[MUSIC] O.K. [CLAPPING] Bye bye! [MUSIC PLAYING] It’s always interesting to see a picture of yourself. Yourself. Yes, yeah. [APPLAUSE] Once again, you can see that effect. The pregnancy rate among surrogates was almost 80%, higher than any other group. So you’ll work with many people that want to use their own uterus, and I’m fine with that. Thank you. Oh, you’re welcome. Thanks for coming. These are beautiful. Thank you. [MUSIC PLAYING] O.K. How are you? Good. How are you? Nice to see you. Yes. How are you feeling? Everything is good. You excited about starting your cycle? Yes, cycle. Well, I hope you make a lot of eggs, and I hope they’re beautiful eggs. O.K. In the left ovary, you have one, two, three, four, five follicles. And now we’ll look at the right side. There’s really just one. O.K. Any questions that you have for me? No since I believe you. [LAUGHING] All right. Well, I’m really looking forward to working with you. Thank you. Good luck this cycle. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Can you take a picture with me? Sure. Oh, thank you. [CHUCKLES] We’ve had a tremendous increase in Chinese patients over the last year and a half. Just this morning, I had a fertility drug representative in, and she said, wow, this is amazing. You guys take care of more Chinese patients than anybody else on the west coast. And I don’t know if that’s true, but patients came, patients that shouldn’t get pregnant became pregnant. And then they began discussing us in Chinese social media. And so now, we’re extremely well-known there. And so we get a large number of patients, and many of them are doing surrogacy. [MUSIC] So easy! Why can’t I see you? I can see both of you guys. Still nothing, Kelsee. So, well, I know that you liked Kelsee’s profile when you had seen it recently, and Vicki shared it with you and that you wanted to meet her, and she wanted to meet you. Well, I have three children. I have two boys and a little girl. They are six, three, and two. They are my world. I’m a full-time mom. I work full-time as well. I have a boyfriend, and we’ve been together over a year now. He’s amazing. He’s very supportive. I have family in Iowa and in California. O.K., Kelsee. Can you hold on one second? Let me translate this to them. O.K. I started looking into surrogacy about probably four years ago. I wanted to be done having my kids. I’ve always wanted kids early on. So I had my kids, and I’m still young enough. And I don’t want anymore of my own, so I can help other people out. So it’s kind of something I’ve always wanted to do. I’m really excited about it. Are you ready to get started right away, because they are ready to get started right away? So– Yeah. If you all proceed together, you’re ready to go? Yes. [MUSIC PLAYING] Say hi to the camera, Kelsee. [LAUGHS] Why are you being weird? Say hi to the camera. I’m not saying hi to the camera. Why? It’s recording. Say hi. Hi. What’s your name? Kaden. What’s your name? Cain. Mom, let me see him. Baby, baby. Hold on. Let me get the– so this is the new shot we’re doing. We watched a couple different YouTube videos. 0.2 cc.” O.K. Mom. [CHUCKLES] Yes, Cain? I need you. Mommy. Are you being bad, buddy? I’ll tell you something. What do you need to tell me? - [INAUDIBLE] O.K., let’s go to bed. Mom, I want popcorn. We’re not doing popcorn. We’re going night-night. O.K.? Come on. Can we have a popsicle? You guys can have popsicles tomorrow. O.K.? Good night. Ah. [MUSIC] O.K., so this is my first time doing this. I got a call from the fertility clinic that [INAUDIBLE], Cathy, and Michael are going through. They got my blood work in, and they have to change all my medications, kind of start from scratch. My body’s not doing what it’s supposed to do. What? How are you feeling? Tired. That’s it? Sore? How’s the medications going? Good. Weird? Yes. Maddie’s like, what is going on? This is Kelsee getting her shot. [CAMERA SHUTTER] [MUSIC] One? One. You have three kids, huh? Mm-hm. How old are they? Six, three, and almost two. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. So congratulations, you have a fantastic chance of success. I love you. I love you. Are you comfortable? Mm-hm. He said it’s like a 70% to 80% chance. That’s what he says. [MUSIC] - [INAUDIBLE] Wow. Seven. Seven. Seven. Hi. Hi. How are you? Hi, Kelsee! Ah, Kelsee! How are you guys? Good, and how are you? Good. I’m glad to see you. [INAUDIBLE] baby. Yep, in there. The heartbeat is– Oh. Oh, yes. [INAUDIBLE] That’s my best friend, Emily. Your friend? Yeah, my best friend. Oh. Hi. Nice to meet you. Are you hungry? No, I can’t eat. They won’t let me eat. So they said maybe, hopefully tomorrow morning. Tomorrow morning, yes. O.K. Your freedom? Your freedom. Yes. It’s O.K. I’ve enjoyed it. I’ve had a very, very easy pregnancy, so– Oh, very easy? Yeah, it’s been very nice. Oh, [INAUDIBLE]. Very nice. Yeah. It’s been smooth. It’s been– I’ve been tired, but that’s about it. You are so young, are so young. [INAUDIBLE] [MACHINE BEEPING] Mm. I don’t remember what it was for. What did? My cervix was closing. Yeah, take some deep breaths in and out. We have a bag if you need it. You want to see the baby? Seven, eight, nine– Oh. –10. [LAUGHING] Can I push again? Yep, go ahead. - [INAUDIBLE] Oh, baby. You’re having these little moments where you’re doing a little bit more and it’s going forward. That’s the one you’ve got to hold at 10 seconds. O.K. Doing O.K., Kelsee? Wow. - [INAUDIBLE] Oh, baby. Yeah, push. Oh baby. 11. Very good. Oh, baby. Good girl. There he is. [BABY CRYING] [INAUDIBLE] Kelsee [INAUDIBLE]. [CRYING] Oh, he looks so good. You doing O.K.? Oh, good. [BABY CRYING] That cry’s universal, isn’t it? Yep. No language translation needed. [INAUDIBLE] on the table. Thank you. [INAUDIBLE]. One, two, three, four, five. No six. [LAUGHING] He has so much hair. Unbutton. Unbutton and put baby right here. O.K. Oh, oh, oh. He’s cute. [BABY CRYING] If you want, you can [INAUDIBLE]. You did so good. I’m trying to put my hand between the placenta and the uterus. That’s a plane. I’m having a hard time finding the plane on this one side. That makes me wonder if it’s gone into your uterus a little bit here. You’re at a very serious risk for bleeding, so I don’t want to be too cavalier about it here. I’ll call in soon and have him come check it out too. Can stay here? Oh. Probably doesn’t help that we were trying to plan a wedding in the middle of it too. [INAUDIBLE] even think about the wedding and moving. Oh. Kelsee-Mom. Look at Kelsee-Mom. You’re just so content.
