  • IVF Egg Retrieval & Embryo Transfer | Our Fertility Journey Episode 2
    In this second episode of our series documenting our (hopeful) road to parenthood I finish my last injections (which almost didn't happen!) and I go through my egg retrieval surgery. Then ended up waiting a little longer after not getting my period to do the Embryo transfer. If you're interested in IVF or freezing your eggs, this is a very in depth look of what that's all about. Does it hurt? Did it work??

      I get what you guys on the last comments are saying about sounding insensitive, but I also understand where she's coming from. My cousin had to do IVF and I watched her struggle while I was struggling on my own trying to get a hysterectomy, it felt extremely wrong and we both felt kinda jealous and bad at the same time. I wish I could've just switched reproductive systems with her, as weird as that sounds. We just couldn't help feeling that way.
      In the end she got pregnant and had two lovely and healthy babies!! I hope they experience a healthy pregnancy as well!
      Good luck to all of you, whatever it is you are choosing to do!

    I feel emotionally winded. I'll preface this comment with the fact I'm a woman in her 30's with no interest in children and a phobia around...well pregnancy. I've enjoyed Taylors channel for years and wasn't sure if I'd be able to watch these videos but when the first one autoplayed I went with it. These videos are an incredibly intimate and honest retelling of what must be an incredibly emotional, exhausting and vulnerable journey. I cried on multiple occasions, I'm a sensitive soul, but they also highlight the strength of both Taylor and Tom. From a random on the internet compelled to comment (as rarely as it happens) I hope in the hard times Taylor can feel immense pride in her strength no matter what happens and this video offers some clarity and comfort, if that's the right word, to others. There's not enough information and research about so many medical difficulties woman face and I say that from experience and friends journeys. Thank you

      I agree women are very strong but let’s not down play men either. I’ve been raised and around men who at least 98-99% of them love, admire and appreciate women and what we go through. While we may deal with the pain, hormones and mental struggles just think how horrible the man who loves you feels seeing you do so much while he is helpless and struggling because he can’t do it for you or take it away. Fathers feel, they worry, they hurt and they stress all while feeling so helpless. On top of that while we give birth in the back of most men’s minds are dear god please let them both live. Please let them be ok. They wait and without showing it struggle with the fear that their everything could be lost at any moment during the entire process. Men are amazing too. We each have our own roles to play. Just because their are deadbeats doesn’t mean all men are the same. There are plenty of crap women out there too who couldn’t care less.

    These videos are so intimate, I've never seen anyone share this journey so honestly. My sister went through ivf and fertility treatments. She had to stop because she developed fnd sadly. However I really didn't understand her or what she was going through. This was several years ago, I was younger and stupid, and I was actually angry with her because I didn't understand why she didn't just adopt. Coming from me, someone with a biological son (and now I have two kids) it was so ridiculous, selfish and immature of me. I've since become a lot more considerate of her feelings, but only through your videos have I suddenly come to understand what she went through. :(

This was not meant to be rude. I just think that what’s not meant to be for me should be that. I also do not want to put a lot of stress on my body and get pregnant again because I’m at a high risk of developing complications and also losing the baby.

While your path may be different, I trust that it will lead you both to your destination soon. I wish you both all the luck and happiness in the world as you grow your family, and know that no matter what happens, you'll be okay because you're a team.
