and some Hashimoto’s disease and my husbands morphology is really low. We start the IVF this upcoming month and I’m really nervous.
Hi Jenna, thanks so much for reaching out. We had similar as you guys, endometriosis and low morphology. We did ICSI with IVF and felt it really helped with the low morphology! Sending lots of love and prayers your way, YOU GOT THIS!!
@@HangWithTheBangs thanks for reaching back out- I’m hoping and praying this works! 💕
@@jennasanchez9165 I am hoping and praying it works for you too!
R u pregnant
Is ivf working for women 44 ??
I am not sure on age statistics but I would imagine there would be good chances.
Great video. 👍👍👍 Have a great day and all week 😊 Greetings. Adam 😎
thanks so much Adam! Hope you have a great day!
Hello big family big big like stay safe 👌👍💕
aww thank you! you too!
Please how many shots did you have in order to have a twins
depending on the doctor and patient depends on the shots. We put in two embryos and both took :)
I understand you made this video with the best of your intentions, but please understand that by sharing this you make women/couples feel directly responsible for their IVF failures. There’s a very small percentage of the outcome you can control as a patient (very, very small) everything else is science. In my pov, these “1st time IVF success tips” make women like me feel like we are doing something wrong.
Hi, thanks so much for sharing your view with us. I am sorry if this video came off that way to you. That was not our intentions. We shared our entire IVF journey online, the ups, downs, in between and we found these 4 things are what helped us during the process. We mentioned in the video that these are things that helped us during the process, but might not be for everyone. Just so you know, you are not doing anything wrong, you are doing great! Hang in there and we will be praying for you!
I agree with you. These lovely people are well intentioned though. Apart from any actual fertility problems there is almost nothing you can do to improve your pregnancy chances except losing weight - if very overweight - and stopping smoking. I always hear ‘relax, relax’ but there is no evidence that stress has an impact, babies are made during wars and after other traumatic experiences. The fact is ivf is very stressful, so I think you have to accept that and be kind to yourself. If under 35 and knowing you want to get pregnant later I would freeze your eggs. Or even if older, freeze your eggs now. All the best.
Thank you for your suggestion to watch this video it was very helpful.😊 By the way on your retrieval day & transfer day how long did you rest? What foods would you recommend?
Thanks so much Jenny! With the retrieval and transfer I tried to take it easy for about 3 days each time (that is what my clinic recommended, but said if needed to go back to work that was ok.) I just tried to eat clean (lots of veggies and fruit) and relax as much as I could and played lots of Nintendo and read!
@@HangWithTheBangs Thanks for the tip and where you able to walk or go outside or did any exercise to improve your chances during the 2week wait?
@@jennyuzhca5501 I felt good enough to go for walks, but just tried to take it easy and relax so mostly stayed indoors.
My husband and I went to see my fertility doctor about IVF but sad to say she said I have no crystal ball 🔮 to answer your question. if the first retrieval will guarantee me to be pregnant. After all the tests I have been through, and everything was perfectly ok 👍🏼 same as my husband’s tests. So it means we will spend a lot of money by trying and trying even do both sides know that I can be pregnant 🤰?! We were absolutely confused with all the meetings and my doctor’s explanations. Now I guess we’re just gonna try the normal way to get pregnant. Because we can’t get any assurance from this doctor. Lack of support and maybe she will lemme try 3 times for IVF 💸 so it seems like a gamble, no guarantee at all. So it’s useless! 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
I am sorry, that is frustrating and hard to navigate. Sadly that is the fertility world right now. We didn't have any guarantee's either going into IVF but we did have a higher chance of success and to us that was worth the chance. Maybe interview a few doctors and see what they recommend? Also maybe see to if the clinic offers a discounted rate if it doesn't work for doing the process again.
If you need any ideas, I just started a new podcast that interviews people who have gone through IVF and different routes of infertility and how they have navigated it. My first podcast goes live next Thursday and a lot of the guests share their experiences and what they ended up doing. It might give you a few ideas on where to head next. Sending you lots of love and prayers your way!
