I totally respect your desire to probably not tell people right away when you first get pregnant and just keep that to yourself whenever it happens until you're good and ready to share that news with people-I think that's perfectly reasonable and makes perfect sense!. 🙂💖 Just know, for what it's worth, we're here cheering you on!😊
I second this comment! My mom didn’t even tell her mother that she was pregnant until she was past the first trimester with my older sister! And they talked everyday! It’s every persons right to choose however public or private they keep a pregnancy. I’ve seen people announce at eight weeks and people announce at twenty, and there’s no reason to suppose that sharing an infertility journey on a public platform immediately gives the audience the right to the knowledge of a pregnancy.
I may not have experienced this but as mentioned in the last video my sister did IUI’s and years of infertility (male side infertility as well), it’s such an exhausting process for both people but especially the woman in this situation. The shots, the side effects, the ups and downs along with the knowledge that it may end up as a negative result. It’s very taxing so please take care of yourself when you can ♥️ even on hard days, just remember that you got this
Wow! 13 embryos is amazing!! I’m so happy for you! And how exciting that you were able to get some embryos with Haden’s material. That is such wonderful news. Congratulations on a successful retrieval 😀
Sending the best and positive thoughts your way. I passed through this last year and hopefully my baby will be born this December 🥹🤍 PCOS mama here. I started following you because I’m a book lover, but I’m so happy you can share this part of your life and show that infertility can happen to anyone but it doesn’t have to define you. 🤍 love your channel, please don’t feel pressured to post as much, we are your ride or dies here 🫶🏻
Chandler just take the time it takes to go through this. Don't worry about uploading! I have endo so the bloating I feel so you hard its so uncomfortable. Glad your babies are helping ❤❤
You should not feel scared to be judged, it’s okay to want to expect the best of an outcome, of course you want the highest chances. Yes not everyone is lucky but that doesn’t mean you don’t deserve to be or wish to be ❤️
I don't think I'm personally going to create life but I really appreciate seeing this process so I can understand a bit more of what my loved ones might be going through 💕💕
I’ve never watched an IVF journey even though I do follow people who have done it, but never did I realize how much you go through! Just shots after shots. As someone who can feel when I ovulate, the egg retrieval process sound horrific. But really I’m here to say, it’s okay to be hopeful. Don’t beat yourself up for wanting more, I know you’re worried about being let down but you don’t need the extra guilt of being too happy or hopeful. I love watching you, and I’m am rooting for you every step of the way!
thanks so much! and omg haha i can feel when i ovulate as well. but with the egg retrieval you're under anesthesia almost exactly at the moment you're ovulating so nothing to feel :) science is weird lol
I never went through IVF so I don’t know exactly what you’re dealing with but I dealt with infertility and losses for years so do know how it feels to want a baby so badly and not know if it will ever happen. I’m sending all the good vibes for when you do your transfer.
I went through 2 egg retrievals and three embryo transfers over 2.5 years before we had success. It is a hard process mentally, physically, and emotionally. People will say stupid things to you ('just relax', 'have you thought about adoption'), you will be frustrated, you will be heart broken, and my advice is to just take each day at a time. Lean on your partner and know it's temporary. And not to scare you but the retrieval injections are cake compared to the progesterone in oil (PIO) you have to do for the transfer. It's rough, my husband had to do all of them. If you're lucky though and it works, you have to continue the injection until 10-12 weeks pregnancy (assuming a fully medicated FET), but you'll find you don't mind them so much when you know they are supporting the pregnancy.
Sending you lots of good vibes and luck! ❤ I’m currently 22 weeks pregnant of my little boy after an ectopic pregnancy which took a long time to resolve. I know conceiving can be tricky and hard. You got this!
chandler, this vlog was SO helpful. i am starting my shots this week or next week (doing ivf for purposes of pgt-m) and i was searching all over for vlogs like this. i am so so happy everything worked out so well. i am pretty scared, but this helped.
you've got this! fear of the unknown is absolutely the worst part. once you do your first injection, you'll wonder what you freaked out about in the first place! sending you hugs
Thank you for sharing this! It's nice being able to see the process. I'm looking forward to the next vlog! I'm so excited for you guys and hope everything goes smoothly!
Thank you so much for the video! My husband and I just started TTC naturally this month. I had sushi with my mom yesterday since I may not get to eat sashimi soon! 🍣
This was really interesting to watch, thanks for taking us along with you, I remember seeing this on your instagram stories. Don't worry about your upload schedule, you've got a lot going on atm! I'm also a heating pad girly (endometriosis), I also have a mini TENS machine which I use often! Hope you and Hayden are looking after yourselves 👍🏻
but it was infant leukemia and he was part of a clinical trial that helped set the standard for treating that specific cancer :) i think he was patient 2 or 3. and that treatment brought the survival rate way up!
i'm so excited for u both and sending u lots of love 🥹 and echoing what someone else said but take as much time off as you want/need, whenever you want/need it, even if posting is inconsistent!! we're not going anywhere
