MY EGG FREEZING JOURNEY 🥚😳🤷🏻♀️ | Lucia Liu - (prep/cost/schedule/ultrasounds )
Hi :)
I froze my eggs :) I’m not ready for children and tbh I can’t even imagine myself being a mother. So I looked into egg freezing and decided this was the best time for me to do it.
I want to share this journey as I think that many of us might have the uncertainty of when to have children, or whether to have children.
Hope this can give you some insights about egg freezing :)
Disclaimer: I'm not a medical professional and this is purely just my personal experience. Everybody is very different :)
I was pretty nervous going in but really it was easier than I thought. 21 injections in 10 days and besides being bloated starting day 5 and a bit emotional here and there, everything else was normal. My body was really sensitive to the medications so I was way ahead of schedule and Dr. Kornafel made quick adjustments based on my body condition to make sure I was safe and to save the cycle. I had 33 eggs retrieved and 24 frozen which is a pretty solid cycle.
My bf Jason is the real mvp, he really gave me his 100% support and understanding, was there for me for whatever I needed especially during the emotional times 💜
A big thank you to Dr. Konafel and all the staffs @harvestfertility for making this cycle so smooth and taking good care of me.

I just turned 29 last month, and I can really relate to your struggle about whether to freeze your eggs or not! Thanks for sharing :)

Its hilarious how you women fall for this scam that rarely works out. just look up statistics and consult other women who froze eggs in early 00's and fell for this scam. You women are kidding yourself if you think that you will be able to have healthy children after age of 30, and especially frozen ones. You can hate on me, but you will have so much stress and issues to concieve a child. and will spend shitloads of money. Its your choice, but dont blame others or society when you let the Jēw trick you with this, at age of 29 without having at least 1 child you are statistically already behind the genetical wall for having healthy children.
Also she in video is lying about 80 to 90% chance to get 1 child from these eggs in future. The current data is In 2016, there were just 519 egg thawing cycles across the UK, up from 448 in 2015 (+16%). Of these only 35% involved the patient’s own eggs, with 65% using frozen donor eggs. The report shows that although the birth rate for women using their own eggs in a thaw cycle has increased from 12% in 2014 to around 18% in 2016 - it is still significantly below that for IVF overall (26%). In 2016, 39 babies were born to women using their own thawed eggs in treatment.
Same
But i was forced to get married and i gave birth when i was 16 now i am 20 i am preagnent again i do not know how to take care of this many babies in my age i gave birth before like let me say how many my first kids was twin baby girls after that then they was like 9+ i was preagnent again It was a baby boy and again when my baby boy was 6 again it was twin boys now again i am preagnent with a baby girl
Thanks for sharing your story. It was really enlightening, and I’m sure you’ve helped a lot of people. And I think someday you’ll be an awesome mom.
As amazing as your energy is, I love seeing you at regular levels as well 😀 You guys are awesome.
I'm 37 and going through IVF. I'm actually in the Two-week wait after embryo transfer. Since I started IVF 2 years ago, I tell every woman in their 20s to think about freezing eggs coz I do not want anyone to have to go through multiple rounds of IVF. The emotional toll alone is just a lot. I commend you for freezing your eggs. I hope it will be a relief for you when/if you want to have kids someday. Wish you all the best!
The problem with egg freezing is that only a few eggs will survive the thawing process.
I now you went through all that but I believe you can do anything and you always make my day better with the shorts and videos❤
I am a 34 single mother to a 13 year old girl. We love love watching your videos. I appreciate your vulnerability in sharing something so personal 🤟🏽❤
Congrats on successful retrieval and freezing. Thanks for sharing your story. Reading the comments, it's really evident that there are folks that want to know about this procedure.
I just turned 28 a few days ago and due to starting oral chemo soon for my glioma ( Brain tumor) my doctors recommend I look into egg freezing. I decided to do it just in case I can and want children in the future. It’s so helpful to see someone my age going through the same process thank you for sharing
Omg good luck. Having that is scary . I hope u have fastest treatment/recovery. I went thru some disturbing cancer a few yrs ago. Am stilll cant belive what happened to me. ,,check out the “cancer/vitamin C , doxycycline “ it save my life(Chemo Radiation still d main treatment tho) like it was brutal. Utter brutal. Also u should look “psilocybin “ for brain heal. It’s d ONLY thing has ever helped post Cancer. It reconnects Neurons. Psilocybin is almost the same chemical as “serotonin “ the main brain signal transmitter. It energize brain, so brain gets strong, n prevents cell death. It’s being used for treating cancer patients now post treatment. And they are doing clinical trials all over. It’s d ONLY thing worked. Literally. For brain fog. 😊
Thank you so much for sharing and documenting such a personal experience of yours to all of us. Congratulations for going thru such a successful process, I was so worried about the results.🥺🥳 I’m 24 yrs old, not thinking about having children anytime soon. But was for sure on the fence of maybe one day might freeze my eggs. It’s been something on my mind, as I think about the future. Financial independence is a big factor too, I’m still learning about my options. ❤❤❤
Good luck! I remember having to do the needles for my wife for IVF! Success after a few goes! Ups, downs, but worth the journey what ever the outcome! We will start the next journey soon. So I better brush up with my injection skills!
I love watching all your content! I'm in my early 30s and my husband and I are undecided on when to have children. I have been considering egg freezing too and not having a clue of what that process looks like or anyone who would have personal experience - I'm truly grateful for you sharing your journey and all the great info. Thank you!
Yeah do it . Do it do it. I suggest all women do it past 30. Sometimes relationship falls apart, marriage ends, or 1 gets sick, have to have plan put on hold. ( i did got very ill almost died). Past 30 egg quality dramatic goes down, n higher chance for genetic heart issues n autism. So better have eggs frozen early.
I’m glad it ended up being successful! It got me a little worried when she kept taking the 150 instead of the 125 and started feeling like crap but other than that I’m happy for her!
very beautiful, very cheerful, very sweet, very simple, the most wonderful content videos I've ever watched. always be this happy. May your smiles never be missing.
Have a good recovery and get well.
Happy everything went successful. ☺️☺️☺️. Hope to some day meet you and jason in real life. And keep up that attitude. And if ever you need a friend, most of us are here. You could say I’m not one but I am and I’ll be happy to listen and try my best to help in any kind of way. 🥰🥰🥰
Thanks for this video. I’m 26, on the beginning of my career, and I don’t feel I want kids for a time, but I would like to have the option. This is one of the best videos from freezing routine, thanks ❤️
egg freezing? i mean what happened to condoms?
@@arathortizs28445condoms don’t always work and some women hate condoms due to the unpleasant feeling from the rubber. Might as well go raw and enjoy the real feeling.
Wow. Best of luck to you sweetie and lots of baby dust for you in the near future ☺️❤️
you just an amazing and inspirinrg soul keep up the good work buddy and keep smiling as usual hope all is well from your end .. peace..
Not easy being vulnerable and sharing your personal experience. However, I appreciate the education and learned a lot. ✌🏾
Awwh sorry I just saw this video of u today I'm so sorry I will never stop supporting I just want u to be happy nothing else,keep smiling
Thanks for sharing something very intimate & personal ❤️
Thank you for sharing your experience. Just curious, as a guy, what can I do to support my wife through this process? What did Jason do that helped? Or any other commenters that don’t mind share some things that their partners did as well. Just some tips would be much appreciated. Thanks 🙏
I’m 54. I don’t think we had these options back in my days. You are amazingly brave to be sharing this with us. Thank you, very much ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for this video!!! As a woman also navigating her fertility, career, etc, it can feel really lonely and I wish someone could just tell me the answers my questions, but I know it doesn't work like that. Watching others go through it helps so much❤
you should definately freeze a lot of eggs. the world needs more of you. you're amazing
Love your videos you're just the best I want to see you everywhere
Thank you for sharing
Thirty three eggs?!!! Congrats!! I have done 4 times to take 9eggs due to very low AMH since i was 33years old.. Good luck to every girl!!
Thanku for sharing.

Respect 🙏
u would make an amazing mother ur so fun and enegetic i m sure if u did have kidz the would love u so much
Thank you for sharing and normalizing this ❤❤❤❤
Good for you both financially and mentally. Freezing early is good but IVF also depends on male factor so dont wait long until you regret it.
Male factor is almost irrelevant, for example the sperm count is thrown all around as a coping mechanism for women not being able to concieve proper child past age of 29 and a lie to calm down women who fell for modern western society scam that you can have healthy children in 30s or later without having at least one before. If you would study medicine and biology and look up statistics you would see that for yourself. A man rarely has any issues to impregnate a woman at her prime age, even if he is 40 years older than her, because it all depends on female side, they carry the burden of reproduction and health of child biologically. Egg freezing has been the biggest medical scam of past 3 decades. and its sad to see women still fall for that. if you are 30 then you need to accept that you are past the wall of having children and try to rush and concieve child and hope he will win genetical lottery to not have health issues or simply accept reality and brace for not having children or proper family for rest of your life. and just have fun with cats.
@@CC-vv2ne In fact, I’m personally going thru fertility issues and male factor is a major component. Please show some support and encouragement for one another instead of relying on stats or whatsoever. As doctors say, IVF is just numbers. Everyone’s situation is unique so just because it didn’t work out for some doesn’t mean it’s not going to work out for all. You can be in your 20s but not being able to conceive. Every child is a miracle.
@@CC-vv2ne Yes, a (not every) man *can* get a woman pregnant even if he is very old, but sperm quality and the probability decreases significantly, and the risk for miscarriage increases with bad sperm quality. Which has nothing to do with the woman's fertility but the body getting rid of ill cells. A woman's ability to get pregnant ends after menopause, but the men's ability to impregnate and get a healthy child decreases as well with age or can be bad to begin with
@@cchan2698 Only when trying to impregnate a woman past her wall. when woman is in her prime then male fertility doesnt matter.
@@CC-vv2ne this is so weird and false, fertility issues are usually blamed on women when they can easily be from the man😂 Also many women are having kids in their 30's these days due to the global economy its not hard or difficult lool
I’m 20 and don’t know much about freezing eggs so this was super interesting! Just curious, do the eggs need to be fertilized in order to freeze them?
Depends if she is going to make them embryo or not before freezing. Usually the married couples free embryos. Usually single ladies just free eggs. Because eggs n embryos when they thaw out there will be some loss. About 10% for embryo. Not sure eggs. Usually embryos takes 6 days to be carefully monitored in the lab in pretended human body temperature . Usually women in the 20s, about 50%-60% of their eggs will make to d END of embryo development. Pass 30 drastically goes down. About like 30-40, then pass 35, its like only 20 % makes to the final development . N even its full grown, some are MAL grown. So those embryos might be bad quality. So once inverted back in the lady , then if they dont attach to the uterus wall well, it falls off, or have some sort of loss. Then its GONE. All the effort for NOTHING. That’s why its like extremely devastating. Cuz some women get divorced n they thought they dont need to do it early on as they were getting married. Then they have to do d IVF much later in 30s missing out prime time for top egg quality/count. Cuz very low chance a egg can become a baby. They dont need to be fertilized to be frozen. Just eggs.
God why is she so underrated!!! 😫😫
I really want to do this thank you for sharing
You are gonna make a great mom
Hello ma'am, I know this isn't the topic of the video at hand, but my fiancée is Korean, (adopted at 9months old) she never knew her parents...and would like to get more in touch with her asian heritage. She always wants to to show me the outfits you wear on your KZhead shorts (good luck with getting her to watch longer format videos) as this seems to be the trend towards a new addiction for many with a smart phone lol 😆 to ask directly ,she is curious where you purchase the eastern influenced garb. Thank you for your time....and no worries 29 is still young!!!
Thanks so much for posting this! Could you maybe explain more about what it was like to get put to sleep? This is the part that freaks me out!! Like, what does it feel like? How do they do it? What does it feel like when they put the stuff in, like do you get sleepy or is more like wide awake to instantly out? Could you have stayed awake if you would have tried or is it impossible? Haha. Basically whatever you remember about that part would be helpful. Thanks so much!
You are amazing for what you are doing for you and you body so you can and I wish you luck
👍🏻
thank you for sharing! am 23 though it give me new view how i can reflect opinion could be result in futureee
MUSIC NEVER SLEEPS SIGN!
My mom also had me when she was really young and my sister because like ur doctor said she had really good body shape health and eggies but she didnt freeze them so she got me and my sister at bellow 30 years old
Having kids below 30 is not "really young" lol
Nice video lucia:)))
thank you. From a man point of view, we don't know what you lady's go thru. Thanks to you I have some ideas.
Totally off topic, but what kind of trees are those behind your sofa? They look super cool.
I was wondering that too! Lol
This is 8 months ago so I'm not sure how you got on, But hopefully you were successful. My wife went through 2 treatments of IVF, unfortunately we were unsuccessful both times and the Dr advised not to try again as it was very hard on my wife. I hope you all the best.
I’ve watched soo many of these videos and nobody answers where they keep them or how it works when you want to ‘use it’. I hope you are able to help with this?
The clinics can store them so you’d have to go back or pay to transfer to another clinic.
The eggs get frozen. If you want to use them, they are usually inseminated in vitro, meaning in the lab, so the fusion of sperm and egg happens outside of the body. That way they can check whether the fusion has been successful before transferring the embryo. Before the transfer, the person who will carry the baby gets another round of (different) hormones, so the body is prepared in the best way to have a pregnancy. The transfer happens at a time in the cycle that matches usual ovulation. As far as I know, the transfer is the least invasive part, because once placed inside of the lined uterus, the embryo will attach itself. It can also happen in vivo though, so the saved follicle gets placed into the uterus and then the second half of the genetic code for the future baby needs to be provided to said follicle. This can tend to be less successful, because sometimes follicles aren't able to fuse, and also, sperm gets less potent the older the person is who it's coming from. But I'm no expert on any of this, so some things I said may very well not be quite correct.
You are so brave my biggest fear 😨 is shots
Def freeze ladies (if you can!). From a 39 year old who froze in early 30s, it’s nice to have options. It’s not a sure thing, but it’s a maybe it might work plan B. And from where I was as a 30 year old to how I think now, it’s changed quite a bit. So give yourself options. Also it’s nice to experience life the way you want to and I love that I have a comfortable bank account. + if you can’t carry, there’s always surrogate
Do you consider surrogacy?
@@elene.me. all the time!!!! I told my partner all I want for Xmas is a surrogate!!! 100000%
You are AMAZING ❤❤❤❤
I hope your safe
When you put the shots for me I felt pain
Thanks so much. Wonder if they gave u any skincare and supplement restrictions? Did u have to stop using retinol skin care and stop using CBD?
How long is your stage 1 - stop birth control?
Thanks for sharing
Fighting ✊️
I remember my uncle got surgery on his hand and then my bff from 2second grade she (Kayla) got surgery on her feet because she always likes walking on her tippy toes but ppl made fun of her that's why she wanted surgery 😢

What does a freezing egg mean inside your tummy?
Why are you freezing your eggs? I don’t know what that means. But I support you with whatever you want todo!❤
Because she didn't want to have children in these few years, she froze her healthy eggs when she was young（Egg quality gets worse as you age ）so she can use healthy eggs when she wants to have children in the future (sorry, my English is not good)
New here hi madam we don't know each other but I feel it and see that your a kind happy warm person keep it up
I JUST TURNED 29 LAST WEEK AND IT HURTED OMG ITS LIKE BLEEDING MY DOG IS SNIFING IY😂😂
