So I was like, okay, 0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:09.920 So I just pretended and then Mitch said, oh, her 0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:12.960 name's Robin the dog, And that was the only part 0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:14.640 of the lie that I was like, I can't continue 0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:14.800 with this. 0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:16.600 I was like, it is not Robin, it is dog Lila. 0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:17.600 I was like, why are you lying? 0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:19.880 Not offended by the fact that we sleep together, but 0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:22.400 offended by the fact that her dog's name is Robert, happily. 0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:24.160 Be married to you, asleep with you in this lie. 0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:25.479 But my dog is not Robin. 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:27.960 I mean, there's something very questionable about dogs that have 0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:29.920 human names. 0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:33.559 It's very off Anyway, love you honey, to walk together. 0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:34.760 That's so cute. 0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:36.680 Guys, I really feel like the third Wheel.

I knew an exclusive to Chemist Warehouse 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:06.640 for just forty nine to ninety nine. 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:09.079 Now, if you are pregnant or if you are a mother, 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:13.959 there is something that a lot of women experience, postnatal depression. 0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:16.399 It is something that no one wants to go through 0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:17.400 once they've had a child. 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:19.160 Sometimes it creeps up on you. 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:23.040 It's this like overwhelming feeling that can come with and 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:26.520 after you have children. It is a depression. It can 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:30.320 be affected by the one the lack of sleep, the hormones, 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:32.600 the change of life. There's so many reasons as to 0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:35.760 why some women go through post natal depression. 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:37.680 Even be like missing an old life or now your 0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:38.839 life has changed so much. 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:40.120 I mean, I feel like it's one of those things 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:44.320 where there's so many impacting reasons as to why some 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:46.560 women go through this. But a big part of it 0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:48.520 is a hormone imbalance. That there is a flood of 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:50.480 hormones that happen after giving birth. And I think we've 0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:52.720 also told this narrative that you know you're going to 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:54.480 have a baby, and you're going to be so happy. 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:56.000 It's going to fill this hole. 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:59.120 It's going to be this wonderful, elating experience and for 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:02.400 some women it really throws them into something that they 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:05.320 would never have considered, which is this postnatal depression. 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:07.520 Yeah, and it is actually so common. 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.120 Statistics say that one in five, so twenty percent in 0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:14.200 Australia are diagnosed with postnal depression. And that's diagnosed, there 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:16.600 would be far more women that are experienced in it 0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:19.399 that aren't going and actually being diagnosed and don't. 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:21.680 Even know necessarily what it is, why they feel so unhappy, 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:23.040 why it is that they're not coping. 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:23.480 Now. 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:24.959 The reason why I want to talk about this is 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:28.239 because there's been some truly incredible and huge news that's 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:30.840 come out. So in the States, there's been a drug 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:33.560 that's been FDA approved. It is a pill that can 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:36.000 be taken for postnatal depression. And the reason why this 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:40.040 is so amazing and crazy is because it only takes 0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:42.160 a couple of weeks to work. So for some people 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:44.480 it can work in as little as three days to 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:47.600 balance out that hormone imbalance and to bring people feeling 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:50.720 back to normal, Whereas currently in Australia, the type of 0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:54.520 treatment that exists for postnatal depression can take months to 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:58.160 come into effect because women are put onto an antidepressant 0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:01.720 type script that takes time to work out you know 0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:04.200 what is working, what isn't working, and it's this like 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:07.320 quite a long process, whereas something like this take a 0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:10.320 pill once a day for the space of two weeks 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:12.400 and it solves postnatal depression. 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:15.360 Well, I think a really big aversion for a lot 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:18.040 of people to take in antidepressants is because you do 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:20.039 have to be on a drug for so long, and 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:21.640 there are a lot of women that are breastfeeding don't 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:22.800 want to be on drugs. They don't want to be 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:25.560 introducing that to life every day. I think more people 0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:28.839 would want to be taking this drug if if they knew, Okay, 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:30.560 two weeks, I can do it, fourteen days, I can 0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:31.359 do it, I'll be cured. 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:32.560 It's not long term done. 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:34.520 But there's also so much stigma that surrounds it as well, 0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:37.360 like taking any deepressants in itself, although it shouldn't, there's 0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:39.080 a lot of stigma that surrounds that. There's a lot 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:41.440 of stigma that surrounds having to admit that you're not 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:42.560 coping as a new mum. 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:44.880 Danny Ell onm thirteen one O six ' five, Hi, 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:47.039 have you had a baby. Is this something you're going through? 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:50.400 I have had a baby, and yeah, definitely went through 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:53.360 the highs and lows of the hormonal changes and just 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:56.960 not really knowing what to expect. So yeah, it was 0:04:57.120 --> 0:04:57.839 it was tough. 0:04:58.200 --> 0:04:59.240 What was the when? 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:02.839 So were you experiencing postnatal depression at the time. Was 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.520 it diagnosed for you or did you kind of just 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:07.520 work through it yourself? Yeah? 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:12.440 No, I definitely wasn't diagnosed. I didn't seek help or anything, 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:15.440 but it was just I think basically a few few 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:18.680 days in milk came in and then I just went 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:19.960 like a bit down. 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:21.800 Yeah, I think comes crashing down. 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:22.680 Yeah. 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:26.200 Well, if I can ask, why didn't you want to 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:28.440 go and be officially diagnosed or why didn't you want 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:29.040 to seek help? 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:31.719 To be honest, I wasn't really thinking about me. I 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:34.919 was just like focused on my baby and making sure 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:37.720 he was all right. But yeah, I just sort of 0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:39.880 took it one day at a time and not really 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:43.000 knowing what day it was, but just yeah, not really 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:43.760 focused on me. 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:45.760 How long did it take you to get back to 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:48.680 a point where you felt as though you were recovering. 0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:53.200 Oh, I don't even know, maybe like five six months, in. 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:55.400 Yeah, you knew you could take a pill for just 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:57.839 two weeks, if that was available to you in Australia, 0:05:57.839 --> 0:05:58.520 would you do it? 0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:01.640 I would definitely explore that, you know, I'd touch base 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:05.240 with my GP early on and you know, go, yeah, definitely. 0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:08.120 I think yeah, as you say, big game changer. 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:10.080 But the idea of nipping it in the bud in 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:12.120 just a two week process, I mean, I'm not a mom, 0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:14.080 but I imagine that would be something I'd be throwing my 0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:16.200 hand up, but I'd be like two weeks to get 0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:18.599 out of this hole and not to be taking drugs. 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:20.320 Yeah, to be a yes from me also. 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:23.279 Speaks to like the treatment of women and actual mental 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:25.680 health as a whole, Like the drugs and antidepressants are 0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:28.400 not a one size fits all solution, like they take 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:31.120 weeks and your hormones are already in flux, like you said, Glaura, 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:32.719 So adding more to that. 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:35.680 To be wild and like going back to that whole idea, 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:38.040 there is so much stigma that surrounds it and like 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:41.159 you know, it's meant to be this beautiful time where 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:43.920 you connect with your child and you're in this love bubble, 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:46.680 and for some moms it is just not that, and 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:48.320 then you feel like you're not living up to the 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:49.200 expectations that. 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:49.680 You should be. 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:51.599 Yeah, all right, thanks Danielle.

Then you've got an 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:44.640 epidemic at the local Your. 0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:46.160 Holm is not even allowed to As soon as one 0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:48.960 kid at school gets knits, everyone's told and then everyone's 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:50.960 doing knit treatments. You got the little brushy thing that 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:52.040 zaps them on the way out. 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:54.000 All right, well we're all in agreeance. What's your stance 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:56.760 on this? And I see Mama's going viral. She's taking 0:07:56.760 --> 0:08:00.200 the opposite approach. She's posted to an online four I'm 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:02.560 a mum's fouum we know how staunched the comments get 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:05.560 in the mum's online forums. She said this, My seven 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:08.239 year old daughter is best friends with the girl next door, 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:12.440 our neighbor. The family is vegan. That's fine, we respect 0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:16.320 their choice. No problem there. My problem is that recently, 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:19.720 this otherwise delightful child was at our house scratching her 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:22.920 head furiously. I had a little peek and discovered she 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:26.240 was crawling with head lice. She then brought it up 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:29.000 to the girl's mom, the neighbor. The mom said she 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:31.960 was fully aware of the knits, but didn't do anything 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:36.720 because she didn't want to harm them, not the daughter. 0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:39.720 She said, I'm in the process of combing the lice 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:42.600 and knits, but pushing them into the garden where they 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:45.840 have the best chance of survival. Of survival. My jaw 0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:48.240 then hit the floor. What do I do? Do I 0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:50.520 separate my kid from her best friend? Do I knit 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:51.480 treat her myself? 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:54.200 You gotta move, you have to move. Wait, the knit's 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:55.640 an hour in the garden. Now, the kid's kind of 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:57.640 and playing the garden. What do you think they're going 0:08:57.679 --> 0:09:00.520 to do in the garden? I frog? 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:02.559 Why what do you think laws you've got kids? 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:06.040 This makes me furious. I have no problems with being vegan. 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:08.199 I think that you can very healthily raise children on 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:09.400 vegan diets all that sort of stuff. 0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:10.920 So please don't take that in this way. 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:15.240 But that is to me, you are prioritizing the life 0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:19.840 of an insect over the well being of your own child, 0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:22.480 which feels incredibly neglectful. 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:25.280 It's also like they're really selfish because every other kid 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:27.160 that they come in contact with is then going to 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:28.200 get the last Yeah. 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:29.719 But also like, no kids are going to want to 0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:31.560 play with the kid that's got knits at school, Like 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:34.360 it's the I actually kind. 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:35.000 Of believe this is real. 0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:37.600 Like I cannot believe that there is any parent that 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:40.480 would prioritize and insects life over the well being of 0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:40.920 their child. 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:42.959 That to me makes me feel enraged. 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:45.040 Not only would I be giving the kids some live's 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:47.319 treatment when she was at my house, I'd be keeping 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:48.640 a very close eye on it to make sure that 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:50.120 that child has actually been taken care of. 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:50.440 All. 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:56.800 You can't invite kids over fairy bread party at our house. 0:09:58.000 --> 0:09:59.719 The kids kit them all down and you get the 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:02.600 little life's comb and you pretend like you're doing hairdressers 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:04.640 and your de lice your neighbor's kids. 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:05.959 I don't know if you could do that. 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:07.360 You can't touch other people's. 0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:10.720 Kids, you're just on there. You can brush another kid's hair. 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:12.599 Imagine this kid, this kid is going to be a 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:14.520 little knit kid at school. No one's going to want 0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:16.000 to play with her exact, no one's going to spend 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:18.960 time with her. Imagine calling up like Docks or some 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:21.480 sort of child protection services and being like, there's a 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:24.480 kid who has knits and their parents will do nothing 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:25.080 about it. 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:26.079 Is that dogs worthy? 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:26.440 I don't know. 0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:28.240 I don't know. I mean, I'm getting a bit angry 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:29.680 about it. You probably don't need to call docks. So 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:31.720 I definitely would be sending kid to Laura house. 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:33.560 Send them to me and I will take those. 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:35.880 Worried about that garden. Those veggies are going to be 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:37.160 crawling with knits. 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:40.000 Because they probably they're probably they grow. 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:41.680 Their own food. Of course they're living off lands. 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:43.360 I think those knits are going to suffer in the 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:45.680 garden and they're going to die really long death because 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:46.920 there's nothing for them to attach to. 0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:48.880 They don't live in the soil. I think of the nits. 0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:51.920 I could never be speak of the knits and put 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:56.079 them down quickly, changed quickly, Please think of the nicks. 0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:59.719 Speaking of kids, Actually, today is the day one of 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:03.079 life fertility journey. I'm taking you on the wild ride. 0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:05.640 That is Brittany freezing her eggs. Well, lucky, you're not 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:09.400 freezing any knits. No, that's definitely talking about it's been 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:11.640 harvested from my insides. 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:14.800 Why you smell ridicular? All right? That's next on the pickup. 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:17.960 It is the pickup Tuesday. Are Vo, britt Laura and 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:21.200 Mitch try the new fragrance DC ten Sport one hundred, 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:24.680 Mel by Dan Carter, new and exclusive to Chemist Warehouse 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:26.079 for just forty nine to ninety nine. 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:29.360 Now, Mitch, I have seen you eyeing off my lunch 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:30.120 box over here. 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:31.360 I've got a little freezer bag. 0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:33.839 I hate to disappoint you, there is no food in. 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:36.000 This, so back off this peckish. 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:40.959 These guys are my fertility drugs. Today's day two. 0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:42.720 Of my fertility treatment. Wow. 0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:44.800 Yeah, So I've been telling you guys for the last 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:46.920 couple of weeks that this was happening, that I'm going 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:49.280 down the journey of freezing my eggs because I'm thirty 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:52.400 six years old and I do not have kids yet. 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:53.520 I do not know when that's going to. 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:56.440 Happen, and we're all hyper aware that women do have 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:59.640 a biological clock. So I froze eggs like three years ago. 0:11:59.840 --> 0:12:02.439 But you know, I guess I probably thought I might 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:04.160 have a kid by now, and I don't. So three 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:06.560 years goes past. I'm doing it again. So this is 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:09.120 my bring it to work fertility drugs. 0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:11.679 What was the when you say, you know, thirty six, 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:14.040 you've done it once before, Like, what was the catalyst 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:15.920 that made you want to do a second round? Did 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:18.520 you get enough eggs in the first round, like, what 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:22.319 what's changed? I got fifteen eggs the first time, which 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:24.160 sounds like a lot. And if there's any women out 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:26.920 there driving that have done this, you know that fifteen 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:29.120 whilst it sounds a lot, it's not actually, and my 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:34.240 fertility specialist tried, they can't tell one hundred percent, but 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:37.480 she said, basically, I would tell you that that might 0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:40.760 turn into one child. Fifteen eggs turns into one because 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:44.880 you freeze them, only half survived the defrosting process, and 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:47.240 then only half of those are viable, and then statistically, 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:49.800 speaking of the couple that are left, only one might take. 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:52.600 So fifteen sounds great. Some people go in and get 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:55.280 thirty plus some people only get a couple, so it's 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:58.240 different for everyone. For me, I was happy with fifteen, 0:12:58.559 --> 0:12:59.640 but it does mean it. 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:02.000 Might own one child, and if I know I might 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:04.120 want more than one child, you have to do it again. 0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:06.720 And it's just giving me more options. It's taking the 0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:09.600 stress away because it is something you think about all 0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:13.319 the time. Is what if the time comes and the 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:15.360 fifteen eggs I have, that's one shot. What if that 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:18.320 one shot doesn't take and then I'm back to nothing? 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:22.600 But your boyfriend Ben. He's overseas. He lives overseas. What's 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:24.760 it been like this time during this process and you're 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:26.400 in the midst of doing it on your own. 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:28.960 Here I was actually I didn't really think about it 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:31.360 until now and I started, and I got really sad. 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:34.320 To be honest, I've been on my own so long, 0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:36.800 like the better past of ten years, and I'm so independent. 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:39.240 I'm okay doing stuff on my own because it's the 0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:42.560 life that I know. But something like this, it hits 0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:45.600 different because we're in love and we're doing this so 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:48.760 that we can have kids, and it's not just me 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:51.080 I'm thinking about now, it's somebody else. And I didn't 0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:52.280 really take. 0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:53.360 His feelings into account. 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:55.360 But he messages me this morning and because I'm on 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:58.959 day two and you start to get the hormonal headaches 0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:02.320 because you're just pumping horn injections. I mean, look at 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:04.280 how many drugs there are. There are so many drugs, 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:07.600 it's multiple injections. And he just messaged me and he said, 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:09.199 I wish I was there, but thank you so much 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:12.000 for doing this for us. And I didn't really think 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:14.240 about it being for us until now. I almost was 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:17.839 quite selfish, thinking this I'm doing this at the moment for. 0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:19.280 Me is my body going through it. 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:23.160 But whilst his body is nothing's happening to him, this 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:25.600 is still affecting him. And he looks at this like 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:29.240 I'm doing this for our future, which I am exactly. 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:31.240 I mean like, you're not able to have a kid now, 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:33.000 you're not in the same country as each other, you're 0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:35.520 not living with each other. But it's like this is 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:38.440 kind of safeguarding against what the future might hold. So 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:41.120 two weeks and two weeks and then they'll harvest the leggies. 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:43.400 Yeah, two weeks and then they. 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:44.520 Do have a surgery. 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:47.000 Oh, you go under a GA. You don't have to. 0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:48.480 You can have a local anesthetic. 0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:52.480 But that's literally a big needle that goes inside your 0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:54.840 vagina into your cervix and they like anthetize the area 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:55.640 from the inside. 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:57.960 I was like, you know what, just knock me out. 0:14:58.040 --> 0:14:59.240 I was like, I don't want to know what you're doing, 0:14:59.320 --> 0:14:59.600 just do it. 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:01.440 Me up. When you've gone to the corner store and 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:03.920 you've got a dozen eggs, like, yeah, I'm good for 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:06.040 that one. But you do blood tests along the way 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:08.320 and some ultrasounds along the way, make sure all the 0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:10.960 eggs inside and the follicles are growing how they're supposed 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:14.240 to be. It's really science is amazing. And then when 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:17.480 it's d Day, they go in, they harvest and they 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:18.360 freeze these bad boys. 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:19.960 Well, I just think I think it's so great that 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:21.800 you are so willing to talk about it as well, 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:24.160 because I think that there's so much mystery that surrounds 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:25.760 egg freezing. And I know it's something that a lot 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:28.760 of women consider or they think about, or it's you know, 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:31.120 you know it's there as an option, but hearing someone 0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:33.840 talk about what the process is actually like, and also 0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:37.480 like reinforcing this idea that at least knowing what's happening 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:40.080 in your body, at least safeguarding yourself so that you 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:43.400 have the opportunity of choice in the future is such 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:45.560 an important thing to do for your own fertility and 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:46.720 also for your own peace of mind. 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:48.040 Yeah, and it still worries me. 0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:50.400 I get so many people message me saying how scared 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:51.960 they are to go down it. They really want you, 0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:53.800 they wanted to do it for years. They've got anxiety. 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:57.240 And there's another level too that I think women aren't 0:15:57.240 --> 0:15:59.560 talking about because they feel like it's a sense of failure, 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:03.000 like their body is not working for them or society. 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:05.200 So they should have had kids and been married five 0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:08.360 years ago, but they're not. So they're embarrassed to say, oh, 0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:09.760 I'm freezing my eggs. 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:11.280 But that's why I want to talk about it. I 0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:12.880 want to take you all on the journey. It's going 0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:14.280
