  • A Pregnancy Test and Heartbreak | Our Fertility Journey Episode 3
    Here is episode 3! I think half of you know what's about to happen (since I opened up a little mid last year) and the other half are thinking my happy ending (or beginning I guess?) starts here. If there's one thing this past few years has taught me, both with infertility and the pandemic, is that no matter how much we want and wish and plan and try...some things are just out of our control, or maybe it's just not the right time yet. But we can't give up! So our journey continues!!
    Side note: If you're going through IVF try your hardest not to test at home (even though it sucks because you want to just be happy and celebrate at home like most 'normal pregnancies' you see) because you can get a false positive test or false negative test for several reasons. Just be aware of that!

    I'm my parents only child and their 4th attempt at IVF. Before me, my mom had a twin stillbirth and 2 miscarriages. I've spoken to both my parents about the entire experience. My dad, although he never had to go through the physical changes or put his body through ample amounts of stress, was emotionally impacted by losing all those babies. He says that after the third attempt, he was not keen on trying again because it would have been too painful to lose another child. However, he left the final decision to my mom given that it was her body that was being heavily manipulated and if she felt physically and emotionally strong enough for another attempt, he would support that decision wholeheartedly. She never had a doubt about that 4th attempt. No matter how depleting and heartbreaking the process had been on her. She is so strong and so resilient and I always remind myself when I get frustrated by her stubbornness, that it's the sole reason I exist haha. I'm 23 now. Anything is possible. I truly hope for you both to have your miracle baby some day. But most importantly, no matter what your journey is, make sure to take care of yourself along the way and recognize your incredible strength (both physical and mental), especially in the lowest of moments. You are so powerful.

      as a woman struggling with infertility, it’s really beautiful to read this from the child’s perspective. so many depressed, emo kids out there, and I get it- but my worst nightmare is finally having a baby, and later they scream at me “I wish I were never born.”

    I do feel that we need to talk more about fertility and the decision of having/not having children like this - in a real way! Not through lenses of politicians, various movements, and such. Real people like you give out real stories that are heartbreaking, sensitive, intimate and so much more. I personally decided that I don't want to have children and I am looked down upon for that. And I find that I have no one to talk to about my reasons and they do come from deep trauma. Even though you are going through a very different struggle than I, I felt so connected to your pain and emotional rollercoaster. My heart goes out to you.

  • @rufiredup90

    This is one of the most rawest videos on RUclips I’ve ever seen. You’re so incredibly brave Taylor for putting yourself and your whole journey out here for the whole world to see. Lots of people who can relate will be able to feel like they’re not alone in this and that is such a blessing to so many of us. I hope you’ll get your baby soon, both you and Tom. Always wanna see you guys happy.

    I honestly know what you’re going through. I also have PCOS and been married for 2 years. My husband and I went through fertility treatments just like the both of you. I know how stressful it is to be poke everywhere. I had HCG shots and trigger shots we decided to go through IUI. After 1 miscarriage and 2 failed IUI. We decided to stop and take a break. My mental health was going down. I cant deal properly with my seniors and patients. And to top it all, Im an OB GYN. Imagine how I felt every time I have patients who comes to me pregnant. I honestly felt really jealous, sad and depressed. So my husband and I decided to take a break. It was the most liberating feeling of doing our usual routine (before fertility) I took a break and went home. But to our surprise after a month we become pregnant without any treatments or hormones. Imagine all our pent up emotions finding out your pregnant but as we go through our pregnancy the fear and anxiety is still there. You go through another round of medications just to make sure the baby is alive. I know we have a long way to go keep this baby - but I still believe God will always be there.
    Taylor, I pray for your health more than ever. You’re not alone. I am praying that at the end of this journey you’ll get a positive result. You are truly blessed to have a husband like him. May God bless you both. (Oopps using my husband YT account ✌🏼🤣)

    You guys are already a mom and dad. I always wondered why my mom's top priority was nothing else but me even though I felt like I could do anything without her, but now I understand it was how parents are like. You reminded me of my mom. Now it's time to take care of yourself. You guys are brave.

    My mom had me after sooo much time trying with my dad. After getting finally pregnant, she had tons of problem, she went in and out to hospitals, also risked to lose me on her 5th month... so no matter how difficult it is, please don't stop to believe in yourself. You can do it 💪❤️

DONT give up hope. May God bless you with a beautiful and resilient baby, you and Tom would be great parents.

I was pregnant one day and not 2 days later. Right now I am 10 weeks pregnant. (I saw a strong heartbeat at 7 weeks) and I am terrified but hopeful. This will happen for you. You will get your baby ❤️

    Taylor, I have been watching you for years, since your dancing and dolly sort of days! I believe we're right around the same age, and it almost felt like watching a friend grow up and venture through life. I loved watching the changes in your life and how you moved through it with a smile and always so genuine. You shared your feelings and when you were down along with the happy times. I am so happy for you and everything you accomplish and will continue to do! I hope with all my heart that you and Tom can find peace and happiness, whatever that is to the both of you! My heart aches watching these, as silly as it sounds!

    Hey, Taylor, thanks for sharing this really vulnerable journey. I’m not sure what all you’ve tried but I want to share some more affordable options for when your energy to try again returns. My mom took 3 yrs to get pregnant with her first. She finally went to a acupuncturist. Apparently her left ovary was having issues so they focused their treatment on that. A few weeks later she finally got pregnant! I went six yrs of trying without getting pregnant ( I have PCOS). Then I randomly tried the keto diet cause I wanted to lose some weight. Four months later I became pregnant for the first time ever! After the fact, I found out a lot of women before me have used the keto diet to get pregnant and many have finally found success after years of trying. I tell anyone struggling to conceive to just try it out because it’s a fairly easy and affordable option. Can’t hurt to give it a shot. Wishing you the best on your journey! You’re such a strong and remarkable woman!

    My stepmother had her first child at 40 years old (with my father), she was infertile until then, all the doctors said she was infertile (she's a nurse), several tests said that, she tried several times to have a child, unfortunately he didn't came until her 40 years old when she thought her chance was over. When she no longer had hope due to age and infertility she became pregnant naturally and had my brother healthy without any complications. Don't give up on yourself, your baby will arrive too, no matter what, you will be blessed too!

      @@voodooprincess11 It is actually selfish...It's not good for the kids and not good for the woman. More often than not if a woman has more than 5-6 kids its often due to the selfishness of the husband or her ignorance due to her upbringing. For some its even a business to go around countries that are more rich and gather unemployed benefits and make their kids begg...Ask any social worker. There are good families but its like only 1 in 10 such families the other 9 often have some huge issues and the kids suffer. Even when such families happen in the west the oldest kids in those families often become the mothers and fathers at age 5-6 changing diapers of their now 1-month-old sibling and protecting their 2-year-old sibling from hitting the table instead of studying or playing like their friends because their parents are working and even when 1 is staying at home like the mother, for example, more often than not she still makes the oldest 6-7 or 7-8-year-olds do parenting while she cleans or rest because while she has a 1 or 2 month-year-old she is surprised pregnant again...Kids from such families are vulnerable. Having 5 kids is fine especially 3 that is a great number if you can handle it...But as someone with many siblings I can tell you that even parents with only 2 kids struggle so imagine if you had enough to be a group in a daycare XD

In the US at least, contraception is free at pretty much any community college and Planned Parenthood and probably many other low income medical places; it's just that people don't bother even looking for help. Not having contraception is simply an excuse for bad decision making anyway. Can't get BCP/condoms? Well, then don't have sex.

    I've had two miscarriages, BOTH of them were extremely devastating to me. The first, I was only a couple of weeks along, so it wasn't physically terrible, the second, I was 12 weeks along....and I still tear up if I think about it. I had the second miscarriage alone in my bathroom....with my doctor on the phone explaining that my body was just expelling an imperfect fetus. When I asked her what to do with what came out of me, she told me to just flush it. That felt so incredibly wrong. Yes, it was very very tiny, and barely recognizable as a fetus, but it felt wrong to me to just casually flush it like a goldfish....so I put it in an antique trinket box with flowers, and buried the box in my garden with my husband because even though that fetus wasn't viable, i still had so much love for that baby. Needless to say, I got a new doctor after that, one who wasn't so cold, and I now am a mom of 3. I think this subject needs to be talked about openly more as it almost seems taboo to talk about how the gut wrenching pain the mother goes through during these devastating Rollercoaster rides. Its like society expects us to just slap a smile on our face, and pretend that it wasn't as bad as it really was....so, thank you for sharing this journey. I know it will help a lot of those out there who are going through the same pain, and may even encourage them to share their own journey as well.

      My heart is with you! Tho I have to ask and make maybe a suggestion...Have you thought about going abroad for IVF? Eastern Europe has a lot of IVF clinics that are affordable and freezing your eggs there or doing IFV there is a great option even people from different parts of the world and other parts of Europe do medical tourism in other countries that they can afford. I don't know where you are from but my friend has a family member raised in the U.S and her boyfriend is American and they came back to here(Bulgaria) to do IVF. They came for 1 month and a half and froze like 6 embryos did some tourism around the Black Sea and went back to the U.S to save money to try many IVF many times if the 1st does not work out for them. Based on what they said the cost of freezing eggs here is 600$ USD for more than 10 eggs which they said was really great(that's a lot of eggs you can do less), for freezing embryos, its 250$ (for 3), and what they liked most is the cost of storing the embryos its 180$ a year and 800$ for 5 years and in the U.S the cost ranges from 400-1000$ just 1 year. They said they would have tried this year but instead, they decided to freeze more embryos and do the IVF later hopefully next year or the year after when COVID-19 is over. Stay strong! Even without IVF its not impossible my childhood friend was the result of many miscarriages and suddenly boom he came to his mother out of nowhere years after they had already quit because they had literally tried soo much. I'm sure whatever happens it will be the best for you! Concentrate on your happiness and health which is what matters most

      @@irinairy9 that’s not what people trying to get pregnant want to hear. you made a choice to live that life. i want to be a mom to a biological child, and 90% of humanity gets that opportunity. it’s absolutely a travesty to be in the 10% that can’t.

    I’m a true believer in “things happen for a reason”. Stay positive, with or without kids, life can be as beautiful. Wish you all my best.

    Been going through with the same journey for 4 years and I know how painful it is. After so many tries, doing it all over again. It hurt so much realizing that your body is failing you in doing what it is suppose to do. But I also learned a lot in this journey. And I agree a hundred percent when you said that it made you feel unstoppable. As a woman, I also felt like I can do anything. I can endure anything and this infertility doesn't make me less of a woman. I am just glad that somebody is speaking about this in public and using this platform to raise awareness about our struggles. To promote compassion because you never know what a person is going through behind their positive aura. I hope you the best and let us never lose hope. Sending much love from the Philippines❤️

    I just wanted to share my parents history. My parents wanted to have children, it was always in their plans. They tried for 13 years and after many treatments that were unsuccessful they just stopped trying. The doctors had told them that they couldn't have children and that they should just try to live as a couple without kids. And after 13 years, when they weren't trying, my mom got pregnant and here I am.
    I've grown up hearing that story, and how hard it was, so thank you for sharing yours. I know it must be very difficult but I am sure it is very comforting for many people. I wish you the most fulfilling life and "*I hope your dreams stay big and your worries keep small*".
