 Hi, this is Nick from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and you're watching trucker Josh vlogs on YouTube and let's go pens We're styling this morning Morning Chevy morning Frank morning diesel Good boy It's Monday morning. It's we have an appointment in Winnipeg for the IVF procedure. It's called a lipid infusion For Brit, I'll let her explain it later. Maybe Gotta get into Winnipeg for 945 that's when it starts and apparently this procedure takes a few hours So I'll be waiting down in the husband's parking lot for a little while You got to remember to bring my phone with me. So I have something to do this whole area of our yard that was flooded Is now slowly growing back That in the corner has never really grown that well It used to be a flowerbed back here, and then I took the flowerbed out and grass never really took in this area Sort of just been letting this Tree grow here, but we're gonna have to be careful because all the wires up there You may have to transplant this tree. There she goes. This is a natural medicine clinic What that means exactly? I have no idea Didn't get a chance to vlog with her yet before she went in maybe we'll see how it went when she gets back But I'll give you guys a little rundown. So they it's gonna take two hours here And they inject her with some kind of natural medicine that Will prevent her body from rejecting the embryo we've two embryos frozen for those of you who are new We're going through the IVF process here a little bit of behind-the-scenes trucker Josh vlogging today at home not just a trucker We're going through this process to have our first baby and We're almost there almost this one. It's been a very long very expensive journey, but We're getting close So they're gonna inject her with this takes two hours It sort of shuts off her immune system which sounds a little bit scary But they give her antibiotics so her body won't reject the embryo when they implant it in about a week or two and The antibiotics sort of just work to replace the immune system in the time being said she doesn't get any infections or anything because Her body's sort of gonna be shut off For fighting things off so antibiotics help that that's all I can really tell you That's all I really know. I'm the dude. So my job is pretty easy But she has had to go To hell and back through this process And any of you out there who've gone through the IVF process or know somebody or you know, it's a pretty common thing It's kind of a taboo thing for some reason to talk about but I decided to go into it on my channel here and bring You guys along for this journey just to sort of break that stigma a little bit because there's nothing really Taboo about it. This this happens. This this is something that a lot of couples are going through nowadays and The reasons for all the infertility around the world. Well, that's probably a topic for a whole different vlog because I don't know I'm not a doctor. I'm not a scientist, but it is an issue so Maybe it was an issue before as well And we just didn't know because we didn't have the technology and stuff to know but nowadays with modern medicine and science and Technology, it's amazing what we can do and how we understand the human body. It's been a huge learning process for me I've I've really I Was gonna say I enjoyed learning all of this, but it's My part's pretty easy. I can't really talk on it But after this two-hour appointment here, apparently she's full can expect minor symptoms Nothing like the last procedure which was very painful for her So she shouldn't be in that much pain and I believe this is the last appointment before the What they call the transfer where they implant the embryo that's frozen. I think no, we have an ultrasound But those don't really count. They're just ultrasounds just checking on things And this appointment here is about $1,200 Canadian. So around a thousand bucks American This whole process of IVF from start to finish Is running us about $20,000 if you're if you're wondering Philsy who are thinking hey, maybe we'll go through the IVF. I encourage you go for it do your research But here in Manitoba anyways, they were very vague about the price and the schedule and what all happens We had to do a lot of research ourselves learn ourselves and learn as we go We were kind of disappointed with the amount of information the lack of information we got So that's why I'm sharing it with you guys now You know what to expect prices are different in every region of the world Manitoba has their own Process we can actually claim this on our taxes in Manitoba and get a lot of it back So it sounds like a big chunk of money But a lot of it does come back to us through tax returns and tax benefits, which is very nice Other places don't have that other provinces in Canada prices are different clinics are different This is all private health care. This isn't a part of our public Canadian health care So we pay for it all out of pocket Not everything is covered in Canada by our health care. This wouldn't be considered basic Necessity health care. So this is all out of pocket So we're getting a good taste of what the Americans go through every time they go to the doctor, right? Forking over money every time they go see a doctor. I know how you feel now Anyways, I'm gonna leave it there and I've talking for now. I'm gonna wait for her to come out of here I'm just sitting here on in the husband's parking lot on the street here. This is a different clinic than the one we usually go to so Little bit of different scenery for me at least here You guys want to see where we're at. This is in St. Boniface on Des Miro on Street or as the French say day me all That's how they say it exactly like that. I actually went to high school in this neighborhood So it's feels at home to mother redoing that bill in there. Cool Or maybe they're taking it down. I don't know I'll talk to you soon And just so you know, I do feel kind of weird being the one to explain all of these Procedures to you because it's not me that's going through it. I keep reminding you guys of that I prefer it when Britt explains it, but she's Not as big into YouTube as I am she doesn't mind being in my vlogs. She likes it But I'm more of the the camera geek guy I'm the guy who likes to talk to the camera more often So very often it's me sort of explaining things because this is this is what I do. This is sort of my job To talk to a camera every day It's what I've been doing for 11 years now. So I'm a little bit more used to it But it's not that she doesn't want to talk to you guys don't worry I try to include her as much as possible. She loves being in the vlogs I always it's usually my fault I forget to take out the camera when I'm with her because I'm just enjoying being with her and then When I'm by myself in the car like this I get bored and what do I do when I'm bored? Do I feel myself doing silly things or talking about stuff? Anyways Let's wait till she comes out here and I'll let you I'll let her tell you How it went and how she's feeling and Then we'll have more of a timeline because tomorrow morning we have an ultrasound and then I think I Think after that is the transfer, but that's not the final That's not the final one either. There's like a whole host of appointments after that. This is a huge process Huge problem. We've been in this now for oh years years, so Yeah, I'll stop you happen. I'll stop you happen I'll see you in a bit So we had some good news. It was a lot cheaper than we thought it would be a thousand dollars cheaper. I Read it wrong like 98% cheaper Oops got the war wound Usually things are more expensive than we expect them to be yeah So we just anticipate a thousand dollars more and then we're pleasantly surprised when it's less. Yeah, so it was only what two Winner box a hundred ninety hundred ninety dollars even yeah, how are you feeling good fine normal? Yeah, she said less than 1% of people get flu like symptoms and she's only ever had one Client who got sick the next day But can't guarantee that it was this because she doesn't know what she ate or drank or what yeah So alright, so when's our next appointment other than the ultrasound? Tomorrow after the ultrasound tomorrow when's our next appointment? So it was me and a group of women going for IVF transfers in IVF cycles And it according to the one lady who has gone for transfers before She said it sounds like Monday would probably be the egg transfer Next Monday yeah a week from today. Yeah Okay, probably so we'll see for sure tomorrow. They'll look at my lining make sure it's good Make sure I don't need any extra drugs, and then we are set Okay, and then we're transferring a little five-day old embryo in there Let's come out quick. Yeah Okay One more week. Yeah, really nice place though if you ever need a Infusion or anything anything homeopathic go to via natural medicine here in St. Boniface It's really really nice really nice staff team to very clean so clean I was very impressed Got new covers for our chairs Stopped by Walmart on our way home Pick those up They're going to replace these covers. Hopefully they fit Hopefully they fit and if not then we'll bring it back Our trees have become home of the crows a whole murder of them Every day You know crows are very intelligent if I start feeding them they'll start befriending me But then they won't go away This is our project for this afternoon like I told you last week. We have to get rid of these two days No more redneck backyard for us. I said get rid of some of that old wood there to bring it all Bring it all the way Just swung by the shop here Say hello to old blue Pick up a few things Hey Show me your new track Very nice very nice old book Looking pretty Installed these the other day if you missed that video Minor detail, but it makes a big difference my next thing is I have new horns to put on here and I also have breather air cleaner lights which get attached to the top of this air cleaner here and Then they glow down and they make this whole thing Glow it'll be amber The previous owner had them already He just gave them to me with the truck now. These will be good eventually. What does this say dual function? I could make this into a signal as well. What do you guys think of that? I don't know if I like that idea. What do you guys think? I could hook it up to the signals and the marker lights so that going down like the road My air cleaners could flash like blinkers Like they'd be the marker lights just like everything else But when I turn my signals on it would be like these lights They'd get brighter, you know so that they would be signals I think it would look kind of silly kind of funny doing that But I'll get your opinions on it enough people think that it would look good I mean I could make my air cleaners flash along with my signals. I Think I'm just gonna leave them as marker lights, but Eventually we're changing out the amber anyways, I just got these ambers along with the truck So I may as well install them but eventually we're changing them to those those dual bulbs where When I flick that switch all my lights will go blue That's gonna be like a party trick when I go to a truck show It's gonna be real cool or when I park at the truck stop You know this nice W9 rolls in beside you and you're like wow nice truck and I'll be like All the lights will turn blue and everyone will be whoo Yeah, that's the It's the effect I'm going for everybody goes whoo Would you look at that? But We'll see we'll see Lots to do lots of lights to add to this thing yet Once we get these breather air lights in here making this glow So want the line of ambers up at the front and reds at the back. That'll be another thing I have these horns over here from mr. Bruce Kimmel. He said I could mention them Thank you very much. It's a host warming gift for old blue That's for the kids So when they give me the arm pump, I'm gonna deliver They're gonna remember me always raining. It's gonna be a rainforest soon Look at that a no old appliances we no longer look at that redneck just a little bit not not not a lot just a little bit At least we got those out of the yard now and Yeah, that's that So not too much of a vlog today, but the appointment went well for Brit today We've just been sitting at home watching some TV getting some stuff done tomorrow We have another ultrasound. She has another ultrasound appointment in Winnipeg, but I'm going with her too and Well, we do have some good news though I'll tell you inside with Brit they're gonna let me up in the room for the transfer Hopefully next week So I actually get to be there when our child is conceived like a normal husband Most husbands are there when their child is conceived in a different kind of way, but yeah This counts too That's her joke. She told me before I stole your joke I steal a lot of her jokes a lot of my jokes come from her Saying on the internet How did the appointment go you feeling good? Yeah, I feel fine Okay, so I told him you have another ultrasound in the morning And then they'll tell us then when the transfer will be I think so cool anyways, thanks for watching today everybody and We'll see you tomorrow. We might be heading out on the road tomorrow after the appointment. I don't have a load yet So we'll have to wait and see
