Full Record of Cross Ocean Childbirth: My 30 Day Journey to IVF in the United States 🌟

It has been several months since I decided to embark on the journey of IVF in the United States, and I am both looking forward to it and feeling anxious. In order to give ourselves and our husband a complete answer, we chose INCINTA Fertility Center located in Torrance, California 🏥， From consultation, examination, ovulation induction to transplantation, every step carries the hope for life.

Day 1: First Interview& Preparation stage

On the second day after arriving in the United States, I met a reproductive specialist at the INCINTA Fertility Center. The doctor thoroughly reviewed my medical history, past examination reports, and arranged for basic hormone testing and negative ultrasound scans. I was nervous that day, worried about not meeting the standards in the preliminary inspection, and looking forward to a beautiful future 💡。

Day 5: Promotion Plan& MOOD SWING

The doctor provided a personalized ovulation induction plan based on my physical condition and started taking ovulation induction injections. In the early stages of medication, I had to self check my body temperature and record the development of my follicles every day. Mild bloating and fatigue in terms of physical reactions, fluctuating mood, sometimes excited, sometimes worried 📌。

Day 10: Follicle Monitoring& Seize the golden period

On the day of the follow-up visit, the ultrasound showed that the follicles were growing well, with one side reaching a maximum of 18 millimeters. The doctor arranged for me to undergo an egg retrieval surgery in the operating room where the sea breeze brushes my face outside the window. The whole process took less than half an hour, and the postoperative recovery was good. The number of eggs I obtained gave me a small sigh of relief, feeling one step closer to hope ✅。

Day 15: Laboratory Embryo Culture& The first expectation

After the egg and sperm combine, they are sent to the laboratory to begin embryo culture. Every day we receive reports from the laboratory about the division of embryos: from 2 cells to 4 cells, and then to 8 cells, each division excites us greatly. At that moment, it was as if I saw the miracle of life quietly blooming outside my body 🌱。

Day 20: Preparation before Embryo Transfer

After the embryo develops to the blastocyst stage, the doctor arranges a transfer time with you. I started doing endometrial conditioning, taking oral progesterone support, and maintaining sufficient sleep and nutrition. My family and friends constantly encourage me: the most important thing is to relax. So I tried meditation and yoga to give myself more positive energy 💬。

Day 22: Embryo Transfer& Heartbeat like a drum

Finally, it's the big day! On the day of the transplant, I lay under color ultrasound and easily felt the embryo being pushed into the uterus. The process is not painful, but the heart is surging because it is the beginning of a new life. Doctor's advice: After transplantation, one should rest in bed for 24 hours and take good care of their body and mind ✅。

Day 27: Stay still for two weeks; Anxiety and hope coexist

Within two weeks after transplantation, regular blood tests for pregnancy should be taken. Every time the needle pierces the arm, the heart jumps out of the chest. In my daily life, I try to take easy walks and maintain a good mood. I also reminisce with my husband about the moments of these days and encourage each other 🌈。

Day 30: Pregnancy Test Day& Exciting moment

Finally, on the day of my pregnancy test, I went to the hospital early to have my blood drawn. A few hours later, I received the result - positive! At the moment when the number showed "HCG ↑", the two of us hugged each other and cried. All the hardships, anxieties, and expectations along the way dissipated in this joy. We immediately shared it with our parents in China, and at that moment, it was as if the whole world was celebrating for us 🎉。
