A quick update after my 3rd Frozen Embryo Transfer |

- I know I’ve been quiet since my third frozen embryo transfer, but let me catch you up to present day.
Unfortunately, my FET didn’t work out. I went through a pretty difficult time because all the work I had done to collect my embryos for an entire year, away from home, was gone in an instant. These were the last of my embryos that I made from last year, so it was a lot to process. IVF in your 40s can be a long and drawn out process, and it’s not for the faint of heart.
There weren't a lot of embryo implantation symptoms post transfer, and I didn’t even track my pregnancy test line progression this time for peace of mind! Rather, I tracked my progesterone and estrogen levels with my new Mira Fertility Hormone Monitor to make sure I was on track after my FET - and in this video I have a little story to tell about what happened with my hormones during my two week wait😳
So…. my third and last embryo transfer has ended and now I’m back at square one. In this video, I talk about my next steps.
For those of you who have been through losses and failed transfers, I am sending you so much love and light. We are so strong, because we are already mothers. We are just being prepared for something greater than ourselves.💗

About me ❤
My name is Hellynn and I live in the US, but I've traveled to Korea (where I'm from) to undergo multiple rounds of IVF. Being 40+ and trying to bring children into the world is hard, but I also have a condition called diminished ovarian reserve, so I've done back-to-back IVF egg retrievals and now have moved onto transfers after banking some embryos.
Navigating this world of infertility is definitely a challenge - a million new acronyms, hormones and protocols to learn - it's a lot. So I thought I'd just talk about everything I've been learning for the women out there who have had similar struggles. I'm also happy to share info with anyone who is interested in traveling to Korea for IVF, since it's much more cost efficient + high success rates here.
I am treating this channel as my diary, talking about the ups and downs of my journey to motherhood so that one day, hopefully, my babies will see how they were created... with fierce, enduring strength and love.
I hope you find my videos helpful - thanks for stopping by.

Sweetest thing about women is that we not only care about ourselves disappointing but also worrying of we are letting others down. I really cherish this trait inside us.
Thank you for making me feel seen❤
i was in a similar position - so many retrievals with so few embryos! 😢 then one random cycle, i got that one embryo that stuck - out of nowhere. currently 8.5 weeks and 45 years old. don’t give up! ❤
Thats amazing. Congratulations!🎉. Thank you for giving me hope… may I ask how many cycles it took you, and if you tested your embryos? Sending love.
@@hellynn_j gosh, i’ve lost count since so many cycles failed without getting to a retrieval but i’d guess about 10-12 cycles and 6 or 7 retrievals. i was testing for the first 7 or 8 rounds or so and then stopped (for the same reason you didn’t test). i think we got like a total of 6 or 7 blasts out of all those damn attempts! i only got to a transfer once and its with my one and only euploid now.
i started at 43 and it took me so long to get here. in that time, i came to terms with the possibility of donor egg if all else fails. that was hard (something i never wanted to do) but ultimately gave me comfort - peace really - i would be a mom one day and that was that.
@@user-xc2hv8yx3u your perseverance is truly inspirational, and it gives me hope. Thank you so much for sharing your story, and thank you for being a part of this community of strong women! I wish you so much luck in your pregnancy and please keep me updated.❤
You’re not letting anyone down with your transparency! All of our journeys are unique to us! As long as you have eggs there is still hope!
Thanks love ❤️
Keep going Hellyn your almost there and very closer next time same time like this you will be holding your own baby,IJN🙏🏿
@@WilfridaJacob Thank you, love💗💗💗
You never let anyone down 😭❤I understand the feeling and I am sending you sooooo much love. Please don't give up on you or your dreams of being a mom 💐
Thank you for your empathy and encouragement ❤️❤️❤️
You’re not letting anyone down. Your courage and honesty is nothing but inspiration to everyone 💜 You’re definitely one step closer to motherhood. Sending you my best wishes for your journey!
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Hellyn, my wife has also been undergoing fertility treatments, is also 41 and is also Korean American. It's been ups and downs. Listening to your story has helped us manage through our own journey, and we thank you for that. Praying that your perseverance gets a due reward. Your future is bright.
Thank you for sharing that and letting me know I am not alone. I so appreciate your kind words and will be praying for us both. Sending love to you and your wife♥️
I'm so proud of you of Hellynn. 🥰
Thank you love ❤
You're honestly a hero! Give yourself grace. I'm starting the journey myself and omg the tears and the fear feels like it's so overwhelming. I told myself each step I take to get closer to getting pregnant, I'm gonna reward myself in some way to do the best to stay relaxed and positive. This process can eat up the best of you! We can't do that because your baby will need the best of you!! ❤ Good luck xxx
Thank you for the beautiful words💖 That's right, our babies will need the best of us... lovely reminder.
You’re one step closer to the finish line Hellynn! Don’t loose hope and faith, things will work out at the end! You’ve come so far!!! Praying for you, and for all of us woman that struggle with infertility! 🙏🏼🍍🍍🫶🏼❤️❤️
Thank you so much for your encouragement! I am praying for everyone in this community, and I believe that everything will work out perfectly🙏
@@hellynn_j Of course it will, I know it’s hard to remain positive, it’s very hard!!! But there’s always light at the end of the tunnel and you’ll get what you always pray and wished for!!! Stay strong my friend!!! ❤️❤️❤️ #neverloosehope
Oh dear you are not letting any of us down. We all just want you to be happy and you have our support no matter what happens. And remember, all you need is one! My friend tried so many times and failed so many times, until one (not so good quality) embryo stuck and now they have a baby. You only need one! And it doesn’t even need to be a good one. ❤️
Your comment is so encouraging. Thanks for the inspiration, and congratulations to your friend!
You’re an inspiration Hellynn. I don’t ever comment on YT but I’m in my TWW and your video really moved me to stay positive and keep going. I feel like you’re my big sister through this journey. Thank you so much for your courage and honesty ❤
Awww.. I feel so honored. Thank you so much for your lovely comment… means a lot to me. I will be praying for you♥️
After my 3th failed transfer this video really means a lot for me ❤ never give up girls 🙏
I'm so sorry for your last transer - we will get there... perseverance will pay off. Sending love💓
@@hellynn_j 🤍🤍
Love your quote at the end. Thank you for sharing so much realness with us. I’m 33 with DOR and no one my age understands what it means so I appreciate you sharing your story both the heartaches and the hope
Thank you for being on the journey with me. I am sending you lots of luck and positive energy for your journey. xx
😭omg I'm crying, BIG HUG for you. You're such a courageous woman. You've motivated me to keep going in my own IVF journey. I'm praying for you! Oh and I can so relate with the meds mess up, I did that too for few days just last week.
Omg thank you so much for your empathy and support♥️ I am praying for you too, love.
@@hellynn_j thank you 🙏 we can get thru this! 😊
I feel so sad for you, but you definitely aren't letting anyone down. All of your videos documenting your journey is very brave and very honest. I think you should focus on yourself, having good health and look after your family. IVF is so expensive for it not to work, but you have given it your all.
Thank you for your empathy 🙏 it means a great deal to me. Agree that I will focus on myself and health. Sending 💓
Thank you for sharing. You’re so strong. Have had 6 failed transfers, 6 egg retrievals, with only 2 embryos left. I feel for you and pray for the best for us while we continue on this journey. It’s hard. So hard. But it will happen someday.
I'm so sorry that you had to go through your failed transfers... it is a huge loss and my heart goes out to you. You’re not alone; we’re all rooting for you. Let's stay resilient and keep pushing. We’re closer than we may think!
if you haven't already, I'd suggest trying ovarian prp and growth hormone priming before next IVF cycle, to improve egg quality and numbers.
I also wanted to mention I just had immune tests done and my nk cells are raised. I had a few chemical pregnancies and this could be the reason. I'm also going to have thrombophilia tests and hoping nothing odd comes up.
I’m rooting you on!!! Sending you all the good, fertility 🐝vibes ✨for the next FET to stick. 🙏🏼We’re all in this together🙌🏼💖
We really are. ❤
I just had another retrieval after 2 failed transfers and it was my best one yet. My doctor is doing a hysteroscopy and a mock cycle to see if there's something else causing my failures. Either way, thank you for updating everyond. You really are such an inspiration.
Oh im so happy for you! I really hope that this next one is it for you…will be praying for you❤ I will ask for a hysteroscopy before fet too!
You’ve got me tearing up. No, you’re not letting us down. I have been your silent viewer and whenever watch you, you give me hope and inspiration. I am not even in a quarter of your fertility journey yet I can feel how much it means to you. You are brave, courageous and determined. Your strength is amazing!
I am wishing you all the best and big miracles in the world! Sending you lots and lots of baby dusts, tight hugs and huge love.❤️
Aww… i could definitely feel the tight hugs in your message. Thank you sincerely for this, it gives me strength… I am sending you so much love. ❤️❤❤
We all share similar pain trying to get and stay pregnant! But let’s not forget how loved we are now!
I know exactly how you feel. For me I felt the worst during my third transfer. I couldn’t believe it when I got pregnant. However, I had a loss at 12 weeks, heartbeat and everything. Our hearts were so so so broken. I had my first injection for my 7th egg retrieval yesterday. My husband and I decided that this will be our last fully medicated egg retrieval. I may try IVF without hormones - but we will do donor egg IVF quite soon. We want to be a family so badly.
Whatever path you end up taking to become a family, I am wishing you the absolute best. I am so sorry for your loss my love and I am sending you positive energy for what's ahead. 💗
@@hellynn_j Thank you! 🫶 We all need a lot of physical and mental stamina for this journey. I am getting stronger though. I’m sure it will be worth it at the end. I have a Omnilux device with Infraredlight. While I’m writing this, I have it on my ovaries to help the eggs grow… not sure if it will help or not. ;) Wish you all the best as well! I will follow your journey!
I’m sorry for everything you’re going through. I’m happy you have the strength to keep going. Sending you positive energy for a successful egg retrieval ❤
Thank you so much. I really appreciate you.💗
Regardless the outcome of this infertility journey, you have put in 100% effort . You didn’t let anyone down, and I will continue to root for you! Sending you prayers and hugs❤
Thank you so much♥️
I’m also 41 and undergoing the same journey. Hearing your story provides me with comfort amidst all the anxiousness and amidst all the ups and downs.
We're all in this together. Remember, you have a whole community here supporting you.💗
Thats why women are so strong! I am proud of you. And trust me the next embryo transfer will work. Just do 1 embryo at blastocyst stage at one time. Not two at ones. Thats what worked for my sister ultimately after a few failed attempts.
Is there a reason for only transferring one at a time? I wanted to go for twins!
@@hellynn_j
I her opinion it just majorly increases the chances of conception.
My sister (cousin).. underwent ivf several times over the span of 5 years. Each time they would transfer 2 embryos and that would be unsuccessful. This was the first time she asked her doctor to transfer only one and the first time itself she conceived. Her daughter is almost 3 year old now and very healthy.
The miracle was as soon as she delivered her and her daughter was only 3 months old, she naturally conceived without planning. She was also shocked. Now she has 2 healthy daughters 3 year old and 2 years old.
She also has a youtube channel. Although she spoke in Hindi for the most part in that video. But, the part you are interested in , is in English.
Please directly skip to 18min 56sec in the following video. She will tell you the reason behind single embryo transfer.
czcams.com/video/iyTtB0HQ2dc/video.htmlsi=A1if1urhncY9xIGF
Ok.. so I just wrote an elaborate comment explaining my cousin's case but it just disappeared.
The moral was, as per her... It just increases your chance of conceiving. She too tried for over 5 years giving beaks in between and the only time worked for her was when she requested for single embryo transfer. Her daughter is 3 now
It’s interesting, both hope & faith are things that we can easily TELL people to continue having(especially during difficult/disappointing) times…but they truly are their most valuable & important when WE (personally) need to have them ourselves. When there are no cameras to record in front of, no comments to make &/or share.
I’m a Muslim, so for me…my faith in the creator of us all is PARAMOUNT for me….especially at a time when I want something (to be successful at TTC) so badly . He will NEVER fail us Hellyn. He will NEVER place a burden on any of us stronger than our shoulders can bear.
You have come so far.
Believe in your SOUL…that when it’s meant to be…it will BE.
You got this.
Thank you for your wise words my friend.. I agree with you. I trust it will happen for us when its the best time for us, and I thank you for the reminder today❤
I’m going through it too so I feel you on every level! Stay strong, keep going…this is such a tough journey. What’s meant for you, won’t go buy you X x x
I appreciate your thoughtful words. Thank you.❤
Sending love and a big HUG to you!! You're so strong!
Hi Hellynn, I am so so sorry to hear that it didn’t work this time. You have been through so much on the roughest journey and yet picking yourself up and still share this valuable story to us. There are so much that we receive from you more than we give and I am grateful for being here in the community. It is absolutely normal what you did; being quiet and not responding the comment. When we are in pain there is a process to go pass through that and it can’t be skipped. So take as much time as you need. No one here will judge you as we wear the same shoes.
I hope you surrounding with love and good energy from the loved ones around you . Replenishing your heart and souls. I am one of the people who’s heart is filled by your story and your determination. Sending a mountain and sea of love to you.❤
PS. In Buddhism, we believe in reincarnation and the good deed that a person has been done on there account. We believe that a person who will be born with the mom has a perfect match to what he/she have done to what you have done. Beyond the a science there is are this reasons that I believe. The right ones come at their own time.
This logic keep my hearts free from blaming myself if I did the right things or making right choices.
You don’t need to reply to me. ( i know that you are busy or lazy is it is fine 😊too) I hope you have better days and feel better everyday. You are loved. You are in my pray 🙏
Your comment brought a smile to my face. Thank you for your lovely words! I feel incredibly supported by your message, so thank you so much for spending the time to write me. Sending love.
Omg 😢, God will bless you with double for your waiting days
You are really an inspiration to a whole lot of women ma’am
Your support truly uplifts me. Thank you.
I think no word could describe what u went through. Just wanna give u a big hug ❤ and wanna let u know u are not alone. Pls stay positive and strong. We will made it one day!
Thank you!! We will make it. I feel its close!
Love you and praying for you Hellynn. 🇳🇬
Sending you lots of love…IVF alone is not for the faint of heart, but for those with DOR it’s a whole different ballgame. We already go into it being told our chances are slim and numbers will be meager so the only option is a long road ahead…that being said, I have faith that ALL in God’s timing is possible! Praying you get your little miracle soon…thanks for the courage and strength to share your story and updates with us, we are in this together so never apologize for feeling sad/disappointed when things don’t work out 😌 Make sure to look after yourself, your physical and mental health, I’m keeping everything crossed for what’s yet to come 🤞🏼
That is so true, women with DOR go through a lot. Thank you for not letting me feel alone in this journey. Your support means the world to me, thank you so much.❤
Thank you for that affirmation I needed to hear that as I’m struggling with my own fertility journey as well .
Man I’m so sorry! I wish you the very best honestly. May God grant you your wish ❤❤
Thank you so much❤
Awww, you’re not let anyone down. You are strong 💪🏼.. don’t give up. No matter how overwhelmed you are , you will have that baby!
Thanks for your encouraging comment!
Sending you love. ❤
You are so brave ..so positive. Praying for you ❤❤

Thank you for being strong, honest, and courageous! I am rooting for you and wishing you all the best for this upcoming transfer. I had an unsuccessful ivf cycle and currently in the process of a second retrieval. I am hopeful this cycle will be successful. Sometimes I feel so alone through this process but your videos truly encourage me to keep going! Much love and hugs! 💕💕💕
I’m so thankful for your support. I’m sorry that you had an unsuccessful, IVF cycle, and I truly hope that this next one is it for you! I’m here for you, and so is the entire community of strong women! Sending positive energy❤
You are so strong and so relatable as a fellow woman on this journey. Thank you for your vulnerability and courage to share your story. Sending love and prayers from Texas.
Thank you for your kind words ❤
You're such a strong woman❤
Thank you sincerely❤
It's difficult to find comfort words at this time. I've been through this and I know how hard it's... But I think the best support you've already said, so I ecoed: "it may be not this time, but definitely a little closer to happen". Take care!
Thank you so much for your support and encouragement!❤
All the best sis ...... this transfer sure u will postive result
Thank you so much ❤️
Thank you for being honest with your emotions, your video has been helping me know that I am not along with my emotions as I walk the same journey. Yes, it is very scary and exciting to be both hopeful and realistic at the same time. I am sending you love and prayers that your dreams will come true… I believe that if we don’t quit, we will get what we want.
Your comment is so uplifting because it reminds me to keep going. Thank you.
I just started watching all 3 of your FET videos and I want to thank you for making those videos. Also I pray and hope for the best in your fertility journey. ❤
Thank you so much for listening to my story ❤️
Best wishes! You’re not alone! I just failed the first transfer and share your pain. Xoxo! Thank you for sharing your journey, the courage, and inspiration! My thoughts are with you!
Thank you so much for sharing. I really appreciate your empathy and kindness. I truly hope our next one yields better results for both of us!❤❤❤
You have been in my thoughts so much since your last update. You have been a role model to me for bravery and positivity throughout my own IVF journey. I cant imagine the devastation and emotions you’ve experienced after your 3rd transfer. It will happen for you. I know it ❤ thinking of you and sending love and baby blessings your way.
Your support means the world to me. Thank you for your kind and thoughtful comment, I appreciate you!
Your words gave so much hope. Thank you.
Don't give up. I Won't give up too. ❤
We got this xx
@@hellynn_j ❤️❤️❤️
Sorry to hear that Hellynn! I have watched all your videos starting your very first one, and I was so happy to see this new one and couldn’t wait to watch it! I’m glad to hear that you are doing your eighth retrieval! I have failed 7 IUIs and 1 IVF, my AMH is 0.1 and I’m not losing hope yet! I don’t know when and I don’t how, but I know that it will!❤
I love that. Thanks for the great energy.. it really lifts me up! Lets keep the faith~~~wishing you luck.❤
Hey loads of love and courage for you❤❤
I am also in ttc journey hence i know how difficult this journey can be but thankyou for being a guiding light with so much positivity🧿

I love that. Thank you for your positive vibes♥️
Sending you so much love Dear Hellynn! I wholeheartedly believe that everything happens in divine timing. And when you hold your baby one day, all will have be been worth it. You are so incredibly brave. Your child will be incredibly lucky to have you as a mom! Usually the harder something is in life, the greater the outcome, so your baby will be like you, beyond wonderful! ❤
Thank you so much for your positive thoughts! I agree with you wholeheartedly That there is such a thing as divine timing❤

I'm so sorry for this huge disappointment Hellynn 😞 wishing you much courage for the rest of your journey 🍀🐞
Thank you so much for your kind words❤
I've been praying for you that the 3rd FET will be successful. I'm saddened to hear it didn't stick. My heart aches for you😢😢. Please note that you're not letting us down with sad news. As someone on a similar journey, I'm rooting for you and just want to give you a BIG hug! You are courageous and strong. God is with you and he will provide the means amd strength for you to have a baby. God bless❤
Aww thank you for your kindness. I really needed that hug! I appreciate you❤
I have had my first FET and it failed. Let me tell you it feels horrible, I could not get out of bed for two days. I was diagnosed with endometriosis since I was 20, I am 38 now. So apart of not being able to conceive I suffer pain every singlw time I get my period and now that pain is a constant reminder that I can't have babies because of it. Do not loose hope you are not alone, I am in Mexico and watching your videos and sending you the best vibes
Hi Nadia, my name's Nadia as well...Also suffer from endometriosis, have two endometriomas cysts to be specific and low AMH. I'm 29. Got married last year and haven't been unable to conceive. Any suggestions for me. I'm sooo scared and nervous I'll never be able to conceive 😭
@@nwb4020I have endometriosis as well but I wasn't diagnosed until I was 40. If you can go straight to IVF. I had 4 failed iuis and and failed egg retrieval. I just stopped doing it because I can't with the heartbreak anymore... you still young!! Pray and have faith ❤
@@nwb4020Find a specialist. My dr removed endometriosis and also removed 1 cyst and many fibroids. Sometimes all you need is a surgery.. but like I said before I think age was a huge factor for me.
I truly appreciate you not letting me feel alone in this journey. I have so much for your first FET, I know exactly how you feel. Thank you for making me feel supported, and know that you are also supported from my end… sending positive energy and prayers.❤
Good luck ❤
Thank you❤
❤and prayer with you. You are very brave.
Thank you so much for your kindness❤
Strong brave one, u give me strength to carry on too. Onto my fourth retrieval…
Sending positive thoughts and prayers for your upcoming retrieval. You got this❤
All my love for these new trials! Please take methyl-folate and methyl-B12, and if possible try to check immune factors, for thrombosis, MTHFR genotypes and many other markers that may prevent your embryos from attaching or growing. All the best
Yes, I am taking those and have checked for all immune factors. Thank you so much for making me feel so supported in my upcoming cycle. You are so appreciated.❤
Just came across your channel and watched a few videos back to back. Don't give up. Stay encouraged. You will soon be recording with a beautiful healthy baby in hand. Blessings🙏🏾
Thank u so much 🙏❤️
sending big hugs 💕
Big hugs, right back❤
Hi Hellynn, thank you for running your channel, it is inspiring to know there is more of us going through this difficult time and wish you luck with another retrieval🙏 I will turn 41 in June, started IVF journey in Sep 23 with endometriosis surgery. My 1st egg retrieval ended up with 1 embryo - tested with Down's syndrome. 2nd retrieval even worse - no egg survived till 5th day. One last try and than we will go for egg donation. It will be probably our only chance to have a baby... Fingers crossed, wish you luck🙏
Hi there, thank you for listening to my story. Your comment also reminds me that I am not alone and we are all in what can be a tumultuous journey together. I wish you the absolute best of luck on your next retrieval, I will have you in my thoughts and prayers. Please let me know how it goes ❤
I don't know what to comment but trust me you are superwoman and you will be blessed with motherhood journey soon...❤❤❤❤ I am praying for you and soon you will be blessed.....
Thank you for your kind comment… It means a lot to me🙏
Dear hellynn
The big miracle you’re hoping for takes time, patience, understanding, and trusting the universe that it will come through.
don't let go of hope. 😊
Your encouragement really lifts my spirits. Thank you💖
Thank you for sharing your experience. My FET transfer just failed. I am also doing IVF abroad due to the insane cost of IVF in the U.S. I cried with the affirmation you shared at the end. I am terrified I will never be a mom, but I am picking myself up and will try again.
I have so much empathy for what you were going through. Please know that you’re not alone, you have a whole community of women to back you. Sending positive energy for your upcoming cycle.❤❤❤
Hi Hellynn, you’re not let anyone down. You are so brave to share your story. I am low AMH and started IVF just turned 40 in Japan. I know how you feel and what you have been through. After 3 FET failed, I needed to do egg retrieval again too. Also my doctor suggested to take ERA, EMMA and ALICE test. After took test, I found my implantation window (ERA) was 12 hours earlier than avarage. My healthy bacteria levels(EMMA) was 0% compare to avarage 90%. I was found one bacteria from ALICE. After complete all treatments, 4th frozen embryo transfer happned then the result was finally positive. I know every body is different but I am sending you a lot of hugs and my best wishes! You are not alone❤
Thank you so much for your advice… this is really helpful! Congrats on your pregnancy and I am sending you lots of good energy💖
What is the full meaning of ERA,EMMA and ALICE??
Sending love ❤ I feel your pain. I also have DOR due to a health condition I have that I only found out recently. We didn't get any egg on my first retrieval even though we saw like 6 or 7 on the ultrasound. They were empty follicles. After this, my fertility doctor said we'll try one more time but if the same result happens then we should try to consider having an egg donor. On my second egg retrieval we were able to get 3 eggs. Two survived the process and are frozen now. I'm waiting for the schedule of my first embryo transfer and praying for the best result as I only have two chances of embryo transfer.
Lots of hug ❤
I am praying for your transfer to be so successful! I empathize with you so deeply. Know that you are not alone, and we are all rooting for you.❤
this is really hard to explain, but i just want to let you know that you also bring comfort to me - i was intensely career focused and NOT ready to have my baby when i did, and it has been a massive mental/emotional struggle trying to find myself since. i suffered from debilitating post partum depression, and going on 2 years now, it's gradually starting to lift. it's the hardest thing i've ever been through, while trying to meet the demands of caring for a child.
but ive just turned 40, and now have DOR, so it really helps me come to terms with the reality of the situation.
it was not my preferred timeline, but it was possibly my only timeline, as ivf is not an option - so thankyou for bringing some much needed perspective ❤
that being said, if you have the means for more ivf, you're increasing your chances of success with every round. wishing the best for you!✨
Thank you for your incredibly thoughtful and sweet and empathetic message. I am wishing you the very best, thank you for being a part of this community and sharing your story❤
You will. God will make it happen for you ❤
Thank you so much❤
Hi hellynn,I'm selvi indonesian.I followed all your stories It was really so sad and make me cried so much... I wish you all the best. I have problems too with a tubes blocked and have done laparoscopy too doesn't work. Next month I will go to Egypt, to start my Ivf,I hopefully my ivf success in first round. be strong n love you❤
I am wishing you so much luck on your new journey, I truly hope that both of us will be successful. Thank you so much for your empathy and care. it makes me feel like I am not alone. Appreciate you.❤
I hear you with the weight gain, I’ve put on a lot myself!
I know, right?! However, I have dropped a little bit now that I’m done with the transfer meds.
Sending you virtual hugs. Following your journey. I have had this song from Elevation Worship on repeat, it brings me peace.
"The one who will never fail
He will never fail
I trust in God, my Savior
The one who will never fail
He will never fail
He didn't fail you then
He won't fail you now
I sought the Lord and He heard and He answered
I sought the Lord and He heard and He answered
I sought the Lord and He heard and He answered
That's why I trust Him, that's why I trust Him"
And my second & third repeat songs are Another One, Good to Me.
Thank you so much for bringing this message of comfort. I will lean on God.❤
Now Im inspired by the book It all starts with an egg! Highly recommend to everyone who is trying to become a mother.
Thank you for your recommendation! I have read the summary and have picked up the major points from the book and follow it.❤
We went through the same journey and got pregnant on 4th transfer, after we did seven egg retrievals, do not get disappointed, try AGAIN !!
aww thank you for giving me hope!! xx
Sending love❤ also try Utericalm by Natural Fertility prior to FET and continue through 1st trimester or at your doctors recommendation. ❤
Thank you❤
@@hellynn_j Absolutely❤
Hi Hellyn- I just found your story today and thank you for sharing! Did you test for any inflammatory markers and gut health?
Hi Hellynn, I saw your video last year and was wondering how you were doing. I’m so sorry to hear what had happened. I’m wondering whether you have seen the video of Dr Victor from Canada. I recall he mentions to do test after a couple of failed FET instead of transfer them blindly. Maybe you can talk to his team. Hope you find the cause and solution soon!❤
Sending love and prayers to you… 🩷🩷
Thank you 🙏
Just want to share with you we did two rounds of ivf. Collected 9eggs on our first cycle (4 made it to day5 embryos). Did 3transfers and all 3 failed plus chemical.p. On our 2nd round collected 10 but only two got to day3 embryo stage(one 12cells and the other 6cells). Last month We transferred the two since its our last try and guess what? 1stuck🥰 currently almost 8w(still a long way to go but m praying hard). The quote u live by really is true🩷 if its not now, its coming soon… u take care hun. Ull get there soon😘 #babydusttoyou
@@nicolefischer444 aww thank you for sharing this inspiring story! Did you purposely freeze at day 3 or did the clinic just freeze when the embryos slowed down? Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy!💖
@@hellynn_j since many didnt make it the lab quickly freeze the two strong looking ones at day3 . I convinced myself this wont work cuz i lost hope plus i read many unsuccessful stories about day3 embryos. My mistake was i didnt highlight the many manyyyy successful stories of day3 embryos. Its so clear now that if it will happen it will no matter the grade. My cousin got pregnant with her lastttt embryo which was the lowest grade… its so weird right? So no matter your embryo grade,theres always hope🩷keep your chin up hun…dont give up
Thank you for gathering the strength and inviting us on your journey. Praying for a beautiful outcome 🙏🏾 I'm on the same journey and turning 41 in a month. I took some months off last year from my last failed IVF. I'll be doing PRP before I start retrieving again. ❤💪🏾❤️
Thats a good idea! I am also considering PRP. I am praying for a great outcome for us both. Keep me updated! 😘
@hellynn_j what is PRP, please?? Explain
What is PRP, please 🙏
@@user-mz5ng9cl6m Ovarian rejuvenation with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a procedure that uses a patient's own blood to stimulate the ovaries and improve fertility.
@@hellynn_j thanks for the reply....
❤❤❤
😢 im having my FET next month. This is an emotionally taxing journey and you're lucky in the sense you have a partner who loves and supports you. You give me courage to carry on ❤
Yes, you’re right I’m so blessed to have his support. Thank you so much and I will be praying for you to succeed🙏♥️♥️♥️
@@hellynn_j thank you and you are forever in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you so much for sharing your journey and do not see this as you failing see this as laying a path for countless women to pick themselves up and carrying on. ❤❤ you are honestly so much more stronger than you know
@@syz9199 I agree with you so much!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Baby dust to you!
I wanted to ask if you have ever tried long protocol. I did it this time last 3 cycles iwas on short protocol n only got 3-4 eggs at Max. This time on long protocol I got 8 follicles and all had eggs. Normaly I have 7 follicles but only get 3-4. So please look into it if you haven't tried. Worth the shot
❤❤
