Strength for Motherhood

by tanyafindlayupdated on June 3, 2019October 17, 20181 Comment on Strength for Motherhood

Having taught yoga classes for nearly a decade, exercised all throughout my pregnancy, I assumed I would jump right back into working out after giving birth (once I received the official go-ahead from my Midwife).

  • Three years ago today, I snapped this hospital selfie seconds before walking into our third and final egg retrieval, full of hope and also terrified of the outcome. Not so ironically our Egg Retrieval Anniversary 10/10 falls on #WorldMentalHealthDay . IVF is such a numbers game! We did 3 rounds ofย intrauterine inseminations (IUI) and 3 rounds of in vitro fertilization (IVF) over the span of 3 years. . I've aways been the one to get ahead of myself, setting timelines and goals (where my Virgos at?!). With IVF you almostย undoubtedly fail to reach any of these simply because the procedure only has an average success rate of 20-35% according toย @resolveorg in other words, you ๐Ÿ’ฏ can't count on the first (or second or even sometimes fourth) round of IVF working... . With every procedure, every cycle, every phone call with pregnancy results, you instead are forced to take a deep breath and concentrate on the very next step. . Its so critical to take care of your mental health (even more so while undergoing IVF)! Seek out a counselor or attend a support group, such as @shinefertility - which will help sort through your feelings and least of all, uphold some self-preservation (avoid baby showers and stay away from social media). @pullingdownthemoon is another great resource for holistic support in conjunction with your IVF journey (from acupuncture to yoga โค๏ธ) Ultimately, do what you need to protect your heart and mind your mind! But above all else, please know that you are *always* worthy of self-kindness. . Oh, and in case you're curious about those magical #s from the fateful day that brought us our tiny miracle... 20 eggs retrieved (from round III IVF) 13 were mature enough to fertilize of which 9 did (fertilize) By day 6, only 3 were viable embryos 2 then came back from testing as genetically normal and 2 months later both would be implanted (once my body healed from ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome) 1 sole embryo would turn into a viable pregnancy ๐ŸŽ€ (and there you have it... from 20 eggs to 1 baby with no remaining embryo sibling option and that was only the last round of IVF) ๐Ÿ #EggRetrievalDay #IVFjourney #thisiswhatinfertilitylookslike
