The IVF journey
Kenya Moore, 47 had heard from people that the IVF procedure is a rather tough one. There are painful injections to be taken and these lead to raging hormones in the woman’s body leading to their side effects on her.
She was also told that there could be a disappointment at the end of it if the procedure fails.
On learning of all this from others, Kenya Moore was a bit concerned. But she still decided to go ahead with the procedure and has not repented to her decision. Kenya Moore said that she considers herself lucky to have got results without much pain.
She said:
“I don’t have a horror story,”
She continued:
“It’s weird because you hear other people’s troubles with the injections and the hormones. And for me, it was a pretty simple process,”
Talking about the hormones and their effect on her body, Kenya said:
“I think I was okay. I think I felt a little emotional but I wasn’t going zero to 100 or anything like that. It just wasn’t as bad as I heard other people go through. The injections were fine, I got through that by myself, it was fine. I didn’t feel crazy, I didn’t feel like I was losing control or anything like that.”
The pregnancy
Kenya had the IVF procedure performed on her and she was being monitored for the whole process. She decided to have the blood test done at the clinic for proper confirmation. But on the way back after the blood test, Kenya also decided to check with the over-the-counter test available at the supermarkets.
Describing it, she said:
“As soon as I take the [blood] test and I’m driving home, I’m like, “I should just go and get a test from the supermarket.” So I rode to the supermarket and literally took the test in the supermarket bathroom because I could not wait. It was just overwhelming. I could not wait. And it was positive. And then I got the call from the doctor later that day confirming that I was indeed pregnant and had a positive test and what my HCG levels were. She said it was all really good news. I was like, “Oh my God, I don’t know what to say!”
