When Everyone's Pregnant 

I have closed my infertility chapter and have moved onto basking in my childlessness. Enjoy the small things and give thanksgiving to all your blessings. May you have more sunshine then rain. Blessings during the difficult times to all those infertility warriors.

I'm beyond my "pregnant" window due to age. Every time you talk about infertility I'm right back there in my journey. I'm blessed to have one child that took 8 years to conceive. I pray that you'll get to announce a pregnancy soon. 🙏

I am now in my 6th year of infertility, 9 rounds of iui 2 rounds of IVF, 4 pregnancies one of them was ectopic the other 3 were miscarriages. Your channel has been such an encouragement to me. Thank you for saying exactly what I need to hear some days! ❤️

I’ve been on the infertility journey for 2+ years and started ivf this year. My first transfer ended in miscarriage and my 2nd failed… it’s especially hard that it failed before the holidays … prayers for all those going through this. It’s so hard to keep the faith when you’re searching and searching for answers but somehow we keep pushing through.

I haven't watched the whole video yet. But as a woman with no uterus anymore. I am really jealous of all the women who are getting pregnant. After so much loss I just wish I could have tried longer and tried to have more. 😔 I'm really sensitive today.

Alex you are not alone! It does seem like everyone is pregnant right now. My husband and I went back to the fertility doc after 5 years, and are about 8 years into out infertility journey. It is so hard, keeping you in my prayers.

I have been surviving secondary infertility for 2 years. Lost an ectopic pregnancy and a tube in August. Just started trying again… so the pregnant mommas everywhere are hard for a lot of us. Praying for you too! ❤

Sending you love, strength and light Alex. I am feeling the same coming into this time of year. I expected my Christmas's to be filled with children laughing and running around. My home is so quiet. I had 8 miscarriages and had an emergency hysterectomy so I will never bring a child into this world. All I ever wanted was to be a mummy. Thank you for sharing how you're feeling Alex. I feel so much less alone hearing I'm not the only one feeling this way. Your words mean so much 💕

I'm so sorry you feel alone in your infertility journey. I am in that place always, as a 59 yr old, I will go to my grave 'silently' devastated I never realized my life long dream of being a mom and then into a grandma. It's like a deep life long grief. I say silently because, especially after child bearing years passed, no one wants to hear how sad you are you never had children, but then no one understands that grief continues into not being a grandma either. Thanks for your encouragement even amidst your sadness too.

I can tell you are struggling and that is understandable. I can also feel your unquenchable yearning to grow your family. I want so badly for you both to have that miracle once again. All three of your children are actual miracles. That’s amazing. I’ll be praying for you.

I have wanted to be a Mommy since I was a toddler. I love kids, and kids love me. Unfortunately, I am unable to have biological children, and due to my medical history, I am not able to adopt, or foster. It is heartbreaking to know that I will always be a childless mother. Empty arms forever. I pray for all of your followers, and for you. May God bless you, and help heal your aches. 🙏🙏

This is our first year of secondary infertility after stillbirth and I’m dreading this holiday season. Thank you for this video, I needed it today.

After struggling to get pregnant for 6 years we finally had our miracle in late 2019 and we had our miracle not long after you guys in 2020. In June 2022 this year I got a miraculous second line only to be very short lived losing our little bean 6 days after finding out. We then found out again in October recently we were expecting again and once again day 6 into knowing we lost the baby again. I’m devastated and afraid to try again now. We just hold our sweet daughter and thank god every single day she came into this world to help us through these sad moments, sending you all so much love. Xxxxx

Alex, thank you for being raw and real. We all struggle with something. Praying for you mama during this holiday season.

Alex with all love and respect here... have you thought about maybe talking to a therapist or someone about your feelings on infertility? It just seems like your dream of having a big family is something that continues to weigh heavily on you and you can't get over ❤️

I understand your pain. Marriage number one broke down when he announced he didn't want children. I'd had no idea. Eventually remarried but couldn't get pregnant because of male infertility. Several unsuccessful attempts at IUI, then tried IVF and have two gorgeous children as a result. I felt I was running out of time because I was 39 when I had my second. I pray for you often x

I’ve always had irregular cycles and very mild difficulty getting pregnant but I never really understood the pain until a couple weeks ago when we lost a pregnancy for the first time after 4 perfect pregnancies and now I truly understand the pain! So I really pray that god blesses you and everyone who struggles and has the pain of loss!

Not long after my infertility diagnosis my mom told me she was pregnant with my 6th little brother. It was so hard not to feel bitter when I was struggling and my own mother was pregnant unexpectedly.

We're in year 7 of our waiting, enduring 3 losses ranging from 7 weeks to 17 weeks between 2017 and 2020. Currently on cycle 6 of trying for our rainbow baby. My heart is so heavy with the holidays approaching. I'm so tired of not having children to share joy of the season with. I turn 30 next year and thought I'd be pregnant with our third child by now, not just a mom of 3 angels.

I got pregnant miraculously last year after two losses and found out on Christmas Eve. I gave my husband the positive test for Christmas morning. I found out on New Year’s Eve that my numbers were doubling and the baby was growing. And yet I still have no baby this Christmas. It will be our four year anniversary trying to conceive this December and I just really thought we would have a little baby to buy Christmas presents for this year.

During the holiday season emotions around infertility definitely intensify for me. It was 4 days before Christmas when I lost my first baby. During that time I think it’s important to do extra to fill my heart with joy while also honouring the pain of the past.

We're on our 19th month into our infertility journey, I've just had a diagnosis of PCOS, Endometriosis and a complete Septum. We have had 5 miscarriages and I'm currently multiple surgeries before we start trying again. We told family members we were expecting on Christmas and miscarried the following day. It's going to be a difficult season but it's OK.

Alex I understand but honey you have 3 beautiful kids and yall will get there.Just try and stay thankful and positive ✨️. I am a mom of 3 kids and we are also a family that has ADHD.I Love you and your family ❤️

We are 2.5 years into our infertility journey. Still in the empty arms phase. The plan was to start ivf in a few months, but that’s contingent on how my breast scans go tomorrow. This whole journey has been so isolating. 💔

We are going into our third holiday season on the infertility journey. We have two precious children in heaven and our hearts are heavy. The empty arms phase is a pain that is so hard to describe to people who haven't been here. We are taking the month of December off from treatments and will be trying a new protocol come 2023.

Sending you a big hug❤ My husband and I have been going through infertility. After 4 years we were blessed with our miracle baby, who was born 3 months early. We have now been trying for a year since our son was born. I’m walking along with you in this crazy journey, and I pray you get your blessing soon! ❤ sending so much love

I’m about to start my first ivf at 41 with very high fish and amh. Trying to stay positive and keep positive 😊

It's good to get it off your chest Alex. We are all family here, and we love you so very much x ❤️

Praying for y'all in this season. How I love how vocal Miss Buttercup is in this video. Precious! 💜🙏

Keep your chins up guys. You are making a difference in so many lives. You have a beautiful family but I understand how difficult it can be to stay positive when you feel that it is not complete yet and that the road to completion is harsh, complex and with no golden guarantees. Just know that we are all behind you!! Sending much love and good vibes in your direction x 😊

Definitely hurts to see all my friends pregnant/with multiple children. Still just holding on to the hope that soon it’ll be my time.. ❤️‍🩹

Definitely going into the holidays struggling this year. We had 2 miscarriages this year (one in April, one in September) and the second turned out to be a molar pregnancy so we are in an extended waiting period as we pray to reach negative without needing chemo. There are 6 friends close to me bringing babies into the world this month and I’ve never struggled feeling like this before, but it hurts so much this year. 💔

I am with you. Dealing with infertility for 5+ years. Never pregnant. We have male and female factor. We did 3 IUI's last year all failed. Started IVF in February of this year. My body kept failing me and had to stop twice. Finally made it to an egg retrieval on 9/29/22. We got 2 eggs, both mature and fertilized with ICSI, both made it to day 5 blasts, and both PGT-A Normal!! Started my transfer cycle. Have to start lupron injections this weekend. And a hopeful transfer day 12/9/22. I'm scared but trying to remain hopeful. I've followed you for a while always praying for you guys. You have helped me stay strong and to keep fighting. You inspire me thank you. Sending you both all my love and prayers.❤️🙏🏻

After having two healthy kiddos 6 years apart, we tried for 4 years to complete our family with a 3rd and we’re unsuccessful. People don’t talk about secondary infertility, but it’s real and it’s just as painful as any other type. Our infertility was caused by adenomyosis, for which 8 weeks ago at 33 years old I had to have a hysterectomy. So that door to give birth again myself has now been slammed shut. This season has been fraught with grief for me. While grieving that loss for ourselves, my sister in law (this will make kiddo number 5 for them) is pregnant, my grandmother passed away and my grandfather is battling a leukemia crisis right now. I know a new season is waiting around the corner, but going into this holiday season just certainly doesn’t feel joyful this year. And that’s ok. I choose to be rejoice with thanksgiving for what the Lord has given me. I can grieve what I’ve lost, but I can’t live there. That’s the beauty of life, we can choose to be thankful in any season. Praying for you guys in this season as well.

It’s okay so not be sad! Thats why you have your family to make you happy!❤❤❤

I have been struggling so bad this year Mt youngest turned one this year I'm going to be 33 and I have been so blessed with 2 miracles woth infertility. We just suffered a miscarriage and I'm absolutely devastated 😢 praying for you 🙏

Sunday at church I stood before everyone declaring i am 1 in 4. It was very hard and an emotional day for me. It happened almost 18 years ago but it still hits hard

Having never had the opportunity for marriage I face the coming holidays with great sadness because I never got the chance to see the wonder and delight of my children eyes on Christmas morning after Santa came. And now being 58 and husband less and childless I’m also grandchild less and that makes the holidays even harder 😢. Lost hopes and dreams that haunt me with what might have been. Be grateful for what you do have, which is so very much. (And don’t be jealous of your fertile cow 😅).

I feel this... We have three precious children this side of heaven, and three in heaven. Our most recent loss was twins two years ago. Christmas is hard, as they would be two this Christmas. My baby is 5, and I would so love to have another baby to hold. I know the Lord's timing is not mine, nor his ways my ways. Prayers❤ Thank you for sharing.

Alex you have such a beautiful heart. I am now in my later years but I still have those times.

So many of my friends and family are pregnant and/or have had babies recently. Meanwhile we’ve been on our infertility journey for almost five years now. We just had our first egg retrieval yesterday and are waiting for the results. It’s hard to do this waiting all the time. It feels like our lives never move forward but everyone around us is running full speed ahead.

We have struggled with infertility since 2007.... We've been through 4 ivf rounds in public hospital here i Norway and now we have to move on to private clinic. Possibly in Greece or Poland. Going into the holiday with a heavy heart.... Another year not being pregnant and on TOP of that I lost my father through cancer earlier this year so this holiday will be hard.....

Ugh I needed this today. We lost our baby and tube to a ruptured ectopic in May and are having the hardest time trying to get pregnant again. I just hoped by Christmas. 😭 🙏🏻

I've just come across your channel after searching for varicocele embolization, which my husband had 3 months ago. We're in the UK so we're having to wait 6 months before checks are done to see if anything has changed, but I've got everything crossed. We don't have any children ourselves, and we're 37 + 39, so age isn't on our side any more! It's been helpful to see your journey, as well as read others comments. I know exactly what you mean about others being pregnant. 2 of my colleagues have just left for maternity leave and like you said, 'it stings' 😥

I’m here with you! Both of our transfers failed completely (no implantation occurred), and currently am in a mock cycle to perform an ERA. We likely won’t be able to transfer until after the holidays. We’ve been in the empty arms phase for 8 years ❤

GREAT VLOG ALEX... The Holidays are very, Very difficult every year being estranged from my only child for now 16 years... I PRAY GOD can find a way to soften your heart... I celebrated my 14 years of Sobriety this 9/11 & Proud of that accomplishment with the Strength by GOD & The Encouragement by MANY... GBY & YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAMILY Alex with Peace & Comfort throughout the Holiday Season... I LOVE YOU ALL 🙏❤️💙💖💖💖🐕🤗✝️

I’m right there with you Alex. It’s a tough season. TTC for 6 months almost, had a femvue, waiting to find out if we need meds next. Praying for you and your beautiful family!

Holiday and infertility on the mind for me too. Sending my love to you ❤

🛑 This might be a sensitive subject for some to read so please feel free to skip this comment if it bothers you. From watch your videos the past few years I have learned how to be much more sensitive and understand to others who are on a infertility journey. I'm currently pregnant with my 4th boy birth and I have 1 boy I adopted. My cousin has struggled for the past few years. I found out and a few weeks later she found out. I was so happy for her and I to be due the same week. She was so excited but I was still feeling like I was just not at a point that I wanted to be pregnant. Not that I'm ungrateful or anything so please don't take it like that. I'm just trying to explain it all. Me and my cousin talked about ever step of going through this together but also about how different it was getting pregnant and finding out. Well she messaged me a few days ago and she is having a miscarriage. I messaged back and told her everything I thought about things I've learned watching your journey. I told her if she needs to take me or anyone else off her social media than do it and it's okay. I understand she is going through a lot and probably won't want to watch me go through my pregnancy. I think of her every second and feel for her but I also know I will never truly understand what she's going through.

You should check out The Minimal Mom on RU-vid. She talks all about going minimal and how much easier it is to maintain a home and family life. It's taken almost a year, but I've embraced this and it has transformed my home and how I feel!

My heart feels for you. I am a mother of 3 wonderful boys they are now 12, 14 and 15. It took us 2 years to conceive our eldest with out infertility help but we were going through the process when I fell pregnant. I can still feel that heartbreak, baby bumps everywhere , the pain , emotions is good and you be you as everyone deals with it differently. God bless and love from the UK.

We had 12 years of infertility.. conceived on round 7 and about to celebrate our beautiful boy’s first birthday. We’re going back for a final round in January 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 I’m 46 and so very grateful for our boy but would like a sibling. X

I am here with you! Sending love, strenght and hope. I was also going to have a baby from February transfer... Four short pregnancies later... I am here, without a newborn or baby in the belly. But I really want to hope, that next year will be the year:) I wish that for you, too!

I totally get this in the infertility scope- some days are just harder than others. We had a chemical pregnancy as a result of our 3rd IVF transfer (first positive pregnancy test) at the beginning of October and the loss hurt for so many reasons but not being pregnant at holidays is what is really hurting right now. I’m trying to do something every day that makes me feel better, but definitely a hard season. We can’t do another IVF cycle till January/February (financial reasons) and it’s been really hard just waiting. I think WAITING is the one word that summarizes this fertility journey. Thank you for making me feel less alone and you are not alone. Kudos to you for being productive; I find it hard to be productive when I am struggling.

I’m not positive when it’s considered infertility but December marks 1 year of TTC. It has been so hard on me & your videos have helped me so much.

So sorry that you are going through this situation. No one should tell you how many children you should have. Hopefully things will turn around for you all and you get to expand your family. I just love all your animals!!

Walking along side you guys! In my TWW currently and man does the holiday season make this time a little more sad. And it seems like every time I turn there’s another pregnancy/birth announcement. Thank God for His presence and guidance during the struggles though, praying all our seasons are coming! ❤

I completely understand..I’m 37 and have PCOS. The worry and anxiety of getting too old and missing my time is weighing heavy on me. I’m starting to lose hope that I will ever have a baby. 😞

Big hug Alex I am sorry you feel so sad . You have every right to feel sad God will bless you again 😊❤ stay positive

I was supposed to be 32 weeks tomorrow. We had an ectopic pregnancy in May, and my heart just feels so empty. I cry when I see new babies and heavily pregnant people, and randomly still. It hurts so much.

I'm at the other end of parenting, 4 kids, two son's in their 30's, two daughters in their 20's, empty nest, that's a whole different feeling, grandma to two beautiful granddaughters, 2and a half and 23months, I get to spoil them, being a grandma is a whole different thing, love it when they are excited to see you ,me. Love your life,

You are entitled to these days about pregnancy, we are human and that’s the way God made us , so please share and vent! We’re here and so is God. My prayers are with you sweetie.🙏🏼👍😊

Sending you a big hug Alex and prayers and best wishes as you continue your fertility journey xx ❤❤

Alex-my infertility journey was many years ago so I do understand. I wanted to share as you were talking about how it seems like everyone’s pregnant-I’m going through the same with people who have working marriages as my husband left me months ago and wants a divorce. I would do anything to have my world back and it hurts alot, and I’m not jealous of others but I just wish my life was different right now. I know you’re so grateful for what’s in your life but you amazing relationship with Phillip is something I look at with a full heart. You are incredibly humbled and blessed-❤

In the TTW for our third IUI trying for our third baby. I hate that the trauma still is there years later, but I've been so busy that I've kept myself distracted. Praying everything works out for you all!

I totally understand the pain of pregnancy loss as well as understanding feeling so alone when "everyone" seems to be pregnant, giving birth or adopting all at once around you. And the sad thing is that animals have infertility as well, we had a sweet female dog who couldn't get pregnant (she did have an injury when very young) also I have a mare that we have tried to get pregnant a number of times but she has never gotten pregnant. Which means that if we wanted that dream to come to a reality it would have to be a big process with vets and things to try. But I do pray for the healing that God is bringing, and for the blessings that He has in store for your family! He hasn't forgotten

I’m going into this season with 3 losses from the last year. I’m exhausted and so sad. I bought another stocking last Christmas hoping we would be using it this year. Well, we should be, but we aren’t. I was triggered by taking the stockings out. And so decided to just buy all new ones. Thank you for sharing. Hugs. 💞

Oh yes, definitely on the train of infertility feeling overwhelming going into the holiday season! I have another excision surgery this week to hopefully remove endometriosis and hopefully help with getting pregnant. But we shall see!

You are so right about getting outside. That's probably why I'm so depressed anymore. I never go outside. My house has become my prison. Maybe someday I'll be able to break out.

So you know there are federal programs for fencing and water ran to pastures. Very good programs for first time farmers. Also a water tank 2500-3000 gallon tank for catching and using rain water.

Because I wasn’t able to get pregnant quickly when a newly wed young woman- I was beginning to wonder if I was dealing with infertility. I miscarried my first pregnancy- finally was pregnant with daughter after a long 18 mo. When we thought we needed an additional child to our family- took over 18 mo and was pregnant with twin boys. Unfortunately one twin died in first trimester. I pray that you and Phil will get pregnant with the son you desire. It’s very hard being around moms to be when dealing with infertility. Hugs and prayers ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Oh Alex I too went through infertility and get the struggles!!! It’s a lot!! 😢😢😢 I love all your animals!!!

As a woman with ADHD I highly recommend doing some looking into specifically adhd in women. I grew up diagnosed with ADHD since before I could talk, but never really understood the ways my brain works differently than not only nerotypical people, but also men with adhd. Gave me a lot of tools some of which really worked for me, and helped me differentiate which strategies I had learned will never work for me. When I really looked into it, it really validated a lot of things I do and need that are explainable that I had been self conscious about. Rejection sensitive dysphoria was a revelation for my mental health. Other things were just cool, getting names for things that I had always had/done just gave me the language to explain to myself and others how I am.

Hi Alex I'm so sorry ur going through this keep strong u have a beautiful family and your home is amazing you come so far 💗

Hi Alex, I just want to comment that my youngest daughter is going through some health issues right now. She has hypothyroidism which she takes one pill/day, she is type 1 diabetic and takes a minimum of 6 insulin injections/day but as well, her cycle is late. You touched on thyroid issues which turned on a lightbulb for me. She has been stressed lately and not wanting to go outside, now it makes a bit more sense. Thank you xo I think blood work is in order. Wesley is adorable, when his nose came right up to the camera, I laughed out loud. I must say, I'm so glad you didn't get stung by that wasp. It was sitting on your shoulder for some time til it finally flew away. :)) God Bless your family xo

After 2 "periods" 28 days apart during my second pregnancy i used to obsessively check pregnancy tests whenever i thought something was off. It is really hard emotionally to go to that thought. I imagine how hard it must be in your situation

I just had a failed IVF cycle 3 months ago. I’m in the waiting and not ready for the holidays and all the pregnant people everywhere. Thanks for sharing. Just wish we could figure out how to make a baby.

Man I wish I could be like actually friends with you because like I feel your pain as being in the waiting. I struggle with losing weight and being more healthy. It took me 2 years to get pregnant shockingly last time and now I am working to lose weight again to even begin trying again because of the health problems I had when I was pregnant. So I'm here your not alone!! It breaks my heart with how lonely you feel because I feel it too in away. Even more because I lost my mom almost 6 months ago.

You have every right to feel the way you do.

I haven't dealt with infertility in the same way you have but I absolutely understand what you mean with analyzing every little thing and I literally just took a pregnancy test after my period because I felt off and convinced myself it could have been really long implantation bleeding... Which is ridiculous.

I’m walking this road of infertility with you ❤ I have been for the 3+ years. I’m hopeful though 🌈

Sending my love!! Love your positive attitude!! ❤️❤️❤️

Nothing like you, but I have been trying for less than a year and still feel this way. I assumed it would be easy, cause it does seem like everyone I know is pregnant right now. I also had a miscarriage a few months in, and my dad is very sick and may not be around too much longer. I feel like I really need this to turn my life around and be happy again, and the paranoia that there is a major issue is really starting to kick in. This probably seems silly to a lot of people who have struggled for years, but I think it really shows the true impact it has on people. Best of luck ❤

We have been ttc for 10 years with 2 miscarriages and 5 failed IUI. IVF is our next step but the cost is not ideal for us right now so we are working on it but holidays are always hard. I actually went to see Dr. Hatch.

I’m with you Alex. Another Christmas without grandchildren for my parents and in-laws 😢

We got pregnant naturally after having a successful infertility treatment baby. We were thrilled! I miscarried him last week. I have been struggling so hard going into this season with all the what ifs and the “why was I given this just to have it taken away.”

You just need to remember self care. Prayers for the journey. Much love!

Many years ago I was in your shoes. I wouldn’t want to go back and relive all those months after months of tears for anything. I did miraculously end up having a daughter after struggling for seven years with infertility. Unfortunately my daughter is in the same boat. We have one beautiful granddaughter through IVF and they still have three frozen embryos. She is doing all she has to do that she can be ready for the next transfer after the first of the year. My heart hurts for both of you. I am glad that season is over for me because I don’t have to get my hopes up and have them let down anymore.

I've **always**loved you guys. I've prayed for you through 3 IVF cycles, with the last 1 resulting in sweet Kennedy (sp?). However, I must admit that I'm completely flummoxed about the newest round of IVF. It just seems that you've finally got things settled down. You guys went through _so_ much, just to get Kennedy through those tube feedings, with her heart surgery & lots of worry & stress. I love you all dearly. I'm sorry, but I do ***not*** understand your running right back into all that trauma gleefully. I had to hand my 2 month old baby girl over into the arms of strangers, @ the University of Kentucky medical center, (4-17-96) to save her life. It was the worst thing we had ever been through. Her father & I divorced in 1998. She was 10 when I married my college sweetheart, Jon, on 9-2-06. I had her little brother 10 months after. Jon was healthy & my health was managed well by medication. After all we went through, forgive me, but it just seems like you just got off the nightmare train & you're rip roaring ready to go get in line & are desperate to go through all that again...? Again, I'm sorry. I'd not want to hurt you. I'm not bashing. I just don't understand walking out of the fire & after all that work you've done developing your lovely property, only to run back into the inferno??? Please, forgive me, but is Phil so desperate for a boy that you're going to completely turn everything upside down to do that ???

I am able to conceive, but I miscarried 3 out of 5 pregnancies and need medication from the moment on I see the second line on the test. After my last miscarriage I gave up hope, I couldn't survive another loss. So I hope that on day I feel peace, while looking at my 2 gorgeous, perfect kids. Wish you all the best! Sorry for the bad English and greetings from Germany

Yes I feel the same way I hear all the time around the holidays people are pregnant...

We dealt with infertility for 15 years so we finally decided to start fostering. We got our daughter from the hospital at 5 days old and we adopted her when she was 14 months old. 3 years later we got a sweet almost 3 month old baby boy and had him over 2 years and he left our home almost 3 weeks ago. We are heartbroken but it's all in God's plan. I have never been pregnant and at 40 will probably not ever get pregnant so sometimes I still have those moments when I would love to be with child. I cried when you lost your little boy. Praying for y'all. Hugs from the south.

It will be your and everyone else’s turn, all of you will have more babies, going to say a special prayer for all of you

I have pcos, endometriosis and hypothyroidism. My husband and I are on year #4 of infertility and after multiple rounds of failed treatments and 3 miscarriages, we’re moving onto IVF this coming spring.🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Ohhh my word my heart 😍 the last time i was here, there was chickens and the one that made a lot of noise lol i think its a goose. Now you guys have the whole farm so cute! My heart is beaming...Cassidy is a big girl now wow so happy to see the growth.

Yes I starting IVF next month

I so feel you pain Alex in a million & one ways……. It’s hard to stay strong all the time, but like you, we rise above the dark cloud & keep fighting to achieve so much every day.. Sending so much love to you , Philip & your beautiful girls😘💗😘💗😘💗♥️♥️♥️

Feeling alone in the journey here too! Praying for you friend!

Dairy farmer here. Cows can do this thing called a false heat and it's just hormones acting strange. Essentially, they are bred and get pregnant but their hormones still go a bit crazy afterwards and they show a heat even though they technically shouldn't. It's actually more common than you would think. I just had three yearling heifers be confirmed pregnant via bloodtest (due this coming spring) despite all three having been in a standing heat within 2 weeks of the blood samples being taken. But looking at the side view you showed and going by the size of that calf, I don't think there's another one in there. But if you are really wondering, you can call the vet and see if they can either do an ultrasound or a blood test to see if she is still pregnant.

Hi Alex. I understand where you are coming from. My cycles were always irregulars and after the birth of my daughter developed endometriosis. The only solution to this was a hysterectomy. Those years I went through the pain and 2 cycles er month I was going literally mad so that put an end to my tale. So I can understand how you feel and it’s no help to you granted but you may strike lucky next time. Much love and respect from across the pond in Uk x
