Oh my goodness we love you guys! Thank you so much for your excitement and sending us some love!! I am so excited to watch you guys start walking this journey too!!
I've been going through the "I should have known" and "how the heck did my endo get missed?!" in the last couple weeks too. I feel like it's so unfair to blame yourself. Young girls are not taught what is a normal menstrual cycle and what is not. Doctors just want to prescribe birth control and send you away. Another huge barrier is that the only way to diagnose endo is with surgery. That alone makes getting a diagnosis very difficult. My dream is that one day there will be a way to diagnose endo without surgery. Doctors are uneducated about this condition. There is a lot of work to be done in terms of awareness, better treatments, and pain management.
Also check out Melissa's website Endo Empowered, if you haven't already. She's got a treasure trove of information on natural remedies/diet changes for endo. She explains the root causes of endo lesions and how to fix it. (liver, thyroid, inflammation, hormone imbalance) It's been a lifesaver for me as I have little desire to take more drugs.
i agree with caleb, go for it get a change in your life and embrace it!
and yes yessss to the hair change! I would say do more of a caramel colour than a super light blonde. I like the idea of cutting it shorter too! That would be a super fun change!
Beauty and the Best!
So, I have severe endo and my fertility doctor said I wouldn't be able to get pregnant without another surgery to remove some of it... I'm 25 weeks pregnant from my FET. And I seriously love your dog!!! Praying for you guys!
wow your fall footage especially with the horses is so beautiful!
Thank you very much :)
For a second I thought those horses were wild! It's beautiful where you live. :)
I'm excited for you guys to go down the adoption path! I know you're still coming around to the idea of it but as you saw, it's such a beautiful process. It brings me to ugly tears every time
Stunning footage!!!! Fall hasn't even started here in Toronto! It's still summer! Crazy how different it is on the west coast! 😉 I have PCOS and it's actually a misconception that PCOS means that you have tons of ovarian cysts. PCOS actually means that you don't ovulate regularly due to hormone imbalances and as a result, you have an enormous accumulation of immature follicles. (Lots of follicles, not cysts). If your cycles have always been regular, chances are that you don't have PCOS.
Hubby and I are huge Disney fans! We just went on August for our 5 year wedding anniversary! And we are taking our boys in December!
Love the fall adventure!! Nice pics guys!!
I love Disney!!!! I go to Disneyland around 100 times a year and it still doesn't get old.
hey Ayla :) I've discovered your and your husband's channel while looking at endometriosis videos. First of all I want to say that your little family is beautiful and no one deserves to go through the things you have gone through. I hope one day you will find the peace and love you deserve. I don't like to say you guys are so inspiring and strong because when people tell me that I just can't agree but you two are really amazing.
I watched your video about your depression story and I have a similar type of story. I grew up with depression and severe anxiety from living in a high stress pastoral family. unfortunately my family was not as supportive as yours seems that they were, but I surprised everyone with doing something crazy just like you and left home far away to go to college all on my own.
Unfortunately I fell into depression after I was diagnosed with Mixed Connective Tissue Disease and Lupus along with other autoimmune disorders like Sjögrens syndrome and Reynauds. My depression and lupus symptoms were so bad I couldn't function and went back home for three semesters to get treatment.
Though I never felt they were successful I was determined to go back to school and finish my degree but then started experiencing severe pain in my abdomen and back. It was so bad that I would be bedridden for weeks and missed half of my classes and then I was severely depressed so I had to drop out again a semester away from graduating to find out what that pain was and do something about it. I was diagnosed with Endometriosis after I went to the emergency room and they found a 10cm endometrioma stuck on my right ovary, tube, and uterus. I had surgery and do not have the intense pain anymore thankfully but I still have been depressed and anxious about my timeline for having kids and if I will be able to have any because of my endometriosis.
So why am I telling you and whoever reads all of this? I just wanted to express that watching your videos makes me want to keep trying to succeed. People say I'm strong but I don't feel it. I don't know what it's like to have to go through what your family has gone through but I know it must be difficult to stay positive for yourselves and your viewers. I want to say thank you for sharing your lives with us and being so honest. You guys are great and I know there are others like me who feel inspired by you to keep going and trying to succeed with our goals no matter what. Thank you.
Yey, you watch Phil and Alex! They're the sweetest couple and such an inspiration. You guy's have had a rough journey but I believe you will reach your goal and make the most wonderful parents. Hugs from England x
I just started watching your channel but your story has totally inspired me and given me hope. My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for a while... it's been a roller coaster of emotions. I had severe pain from a giant cyst in January which led to the discovery of endometriosis. The doctors are not sure I can even conceive. but we're praying and trying. However, this past week has been really hard because my pain has escalated to an unbearable point from my endometriosis. I go back to the doctor tomorrow to discuss some options and discuss what's next. I've cried so much this past week, especially when watching some of your videos because finally I feel like I'm on this journey with a couple I can relate to. If nothing else, your channel has reminded me that as a couple, my husband and I can get through this together and this journey will make us stronger. Thank you for posting your story.
Thank you for taking the time to comment! We are really humbled to know that our videos have been able to help in some way. We are wishing you the best!
Hi Ayla. I, like you, have endometriosis and also live in Calgary. From what I've heard of your story I really really recommend you watch the documentary "Endo What?" I'm assuming that the technique used in your surgery was burning the endo off. In the documentary they talk about how that method is just not effective. I also highly recommend Dr. Belland in Calgary. She's the only doctor in our area that's qualified to do the proper surgery to remove endometriosis. Endo is a terrible disease and unfortunately most doctors just don't know how to deal with it. I really hope you consider this because I strongly believe that it could help you a lot!! Sending lots of prayers and love your way :)
It still feels like summer here in Virginia with 80s and 90s..I want fall!!
Ellie is such a cute doggy!! A dog isn't in the cards for my family but if I did I would like one like her
I actually think going more red would be gorgeous on you with your coloring. The balayage will be beautiful too, though!
Hello you 2. So first off, having Endo diagnosed is the hardest thing. When I thought something was wrong I was in tons of pain. To the point of vomiting. I forced my Dr to check me. They confirmed Endo in 2011 with Laproscopy. Was told it wouldn't prevent pregnancy. 6 years later and still no baby. Dr. Min did surgery in Feb again and still no baby. I encourage all women, super heavy painful and clotted periods are not normal. You should not be sick and dying in pain. Please see a dr. Also I think a hair change after what you have been through is a great idea. I'm a stylist and I think it would be gorgeous.
I was only diagnosed after my lap surgery also! It is a really tricky condition to diagnose!
Huge Disney fan here! I moved here (Seattle) from Orlando back in 2012 and went to Disney at least once a month. My favorite classic is probably a toss up between Sleeping Beauty and Peter Pan.
I think you should totally go for the new hair color. I think it would look awesome on you!!
you guys are getting so good and filmmaking! love the mointain part. love it all, even you making your bed. my fave disney movie is aristocats, i know every word. i thi n you look super cute with a blunt shoulder length cut in a rich brown.
Yay!!!! Another Disney fan 😍 Sleeping beauty is one of my favourites but it's so hard to pick.
and yes i think that hair color will look great on you!
My favorite time as well is fall, I wish it lasted longer! Also, yes to the hair change, it's always a good idea! 😀
Love the Mickey shirt!! My favorite Disney movie is The Lion King.
I am a Disney freak.. we go at least once a year and we are 57 days away from our first Disney Cruise... my go to movie is The Little Mermaid and I love Stitch! :)
I have endo and PCOS, I would push to have some more tests done too cuz having frequent cysts doesn't sound like just endo to me. Some things to have checked are prolactin levels, testosterone and periodic pelvic ultra-sounds.
Do the hair! If you want change, hair is the perfect place. It grows back, the change isn't permanent at all, and you can even dye it back if you don't like it! I LOVE changing my hair. I get bored if it stays the same for too long. DO IT! :)
Ayla!! Yesss. So much YES to the hair color idea! You're beautiful no matter what, and sometimes us women just need a change!
-Also, where's the link for Phil and Alex? Am I blind, or?? Take care you guys!
So sorry! I forgot to put up the link when uploading this morning before rushing to work! It's there now :)
In Southern Ontario it is no where near fall yet! we are still at 25-30 degrees everyday.
I have always thought your hair is beautiful!! I'm a hairstylist but tend to gravitate towards more natural looks. I say go for it! Maybe do something more subtle your first time. Like a sun kissed look.. or a subtle ombré. If you're nervous about it being drastic! I'm sure it will be beautiful!
And my all time favorite Disney movie is tangled!!! The dad kills me every time!!! I always cry!!!
We live about an hour from Disney and have annual passes :) My favorite Disney movie is Peter Pan! I'm jealous of your fall weather, here in Florida it is still so stinking hot.
I am so so jealous, I have always wanted to go to Disneyland/World! :)
Notification Squad where ya at??? #1 view and like 😉
Fave movie by far is the little mermaid !! My hubby and I are looking into going on a Disney cruise :)
The hair change would look great! Would you like going lighter in the fall/winter though? Not that you HAVE to wait till the spring/summer but I know I always like to be dark in the fall. Something to consider. Also if you do balayage then it's very low maintenance and if you want to go back to brown it's easier to do.
Lighter usually would be for the summer, but I'm just really in need of a change and have been eyeing that hairstyle for months!
balayage hair color is low maintenance, so it'll look cute, just make sure the transition isn't too drastic.
YASS Disney Fan!! I just got back from Disney World - first time ever. It was soooo amazing. You guys should make the trip once if you have never been. Especially if you are a Disney freak :) My fave is the Little Mermaid!
I would absolutely love to go! Hopefully some day soon :) Glad you had fun!
I love your natural color its so beautiful!! If you want a change tho you could just get a new haircut/hairstyle like an A-line cute (:
How do you keep your camera so steady?! Mine is so shaky and I've tried different lenses. The quality is so good:) I was told I could possibly have Endo but the Dr didn't seem phased?! I'm not married or ready for kids but I'm starting to think I should look into it more, just incase! Definitely do blonde, it'll look stunning! Especially if it's an ombré because when your hair is up you'll still feel like you have your natural colour so it's not a shock change:) x
The Little Mermaid! OBSESSED! :)
Beauty and the Beast is my ultimate favourite! Closely followed by Cinderella. I've never really watched Pocahontas when I've been older and always kind of discounted it as not being any good. Il have to actually give it a chance haha
Definitely try it! :)
Canada is so pretty ! :)
Definitely do that hair dye, you will look great blond.
Thank you! And yes it is :))
Hi. What's your point and shoot cam? :)
I just got a call last weekend from my doctor that from my pelvic ultrasound I had done and I have endometriosis and I also have hypothyroidism. I don't know anything about endometriosis except what I've googled and it still has me confused. I'm scared I can't have kids and I'm only 23 and my husband and I have been ttc for 3 1/2 yrs with no success. I don't have any pain or anything just heavy periods and I've been on my period for 1 1/2 months yes that long! All I know is that its 2 cm is what the nurse said when she called me to tell me I have endometriosis don't have my doctor appt about my ultrasound until Oct. so I'm anxious.....
Definite Disney fan here! My fav movie is Beauty and the Beast. ❤️
As far as PCOS goes, are your periods regular? Have you ever tried charting your BBT to confirm ovulation? I have PCOS and I think you have to have a combination of symptoms to be diagnosed. In my case it was irregular periods, cysts on my ovaries and hormonal imbalance. Hopefully that means you don't actually have it! That would be another annoying thing to deal with on top of everything!
I do have pretty regular cycles! So that was the biggest reason we didn't think I had PCOS.
Ugh. We need to be best friends. I'm a Disney fanatic!! My fave is Peter Pan ;)
YES!
Cinderella!!!!!!!
You look sooo cute ❤️
have you had your amh tested? thats how my partner found out she has pcos, her amh was 55pmol/l
Ayla u have beautiful hair. Why mess with perfection?
Do you guys spent any time in your community, or with any of your friends ?
I saw in your good news video that your apt got moved up and I have been looking for the video on how that went. have you posted it?
It's going up tomorrow!
I think I am bias but we live in the most beautiful province! can you link me the cookies please?

thanks!
ayla have you looked into castor oil packs I started them recently and it can help with uterine polp, endometriosis, scared tissue and with better blood flow to the uterus. its not hard to do and very relaxing check it out :) *hugs*
to me that pcos .that my history like your and i told i have pcos but not endo
i started my period when I was 11 too..
Do you know what kind of cyst's you had? Were they just the functional fluid filled ones, or the chocolate endo cysts? I had an endo cyst removed 6 mo ago, I'm stage 3 or 4, and now I have the same tight/full feeling in my left ovary, I think it's back. Which is so freakin frustrating! What was the point of the damn surgery then :( I thnk all endo women need to unite to search for a cure. Because the way things currently are, no one seems to even work on understanding where endo is coming from. It's been around for decades and even centuries, it's been tracked back to egyptian times. Yet everyone just shrugged their shoulders when it comes to it, because women stay too quiet about their issues. Btw, has anyone heard of or tried the supplement called endovan? I hear it works miracles for endo, it is pretty pricey though!
Check out Justkelli (or itsjustkelli), she tried endovan with rave reviews.
Carmen C I know, she's the one I heard it from :) I want to see if anyone else has.
Wish adoption in Australia was easy
where is this? so pretty#
Bambi
Love Bambi!!
the reason the fall season is so short is global warming, people. :(
wait a minute....you have endometriosis.... and your doctor did not check for that during treatment? jesus christ!!!!!
