I don't know what happened. But anyways, I think for me, the process was... I don't want to like scare anyone, but it was harder than I thought it was going to be going into it. I thought the worst part was like, oh, the shots and the needles because I don't like shots and needles. Like it makes me squeamish. But for me, I think it's more the mental aspect because the hormones are like so intense.

And so whenever you do, at least for me, because I've done two rounds now of the egg retrieval, that to me is the worst part because I think that it's more just the mental aspects. Like your hormones are so out of whack that I feel like they'd be like, I'd go to an appointment. Like you have 12 follicles. I'm like, what?

well I'm like I thought I had more than that like I like freak out you know but it's like you get really scared because you just don't know what your results are going to be and I think because the first time I did IVF I was expecting to get like 20 eggs and then I got came out of surgery and like you got nine and I was like how because I'm like I don't know I've not been told I have any issues so like

I mean, not that it matters, but still. And so then the second time we actually got 17, but I was freaking out because they're like, you have 12 follicles. I'm like, that means I should make 12 eggs. And like, it's just like a whole process. I think it's because women go through this and it's like such a financial burden as well. And so I think that's what makes it so intense.

It really screws with your brain, is what I will say.

have my daughter because of IVF and then I have this baby and one more embryo it's like I'm so incredibly grateful because it gives people a chance to have kids who maybe either couldn't or maybe they have genetic issues like there's so many reasons why people do it and so I think it's just an amazing thing so for me despite all the negatives it is like a hundred percent worth it and I'm so so like grateful for like the process and is there I mean I'm sure there was a lot but is there one thing that you can share that Jacob did throughout that process that made you feel super supported
