Trying To Get Pregnant | Cycle Vlog + LIVE Pregnancy Test! 

Oh my heart broke in two when she said it was negative. I felt that in my soul. I’m so sorry 💔 keep your hopes high!

This was the most real, vulnerable and raw video you’ve ever posted. As someone who’s been watching you for over 10 years now I appreciate that so much. I’d love for you to keep us updated on your journey! I’m sure for all those going through infertility the fact that they’re not alone is reassuring and comforting. We’re all here supporting you and sending you warm wishes throughout this journey! Much love

i think it's so admirable that you're sharing this with your audience, this is something we need to be talking about more i'm thinking of you and wishing for a positive next cycle!!!

These videos are SO IMPORTANT. The infertility journey can be extremely lonely and women like you who are brave enough to share their story can make others feel less alone. You are a light in this scary world. Praying for you and Alex!

Oh Elle..... you’re so brave to do this. Normalising fertility struggles is something that’s so important and so common. My mum had three miscarriages before she had me. I feel so privileged to be a part of this Journey. All my love XX

wow this is such a side we've never seen Elle (and that's coming from someone who has been following you for 10+ years). So raw and real. I know this must not be easy for you but thank you for letting everyone in on your journey and just know you are not alone. It does not have to be a lonely journey for you! And when you do get pregnant, there's going to be thousands of people who are extremely overjoyed for you and Alex knowing how much you went through. Love you always, stay strong .

I can’t imagine how difficult this was to share, especially considering the current global situation and the negative backlash you might receive, but I think stories like this don’t get shared often enough. Thank you for posting this snapshot of something so many choose to keep private

For whatever reason it’s always the women who get things checked out. It is SO important for your partner to get checked as well.

Don’t give up Elle! I personally love watching your journey so if you want to keep showing us please do. Thinking of you all ❤️

Stay encouraged Elle! I know it’s easier said than done but know you sweet new bundle of joy is coming!

This made me cry for you. You were really brave to share this and i think it’s extremely helpful to all the women out there going through the same thing ❤️

Hang in there 💗 I know that disappointment all too well. We conceived #1 so quickly and #2 was finally conceived on cycle 14! We didn’t opt for any treatment it just happened. I will be crossing everything for you guys for next month!! 🤞🤞 thanks for sharing your journey. ❤️ sending love from the UK 🇬🇧 xx

I can only imagine how difficult all this was to share, but I think it’s amazing that you are you are so strong and I’m so grateful for you taking us on this journey with you.

As a slightly younger long-time subscriber (I’m 25) I really love this type of content. I know it can’t be easy to share, but it’s so appreciated. You’re doing such a big thing by showing women and girls the struggles we might face in marriage/having kids and you handle it with so much grace and patience. Keep killing it, Elle!

I can't imagine how difficult this is, or even sharing this. So many women are going through what you're going through. Sharing your story always helps someone else. Don't give up! Your 2nd baby will come!! ❤️Thinking of yall! ❤️

Also, have your hubby checked. We found out my husband has motility issues that we didn’t know about bc we got pregnant easily with our 8 year old!

aww, the ending broke my heart. i’m so sorry. i’m literally in the SAME spot as you right now. we have an almost four year old, zero issues conceiving. we’ve been trying for thirteen months and nothing yet. we just had our first fertility appointment on monday. i’ll be starting clomid or femara with my next cycle. i hate that you’re going through this but i love watching your journey and knowing i’m not alone.

I just want to thank you for being open, vulnerable, and brave enough to share this, Elle. 💗

Theres a book called “it starts with the egg” and I’ve seen a lot of successful stories from woman who experienced second infertility from following the plans and ended up conceiving naturally and having a healthy baby. They said the only thing they changed was following the plans. I am praying for you and your family. My heart broke at the end of this video. Love you! ❤️

My heart broke when you said it was negative. You are so brave for sharing your journey this cycle. So many women are going to find this video relatable and it will help with loneliness. Love you Elle! I will pray for you!

Both my kids are clomid babies! Dont give up, stay positive and miracles happen! Just stay hopeful, believe your body can do this! I bet it will happen! Love from California

Sending love!! Thank you for sharing. I’m sure this will help so many people 💖

This makes me so sad but you’re story is seriously going to help so many women. Hang in there!

Thank you for being so vulnerable and open and bringing us along for this journey with you, Elle. As painful as it is sometimes, you remain so strong. I will continue to pray that you’ll be blessed with more little ones. 💙

Bless you Elle for sharing this. My heart broke for you at the end there. I’m not trying to conceive or anything but I know so many people out there will be and will be feeling all those feelings you are of hope and disappointment etc and I think sharing this (and possible future cycles) is a way not only to help yourself feel less lonely in the process as you said, but a way to help others too. X

I appreciate your honestly and showing this part of your life. Thank you for putting this video up. I can’t imagine what you’re going through, but I 100% am here for you and your journey. Thank you Elle.

This must be so hard to share your journey, especially towards the end of the video. If you feel comfortable, I would like another video. But I totally understand if not. ❤️

Elle, you are so strong and brave. Thank you for sharing this with us and please know that although it feels like a lonely process, you are NOT alone. So many women are going through this process and seeing your journey is a help and a comfort to them. Thank you again for your strength and grace. Your baby is coming and I will have you in my heart and my prayers until you can hold him or her in your arms.

Hey girl I just went through all of this testing. I too have a little one and have been having difficulty conceiving a second. I sent you a dm on IG. Feel free to reach out. I know exactly how you are feeling. Btw buy the pregmate hcg test strips on amazon they are more sensitive than the first response. I even found the clear blue to be more sensitive than the first response too! On the amazon ones you can get a positive as early as 9dpo! They are also so cheap and you get like 50 in a box!

Thank you for being brave enough to share this, I can't imagine the number of women this helps to not feel so alone. Wishing you all the best and sending all the prayers for your journey next month ❤️

Oh Elle. My heart just hurts for you. Sending you lots of good vibes during your journey 💕

Oh, I just want to give you the biggest hug. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing the process even though I’m sure it must’ve been difficult to post. You are definitely helping many people feel less alone. Sending so much love. ❤️

Yes of course we want to see these videos!!!! I’ve been watching you for over ten years now.. I feel like I’ve been on this journey with you. I teared up when I saw how heartbroken you were at the end. My sister tried to get pregnant for three years and I know how hard it is emotionally. Don’t worry Elle, it’s going to happen for you.💜💜💜💜

I know how difficult this is. I’ve been watching you for 10+ years so I’ve grown up with you. My husband and I are now trying for our second child as well and have been for going on four years. We are here with you and I can’t tell you how much it helps to know you aren’t alone.

So weird, I had a dream last week about you being pregnant. Sending you and your family positive thoughts!

I love you Elle! Please let yourself feel all your emotions. I’m sending you a huge comfort hug! I’ll be praying for you. Your baby will come!!💕

Seeing you get that result definitely broke my heart a little. You're amazing Elle! It will come when it's meant to be❤❤❤

Oh Elle. Keep trying. I know people who try for many years until it finally happens. That may sound daunting but it just proves there is hope. We all LOVE watching these videos. Please do keep vlogging this journey! We feel the emotions and are right there with you. You’re not going through this alone ❤️

My heart broke at the end :/ Hang in there and know you aren't alone! We are doing IVF next month after 5 years of infertility and 1 misscarriage. It's the hardest thing ever and nothing anyone says really helps. I enjoy watching this and would love to see more videos on your journey.

Thank you so much for being so brave and so kind in sharing your experience with us. I've lost a Baby a year ago and haven't been able to get pregnant ever since. It does feel lonely and disheartening at times and the fellowship you're creating by being so open and vulnerable here on your platform and enabling women to come together and share their stories is heartwarming and it does help a lot. In a way through our grief and our hope we are somehow connected and very much in this together. warm hugs from Germany!

Hi Elle! My heart goes out to you! Just remain positive and it will happen. My husband and I have been trying for 7 years now, we are diagnosed with Unexplained Infertility - we've done lots and lots of test, undergone 2 IUIs, 2 IVFs, still no baby. But we are always hopeful and we will never EVER give up! Baby dust to us! I will be praying for you too.

My heart shattered at the end (even though I couldn’t stand the wait and looked at the comments early). Please keep vlogging this. Even though I’m not going through the same thing at all (not even trying to get pregnant) I am a huge fan of yours and want you to have this baby so bad! Please know I’m praying for you.

Hang in there, Elle. There are many of us who know what this feels like. Thank you for sharing your journey and helping normalize this. You’re not alone. Sending love ❤️

Thank you for letting us in on this very personal portion of your life. I think it's important to share this type of content because I know nothing about this and it's much better for me and others to understand what our friends who are having trouble getting pregnant are going through. Hang in there, Elle. We love you.

Elle, don’t worry. Pls pls pls take care. Everything will be fine.

Please continue to share your journey, this is a reality that doesn’t get talked about enough! My heart sank for you when you looked at the test and your face said it was negative before you even vocalized it. I really appreciate you sharing your raw emotions!

I had my daughter 11 years ago and we have never been able to conceive since, at this point we are too exhausted and have stopped trying. We are incredibly blessed with our daughter. I’m so happy to hear that everything is looking good, praying for you guys 💜💜

Elle you are so strong to share this! You're shedding light on a difficult situation for many woman. Just remember that you are not alone!!

Elle, I was diagnosed with secondary infertility after over a year of trying in my mid 30s. This is my first time sharing my story publicly. But i want you and any other mamas who need to hear it to know my story. My hormone levels were not normal indicating that my egg reserve was low. I was told that I would have a 10% chance of conceiving naturally. More tests were run and it was confirmed my egg reserve was low and I would not be a strong candidate for IVF. We decided to try two more cycles naturally with the fertility doctor monitoring us before exploring what other options we had. The next step in the plan was Clomid. The first natural cycle the pregnancy test was negative. Now on the midst of all of this I was told by a teacher of my first son about a shrine in St. Augustine, Florida where women will pilgrimage to when experiencing infertility. It is called Our Lady of La Leche. It’s the most beautiful shrine in a peaceful setting. We were told so many stories women who had been dealing with infertility for years reporting pregnancies sometimes as early as one month after visiting the shrine and praying there. So we did go there and the first time we went the shrine was closed to the public due to hurricane damage. This shortly after was when we started all the testing with the fertility doctor. We went back after that and it was open. There are a few places in my life that I connect to in a way that moves me to tears when I visit. This is one of those places. I purchased a candle and I lit it and said prayers. The following cycle we had a yolk sac. 4-5 ultrasounds later we still had not heard a heartbeat. The day after Christmas that year we were told that the yolk sac had failed to mature and was now being reabsorbed by my body. We saw on the ultrasound that the yolk sac was misshapen and there was no heartbeat. I was asked if I had ever experienced pregnancy loss before and I was so numb and in shock I didn’t know what to say. I hadn’t though. The doctor pulled out the prescription pad and told me I had three options. They would either prescribe me a pill, schedule me for a procedure or I could let my body do what it needed to naturally. They said some women didn’t feel right knowing they were carrying something that would never be a baby so they could take the pill the same day. I was overwhelmed and I asked if for the time being if I could just wait to let my body do what it needed to. They scheduled to see me two weeks later because if my body hadn’t done what it needed to I would be scheduled for a procedure. More tests were done to monitor the decrease in my HCG levels as a result of the loss. In that time the grief I experienced was indescribable and immense. I found myself laying in bed staring at the wall feeling so empty inside and anxiously awaiting what it would feel like when everything did happen. By the time we got to my next appointment nothing had happened so they needed to do another ultrasound. I was laying there and the doctor kept saying that’s strange. My husband looked at the screen with her. We had a heartbeat. We also had a large blood clot. The blood clot was so large that it had obstructed the yolk sac and made it look like it was deformed and there was no heartbeat, and here we were with a beating heart. I cried a lot of tears. That healthy amazing miracle baby will be two in August. I am so glad I didn’t give up on our journey. And since then we regularly go back to that miracle shrine. I have met so many other moms with incredible stories. We cry together. We meet one another’s babies. We realize the power of prayer is very real. Good luck to you, Elle. I know this journey can be exhausting, frustrating, devastating and grueling. I will be sending positive vibes your way.

Please keep sharing your journey. So many women struggle with conceiving and I think it helps us knowing we aren’t alone.

Oh Elle, I had everything crossed for you when you did that test. I had the same issue as you, first born super easy!! The second took some serious work. You’ll get there Elle, I know it’s easier said than done but stress is such a disease to the body so try and relax as much as you can. Sending all positive vibes and well wishes your way ♥️ x

Why do we automatically think woman is the issue? Both parties need to be checked out

It’s so hard going each month with a negative test!! With our first baby it only took a few tries but with our second baby it took almost 2 years ! Hopefully that may give you some hope 💕

As a woman with no plan to get pregnant any time soon I am rooting so hard for you right now! You’re so brave for sharing your journey with the world and I know I for one will be tuning in to see how things go if you choose to post more updates, but I totally respect your privacy if you choose not to. 💕

Elle!! I’m wishing you so much love & prayer. I think it’s so beautiful you’re sharing your journey. I know so many women will benefit and not feel alone from this. I just wish I could have given you a great big hug in that last clip. I’m sending you positive energy & all the affirmations that this baby will come to you at the right time very soon! Xos

You are so brave, Elle! I’m hoping everyone gives you love and support on here, but even if there is negative I hope you can drown it out knowing that you’re definitely helping other women by talking so openly about your journey. ❤️❤️❤️

I’m 15 weeks pregnant today and just started crying when you’re voice broke at the end. I struggled with infertility for 3 years after my first was born, I found out in March I have Graves’ disease. I started my meds and a month later we find out we’re pregnant. I have been horribly sick, but I have such a loving husband he helps me with so much.

I applaud you for being so vulnerable. I bet there are people out there is the same situation that needed to see this. Thank you for sharing your story. Im a firm believer in everything works out like its supposed to and i just know when the time is right you will get your baby. Sending lots of love!

I'm so sorry if this is invasive and please ignore if it is but has Alex gotten tested? I feel for you, Elle, I hope things work out for you!! ♥️

Sweet Elle, I am so sorry you are dealing with this struggle. You have always been my favorite youtuber. You are so beautiful inside and out. Have faith and know we are all rooting for you. You deserve nothing but happiness. Your time will come. ❤❤❤

I just got pregnant on clomid 😊 I was also already ovulating on my own, but it helped mature my eggs. It took us 2 rounds.

I know how you feel Elle . It took me year & half to have my second child it was hard but at the end I just pray and left it in his hands ❤️ few months later I found out I was pregnant & now she is 2 yrs old she is the best second gift God gave me .

We’ve been trying for our first for over a year now and if by the end of the summer we haven’t conceived we are going to start going through testing. I feel your pain, thank you so much for sharing and making me feel less alone ❤️

We went through fertility clinic for over two years before we conceived baby #1 naturally.. we tried so many things and also almost started ivf. Currently 31 weeks pregnant:)

Oh Elle, I wanted to hug you through the screen. Its amazing that you share your journey on here, I'm sure many women in similar situations feel less alone. Wishing you all of the luck for baby number 2! ✨

This is absolutely brave and encouraging. Thank you for doing this for those of us who are struggling with the same thing right now. We’re all in this together. Sending love!!

I don’t comment a whole lot but I’m really compelled to say a couple things.. First my most genuine and sincere apology at true negative test result. I was at the edge of my seat biting my nails while praying that it be positive - and I’m not a nail biter at all so I was very vested in this test ❤️ and hopeful, The second thing is that it’s EXTREMELY impressive how much you have learned about the fertility process and how articulate you convey the information. I have a feeling that you are helping a lot of women who are on their own journey. I don’t recall hearing that your husband was tested for any issues on his side? If you feel comfortable sharing I think that would be helpful as well. Love, thoughts and prayers to you sweet little family ❤️

Thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing with us. I know this isn’t easy for you at all. My heart is with you.

Putting you in my prayers, Elle. “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, or the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you” - Deuteronomy 31:6

You are THE bravest person for doing this and sharing this! Giving others hope, I'm praying for you and your beautiful family

I’ve been watching your videos since your college days and completely love and support you. Seeing you be so open about this is so moving and strong. Thank you for sharing you journey. I hope you continue to do so, but I also understand if you decide not to. I wish you and your family all the health and success; both in your fertility journey and during this pandemic. 💗😊🤞🏻

If you're comfortable, please continue sharing your journey. I've chosen not to have children, but several people close to me are going through the same process you are and your candor is helping me better understand their feelings and find ways to support them. I can only imagine how hard it is share and be vulnerable; please know how much it means to others who are also feeling alone.

Elle, i love you so much! You have always been a sweet light in my subscriptions for YEARS. Thank you for sharing this journey with us. It is so important to show the realities that women go through when trying to conceive. This must have been difficult to share but I know you’re making a difference by being so real and honest. Sending you all the love! P.s. watch Leighannsays if you don’t already, she’s currently on an IVF journey and she’s also a positive person!!

Thank you for being soooo vulnerable and open and honest in this video. If I could hug you I would. May all your dreams of a huge family come true.

Vasseurbeauty swears by the book called "It starts with the egg" when she had diffuculties getting pregnant with her second baby. She's now due in two months. 👏 It will happen for you to. Off course it will! 💞

Sending you so much love, Elle! I realize this must be difficult, but I do think it’s so valuable to share these things. Thank you for being so open, honest and raw.

❤️❤️ As someone who also suffered secondary infertility I feel your pain. I am heartbroken with you. Go give baby James the biggest hug and kiss. It always helped me to cuddle my son after another negative test. It’s hard but try to believe everything happens for a reason. I tell myself that for some reason god knows my son just needs to be an only child a little while longer and my time will come again.❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for sharing this part of your life with us! So many of us have gone through or continue to go through this thinking we’re alone. You’ve got all of my positive vibes coming your way, babe. ❤️

Elle I've been watching you on and off since I was 13 and now I'm 22, this was so heartbreaking to watch :( sending prayers and love to you and your family

Thank you so much for being brave enough to share such a personal subject. Please keep sharing your journey. RU-vid is filled with positive pregnancy test reactions. Showing the realities of infertility is so important too. Many people have walked in your shoes. Sending you peace and baby dust.

I’m so sorry, Elle. My husband and I are TTC baby #2, as well. We suffered a missed miscarriage in March and have not conceived again yet. I truly understand the pure disappointment and sadness that comes with seeing a negative month after month. You’re in my prayers. ❤️

Oh Elle, it's okay. Don't give up. God is here for you. Sending positive vibes your way. 💜💗💙

I’m sitting here crying for you. My heart broke when you said it was negative. I’m so invested into your journey now and I hope you will continue to share your wonderful story.

Sending you light and love, Elle. Thank-you for bringing us along on this journey, I'm sure you are helping more people than you realize. I hope cycle 14 is the one for you!

My heart broke for you 💔 I’ve been there and I remember it so clearly, sending lots of love to you and your sweet family xxx

Elle, I know I'm watching this months after you filmed it, but I was with you every step of your journey. I've been where you've been and I felt all the emotions along with you. Thank you for sharing with us your journey. Your beautiful second miracle will come ❤

I had to stop working when I saw the notification! Thank you for sharing such a private moment! I know it’s helping a lot of couples going throw the same experience and those who want to get pregnant in the future. And if doing tests live helps you in any way, keep doing it! And if stops making sense, you decide what’s best for you and we’ll watch and support whatever you want to share! I wish you and your family all the best ❤️

My heart broke at the end so I can only imagine how it felt for you! I think it's amazing that you are documenting this journey and helping all the women out there going through the same not to feel so alone. When Baby #2 sees this video one day they'll know exactly how much you were looking forward to creating/meeting them ❤️

Don’t give up Elle, my mum and dad got pregnant with my sister 5years after my brother was born after she decided to give up. 5 months after my sisters birth she found out she was pregnant with me. Both of those were happy little accidents. She believe now that she had to relieve the stress and anxiety of not being pregnant. It can happen and It will happen all according to Gods plan.

Thank you for sharing your journey Elle. It's the first time I have watched a fertility vlog and I hope you find it in your heart to keep posting them because they are so important. My family has a history of infertility on the male side, yet women keep having to carry most of the psychological burden. I send you lots of love and strength for this stage.

We’re struggling with trying for our second too at this time. We’re on cycle 8. Thanks for sharing your story.

Oh Elle. I’m so sorry. My heart goes out to you. My husband and I have been trying for five years and every month feels so gutting and heartbreaking. Stay strong. You’re in my prayers. Sending you a big hug.

I cried with you 💔 my heart is breaking for you

elle i’ve been watching you since i was in middle school and now i’m studying for dental admissions test for dental school. i seriously love you so much and will be keeping you in my prayers, i watch every video of yours!

My husband and I were trying for almost a full 2 years, it is frustrating for sure!! Baby dust to you!! We’re 13 weeks now 🥰

Don’t lose hope Elle! My heart breaks for you but trust the process! I’m wishing you the best and happiest days ahead as you continue this journey ♡

Thank you so much for sharing this elle, my heart goes out to you. Trying to conceive is one of the most stressful things a couple can go through yet very few people even talk about it. I’m so sorry you’ve been going through this difficult time but this video would have really helped so many people and made them feel less alone . I think you are such a wonderful and inspiring person and I love watching all your videos and have done since your allthatglitters days Praying for you ❤️ and sending so much love, I’m sure you will have good news soon XX

Thank you for being so open and honest. This was incredibly brave of you to share this. I’ve no doubt you are a source of comfort and information to those going through the same type of experiences right now. ❤️

I‘m wishing the best for you! ❤️🍀 I‘m curious though: did Alex get tested as well? I totally get it if this is too personal to share for him/ you two.

You’re so strong and this is a hard topic. Please keep talking about it. Fertility needs to become normal to talk about. You’re paving the way for so many women. 💕
