Thank you so much, everyone for all your kind words of encouragement and love. It means SO SO much to me to have this kind of support! Thank you again! I love you! ❤️
I’m so sorry😔I know how tough and heartbreaking this is for you. The infertility journey is one I wouldn’t wish on anyone, but damn does it make us stronger!💗I know you’ve mentioned several times your stance on IVF.. but I want to tell you what I wish I would have heard in the low points of my own journey. Throughout the years that we struggled and saw negative tests year after year, I always said I’ll never do IVF. I felt the same way as you - it was just too much physically, emotionally, and financially. When we wound up with that being our only option, I told my husband and our RE let’s do it. Being told that was the only way I could have my baby it just clicked for me. And let me tell you, it was SO much easier than I thought it would be. I had all these anxieties in my head and everything turned out to be so much better than I thought it would. And easier. Something that helps is it flies by fast. Before you know it you’re done. My miracle IVF baby is now 6 months old and I would do it all again in a heartbeat. Regardless of what you decide is best for you and your family, you’re never alone and we’re always supporting you, cheering you on and sending the biggest hugs! 💗 take some time for yourself. I know in these moments you feel so broken but please know you’re not. You are stronger than you think. And you’ve got this💗💗
Oh Tiffanie my heart is so broken for you 💔 I can’t imagine what’s it’s like to be in your spot. The excitement of seeing the LH strips getting darker thinking that you will see a positive pregnancy test next and then seeing the LH strips getting lighter just broke my heart. I am just praying for you no matter what happens at the end but I’m praying that God just gives you peace and just know that none of this is your fault. You are an amazing woman and everything you said at the end when you were laying down was so true. Sometimes you don’t need anyone to give advice you just need someone to listen to how you truly feel. Just know I listened and I am praying for you. Tiffanie you are special and worthy. You have every right to feel the way you feel.
Thank you so much for sharing your journey. I know this is not easy, it's emotionally, physically, mentally draining. Please don't lose hope, that's literally all we have. YOU ARE NOT ALONE 🤍 I am on my 2nd round of IUI. First one failed and this one, I just don't think it worked either. I'm 12 days post IUI, blood work tomorrow but I feel zero symptoms and pregnancy tests are negative. 😭 I guess I shall find out tomorrow. Stay strong! You got this.
Keep going is all i can say to you. I had secondary infertility and for years n years me n my husband went to fertility doctors…did all the test….scans….surgeries….all of it, we were about to do ivf this august but we just fell pregnant…..and we have had 2 losses during all of this and this time….its for real!!!! We are at 21 weeks girl!!! If it’s your dream to have more kids never give up. Giving up something you want so much hurts more than not giving up. I just kept going. You are def not alone!!! Just keep going please if it’s in your heart no matter how hard it is. ❤ it will happen some way some how.
You are not alone💜 I’ve had 3 failed iuis these past 3 months after ttc for a year with 2 pregnancy losses along the way, watching your videos during these past few months seeing you go through what I am going through helped me and made me feel less alone. Thank you for that, I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers🙏🏻
I totally understand your emotion and you just want to give up we have been trying for 10 years I’m 36 and idk what to do anymore either , we can’t give up I know it’s hard on us mentally but we have to try to be positive ❤ with love I hope you get a second baby ❤🙏
Hi Michelle. Been following u ever since u started ur ttc for #2. I'm also going thru it. Been ttc for #2 for abt 2yrs. Having this secondary infertility really sucks. Not nowing why. But I've learned to let go and let god decide. Me n husband are still doing our usual whenever I ovulate, but I nvr do anything to increase my chances. It helps my me mentally also, not putting too much pressure. Just keep on believing that God has planned all of this, I might have my #2, or I might not, n that's okay. God loves me and my family, n wants what's best for us. So, that's what I always tell myself. I'm just gonna focus on what I have in front of me which is my husb n 6yr old daughter. ❤ stay strong Michelle! 💪
I’m so sorry. I can understand how going feel. There’s nothing anyone can say to make you feel better. I try to listen to “it’s going to be okay” “you got this” “be strong” but it’s not easy. After a year of trying and in the process with our fertility specialist we finally got a positive but same day of discovery we Soso found out we miscarried. So now we see in the process of IUI. We got this but cry and let it so out. Feel those emotions.
Oh Tiffanie I am so sorry. It’s hard to see you hurting so much but I know your story helps others to feel less alone. Please don’t give up and don’t stop sharing your life and love with us :) I don’t know if stories like this help or not, but I knew a couple once that tried for over ten years and were unable to conceive. They could not afford IVF so they gave up and pursued adoption. I babysat for their little girl from when she was about a year old. When she was about to turn 3, they told me one night after they got back from their date that they were expecting - and a little boy no less!! They absolutely had given up and were not trying intentionally at all anymore. I was so happy for them I cried! Not trying to say “let go and it will happen” or anything like that, because I don’t believe those sentiments are very supportive or helpful in times of struggle. But don’t lose your light of hope. For what it’s worth I’m a Labor & Delivery RN and I have had lots of formal and informal training on pregnancy and maternal health. And I think your doctor is probably onto something with the possibility of endometriosis or maybe endometritis. You can always continue searching for answers on those diagnoses while you wait to feel ready to try again ❤ All the love and support to you. You are a lovely person and your light shines in your videos!
I have been exactly where you are. Give yourself the grace and the love that you give to other people in your life who are going through the grief you are feeling. We can be so hard on ourselves yet love and encourage those around us. To give you the final word on my story, i tried for three years with IUI then IVF. We did not conceive and were broke. My doctor told me on a Tuesday ( months after IVF) i would never conceive. That coming Sunday I discovered i was pregnant. 8 1/2 months later i delivered a 9# 4oz baby boy 3 weeks early. He’s my miracle and my pride and joy. You will get yours too, never give up. Do something anything to relax your mind and body. It needs that to function well. Hugs from one woman to another
Oh no! So sorry! I know exactly how you feel! I had 6 back to back IUIs that were picture perfect and it didnt work. I moved on to IVF and had success right away!
Yeah I have been through 9 transfers 6 didn’t work at all 3 of them did but then I miscarried all 3 times. But now I’m at a new clinic with a whole new protocol and a new egg bank so hopefully it happens for me now and it happens for you as well. Good luck
I'm so sorry your IUI didn't work this time 💔I'm in a similar position - my 2nd IUI was supposed to be last week but unfortunately got canceled. I was absolutely crushed. It feels like every time it doesn't work out that all of our effort, time, energy, emotions, etc are all going to waste. None of this is fair and it just sucks sometimes. I'm cheering you on from afar and hoping you get some good news soon 🖤🖤
I’m so sorry that your IUI was canceled! I agree completely, it feels like what are we actually doing… praying for your journey to be so blessed! And thank you so much for your love ❤️ 🤍
Hey girlie I would try and test at the same time around 10-2pm with Lh that’s when the body usually releases any of those hormone triggers. Morning urines won’t show anything helpful and may throw your chart off
so as far as LH goes, it's best not to test early in the morning because the hormone builds throughout the day. That's likely why your tests later on were darker than your early morning ones. Also, I'm so sorry. I can't imagine how it must feel to struggle with conceiving. I know you feel weak, but you have incredible strength... women are warriors.
Wondfo is amazing! Their miu/mL is 10! The lowest on the market that’s confirmed. FRER won’t ever say what theirs is which is weird lol. But wondfo told me at 7/8dpo when everything else was negative as all get out .
I am so sorry love for this huge dissapointment! You mentioned that your doctor might be concerned that you have endometriosis-I can understand why, especially with the pain you are having in your cervix every time you have a IUI. It is NOT normal to have pain with this and should be a very easy painless procedure. I actually have never heard of anyone having this issue in their cervix unless there is a medical reason such as the endometriosis. Why couldn't you ask your doctor to do a laparascopic surgery to rule this out before even considering IVF. That way, if you do have it, the doctor can remove and endo scarring to give you a better chance of conceiving naturally. Just a thought. ❤
I feel all your emotions. We have secondary infertility too. 2 years ttc for another. 13 months on induction medication for super ovulation. 1 laparoscopic surgery to remove mild Endo. 2 HSG’s. 1 sonohystogram. 3 failed medicated iui’s. All fertility test and advanced fertility testing on both myself and my husband done. Still trying 😢 I feel hopeless, in a really dark place and can’t find the gumption to accept that I may not have another baby. I can’t talk about it out loud as I get facial remarks/opinions about being ungrateful for what we have. Any be on social media because it is too triggering. Seeing announcements and babies out in public make me numb and closed off. Also can’t afford IVF without going into major debt. We don’t have fertility coverage. My story and emotions could go on and on, but I am wishing you all the best friend 🤍
