Shit they don’t tell you about bikini prep...
@theprophysiquecode Episode 2 is officially live!

Coach Kayleigh @cupcakemuscle and I discuss the stuff not many people glamorize about the sport - think of it as a “behind the scenes in the life of” 😏

Check it out to find out what Kayleigh had to do get her first ever bronze lady 😁💩

Hope you guys enjoy!

Like every other competitor this year, @britnyyy_ had to find ways to work through Covid situations…But on top of that she had to deal with other personal circumstances that she easily could have let stop her. Not once did she ever consider giving up (I wouldn’t have blamed her if she did). Instead, she looked at her goal of getting back on stage as her happy place, the one thing she was doing for herself that she wasn’t going to let anyone take from her.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Britny is not one who’s body responds easily, and for the majority of prep we had to grind very hard (but with refeeds and diet breaks of course). Cardio was high and calories got low. But not once did she complain to me or tell me she couldn’t do something. Every time I asked her to grind harder, she put her head down and got to work. Still, she told me this week this was the most enjoyable prep she’s ever had because of where she was at mentally, and the sport was her outlet.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
💫 She thrived in the grind 💫⁠⠀
⁠⠀
You have to be in the right place mentally if you’re going to succeed in this sport, and you have to know and really crave your “WHY”.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
So proud of what we were able to accomplish this season out of her 2 shows!⁠⠀
- First show she earned 3rd in true novice, 5th in novice, 5th in open.⁠⠀
- Second show she bumped up a couple placings (by dropping 2 more pounds in between) and earned 3rd in Novice & 4th in open.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
With this girl’s work ethic and passion, I can’t wait to take her through an improvement season and see where she’s at the next time she steps on stage 🖤❤️⁠⠀

“You are always either preparing or repairing. Y

“You are always either preparing or repairing. You’re either spending today preparing for your future tomorrow, or you’re spending today repairing what you did or didn’t do yesterday” - I don’t remember 😬

Photo was 5 weeks after my last show (July 2019), up about 5 pounds from stage weight. Post show emotional roller coaster can be brutal. But don’t spend today making decisions that you might feel the need to repair tomorrow. Focus on the things you can control, and don’t be ignorant to the scenarios that tempt you.

Happy 6 years to us 💕 This year looks a little

Happy 6 years to us 💕
This year looks a little bit different...usually we’re off traveling the world together. This year I’m on day 4 in bed with sore ovaries. #insicknessandinhealth
Happy Anniversary babe! 😁

Egg Retrieval Update: the procedure went well and

Egg Retrieval Update: the procedure went well and I’m home in bed, will likely be spending most of my time here for the next couple of days.

I just wanted to say thank you to all who commented on my last post. It was hard to reply to all of them without instagram deeming me as spam bot, blocking my activity. Know that I read every single one of them and your all’s love & prayers mean the world.

As of now I don’t plan to share the details on here of how many eggs & embryos we have at each step of the process. This part is extremely difficult while we have to sit and wait for a phone call each day for an update on how our embryos are doing. I plan to now keep our personal details a bit more private until it’s all said and done and I’m ready to share again. Please just continue to keep us in your prayers that that final number of CF free embryos is higher than last time. To see how this part went during the 1st round, see my prior post.

Right now I’m very uncomfortable and at times in a lot of pain. The best way to put it is that my ovaries are extremely swollen and tender, and are putting a lot of pressure on my insides. It’s like a constant menstrual cramp that doesn’t go away until you fall asleep. Getting in and out of bed is hard, walking is hard, and relieving my bladder is hard. But we’re hopeful my recovery will be a bit easier than last time, because I was on half the dosage of meds (which is what causes the swelling) and I started a new med earlier this week to help with the pain & swelling, now knowing that I’m more prone to OHSS (ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome).

The good news is once I fully recover from this my body will get a few weeks down time to recover with no meds/shots. We’re doing what’s called a FET - Frozen Embryo Transfer - due to first undergoing genetic testing. It’ll be several weeks from now before the transfer occurs. Those who chose to not go though GT have what’s called a “Fresh Transfer” when the embryos are 5-6 days old. Side note - transfer refers to when they place the embryo in the uterus, in hopes of it attaching (implanting) to the uterine wall, which is when pregnancy officially begins.

Last night we “pulled the trigger” as they like to call it in the IVF world. Which means we’re currently on the way to OKC & the egg retrieval is tomorrow morning. Continue reading for what happens next 👇🏼

The trigger shot as mentioned above is HCG, allowing the eggs to release.

Right now I’m a bit swollen, waddling like a duck, and am taking my physical activity lightly. I’m physically feeling exhausted and endlessly tired, but mentally I’m prepared and ready to just do this damn thing. I will be undergoing anesthesia, and the whole process will take around 30 min by the time I’m out 😴. What sucks is Kyle won’t be allowed in the building at all, thanks Covid 😒

So what happens next?
As soon as the doctor retrieves the eggs, the embryologist will immediately perform ICSI - which is where they inject 1 (single) of Kyle’s sperms, into each individual mature egg. Hence: fertilization. So, our children (God willing 🙏🏼) will technically be conceived tomorrow. Weird.

After that they will watch them in a lab for 5-6 days, and see how many of them will turn into actual embryos. 1 week from today those embryos will then have an individual cell taken from them, and the cells sent off for genetic testing. Side note - when a cell is taken from them, they’re breaking the outer wall of the embryo which is what increases the chances of identical twins 👯‍♀️ 👀.

The genetic test has been made specifically for Kyle & my DNA 🧬 , looking for the specific cystic fibrosis mutations that we are carriers of. It will take 2-3 weeks to get the results back.

Though I make a lot of eggs, the numbers will dwindle quickly. Here are the many steps and how it went last time 👉🏼
- 37 (roughly) eggs produced
- 24 eggs retrieved
- 21 were mature enough
- 12 fertilized
- 8 of the 12 embryos made it to day 6 & were sent off for testing
- 6 of those 8 had cystic fibrosis
- 1 of the 2 left had abnormal chromosomes
- 1 baby boy 💙 was healthy & CF free, which was the one we transferred in May, but it did not implant.

Thank you again for all of the love & prayers. Right now we specifically need prayers for the end result to have a higher number of embryos that are CF free 🙏🏼💕💙

We’re only a few days out from the next egg retr

We’re only a few days out from the next egg retrieval 🥚 . Exact day, still to be determined.

I have to see my fertility specialist daily now, so he can continue to check my hormone levels + the amount & size of the follicles, and then plan out what day will be best for the procedure.

This time around my med dosages are quite a bit less, because apparently my body is doing more on it’s own currently 🙏🏼.

I’m still experiencing some swelling and a good amount of discomfort in my lower abodominal, but it’s been a bit easier mentally this go around since I know what to expect. Plus, these belly shots feel like a damn breeze compared to the dreaded progesterone oil based shots that are intramuscular in the booty 😖 (these start when it’s time to do the transfer).

Last time I went through this part (in February) I went about 12 days in a row without a true workout, since I ended up experiencing what’s called OHSS. I’m hoping to handle things better this time and cut that amount in half 🤞🏼.

I was due for a leg day today, but my body is telling me no. So I swapped it and just finished a decent arm & shoulder workout. It wasn’t anything to brag about, but it was a lot better than laying on my couch feeling sorry for myself. Right now all I can do is focus on the things I can control and make the best of them.

Huge thank you for all of the love, prayers and support lately. The amount of messages I get from strangers telling me they’re legitimately praying for us warms my heart and it means so much 🤍🤗. #ivfgotthis
