All right. Today we are joined by Gabriela and Alina who
00:02
have been openly sharing their IVF journey on tiktok.
00:05
So let's bring them on Gabriela Alina.
00:07
Hello. Hi. Who's this ocean?
00:14
There's our first IBF.
00:16
Baby ocean. She's precious.
00:31
So OK, we'll jump into it.
00:32
You guys decided to pursue your IVF journey in Tijuana.
00:37
And so why did you choose to go to TJ instead of
00:40
the US? I feel like there's a few different reasons
00:45
Here obviously in the US,
00:47
it's triple the price.
00:50
We definitely got quoted from like two different doctors about 25 to
00:56
40,000. It's kind of like if it works,
00:59
we lose it all and 40 grand is a big chunk to
01:02
lose versus we go to CJ.
01:05
We maybe spend 10 and that doesn't hurt my heart as much
01:09
It's not guaranteed then,
01:11
right? Like if you don't get your money back,
01:13
no, it's never guaranteed.
01:15
So like whatever how you can go all the way through your
01:18
process and at the end,
01:20
like if you just don't get pregnant after the transfer,
01:23
like all that money is gone.
01:26
I actually had a client too that did it here and lost
01:33
Yeah, you're definitely taking up.
01:35
He said it was 25 to 40 here and around and in
01:41
Mexico and then for some reason,
01:43
our second round too is a lot cheaper than the first.
01:46
Well, we already had embryos saved the second round.
01:50
So now this time around we're spending way less versus the first
01:55
time. And you would say in Mexico it's like super legit
01:59
basically the same thing but just cheaper.
02:03
I think everyone gets scared because it's Mexico.
02:06
They don't think it's legit.
02:07
But this clinic, like you go into it,
02:09
you get blood work done,
02:10
all the results are in clinic,
02:13
the doctor, she's so well known.
02:16
There are so many people from the US that were sitting and
02:18
like everyone kind of just starts to chit chat in the office
02:21
and there's so many people from everywhere.
02:24
She had the country,
02:26
she had people from Texas like just different states and countries.
02:31
So like, I feel like this doctor knows what she's doing
02:35
from seeing it from the doctor office from when we first started
02:39
with her to now like going into the second time the doctor
02:43
office has become a lot more,
02:46
Yeah, what would you say is maybe one of the biggest
02:50
challenges with IVF. People say it's so hard.
02:54
Like it's such a hard process to go through.
02:56
What would you say is one of the biggest challenges I think
02:59
it's, it's a mental and physical draining like journey because you
03:05
wanna believe so hard that it's gonna work for you and so
03:09
you wanna stay positive.
03:10
But there, there's always that like other thought in the back
03:14
of your head, like I don't know,
03:15
I don't know what's gonna happen.
03:17
I don't know if it's gonna take and then physically like I
03:20
I'm the one that puts my body through it.
03:23
So like the shots and stuff and it hurts like the shots
03:27
hurt like and I like Alina will do my shots and stuff
03:33
and I know she hates to see me go through it too
03:35
So I think it's just both of us trying to like
03:37
push each other forward to like just keep going.
03:40
But it is like such a a draining process.
03:44
But the end like having her was such a like damn like
03:48
this is possible like we such a reassurance like we did it
03:53
once, let's do it one more time.
03:55
A little blessing. Thank you guys both.
04:00
I really appreciate you coming on.
04:02
I know this is a very like,
04:04
you know, a sensitive topic and we appreciate your transparency with
04:08
this topic. So thank you both.
04:11
I want the doctor's info too just in case because I'm getting
04:14
older too. So I like this could be for me later
04:17
on Tambien. So the thing is it's pretty cheap out there
04:22
too to freeze your stuff and just keep it in.
04:25
That's awesome. If you guys aren't sure now you guys could
04:28
always, you're back,
04:30
she'll make it happen.
04:32
Oh my God, I need her info,
04:33
please. And where can people follow you on social?
04:35
And they've been posting about your journey on tiktok?
04:37
Yeah. So it's two underscores GG 400 you could.
04:48
Well, there you go guys,
04:48
show him some love and thanks again for joining us.
04:51
