A Katie Green led, One More Thing podcast.

What do you have for us, Katie?

Just a little update on my baby making process. I think I understand it. I don't want to put too fine a point on it, but there's the whole, there's a penis, there's a vagina. Oh, good Lord. You know, probably a little drinky poo, maybe a candle, some music. You have no idea how. Soutlety, you're excused. Yes? You have no idea how bad I wish that was how this was going. But that's not the way you're doing it. You're doing it out. No. For those of you that are just tuning in or don't know, I am going through infertility or IVF. And the reason being is because I have a hereditary kidney disease that I could pass along

to my child.

So we are doing genetic testing to ensure that I do not hand this delight right on down.

So we've gone through what's called an egg retrieval, actually two of them now, where they

go in and they take all of my eggs and they test them and biopsy them. And then what they do is they give me a report afterwards and let me know the quality of the embryos. Is everybody still with me? Yeah. It's a lot of science. The egg or the embryo? Which is the fertilized egg. What's amazing is that we actually don't have eggs to begin with. They're called follicles. And then once they mature, they become eggs. And they are nurturing these eggs until they become embryos. Once they are an embryo, they can genetically test that and find out what's going on.

How pleasant or unpleasant is all this, them gathering your eggs and everything like that?

Oh, this is bit, I'm going to say it.

This is, sorry, Hanson, this has been an absolute fuck shell.

This sucks.

This sucks.

So it's not, you know, I feel like this is presented kind of when they talk about it, you know, drive-by media style in the news. Like it's, you know, it's no big deal. But you're saying it's a really big deal. Well, and people, they, you know, the way people phrase everything, everybody calls this the journey. It's not a, it's not a journey. I mean,

if you want to call it that because it feels better, fine, but this is definitely, it's, it's a medical process. And just to, I mean, we're family here to be TMI. I have had three

times of the month this month. Whoa. Yeah. That's funny.

Whoa.

Yeah, I'm pretty over it at this point.
