0:00:14.480 --> 0:00:16.360
<v Speaker 1>got an update for us here on your fertility journey.

0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:19.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I do. I froze my eggs for the first

0:00:19.280 --> 0:00:22.960
<v Speaker 2>time about three years ago, and then I froze them

0:00:22.960 --> 0:00:26.400
<v Speaker 2>again just about a month or so ago. Now I'm

0:00:26.440 --> 0:00:29.000
<v Speaker 2>going through that process with my partner Ben, who lives overseas,

0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:32.920
<v Speaker 2>So I was sort of giving you guys live updates

0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:34.680
<v Speaker 2>on that as it was happening, because I think it's

0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:38.319
<v Speaker 2>really important. If you missed my last update, this is it.

0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:41.000
<v Speaker 2>I only got four eggs, which is really low, and

0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:43.919
<v Speaker 2>then one of those eggs immediately was no good, So

0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:47.120
<v Speaker 2>I ended up with only three eggs and having had

0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:50.239
<v Speaker 2>fifteen last time, and knowing that fifteen only makes that

0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:54.880
<v Speaker 2>one child, three is very low. So I'm talking about

0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:57.400
<v Speaker 2>egg freezing there if you didn't quite catch that. So

0:00:57.440 --> 0:00:59.520
<v Speaker 2>this is the second time I had frozen my eggs,

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:03.440
<v Speaker 2>so I have like another update on that update. So

0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:07.160
<v Speaker 2>I thought I was sort of updating you guys as

0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:09.680
<v Speaker 2>I was going as the process was happening, and maybe

0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:13.880
<v Speaker 2>I did that too soon so that I was actually

0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:16.080
<v Speaker 2>with Mitch at the time. I got a call saying,

0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:19.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, your three has gone to two. One you

0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:22.280
<v Speaker 2>know was no good, And so I got upset at

0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:24.480
<v Speaker 2>that because I thought, wow, like they're dropping like flies,

0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:27.240
<v Speaker 2>but two still great. And then I received another call

0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 2>saying there was some complications and there weren't mature enough,

0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:32.520
<v Speaker 2>and there's a whole there's a whole multitude of reasons

0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:35.600
<v Speaker 2>that eggs and embryos and things like that don't fully

0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:39.319
<v Speaker 2>develop and form and not viable. My two that I

0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:43.480
<v Speaker 2>got were not viable. So I ended up with nothing,

0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:53.000
<v Speaker 2>no eggs. Yeah, which is fine. It is fine because

0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:57.120
<v Speaker 2>other people go through far more than that. But yeah,

0:01:57.360 --> 0:02:01.440
<v Speaker 2>it's definitely disappointing and a bit of a hit to

0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:04.840
<v Speaker 2>think that you can go through this whole process for

0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:08.720
<v Speaker 2>weeks of these injections and in your head you're like, well,

0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:11.560
<v Speaker 2>I have science on my side, like I have everything

0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:13.919
<v Speaker 2>pushing me in the direction to get what I need,

0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:16.480
<v Speaker 2>and then to come up with nothing, knowing that I

0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:19.000
<v Speaker 2>you know I had all the help I could get

0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:22.160
<v Speaker 2>and I still didn't get one egg. As a woman

0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:26.600
<v Speaker 2>is like, really, I knew my fertility wasn't great, but

0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:27.600
<v Speaker 2>I didn't always that bad.

0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:31.520
<v Speaker 3>But did they give you any information as to why?

0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:33.480
<v Speaker 3>Because I know what the very first time you like

0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:36.160
<v Speaker 3>what you said, this is your second time doing egg freezing.

0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:38.400
<v Speaker 3>The first time you got fifteen eggs.

0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:41.079
<v Speaker 2>Yes, that was about three years ago. I got fifteen eggs.

0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:44.000
<v Speaker 2>I am doing it again in November. I'll go the

0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:48.480
<v Speaker 2>third time, and I've spoken to my fertility doctor and basically,

0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:52.359
<v Speaker 2>we're just gonna pump me so hard full of hormones excessively,

0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:55.800
<v Speaker 2>which means I'm going to be really, really crook. You

0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:58.679
<v Speaker 2>could possibly go into what they call hypervarian syndrome, which

0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:02.040
<v Speaker 2>is very painful, sometimes be dangerous if they go too far.

0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:06.000
<v Speaker 2>But they're going to try and get the balance just right,

0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:09.320
<v Speaker 2>just maybe topple me over to get as many as

0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:12.840
<v Speaker 2>I can. So I'm hoping it's not. I'm hoping. This

0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:15.600
<v Speaker 2>doesn't mean that there's never ever going to be any

0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:19.320
<v Speaker 2>I think, I say, and I say, like the next harvest.

0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:22.800
<v Speaker 2>I think the next harvest is gonna be good. But

0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:24.480
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I went to the farm's market, got

0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:26.160
<v Speaker 2>a dozen eggs and like dropped him on the way home.

0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:32.240
<v Speaker 1>You know, you say, like you know, it's it's not okay,

0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:34.360
<v Speaker 1>it's not good, it's all. It's also all right for

0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:36.840
<v Speaker 1>it to be a shitty situation, because it is. It's

0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:39.880
<v Speaker 1>the reality of life. And like you've said, thousands of

0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:42.560
<v Speaker 1>women go through this every day. I don't know if

0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:44.160
<v Speaker 1>you can speak to it. I can't. As a man,

0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:47.040
<v Speaker 1>I kind of fathom the emotions, but you must. You

0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:49.240
<v Speaker 1>would think I'm a failure. This is me. You take

0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:51.240
<v Speaker 1>it so personally, right, you just.

0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:53.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, yeah, you do, for sure. But it's not

0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:56.400
<v Speaker 2>just me. I feel a let down for my partner Ben.

0:03:57.400 --> 0:04:02.240
<v Speaker 2>He lives overseas, so he's living in Schooltland and it

0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:04.560
<v Speaker 2>affects him as much as it affects me. You know,

0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:06.280
<v Speaker 2>he wants kids. I live with the fact that he

0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:09.840
<v Speaker 2>won't get them. He's so amazing and he's been so supportive.

0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:12.760
<v Speaker 1>How to accuse you were with him when you found out.

0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:16.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I was beside myself because you automatically think the

0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:19.320
<v Speaker 2>worst as well. Like I have complete faith now after

0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:21.600
<v Speaker 2>speaking to my doctor again that we will get some

0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:23.880
<v Speaker 2>in the next round. But at the time, you know,

0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:26.400
<v Speaker 2>when you're like I almost felt better by walloween in

0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:28.880
<v Speaker 2>myself pity. I was like, yeah, I'm never gonna be

0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:30.800
<v Speaker 2>able to do this for you. I'm sorry, Like it's

0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:32.560
<v Speaker 2>I can't even do it. It's science, you know. I

0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:34.640
<v Speaker 2>just got really low. And he's like, this is not

0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:38.440
<v Speaker 2>this doesn't matter. He's like, it doesn't change anything, and

0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:40.120
<v Speaker 2>next time is going to be better and we're going

0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:42.559
<v Speaker 2>to do this together. And he's he was really really great,

0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:45.960
<v Speaker 2>and he's really big on positivity. He's like, don't let

0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:47.560
<v Speaker 2>the eggs in there hear what you're saying.

0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:51.760
<v Speaker 3>And I was like, there in there, they can't hear me.

0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:54.240
<v Speaker 2>That's my update. I guess it's like one thing I

0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:56.440
<v Speaker 2>do want to say to any women out there, I

0:04:56.480 --> 0:05:00.200
<v Speaker 2>really would recommend going to get a fertility test, just

0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:02.960
<v Speaker 2>even your blood test, because since I've been speaking about this,

0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:05.599
<v Speaker 2>so many women of message saying I wish I got

0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:08.400
<v Speaker 2>mine checked earlier because I went to get a checked

0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:10.760
<v Speaker 2>and it's too late. I'm going to early menopause, my

0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:13.880
<v Speaker 2>fertilities bad, I got into introcess so many things, and

0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:16.160
<v Speaker 2>it's so easy to go and get that initial blood test,

0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:18.480
<v Speaker 2>just to start the process.

0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:21.679
<v Speaker 1>We got ya, We got your little eggies.

0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:22.840
<v Speaker 2>No scrambled eggs for Bricky.

0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, well now you can make absolutely no.

0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:30.480
<v Speaker 2>And I'm too awkward being serious.

0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:31.560
<v Speaker 3>I always have to throw it in there.
