IVF Journey Update - April 2022 (Secondary Infertility, Hormone Stimulation, and Egg Retrieval)

In my first Vlog here on PedsDocTalk TV, I take you behind the scenes on my journey with IVF hormone stimulation and egg retrieval.

I share the ups and downs of this process including:

1. Managing expectations as someone who did 15 days of hormone injections and was a slow responder to follicle growth.

2. Navigating the injection schedule with a toddler and a husband who works evenings/nights (and the importance of a support system).

3. The emotional rollercoaster that is this journey.

4. Managing appointments with a clinical job as a Pediatrician (Hint: IVF. in itself is a part time job!)

5. The waiting game as the follicles grow and the stress with the monitoring process

6. Side effects of the meds and egg retrieval Join me as I take you on this journey.
