Preparing for Your IVF Cycle - Lindsay Kroener, MD | UCLA Health OBGYN/Fertility Clinic

Very interesting and useful video. It's short, but at the same time, it gives you general knowledge about IVF and how to prepare for it. It is good to have a positive outlook but know that IVF may not always be successful. I personally had 5 cycles. Unfortunately, none of them was successful. Chances of a successful IVF decline significantly after 35. I was 41, when my last cycle failed. I think my age was the main reason IVF cycles didn't work. Donor eggs were not an option as we really wanted a baby who shares a genetic relationship with both of us. Eventually, we decided to go for a cycle of mitochondrial donation. As I was 40+ and had multiple failed IVF cycles, I fit perfectly. For those who don’t get how a MD exactly works. They take out the nucleus from a mother's egg and transferring it into a donor egg, which has had its nucleus removed. This combined egg is then fertilized with the father's sperm and implanted into the mother. The resulting embryo has chromosomes from the mother and father but also retains mitochondrial DNA from the donor. So even though they use the popular phrase “three-parent baby” to describe the treatment, the resulting embryo only has a tiny bit of DNA from the donor. A child born from MD has 99.9% of its DNA from its two parents. Currently, I'm pregnant and expecting my baby!

I think this is an awesome video! The boons of IVF and it's very high success rate with most of the serious infertility issues in pretty much known to everyone. On the fertility forums, I see a lot of women are keen on knowing how they should be preparing for IVF. Naturally, to have got to IVF they all must have had a significant amount of TTC failures and disappointments to deal with which makes them take every single prep. they can think of. It's more of mental and physical preparation I think. While there are several videos explaining the actual IVF procedure there's haven't been any discussing on the pre-IVF stage. Also, I've heard histerosalpinogram is really effective in identifying issues concerning physical barriers or endometrial defects very effectively.

I need the money that much, I'm ready to sell my line in having a baby!
Imagine seeing such a newspaper title. But that is my life. Sad but true.
Just the truth of mine. If you want to save about a year of your life and have a baby sooner, write to me.

I’m 100 percent certain, absolutely certain for that matter that this illogical form of impregnating ...and artificial fertility... is simply a terrestrial artificial construct, in other words, being that life does exist in the universe...simply put this artificial construct of fertilization...is earth shit and earth shit only. Which will never and ever never take root anywhere else only on earth...period....clearly. An overpopulation...playing around in artificial fertilizer for impregnating procedures . That is a beauty mask that’s leftovers is flicked and flung only on earth..and it’s effects of the fertilizer beauty mask makes even the average terrestrial women of “wealth”...look rather poor really...poor were it really really very real really naturally matters... in conscience. Artificial fertilization..is a overall poor, miserly and stingy...deposit. That’s really all I have to say on this matter.
