Yeah, you 13 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:35,919 Speaker 1: have no idea how bad. I wish that was how 14 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: this was going. 15 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:38,639 Speaker 2: But that's not the way you're doing it. You're doing 16 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 2: for the for. 17 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 1: Those of the of you that are just tuning in 18 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 1: or don't know. I am going through infertility or IVF, 19 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 1: and the reason being is because I have a hereditary 20 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 1: kidney disease that I could pass along to my child. 21 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: So we are doing genetic testing to ensure that I 22 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: do not hand this delight right on down. So we've 23 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: gone through what's called an egg retrieval, actually two of 24 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 1: them now, where they go in and they take all 25 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 1: of my eggs and they test them and biopsie them, 26 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: and then what they do is they give me a 27 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 1: report afterwards and let me know the quality of the embryos. 28 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 1: Is everybody still with me? 29 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a lot of time. The egg or the 30 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 2: embryo is the fertilized egg. 31 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,039 Speaker 1: What's amazing is that we actually don't have eggs to 32 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: begin with. They're called follicles, and then once they mature, 33 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: they become eggs, and they are nurturing these eggs until 34 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: they become embryos. Once they are an embryo, they can 35 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: genetically test that and find out what's going on. 36 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 3: Uh, how pleasant or unpleasant is all this? 37 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 2: Them gathering your eggs and everything like that? 38 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: Oh, this is bit I'm going I'm gonna say it. 39 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: This is sorry, Hanson.

It's not a 48 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:14,920 Speaker 1: it's not a journey. I mean, if you want to 49 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 1: call it that because it feels better, fine, but this 50 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 1: is definitely it's it's a medical process. 51 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 2: Uh huh. 52 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: And just to I mean, we're family here to BTM 53 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,639 Speaker 1: I I have had three times of the month this month. 54 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: Whoa yeah, that's because whoa yeah, I'm pretty oh, I'm 55 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,679 Speaker 1: pretty over it at this point.
