IVF Explained: My Entire Journey From First Consult to Transfer Day
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you’ve ever wondered how IVF actually works, this episode walks you through everything.
I’m taking you from my first consultation in August 2024, through the endless labs and imaging, my Lupron era, stimulation meds, bloating, monitoring ultrasounds, and the entire egg retrieval process. Then I break down exactly what happens to the eggs in the lab… fertilization, embryo development, blastocyst grading, and PGT testing. And finally, we walk through the embryo transfer process: how estrogen and progesterone work, what lining monitoring looks like, and how the actual transfer takes less than 20 seconds but somehow changes everything.
This is a long, honest, detailed episode designed for:
- anyone starting IVF
- anyone supporting a friend going through IVF
- or anyone who wants to feel seen, validated, and less alone
If you’re navigating infertility or preparing for IVF, I hope this episode arms you with clarity and reminds you that you’re not walking this road alone.
