00:00Every time you get your period, it just becomes so emotional because you're just starting back over again.
00:06Hi, I'm Sophia Jenison. I'm 29 years old. I'm a registered nurse, and I'm going through IVF for the very
00:11first time.
00:12I've been struggling with infertility for two years.
00:15Taking cases like Sophia's in mind, I just want everyone to know that it is never too early to investigate
00:22what you're working with.
00:24Knowledge is power.
00:25Your follicle count is quite high. We worry about something called PCOS.
00:30How fast is sperm or swimming was a bit on the lower side for him, and so it would make
00:34sense to consider IVF as our next step.
00:37Tonight we're doing trigger shots.
00:39I've never seen somebody get that many shots at one time.
00:42Today is the day. It's egg retrieval day. We got our embryo results back.
00:47You have two additional embryos that made it to the blast this day.
00:51Oh my god, that's amazing!
00:53So, we retrieved 38, and now blast will be 10.
00:59Today is August 1st. We found out that we have five embryos.
01:03It was just like the best news ever.
01:06Three boys, two girls.
01:09Third pilot shot.
01:12Transfer tomorrow!
01:14It's been a lot to get here, so all the work feels worth it.
01:20Today is October 30th.
01:24We just had our ultrasound, and the embryo stopped crowing, so they don't think it's a viable pregnancy anymore.
01:31It really sucks.
01:35We were just so hopeful.
01:37It's just so emotional.
01:39Thursday, February 26th, and we're doing our second frozen embryo transfer.
01:44And you can see that flickering. That's the heartbeat.
01:49Congrats!
01:53We are pregnant!
01:54Yay!
01:56Today is April 10th, and I can't believe I get to say this, but we have graduated from our kind
02:03body clinic.
02:04I just can't believe that this day has come.
02:07Lots of up and downs, lots of crying, lots of happy tears, but I wouldn't change it for the world.
02:15Everyone's fertility journey, we call it a journey for a reason.
02:18What's important to know is that you're not alone.
02:21Becoming a mom to me is something that I've wanted to do since I was a little girl.
02:25I just knew that if I didn't want to be a nurse, I wanted to be a mom.
