Egg Retrieval 101: A Step by Step Guide, & IVF journey update

In this video, I’m walking you through the step-by-step process of an egg retrieval. I share everything I did to prepare and take care of my body before, during, and after the procedure. Along the way, I’ll also offer some helpful tips I’ve learned—after completing my 10th round, I feel like I’ve picked up a few things that might make your journey a little easier 😊

Also, I felt super low energy after my egg retrieval… so I used my Mira Fertility Monitor to track my hormones after the retrieval. Your hormone levels after an egg retrieval are not the same as after a natural ovulation, and using my Mira device helped me understand what was going on with my body—especially with my progesterone levels. 🧪

It’s been a game-changer for managing my cycles and keeping myself feel informed and confident about what’s happening hormonally as I continue this journey, so I definitely recommend it to all the ladies out there on their TTC journey.

Last but not least, I have an IVF update. This 10th round was emotionally challenging for me, and I open up about everything that happened, including my experience with empty follicles—something I wasn’t expecting and never had before. It’s been a tough one, but I’ve found ways to deal with the lows of IVF and I truly hope sharing this helps anyone going through something similar.

Whether you’re preparing for your first retrieval or you’ve been through this before, I hope this video provides some comfort and support. Feel free to share your thoughts or ask any questions in the comments—I’d love to hear from you 💬

❤️ Some of you have asked about my NIR red light therapy belt. I got mine in Korea, but this one is pretty close: https://amzn.to/4f5uURV ❤️


About me ❤
My name is Hellynn and I live in the US, but I've traveled to Korea (where I'm from) to undergo multiple rounds of IVF. Being 40+ and trying to bring children into the world is hard, but I also have a condition called diminished ovarian reserve, so I've done back-to-back IVF egg retrievals and now have moved onto transfers after banking some embryos.

Navigating this world of infertility is definitely a challenge - a million new acronyms, hormones and protocols to learn - it's a lot. So I thought I'd just talk about everything I've been learning for the women out there who have had similar struggles. I'm also happy to share info with anyone who is interested in traveling to Korea for IVF, since it's much more cost efficient + high success rates here.

I am treating this channel as my diary, talking about the ups and downs of my journey to motherhood so that one day, hopefully, my babies will see how they were created... with fierce, enduring strength and love.

I hope you find my videos helpful - thanks for stopping by.
