Yeah.
So I did a round in Los Angeles and it was pretty dismal.
I got very few eggs.
I did the retrieval.
In the retrieval, none of the eggs that I got actually made it to the blast embryo stage.
So it was like $25,000 worth.
to me, completely thrown down the drain.
And the doctor was basically like, I mean,
It's stats, and this is your age.
And overall, even if you really see this through and do multiple rounds, like I ran the data analytics, and you probably have an 8% chance of being successful through IVF.
And that's another thing I want people to know is IVF is not a cure-all.
It's not like if you're not having kids now, you can be like, oh, I'll just do IVF later.
It is so far from a guarantee.
It's not a guarantee.
And for many people, it does not work.
So that's just, I think, a misconception is that IVF is the insurance policy.
And as long as you have that, you'll be OK.
And that's just not true.
It's not.
Yeah.
