After IVF, like needles are nothing.

They're like, yeah, absolutely nothing.

I'm like, crank it up.

Yeah.

No, I have been blessed with pretty good skin.

During IVF, I had a lot of really deep-seated congestion and my skin really freaked out in a different way.

And that was one of the hardest things for me because I felt like my exterior was looking as crap as my inside.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And whereas my skin had always been really good and I really understood for the first time the struggle of people who do have problematic skin that makes them feel less confident and it's painful and it's hard to hide with work as well.

I felt really self-conscious.

It has been good at the moment.

And I found...

When I went through my immune protocol IVF, which is where they pump you full of steroids and different kind of drugs trying to basically lull your body into a sense of not attacking any foreign bodies like embryos that go in, I puffed up.

So you get moon face when you've been on steroids for too long.

So like prednisone, you actually get all this fluid retention and my face swelled up to like a little moon.

I didn't realize how bad it was until I started going through my old

content that I'd taken depressingly across the last five years.

And I was like, oh, I remember that phase.

Oh my God, why didn't anyone tell me that my face looked like I'd been attacked with a filler pen, which I've never done.

And I was like, oh my God, I look like I've really gone to war, you know, at a cosmetic surgeon and come out with a moon face.
