Hi everyone! Thank you for visiting my channel. My name is Alysha and I am the proud mother of fraternal twin boys, Jacob and Elijah, conceived via IVF in 2018. I started this channel in April 2020 to share my story in the form of hope for anyone out there struggling with infertility. I truly believe that you will be a mommy or a daddy someday if you really want to be. Whether it's through fertility treatments, naturally, or adoption.
I had so much fun sharing my journey to motherhood that I didn't want to stop there. On my channel you will also find family vlogs, shopping hauls, twin survival guides, and hopefully get some inspiration from my cleaning, cooking, and organizational vlogs.
I would love if you stuck around and subscribed to my channel! Let's have some fun!
Awww, I love these family vlogs! It looks like they had such a great time! I totally get Elijah...I like farm animals, but the smell is not always pleasant.
After Lupron do you have bad headaches for years, bladder issues, poor bone mass, mood down, weak teeth issues 🦷 , bones 🦴 weakness thinning? How Lupron blockers effected your fertility in a long run?
I do wonder if the IVF medication’s put me into early perimenopause. I do have plans to do a video on that. I did hear that Lupron is used on people transitioning from male to female. It kills your testosterone, which is nuts to me. Stay tuned for a video that I will do on that in the near future.
Hi Alysha so glad you're back! I messaged you about 2 years ago when I was starting IVF and wanted to make videos like you. i have a son now all thanks to IVF! It took me 2 years but I finally made my first video! you're very inspiring, thank you!!
Hey Alysha! You look great! The boys have grown so much! It sounds like a lot of exciting things and changes happening in your family! Can’t wait to follow along? ❤
Welcome Back. You were missed very much.Thank you for sharing the family updates. I have thought of you often.I will remember your husband in my prayers. I hope he has a speedy recovery. Good luck on your new employment possibilities.
It’s so good to hear from you! I definitely missed you too. Thank you for putting Ian in your prayers. Everything will be fine, but a few extra prayers wouldn’t hurt. I’m glad to be back posting again. Definitely missed it.
Alyshaaaa, hey girl! I always love the little mothers day crafts the kids do, it's always so sweet! Their answers for you were so stinkin cute ❤ Loved hearing how different their personalities are! Will be praying for your husband and for your journey into finding work in the field you love ❤️
Seems you came to a great doctors just in time. As many tests to help and support in the IVF there are these days, the most important is that you and your husband have beautiful children by now! Congratulations! ❤
OMG...I cried watching ...pls help with d suppliments u were taking for egg quality ....and how many milligram of each of d injections were u taking during ur stimulation pls I beg u in d name of God pls help me
Oh you sound worried, I’m sorry. I took some drops of Vitamin D I got through my acupuncture clinic. It was so long ago that I don’t remember the dose, it was really high though. I would recommend taking a prenatal vitamin now (it has plenty of vitamin D), and getting lots of sunshine. Good luck on your journey to baby! Everything will be ok.
Thank you for sharing your story! This was helpful. I’ll be undergoing an FET for the first time this month and I’m excited (45 years old with normal AMH levels - surprisingly). Nervous that my doctor told me that he’ll be transferring two embryos! Crossing my fingers for success. I don’t care if both stick just want a healthy baby (or two) 😊
Hi 👋🏾. I did egg retrieval about a year or so after my myomectomy. However, a few fibroids did grow back. But it did not affect our successful transfer.
Hi! 👋🏾 I did a video on prepping for my FET that you can find under my IVF playlist. I really wanted to lose weight and change my diet, but I wasn’t successful with sticking to it. I did add and avoid some things though. Check out the video when you have time!
Glad you guys had a great Thanksgiving with family! Great job with painting the furniture ❤ Aw what a sweet family outing as well, the railway museum looks super cute
@@AlyshawithaY It was very nice, actually! Thank you for asking! Although, I’m so bored of traditional thanksgiving foods, so I didn’t enjoy the food very much 😂 but hanging out with family was fun!! 🥰 Gonna have to figure out a new menu for next year because the turkey-stuffing-mashed potato-corn-cranberry sauce thing is not it for me anymore!! Then, I usually do Mexican food at Christmas, but I think I’m going to stray from that this year and have some soul food for a change. So I’ll be looking forward to that. What are cooking for Christmas? 🎄
@@aliciarantz ooooh girl, that sounds amazing! Guess we’re coming to your house this year for Christmas! 🤣 I actually haven’t thought that far. Going to families for Christmas day. Ian usually makes scallop potatoes to bring along. I don’t cook that holiday. Christmas Eve we get together with a different side of the family and usually go out but we are thinking about hosting maybe a brunch? We haven’t completely thought it through yet. I hope you vlog your Christmas. Soul food sounds so good right now. I would love to see how you do it. 😋
You couldn't imagine how excited I am to see you all back.Thank you for sharing your thanksgiving,. Everything looks wonderful and delicious.My thanksgiving was good. My children came over and we had so much fun. It was a good day.Again thank you for a beautiful and fun video. Hope to see you all soon.
Ur story is inspiring to me. Always have hope. So much positivity here. My FET is due from past 3 years. Its all about our financial condition. We are unable to visit hospital. The charges are too high. 😭😭😭 hoping to see doctor and have healthy baby. Please pray for me ....please please need blessings. I am feeling low and depressed. Please pray for me to get pregnant with healthy baby. Prayers for me please please please
Thank you so much for sharing your story❤ I too have low amh and just turned 46😬 but i am trying to stay positive even though the odds against me. I start ivf treatments next month. Wishing everyone a successful journey!
Alyshaaaa, I've missed you!! It's insane how much groceries costs these days. That sucks that you gotta still go back to the grocery store another day in the week after getting all of that. The harry potter pjs oml 😍😅
Hey Rachel! 👋🏾 I’ve been ok not going to the grocery store so far, but will likely by this weekend. Yes, prices are nuts! The jammers are super comfortable!
I thought you were using your camera. You must have an amazing phone. Welcome back. It’s good to see you and the family. I love a good haul. One of my favorite kind of videos. Since the weather is turning I have been looking for lounging dresses for in the house. The stores don’t have any but online the prices are crazy. It’s very good to see you all back. See you next video.
Hi 👋🏾! Oh that’s good to know that you couldn’t tell the difference. I think I’m gonna hold off until Christmas time to get a new camera. In the meantime, I’m due for an iPhone upgrade, so I’m going to just Vlog using my phone camera. Thanks for watching, I love hauls too. More to come. I got this black cotton lounge dress from Costco and I wore it out. I was hoping they had more, but couldn’t find any. It was great to see your comment and I hope you’re doing wonderful.
@@AlyshawithaY I'm okay.Thanks for asking. Let me know if you like your new detergent. We have been keeping close eyes on targets detergent sales . You buy a certain amount of fabric care or detergent and get a gift card. That has been a great way to get gift cards for future detergent purchases.I love the tide with bleach.I really like that about target. them running sales on different things and offering gift cards. I think its a great idea to keep videoing on your phone until Christmas. Your phone does a great job.
Happy Tuesday! Let me know if you can tell that I used my iPhone and not my camera in this video. I still haven’t gotten a camera to replace my broken one :(. Glad you’re here! Be sure to say hi!
I just found your video and found it super relatable and it made me hopeful. I was curious if you did PGT testing on the embryos? I am 40 and about to start my second cycle of IVF retrieval and debating wether or not to test them.
I’m glad you’re here! Good luck with your 2nd retrieval. I hope your first round was successful. We did not test our embryos. I did a video on why we chose not to. You can find it under my IVF playlist.
Hi.. m almost 42 n I did my ivf in 2018 n got 7 eggs n only one made it to A grade embryo n went for ohs testing n came back with chromosomal anyployde … n we decided not to go for transfer … so a year later went for another ivf n got 2 eggs n all went in vain .. so can I ask why did you want to go for pgs testing … now m considering going for ivf . Last chance..I have multiple fibroids.. should I remove them .. pray that I get pregnant .. thanksb
I am sorry this has been a tough road for you. I had assumed that PGT would be highly recommended by our clinic, but it wasn’t for our situation. My doctor suggested a myomectomy which I did. However, a few fibroids did grow back. But they did not interfere with transfer. That is something that you need to discuss with your doctor. I cannot give you the answer for that. I really hope your next round works out and that you get pregnant and have a healthy baby.
