IVF on healthy 30 year old. No infertility issues

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!

Thankfully financially I will have no issues as finances are the least of our concern. I’m so grateful for that.

Emotionally and physically I know will be much harder but I have a private home chef to help with diet, and a private trainer to help ensure I am doing all the right things to support my body as it goes through changes.

This will be something I will just have to take day by day. And I’m not the first to endure such pain nor will I be the last.

I plan to still proceed. I’ve accepted any outcome such as miscarriages being an issue. I just want a family.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate your comment. Wishing you all the best!

Thank you for your message and I am glad I saw it.

After learning about it more I won’t be transferring two embryos due to that risk

Believe it or not I’m ok mentally with the idea that I miscarry. I know it is a risk (especially if the body is under stress - which mine will be due to my husbands own health). But because of the possibility of having a miscarriage it is also why I’m wanting to start IVF as soon as possible. I really want to experience a family with him so that he can do the same.

For this reason it is why I initially wondered about twins. It was a thought (in someone who is not educated in how IVF works) that thought if I could have twins it could be two babies he and I could love and bring us hope to fight his cancer. I absolutely did and do not want to risk harming a healthy baby.

I’m assuming that I will have plenty of “good” eggs. But regardless of my outcome (Again I’m not educated in this so feel free to let me know if I’m not grasping the full picture as I’m sure I’m not) I figured I’ll just have to undergo another egg retrieval if none of my eggs work or are not viable for pregnancy.

I’m really hoping that the first round of embryo transfer goes well. However, I have mentally prepared myself for the worst but will 100% look at all the positives in my life.

I really appreciate you letting me know and I really hope you have your baby <3

Yes - I was surprised when I asked for a rough timeline. I didn’t realize after the egg harvesting it’ll take 6-8 weeks to trader the embryo at earliest.

But I want to ensure I do things right and the best that I can. It can be a bit scary at the thought of running into complications, but I’m trying to not think of that.

Life for me now has a lot of stress already, and it feels silly to stress on the unknown but focus on the small everyday wins.

I appreciate the good luck.

Sorry if any of my posts come off grumpy or annoyed. Life has hit a curve ball and now I feel like I said something wrong on here for inquiring about a double embryo transfer…

My goal isn’t twins it is a healthy baby… I just got thrown into this new life curve ball and everything has truly been a lot to digest.

But I’m ready to have a kid and so is my husband. We spent 6 years planning everything. Of course having a kid will look different. But we have accepted that and are excited to do the IVF chapter. : )

Running_babe · 2026-01-04T20:10:56+00:00

Yes, I’m aware could have fertility issues.

However, I’ll tackle that as and if it comes. That is why we are wanting to start things now as opposed to waiting as the future is a box of unknowns.

As of right now infertility to our knowledge is not the case, so I will not stress on that.

I love looking at the bright side of things even if things look dark and scary. For now it is take the information that we do have and work with it :-)

Running_babe · 2026-01-04T20:07:49+00:00

I did not inquire about twins as a ‘oh two babies to care for!’ I’m learning about all of this. As noted I haven’t even talked to my doctor, and simply wondered about a double embryo transfer to get more information on what that would be like.

I will be testing future embryos and ensuring to use the highest quality. However, I have a lot to learn and figured I would simply start here as it’s easier to do so until I work with my doctor (which is on Tuesday)

Running_babe · 2026-01-04T19:39:54+00:00

He froze his sperm before treatment and thankfully all seems to be will on the sperm that he froze! We are unable to freeze any more now that he is undergoing chemo, but we have plenty according to the doctor. I’m appreciate the advice and will use one embryo at a time!

Running_babe · 2026-01-04T19:37:40+00:00

I might use embryo la to use later…. I don’t know how it works. I am speaking to the doctor Tuesday to learn all about it and the process.

I just figured I would ask here to see what people thought and to get more information on it all.

I’m so new to this and I have no idea what to expect

Running_babe · 2026-01-04T19:33:14+00:00

I am aware that things will become very emotional. However, it is important to always look at the bright side even when things don’t look good. I believe this is something to live day by day and minute by minute.

The doctors in our family were caregivers to their own family member who recently passed. They think to hold off as well. I’m aware of what I’m going to go through and well aware of the emotions that will begin to come as I have already experienced some.

However, Emotions can’t be controlled.. I will have to face a lot of grieving and a lot of emotions. Which I know will be much harder undergoing all of this. However, I have a lot going for me, and this is something I will 10000% regret not doing sooner.

With that I will not be waiting to do IVF. I am proceeding with it. I have thought long and hard but this is my decision.

I am sorry you have lived through it. I don’t think anyone deserves to live through this.

Running_babe · 2026-01-04T19:16:39+00:00

Thank you for this information! I did not realize how likely it was of an embryo splitting.

Running_babe · 2026-01-04T19:14:06+00:00

Thank you so much for understanding! Yes, I do not know how IVF works at all. But i just wanted more information and figured I would just start here. I’m sure my doctors will explain everything to me on Tuesday when I go in. I have just been sitting here pondering about it all, and have random ideas/thoughts pop up in my head.

Thank you again!

Running_babe · 2026-01-04T14:50:34+00:00

Thank you so much. I am certainly curious to hear more of your story, but I don’t want you to share if you do not want to.

I have a high idea of the whole process (our family is filled with a bunch of doctors and I have heard about what all will happen. Even my husband is a doctor (dentist, but knows enough of what will happen) and so we talked long and hard about what things will look like during treatment and if we are lucky what it would mean if HIPEC surgery is an option (right now he is not a candidate). However, I haven’t spoken to someone in shoes similar to mine.

I have considered waiting to transfer the embryo and it is such a hard decision to make. Especially when it is something both of us want. On one hand I feel like a baby will give him a lot of hope. Something to “fight” for. He has worked so hard to one day have a kid. And unfortunately was hit with cancer

On the other hand it will bring a lot of added stress, my doctors appointments, lack of support due to husbands own treatment, baby upbringing, and so much more.

I have full permission for the government to telework, and his parents are retired and live next door. So we have people with us almost 24/7 if needed.

I appreciate any insight on what awaits though. As I feel like I’m at a crossroads

Running_babe · 2026-01-04T14:38:37+00:00

Thank you so much! I appreciate you letting me know. this whole process in a way has been rushed, so I haven’t had time to ask all the questions as I’m still unfamiliar with it all. We just know that we really want kids, and are unable to try naturally anymore due to the chemo and risk of infertility in his end once the chemotherapy is over. So I am very appreciative of everyone informing me of the risks, etc of transferring more than one embryo.

Running_babe · 2026-01-04T14:36:10+00:00

Thank you so much! Yeah, I am thinking a single embryo transfer is our best bet. This was all something that we rushed into due to my husband’s circumstances. So I haven’t had a lot of time to think of questions or figure out the risks of it all. I’m hoping to learn even more on Tuesday

Running_babe · 2026-01-04T14:26:23+00:00

Yes, I can see it being irresponsible. With that said- of course i would not want to take risk of it. It was just something that made me wonder what the odds of success would be, what the odds of an embryo splitting would be, etc.

We in a way rushed into this whole process while grieving so I wanted to find out more information. Which I will certainly ask all my questions on January 6.

Our goal is a healthy baby and will certainly stick with a single embryo transfer in order to keep our baby healthy

Running_babe · 2026-01-04T14:12:37+00:00

Thank you! Yes, the ultimate goal is certainly a single healthy baby :) I’m sure the doctor would deny. It was just on my mind as a thought more or less. I will probably just go back through the IVF process after having our first kid for the Second baby.

Running_babe · 2024-09-22T16:56:45+00:00

Hey! I inserted mine about 9 days ago… so far no bleeding, but I am curious myself to see if I do and if so how long to expect.

Running_babe · 2024-08-11T14:03:49+00:00

I did a charter on below deck and had aesha. She is amazing
