funny tease. Katie has been gone for a couple of weeks.
How long you been gone?
Speaker 1 (00:17):
I have, yeah, almost two weeks.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
And where were you and what were you doing?
Speaker 1 (00:22):
I have, Well, we've talked about it before.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
I'm going through the IVF process where my husband and
I are trying to have a baby.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
And that's the International Vulture Foundation. Correct, correct, correct, actually
in veto fertilization if you're not familiar. But and you've
been at this for a while.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Yes, we started this in May and we have gone
through two processes, which are called egg retrievals, where they
take my follicles and mature them into eggs, and then
we had to pick from the best lot. Out of that.
We have six. But last week or actually yeah, no,
(01:04):
this week.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
It was Monday.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
They put the strongest of the embryos into me and
it's a little boy. Oh wow, but boy was that
not an enjoyable process?
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Whoa mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Were you awake?
Speaker 1 (01:21):
I was awake. I that to my surprise. I was awake.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
For some reason. I always thought you were. I would
have just assumed you're asleep during this stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Well, they knocked me out for both of the egg retrievals.
So I was going in.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
There all, you know, chest puffed out like I got this.
They're gonna knock me out. I'm gonna wake up. I'mnna
feel great. No, No, was awake for the transfer process, which.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Is invasive.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Did they go in through or you who? Or how
do they do it?
Speaker 1 (01:47):
They go in through the you who. It's okay, we're
adult here.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
It's the same process of as having a pap smere Okay,
it's they.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
I've not had one, so I know you have not.
By the way, y n Jack free for the sake
of us all, you.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Know, a whole cleansing.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
No, but for any female listening, they'll they'll understand what
I'm talking about. But so, yes, they go in through
the maturely called you who, as Jack said, and.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
They inserted a catheter.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Into my uterus and writer into my uterine lining which over.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
The I know Jack Jack will clicking about the throw up.
Uh which over the last two weeks.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
One of the reasons that I've been needing to be
like down for the count is because the medications that
I've been taking have been making my lining of my
uterus fluffy as they've been saying fluffy. They use all
the adjectives no female ever wants to be described as
they've been calling me fluffy, sticky, and thick.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
One of the girls who did one of my ultrasounds went, damn, girl,
you thick.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
I was like, thank thank you, thank you, that's what
we're looking for.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Yeah, So I actually I posted the video up at
armstrong getty dot com in Katie's corner. It's actually really
fascinating because you can so she inserts the little catheter
and you can hear me. She's She's trying to talk
to me as this is going on, and I'm going
mm hmm, okay, yeah, because I'm just I'm just like,
get out of there.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Was it was it painful or just uncomfortable? You know,
two different.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I'm having a hard time telling the difference between the two.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
But I can't tell.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
If it was so uncomfortable that it was painful, I
don't I don't really know. All I know is at
the end, once everything was done, my color left my
body and I damn near passed out.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Oh my, Katie, tell me if this rings true to
you having had a number of uh significant medical procedures
and you have two Jack, there's a feeling. It's not
pain exactly, but it's your animal brain telling you this
should not be happening.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Yeah. I was thinking of when they buyap seed my tumor.
So they had to go in through my back with
the long needle all the way inside, and I don't
know if you've described it as specifically painful, but it
was just like, yeah, it was like, this is not
something that's supposed to happen to me. Whatever is happening here, yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
You know what that that's exactly it.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
And my doctors, doctor Amy of oz Day out of
the East Bay in uh California, and she's just she
is an angel. But the whole time she was kind
of tapping the side of my legs, going relax your legs,
Relax your leg cause my.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
My whole, my whole.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Fist right in your relax. I'm sorry I lost, but
that was so and.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Like I actually remember trying to like center myself and
relax the lower half of my body, but I just couldn't.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
I know how many times have I done that where
I like, Okay, I'm on top of this I got it.
I've said my mantras, I and then like it disappears
in a second lot.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
I'm playing a golf course in my head, a second
hole is a power for now I.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Can't get up. Yeah. Oh, she she came in. She
comes into the room. She's like you ready.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
I was like, I'm ready, let's do this, and like
two point five seconds into it, I'm.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Like no, no, no, no, no no. You know. So
it was actually quite the production.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
There was an embryologist there who was the woman who
actually had the embryo and who has been doing all
this science y stuff to it. I don't know what
all that is.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
I know that she put.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Drew's sperm in there and has been watching him grow.
That's all that I know. But she came in through
a door that I didn't know was in the room.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Yeah, she came up from behind me and she here
she comes, and she's got it like she's holding it
like a silver platter, you know.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
And doctor Amy goes, thank you.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
And they put it up on the big screen and
it was this whole thing, and they were doing their
best to like distract me from what I was physically
going through.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
We like funny faces, stuff like that, animals.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Cracking jokes. There was house music on in the room.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Okay, you know, like I don't know, well, you know
enough to over overdo the theme. But so much of
modern medical medicine as a miracle. But those things would
never happen to you unless you are being murdered. Like
for the entirety of human history, nobody would be doing
what they did with that needle jacket unless it was
(06:24):
a sword.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
But she so she gets and you know it wasn't
She put the catheter in, which I don't know that
I felt. I think my brain felt it, which made
me feel it because I could see it on the screen.
But then she she takes the embryo and she goes, okay,
here we go. And in the video you can see
this little light white blob going through this little tube
(06:51):
and then all of a sudden, right into my uterus
and almost lit up.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
And what was funny is when she when she was
doing it, doctor Amy as as he went because it's
it's a boy, as he went into my uterration, she went, oh.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Oh sound effects.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Yeah. And then and then after that it was done.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Other than the fact that they had to get me
like six ice packs and bring me back to life
because I've decided to, you know, vacate.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
So is God willing the pregnancy going to proceed in
more of the usual way at this point or do
you still have to get jabbed and poked and drugged
and stuff.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
So I have my first pregnancy test next Tuesday, and
then they do a follow up just to make sure
on Thursday. And then at eighteen weeks is when they
do the big test to make sure that he does
not have polycystic kidney disease, which is the whole reason
we've been doing this.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
So that's called PGA testing.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
So they're gonna I have a feeling, I have a
terrible feeling that that's going to involve a needle going through.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
My stomach to get the ANII fluid.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
I think, I know, I hate to tell you, but
and I hate to think that that's what they're gonna do.
But uh so, it's gonna be kind of a waiting
game until eighteen weeks and then I'm just staying positive
that he does not have it.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
He's not gonna because it's a fifty to fifty shot.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Fifty fifty.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
It's polycystic kidney disease is a fifty to fifty percent
hereditary disease.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
So but he's in there, well do we say congratulations?
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Okay, yeah, he's in there.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
And and let me tell you, I've had to quit
all of my vices, which is a good time, right,
No drinking, no occasional vaping, no uh anything, which.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Has made me a joy.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Oh boy, yeah, no comment.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Yeah, Drew's still alive. I will let you know that.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Good.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
But everything's good.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
I I and I was texting with Hans and I
was like, dude, I just I just want to come back.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
It's I didn't. I didn't like being away for as
long as I was.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
And so I we're feeling good and a little still
a little medicated, but I will be medicated for another
twelve days and then I think I'm done with those.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
But I remember when you're pregnant. It funny, I don't
remember this. Do you drink caffeine or not? No, no caffeine, Nope.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
That's some coffee list today.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Okay, so that's a tough one too.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Yeah. Other things yeah, yeah, caffeine booze. Uh sushi, oh
my god, that's one of my.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Favorite can't eat sushi when you're pregnant.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Deli meats, so no like Deli sandwiches unless it's hand
carved stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Probably probably bull riding. You're not doing any of that anymore.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Go bull riding, which is like passion. Yeah, I know,
I know, so well cool, Yeah, I'm excited.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Like I said, his name is Jack Joe Michaelangelo Hanson Green.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
How roughly long have they been doing this for people?
How long has this technology been like a regular thing?
Oh jeez, I don't like decades or a couple of
years or I don't.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I know, doctor Amy's been doing it for a long time,
and she's I mean, she's one of the best of
the best, so I should ask her how long she's
had her practice.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
But can you explained to us that insurance is not
covering a lot of this and it's pretty expensive.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
It's quite expensive. But there are there are certain.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Places like if you have I've read that if you
get like if you have a job at Amazon, Amazon
actually covers in fertility it am, but I don't.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
I don't really know other companies do that.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
I'm glad I asked the very first successful IVF birth
I remember this was Louise Brown in England in nineteen
seventy eight. Oh wow, and doctor Robert Edwards won the
twenty ten Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for this breakthrough.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
It's obviously progressed. Yeah, I just wonder how long it's
been like common for regular people to do. I don't
know that.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Well.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
I was blown away by the amount of people that
listen to the last podcast about this and reached out
to me on Twitter or whatever, saying, you know, my
wife is going through this and it was really nice
to hear somebody.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Else talk about it.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Yeah, so that's why I you know, I've never really
been a closed book about anything, so I have no
problem talking about this stuff. And the other cool part
is that so since we have six very healthy embryos. Also,
I'm very good at making girls because I have one
boy embryo the rest of chicks.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
But once the two we want two babies.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
So once we're done, the remaining embryos are going to
be donated to families that can't.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
What a beautiful thing.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Yeah, so be afraid there might be more of me
out there.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Fine, God help us. Final note on my months of
research on this topic. It was really in the early
two thousands that they stepped on the gas pedal and
it became much much more widespread and efficient, and millions
of babies have now been born worldwide. If since nineteen
seventy eight.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Well we all learned something. I don't want to put
my feet in those stirrups. I just don't feel like
that's my best side.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
You should try it one time, just one time, just
going there, when you go to the doctor's office and
be like, hey, doctor, there a stirrups on this chair.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Let me can I just one time.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
It's kind of comfortable, seems like I'd feel very vulnerable
exactly to help your empathy there.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Tough guy, yeah, murder face, Yeah, there's.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
No need to go after his murder face. You're gonna
make him more murdery. My wife is going to do that.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
But after hearing this, we're just gonna do a foreign
exchange student this summer.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Excellent.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Well, I guess that's it.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Michael.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
You're just the greatest
And he's in. It's one more thing.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Since we know the topic matter. That's a pretty pretty
funny tease. Katie has been gone for a couple of weeks.

I are trying to have a baby.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
For some reason. I always thought you were. I would
have just assumed you're asleep during this stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Well, they knocked me out for both of the egg retrievals.
So I was going in.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
There all, you know, chest puffed out like I got this.
They're gonna knock me out. I'm gonna wake up. I'mnna
feel great. No, No, was awake for the transfer process, which.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Is invasive.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Did they go in through or you who? Or how
do they do it?
Speaker 1 (01:47):
They go in through the you who. It's okay, we're
adult here.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
It's the same process of as having a pap smere Okay,
it's they.
Speaker 2 (01:54):

By the way, y n Jack free for the sake
of us all, you.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Know, a whole cleansing.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
No, but for any female listening, they'll they'll understand what
I'm talking about. But so, yes, they go in through
the maturely called you who, as Jack said, and.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
They inserted a catheter.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Into my uterus and writer into my uterine lining which over.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
The I know Jack Jack will clicking about the throw up.
Uh which over the last two weeks.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
One of the reasons that I've been needing to be
like down for the count is because the medications that
I've been taking have been making my lining of my
uterus fluffy as they've been saying fluffy. They use all
the adjectives no female ever wants to be described as
they've been calling me fluffy, sticky, and thick.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Yeah.

fascinating because you can so she inserts the little catheter
and you can hear me. She's She's trying to talk
to me as this is going on, and I'm going
mm hmm, okay, yeah, because I'm just I'm just like,

I'm having a hard time telling the difference between the two.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
But I can't tell.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
If it was so uncomfortable that it was painful, I
don't I don't really know. All I know is at
the end, once everything was done, my color left my

Speaker 2 (04:48):
I know how many times have I done that where
I like, Okay, I'm on top of this I got it.
I've said my mantras, I and then like it disappears
in a second lot.

hole is a power for now I.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Can't get up. Yeah. Oh, she she came in. She

Yeah. And then and then after that it was done.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Other than the fact that they had to get me
like six ice packs and bring me back to life

He's not gonna because it's a fifty to fifty shot.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Fifty fifty.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
It's polycystic kidney disease is a fifty to fifty percent
hereditary disease.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
Okay, yeah, he's in there.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
And and let me tell you, I've had to quit
all of my vices, which is a good time, right,
No drinking, no occasional vaping, no uh anything, which.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Has made me a joy.
Speaker 2 (08:46):

Speaker 1 (08:49):
Yeah, Drew's still alive. I will let you know that.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Good.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
But everything's good.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
I I and I was texting with Hans and I
was like, dude, I just I just want to come back.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
It's I didn't. I didn't like being away for as
long as I was.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
And so I we're feeling good and a little still
a little medicated, but I will be medicated for another
twelve days and then I think I'm done with those.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
But I remember when you're pregnant. It funny, I don't
remember this. Do you drink caffeine or not? No, no caffeine, Nope.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
That's some coffee list today.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Okay, so that's a tough one too.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Yeah. Other things yeah, yeah, caffeine booze. Uh sushi, oh
my god, that's one of my.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Favorite can't eat sushi when you're pregnant.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Deli meats, so no like Deli sandwiches unless it's hand
carved stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Probably probably bull riding. You're not doing any of that anymore.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Go bull riding, which is like passion. Yeah, I know,
I know, so well cool, Yeah, I'm excited.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Like I said, his name is Jack Joe Michaelangelo Hanson Green.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
How roughly long have they been doing this for people?
How long has this technology been like a regular thing?
Oh jeez, I don't like decades or a couple of
years or I don't.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I know, doctor Amy's been doing it for a long time,
and she's I mean, she's one of the best of
the best, so I should ask her how long she's
had her practice.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
But can you explained to us that insurance is not
covering a lot of this and it's pretty expensive.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
It's quite expensive. But there are there are certain.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Places like if you have I've read that if you
get like if you have a job at Amazon, Amazon
actually covers in fertility it am, but I don't.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
I don't really know other companies do that.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
I'm glad I asked the very first successful IVF birth
I remember this was Louise Brown in England in nineteen
seventy eight. Oh wow, and doctor Robert Edwards won the
twenty ten Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for this breakthrough.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
It's obviously progressed. Yeah, I just wonder how long it's
been like common for regular people to do. I don't
know that.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Well.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
I was blown away by the amount of people that
listen to the last podcast about this and reached out
to me on Twitter or whatever, saying, you know, my
wife is going through this and it was really nice
to hear somebody.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Else talk about it.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Yeah, so that's why I you know, I've never really
been a closed book about anything, so I have no
problem talking about this stuff. And the other cool part
is that so since we have six very healthy embryos. Also,
I'm very good at making girls because I have one
boy embryo the rest of chicks.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
But once the two we want two babies.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
So once we're done, the remaining embryos are going to
be donated to families that can't.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
What a beautiful thing.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Yeah, so be afraid there might be more of me
out there.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Fine, God help us. Final note on my months of
research on this topic. It was really in the early
two thousands that they stepped on the gas pedal and
it became much much more widespread and efficient, and millions
of babies have now been born worldwide. If since nineteen
seventy eight.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Well we all learned something. I don't want to put
my feet in those stirrups. I just don't feel like
that's my best side.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
You should try it one time, just one time, just
going there, when you go to the doctor's office and
be like, hey, doctor, there a stirrups on this chair.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Let me can I just one time.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
It's kind of comfortable, seems like I'd feel very vulnerable
exactly to help your empathy there.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Tough guy, yeah, murder face, Yeah, there's.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
No need to go after his murder face. You're gonna
make him more murdery. My wife is going to do that.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
But after hearing this, we're just gonna do a foreign
exchange student this summer.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Excellent.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Well, I guess that's it.
Speaker 3 (12:49):

Speaker 1 (12:50):
You're just the greatest
