  Speaker 1: What's up, babies? How you doing? Happy Saturday! Do you
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: like my hat?
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: It says Lucky Duck, and that's because I feel like
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: a very lucky duck.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: I love these hats.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know even what they are, but I have
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: one that says, like, goat.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Lone wolf. I don't know. I like things with messages
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: on them. Adam hates it. I love it. Today is
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: the day.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: We have all been waiting for, and yes, my babies,
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: I feel very much more myself.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: I can talk. I can breathe. I can almost have words.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Just Not quite, but we're almost there. As you've seen
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: in the title of the video, this is the update.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: That we have all been waiting for because the last
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: video you guys saw, the next day was my retrieval.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: I was absolutely terrified. I was scared beyond belief. And
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: I'm here to say that things went well. So let's
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: get into exactly what happened.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: And of course... let you know the whole embryo situation,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: so hold on.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Believe it or not, that night I slept well, and
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: I think it was because I didn't need to get
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: up at the butt crack of dawn, and we had
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: to leave around 10 o'clock, which was very, very easy.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: So we ended up getting up, we headed to Toronto.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: I was so nervous, I was like, Is there gonna
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: be traffic?
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Because from here to.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Toronto, you always go through this place called Kitchener, and
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: it is always backed up. We coasted through, but we
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: did get caught up a couple times, and I ended up, like,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: a couple minutes late.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: But it was fine, and everything was chill, and they said,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: go through the door with the big circle on it,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: because I didn't know where to go.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: So, I went in there, and it was pretty funny,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: because I didn't know Adam and I were gonna be separated, like, immediately,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: and they.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Were like, okay, Adam... here's your cup, and Selena, we're
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: gonna take you to the back. And I was like, whoa.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: And they're like, yeah, this is the last time you're
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: gonna see each other until you're done the retrieval.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: And I was like, I'm not even actually ready for this.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: So Adam and I went to the door. I gave
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: him a big hug. He's like, I'm so proud of you.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: You're gonna do such a good job.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Like, da-da-da-da.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: So I ended up sitting in this little room by myself.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: I was so anxious.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: It was hilarious. This nurse comes in. I'm, like, talking
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: to her, and she's like, I'm gonna get you an Ativan,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: and then we're gonna talk.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: No. so i had nativan which very much i had
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: never experienced before but it took me from being like
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: woo to not feeling woo but just being like woo
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: um she kind of explained the inside entire procedure to
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: me which again i kept telling her i was like
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: i am so scared of being awake for this experience
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: that it is like I almost backed out. Like I am,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: I feel a little crippled with my anxiety in this respect.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: And she was like, you know, we're pretty good about
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: that here. Like it's conscious sedation. I'm like, don't use
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: the word conscious. Don't do it. Don't please. So I
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: ended up sitting there for a while. It was a
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: couple hours before the doctor came in, but I think
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: it was good. I was just on my phone. I was,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: I was scrolling. I knew that I had around 17 follicles,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: which is, is good.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Um, and, uh, Adam was downstairs in the literal parking
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: garage under the building.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: And he was just getting Uber eats. So I think
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: he was stressed out because he ordered from like four
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: different restaurants, um, where some binge eating Queens, but he
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: tried lots of things. And I just remember him texting
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: me and he just went, he said, I got you
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Shake Shack burger for when you're done. And here I
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: am thinking this is like four hours from now, but
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: I was also like, thank you so much. Cause I
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: will be eating that burger. So the one thing that
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: I was also totally terrified of because I had a
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: bunch of different follicles was this thing called OHSS. And
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: the only way that I can describe this to you
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: is that after they take out your eggs, then instead
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: of your ovaries shrinking down, they just fill with liquid
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: and then your abdomen fills with liquid and then your
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: organs get pushed and then you.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: It's drowning the right word. I don't think that's right,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: but I guess it's super painful. It can be super dangerous.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: And I just didn't want that.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: So They told me high protein stuff and really salty stuff.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: So in my car, I had ready a whole bag
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: of Miss Vicky's salt and vinegar chips, which I'm not
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: gonna lie, I have lived on lately.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: So did I get OHSS?
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: You're about to find out. The moment came, Dr. L
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: came in, we took some pictures and I was like, hey,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: it's happening. He's like, yeah, it's gonna happen right now.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: I'm like, whoa, it's gonna happen?
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: And I had an IV in my arm and he
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: went to go scrub up and I went into the
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: retrieval room. So one thing that's fun, and I got
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: a lot of questions and people were like, why did
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: you get put out? In Canada, they do twilight or
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: conscious sedation, where in America, they just knock you out.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: They put you under anesthesia and you are passed away
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: during your retrieval. But no, not me. Not me, guys.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: So I went in that room and it was hilarious.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: They're like, okay, get on the bed. They had these
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: giant stirrups. And I'm just sitting there. I'm like, wow,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of people in this room for my
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: clam to just be clapping. Round of applause for everybody
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: in the room. Thank you for all you've done. You
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: get up, you scoot down, your legs are up. Like
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: I'm talking like my, they were up.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I was comfortable though. And I'm like patting down.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: She's like, no, you're good.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: You're all covered up for now, for now.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: And I was like, so I remember the doctor coming
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: in and I remember just saying out loud, cause I
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: guess she started the med.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: She's like, the room might spin.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: It didn't, but I'm going to tell you right now,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: I just went, I feel so effing hammered.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Whoa! I remember doing that.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: I have vague memories of speaking violently loud about cars, and.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I don't even know if this is real, but I
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: feel like I asked the doctor what he drove, and
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: then I was like, whoa, what color is it?
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: But I don't know, but I pretty much went in
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: for this retrieval. They said it was going to take
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: like 15 half an hour. I think it took more
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: around like 45 minutes or maybe an hour.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Gone.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I don't really remember waking up. I remember just going,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: after they said my name.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: And then I remember kind of sitting in a chair,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: but I don't remember getting to the chair.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I don't remember anybody walking me to the chair. Like
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I just.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Literally didn't remember any of that and i just remember
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: being like i'm alive but i'm dead i'm alive but
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: i'm dead and if you've seen on tiktok and on
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: instagram i kind of posted what the waking up was
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: like from this what are you doing i.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Was like we are getting ready today yeah you want
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: a liter cola i was like a curator hearing yeah
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: liter cola I don't know. I see the light. I
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: better not go in. Oh, it's you. I thought I
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: had to go. No, don't go to the light.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: I was like delusional. I was having really weird thoughts.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: I was saying weird things about different people. Like it was,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: it was weird. Adam, they brought Adam in pretty quick.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: And I remember the doctor coming in and I wanted
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: to like pull myself together so well to have like
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: a good conversation.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: And I'm just like, Yeah, and he's like, well, I
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: do know you like cars. Because I was like, did
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: I say anything? He's like, I knew you liked cars.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: And I was just like, oh, wow. And then he
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: was talking about something else. And I could hear him
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: talking to Adam. And I'd be like, yes, yes. I
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: would just pass out.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: And the other thing too is like, I'm like, oh,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: I was talking to Adam after, so he helped us
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: get down to the car and he's like, oh no.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: He's like, you walked down to the car, like you
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: walked out of there, you got on the elevator, you
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: got into the truck, like you got in the car
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: by yourself.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: And I was like, excuse me? All I remember is
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: being up there. I don't remember putting clothes on.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Somehow I found my Lip Smackers cotton candy roller lip
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: gloss because thankfully that made it home.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: I remember laying in the truck all the way back,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: a blanket.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Pulled up to here, and I remember just being asleep
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: but being awake and Adam being like, incoming, and I.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Would just go, and he would put a salt and
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: vinegar chip in my mouth.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: And I guess on the way home, I ate almost
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: an entire bag of salt and vinegar Miss Vicky's chips
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: because I didn't want to get this OHSS. But I'm
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: skipping forward here because you're kind of curious how many
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: eggs were retrieved, right? If you didn't see it everywhere else,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: the eggs that we retrieved were 25. We retrieved 25 embryos.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: So out of the 25 embryos, they needed to be
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: mature enough to fertilize. Because, you know, Adam went and
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: did his part successfully, easily, and without any pain, of course.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: But yes, Adam went and did his job. They went
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: in some room. They're like, 19 of these are mature.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: So incredible numbers.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: 19. 19. right?
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Usually between every call. So they call you on the
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: first day, let you know what fertilized. They call you
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: on the third day, let you know who's still growing.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: And then they call you on the fifth or sixth
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: day to let you know who turned into an embryo.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: And then another day, if other ones were on waiting
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: and between calls, you lose 30 to 50% of the babies.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: I call them babies, um, between each call, which is sad,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: but to me, I'm just like, you know what? This
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: is a part of what I'm doing. I'm which is
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: a weird choice to make, but you know what I mean.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: So they got 25 eggs, okay? So now I'll let
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: you know, because we got our first egg call in
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: a minute. So I remember getting home. I don't remember
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: coming inside, but I remember being so nauseous. I remember
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: having a shower. I think Adam helped me shower.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I was in pain. On that last
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: day before retrieval, you feel like there are pumpkins inside
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: your body. And these pumpkins are.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Like, whoa, let me out.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Let me do things.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: And you look pregnant, which I got a belly, so
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: it was just bigger, which was not fun. But I
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: remember Adam helped me shower, and I remember Adam was
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: in the shower, and then I was like, I'm gonna
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: throw up, and he was like, are you sure?
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: And I yarked. A whole bag of Miss Vicky's salt
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: and vinegar chips. Yeah, that's what happened. It was gross.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: And then I got into bed, and Adam said, you
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: probably don't, but do you want that Shake Shack burger?
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: And I was like, you Yes.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: So then I ate half a Shake Shack burger and
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: I fell asleep and I woke up and, um, I
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: felt very alive. Everything hurt, but not in an intolerable way.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Like I didn't take any pain medication. Like if the
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: cramps were bad, I got, I took Tylenol, which was
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: like a whatever. Um, And then we are waiting for
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: our day one call. So we get the call and
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: they say, out of your 19 mature.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Follicles, eggs, 18 of them fertilized. And then like in
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: the 19 one, we're still waiting on, we're still waiting.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: It might do something.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: So first, these are great numbers.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: So then it's just kind of a panic and trying
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: like not to focus on things violently to wait for
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: that next call.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: So Over these next couple days, I'm worried about OHSS.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: I'm feeling crazy.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: I have to take this drug called Letrozole, which is
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: also known as Femera, which I remember from trying way.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Way, way, way back, back, back in the day.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: So here I am taking this drug, wondering why I
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: am the sickest I have ever been.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Because people said, you know, I thought that all the
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: shots were going to be the worst part.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: I would gladly take all those shots again, not to
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: deal with what I dealt with after the retrieval, which
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: was this Letrozole. And I don't want to scare you
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: because a lot of people do totally fine with it.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: but I was nauseous. I was like to the point
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: that I'm like rocking on the couch, but you can't
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: throw up, but you're just like, oh, I'm going to
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: be so sick and everything hurt. And I'm going to
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: be honest, I was definitely supposed to take them to
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: the end, but I didn't take my last one. But
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: I am a week and a day past retrieval. Everything
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: is back to size. I am feeling fantastic. I don't
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: have any pain. I don't have the OHSS. I definitely
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: wouldn't know by now. There's definitely not extra fluid. After
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: the retrieval, a couple of days, I've got back down to,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: I call it my, my, my pre, my pre-retrieval weight,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: because the weight I had gained there, I, I honestly
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: had put on about nine pounds of just, I.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Think, good old eating and ovary swelling, I don't know.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: If that's normal, but that all just, like, came off,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: which was fantastic, because I didn't like that, um, but yeah,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: so the, so there was the firmware that I had
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: to take, and then I also had to take another, like,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: estrogen pill to bring down my estrogen, and put it.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Welcome home into the hole.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: So I did that one till the end. And then
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: interesting was exactly five days after my retrieval, I got
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: my period. And I just like that because it just
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: reset my body. So I am feeling.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: So much better. Okay. So now let's go into our
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: day three call. Day three. Yes.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Day three, all 18 embryos. We're still growing. We hadn't
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: lost any of them. So they were like, since ago,
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: I like, we're going to.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Call you on the sixth day, which was yesterday. Nope.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Nope. Yes. No. Yes.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: The sixth day. I have no memory. It doesn't work
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: in my brain.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: So they call me and we're, this is where apparently
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: you lose the most, which is you lose your 30
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: to 50%. We ended up going from 18. So this
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: is now, these are not embryos. This is what made
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: it to embryos. So we went from 18 to to 11.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: So we had 11 embryos, but four were still growing.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: So I had this feeling that 15 was going to
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: be the number. So that was 15. My lucky number
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: is 13. And I was like, oh, how fun would
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: that be? So they're like, there's four more that are
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: still cooking.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: They might turn into something. I'm like, all right, all right,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: all right, all right. We're going to call you tomorrow,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: probably in the afternoon.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: So Adam and I decided to have a date because
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: yesterday was the first day that I felt like I
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: could exist on human planes. Where I wasn't panicking and
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: I didn't feel sick. Because I'm not going to lie,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: I'm still dealing with some hormones. It's been an adventure.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: But they called yesterday. And two more of those little
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: eggies turned into embryos. So we ended up with 13 embryos.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: And then they all had to go on to genetic testing.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: And genetic testing, I think it was around $ 4, 000 or something.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: But that's for 8 eggs.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: And then each additional egg was $ 350. I just want
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: to test them all. I want to, because like I
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: have some health issues. Adam has some health issues. If
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: we're going all the way through all of this anyways,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: I want to see who is like survival of the fittest.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Like they're going to grade them. That's what they do
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: with genetic testing. They're going to grade them.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: They say which ones are normal and abnormal. And they're
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: going to go from like best to last. And I
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: want to start from the best and just like work
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: our way. Work our way through our eggs. It's so
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: weird to talk about this. It's been kind of an
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: emotional battle because during all of this, I was like, oh, like,
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: it's so sad that I can't carry it. But the
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: one thing that I learned talking to the doctor is
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: because of my uterus. And this question still keeps coming up.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: So I want to be really.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Clear about my uterus.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: I have a eugorneate uterus, and pretty much the doctor
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: explained that as I have half a uterus. And the
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: reason why none of my pregnancies have lasted is it's
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: just not a hospitable environment for them to grow past
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: a certain stage. Not only that, the doctor let us
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: know that this was the best decision for us, because
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: I know that's something that a lot of people also,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: they're like, is this the best decision? And, you know,
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: it feels like... this is our last shot. This is
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: the last thing that I'm going to try to do.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: I have such amazing people around me and being able
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: to meet the woman who is.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Our surrogate is amazing.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: And having her a part, it felt like it was
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: meant to be because she's also been in this situation
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: a few times before.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: And, um, the doctor had let us know.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: That the way my uterus is, a lot of women
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: give birth so early and that causes so many hard things.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: And I just don't want to push for my body
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: to do this, and then give someone a life.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: That isn't good.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: And then the other side of the argument is, why
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: don't you guys adopt? I have looked into it, and
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: I have spoken to people who.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Have adopted around here, and I.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Would love to adopt one day, but the difficulty of
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: adopting around here seems kind of insane. And that was
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: heartbreaking as well, but I... you know, maybe having a
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: child would make that easier. I just, I think it
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: would just be, I don't know. And I know I don't,
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: I don't have to give anybody an explanation, but I
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: just also, I want to experience.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: This, I guess now. Cause when I was like, but
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: first I want to experience having a baby, which I
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: will never have. And then it's like, but then let's just,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: let's try this. We have this amazing opportunity. Let's try this.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: And that's what we're doing. Anyways, I'm rambling.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: I'm waiting for this genetic testing call where they're going
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: to let us know how many of these embryos are
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: normal that we can use, which is so crazy that
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: science can do that now. And then, you know, we're
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: going to move on to transfer. And there is like,
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: depending on how things line up, we might get the
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: best Christmas present ever, which would be crazy.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: But if not, that's fine, too.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: But I'm just glad you guys went along for the
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: ride and this has been a journey.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: It's been an experience. It's been amazing. I'm just glad
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: I didn't go get the OHSS.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: And, you know, I also want to say thank you
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: to everybody in the comments last video, like people who
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: are asking questions and people who are answering them and
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: also people who have dealt with a lot of the
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: same things that I have and people with Eukaryotic uteruses
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: like it's something you're born with like it's a genetic
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: abnormality and I also found out that a lot of
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: people who do have Eukaryotic uteruses only have one kidney
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: which I have two which is great I had a
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: kidney stone once yeah that wasn't fun I just keep
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: thinking back to being under anesthesia well not the twilight
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: sedation And, um, guys, I'm such an awkward human being.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: And I think I'm just more fearful of the shit
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: that I say more than actually being underneath the anesthesia
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: and not feeling things at this point. I want to
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: know what I said to that doctor so bad. And
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: I want to apologize if I said anything not good.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Because back in the day, I mean, they tell me
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: the things they say. I had, oh, my wisdom teeth out.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: And I said some things and I was a little nasty.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: So I don't.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Think that happened, but if it did, and by some
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: weird chance in the world, they see this video, apologies,
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: apologies to you. Okay, guys, I want to thank you
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: so much for hanging out with me and coming for
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: this update. I know it's something that we've all been
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: waiting for. Um, It's been a great experience. I hope
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: I never have to do it again. Let's just hope that,
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: can you imagine all 13 of these eggs are like,
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know what these are made of.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's the one last thing I want to talk
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: to you guys about.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: The reason why I think I didn't lose too many eggs.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: I take so many vitamins and I have been taking
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: them for a couple months now. It's how I've gotten
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: like Really strong, shiny hair and why my skin is
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: so clear and why I function really well, I think,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: as a human and kind.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Of how I um, cured a lot of my anxiety.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: And I'm going to tell you what I take right now,
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: just for fun. So I take my blood pressure med,
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: not for you guys. Um, hopefully I'll be off that eventually.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: I take the MTFR-5, one milligram, because I did, um,
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: gene testing on myself and I found out that my,
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: it's called the mother fucker, gene was shut off. So
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: I take that. It's a kind of folic acid. I
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: take a magnesium every single day. I take krill oil
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: every single day. And then I take these other ones.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know what they're called right now, but it's
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: like beef liver in pills and crushed bones in pills
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: because I don't drink a lot of milk because I
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: have lactose intolerance, but I call it something else like
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: lactose F off intolerance because I just suffer because I
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: eat all the dairy that I can in the world.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: I take that. And then I also take Wow, Adam.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: Wish you were here. I really wish you were here
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: What's the one that makes your... I think one that
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: makes your tummy hurt, but keeps you from getting sick,
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: but it doesn't make my tummy hurt.
• 20:50
