I've just found out I'm pregnant yesterday at 10dpo. I'm so happy but also terrified, we've been trying since late 2019. I still can't fully believe it
Congratulations!! I just found im 5 weeks pregnant with my first baby!! I have dealt with infertility due to PCOS but I finally have my miracle baby! I’m excited to follow your journey!
My 14mo old is from IVF & now unexpectedly 5wks pregnant with baby number 2 conceived naturally. So happy to follow along with your pregnancy journey again. Congratulations!
You can’t get a positive pregnancy test before implantation. It may be that one egg was fertilised the cycle before and then your body didn’t fully acknowledged the fertilised egg and so released another egg the next month which also got fertilised. Have you had a scan yet? Are both babies the same week in age?
@Zara Art nope. I found out exactly 8DPO, and 11DPO was when I had the implantation bleeding and cramping (first time) and a day and a half later it happened again. Yes I've had multiple scans. I'm already 28 weeks pregnant. When I had my dating scan, the babies were about 2 or 3 days-ish apart. Measuring RIGHT on time with how I experienced it all. Doctor confirmation and everything. I'd been TTC for a year at that point. I'm extremely aware of my body.
@Zara Art I can assure you, i did in fact get a positive before the actual implantation happened. Ever heard of a chemical pregnancy??? Those happen when an egg fails to implant. Women still get positives with those though, even without implantation. You absolutely can get a positive. It's just not common for everyone.
@Zara Art my twins are diamniotic dichorionic twins. The doctor says I hyper ovulated, but we won't know if ONE egg was fertilized and split early on, or if both eggs I ovulated were fertilized. I'd been seeing a fertility specialist. They tracked my ovaries and my follicles with scans. It was confirmed I hyper ovulated and release 2 eggs. But only a DNA test with my twins will show if they were 1 EARLY split egg or if they were 2 separate eggs. Implantation was also confirmed by doctor to have been at least 2 days apart. Like I said, I'm extremely aware of my body and was seeing a fertility specialist.
I knew it! You can tell when Sarah is feeling good or bad and in the last few videos she was so happy and glowing! I knew something was different! We are so happy for you. We wish you an easy pregnancy and a healthy baby! Thank you for sharing with us.
Congrats on baby #2! So happy for the both of you. I'm currently 24 weeks with baby #1. I've been binge watching all of your videos. It's really nice to have professionals on here sharing their journey and giving their advice
I am over the moon for you guys and could see the glow in your faces and sparkle in your eyes-congratulations! Can’t wait to follow your journey with baby #2! 🎉
I absolutely love Sarah's vulnerabilty. My gosh! I hate to see the ups and downs obviously, I wouldn't wish that hurt on anyone but for anyone on a journey like this seeing a doctor openly admit "it was hard for me to wait against better judgement" "I tested early and often" etc. makes the average person feel less guilty for that human quality. We are all human and sometimes its hard in a season like this to take all of a doctor's advice and sometimes there's an immense amount of guilt of being anxious and failing to fight the feeling. In this society her honesty is refreshing and helpful. Congrats guys!!!
Congratulations! Although I actually waited until I was told by my IVF doctor. Just to avoid disappointment. So, I saved myself some nerves and got a super positive test day 10 after transfer)
Congrats! Don't feel crazy- I feel like anyone that's gone through a miscarriage or infertility always tests way too early but that's ok! I am due with my rainbow baby in a couple weeks and I tested positive at 9dpo and I waited until 10dpo to tell hubby.
You guys deserve to have way more subscribers than you do. Your videos are so down to earth, yet super informative. Also love the disclaimer at the end. Congrats on baby #2.
It's comforting to know that we're not The only ones that drive ourselves crazy during this kind of process! I'm usually usually over analyzing every single little symptom I have but but I usually try not to test before 12 days post ovulation because I don't want that heartbreak of scenes a faint line or thinking I do and thinking that I'm pregnant and then finding out that I'm actually not a couple days later I would rather just take the pain of waiting a couple more days, And knowing whatever answer I get is the correct one...
Yay for baby number 2!! My first pregnancy symptoms were a runny nose, migraine, and carpel tunnel flare up. I also had one random bout of nausea that week around lunch time.
I didn't test out my trigger but I also tested two days post transfer and it was obviously negative lol. 4dpt I took another test (I was using the wondfo ones because I didn't want to "waste" my FRERs) and it was a faint line, my FIRST EVER positive, because we also dealt with male factor infertility. I ordered my own blood test for 8dpt because I was also anxious and it was 145. Then my clinic started their beta tests at 10dpt and it was 303. 😄 I'm now 33 weeks with my first baby all thanks to IVF. So excited for you, good luck on this journey.
Congratulations! When we did IVF, I started testing 3 days post-transfer. Faint, faint positive that I thought was probably from the trigger shot. I tested every day until the blood draw, watching that line get darker and darker 😁 I'm so glad it worked for you on the first transfer! -I also thought after the successful transfer that I was "just pregnant", but every doctor's appointment I go in for, I learn about new things that are higher risk due to having conceived through IVF. There is certainly more testing and follow-up care with an IVF pregnancy, at least where I live.
Yay! Now we're pregnant together xD I knew it bc Sarah was suddenly out of breath again in the videos! Unrelated, I'll have to watch the morning sickness vid again, but I don't remember unisom being recommended. My Dr suggested it and omg I've gone from vomiting 8 times in a day to barely any nausea with a combo of unisom and "dramamine" ginger chews. Anyway, congrats again!!
Congratulations! I can identify with this so much. I got my positive with my first baby 10dpo after trying for 5 years and got my positive on my second baby 9dpo after an additional 2 years of trying so I know the struggle after spending the better part of a decade doing this. The thing is, no matter how much I said I wasn't gonna test early every month it was like I was powerless to stop it. I also got betas done way to early and had to retest both times as they were there but under 20. On my second I felt like I knew, I got a very unique cramping that I had with my first so when I tested with one of the cheap dip sticks and it was negative I was like nope, I retested with the first response and got my faint line and now I'm 37 weeks lol. Like someone else said though, it's comforting to know that even though you are an ob and know it's not recommended, you feel the same compulsion to test early as the rest of us! I wish you guys the best on this journey and thank you for posting such a relatable video!
Congratulations! I got a positive test with the strips on 8DPO, which was quite faint, then I ran to buy a first response electronic test and got a "positive" result! Now I am at 7 weeks and fingers-crossed for the best!
I also tested every morning for about 7 days after 8DPO just to see if the positive line got darker every day. The final home test I did was at 21DPO with clear blue to see if I could get a "3 weeks+" sign, and I did!
Congratulations love! ❤ what’s DPO? I’m asking everybody because I don’t understand it. Also I think I could be testing too early because my supposed period was supposed to come 10th September but I came on the 9th September a day before my expected period. I had bleeding for 3 days very light brown ish type bit of cramping. It stopped after that absolutely nothing!
@@selwa03 Hi, DPO means days after ovulation. Normally, if you have a 28 days cycle then the ovulation day will be on the 14th day after the first day of period, if your cycle is 30 days, the ovulation is 16th.. I don't have a very stable cycle (it can be 30 to 35 days) so I used ovulation strips to track my ovulation. In your case, if your period is supposed to come on Sep 10th but you still cannot get a positive sign on Sep 18th, then most likely you are not pregnant. If you cannot be so sure, maybe you can test again tomorrow morning, since morning urine normally has the highest concentration of HCG. I would also recommend you to talk to your family doctor or OB and see if you can get a blood test.
@@yang3625 hi! Thanks for replying back. My regular cycle is 28 days and I start ovulating tomorrow so I’m going to try this cycle and wish me luck I’ve been trying to conceive now for about 6 months 🙏🏼🥺I tested this morning again and still BFN! Yes I have my family and close friends also my husband all very supportive. Fingers crossed I get my BFP soon🤞🏽
Aww congrats guys! And yep I totally tested on 2dpt and was completely crushed when it was stark negative. I got the faintest of squinters on 4dpt (which was my birthday) last year and a very stark clear BPF 6dpt. My baby girl's first transferversary is this month. It was 100% all worth it and I know it will be for you guys, too.
I took the First Response early test 4 days before my missed period (which the box said was in the correct window) and got a negative. Cut to 4 days later and my period didn't come. So I used a Dollar Tree test. BAM, positive.
Congratulations, m so happy for you. I could see how Sarah cldnt hold bck her excitement and it showed all over her. I know the feeling, it also took me time to get pregnant with my 3rd baby. You hv every right to be happy. Wishing you all a blessed journey.
I am so excited for you guys!!! Fellow IVF mama here and I know how exciting this time is. And I am so happy it worked the first round too! Took us 4! So much baby dust on your growing family ❤
I so appreciate you posting your early positive strips. It is so helpful to see in evaluating my own excitement in seeing a line that is there or not there.
Ahhhh congratulations!!!!!! I’m so happy for you!! I have been following along on your RUclips journey from the beginning. On baby #1 our pregnancies were aligned almost down to the week, and I’m now 5 weeks pregnant again! I’m so excited to see your pregnancy journey this time around! Also, I completely relate to the neurotic test taking… I’m STILL taking tests to make sure the lines are getting darker. 😂 congratulations again you guys!!!
I found out at 2 week 6 days when I went to planned parenthood & they did an ultrasound there wasn't nothing in there now I'm 15 weeks with a baby girl ... I bought a 89 cent test from Walmart
I'm 13 dpo today and had a negative home test. Our fifth IVF cycle, fourth embryo transfer. I'm afraid this one isn't it either. I never get any frozen embryos and they tend to transfer mine at 3dpo as they seem to stop developing in the lab after. Having my blood tested in 4 days but I kind of lost hope. Greetings from Croatia, your channel has helped me a lot during this time.
Oh my God! 🎉I am literally crying my eyes out in happiness for you guys!!!! I didn’t even do that for my own baby! I love you guys. I watched you through my first pregnancy. Praying so hard that baby stays strong and continues to grow! Omg happy tears!!! This is the best news all week! ❤😢😊
I immediately paused the video and went to the comments! I just had to know!! I’m so excited for you guys. I’m still trying for #2, this is my 5th month trying, and this is the month I got pregnant with my daughter after we started trying. So I’m really hoping this is my month too! Just have to wait another week and a half. I want to test early, and have some tests from Amazon, but I am so nervous because I want this to be my month! I’m so excited for you guys! Congratulations!!
I mostly had my regular pre-period symptoms, but maybe more than usual. I vomited at 9DPO, that's when I really had an inkling! But I didn't dare test until 12DPO since I didn't want to be disappointed (tried for 6 months), and it was super positive! Now almost 11 weeks! Congratulations to you! Will be fun to follow along :D
Hi! Congratulations to you love! What is DPO? I have regular period cycles 28 days. I had bleeding on the 9th but my period was due on the 10th? It lasted for 3 days I tested for pregnancy it said negative. I tested again today 18th September still negative? Am I testing too early or was it just my period?
@@selwa03 @ccbenzi Thanks! DPO stands for Days Past Ovulation, which you can confirm by taking your basal body temperature. Hard to say without any more info, but you could have just had a light period? I doubt it was implantation bleeding if you're this far past your expected period and still testing negative. Still not impossible though! But I would think you're due to ovulate any day now, so I'd make sure to try again. Good luck!
@@CarolineCarnivorous no worries! Yes I’m due to ovulate tomorrow actually. Thanks 🙏🏼❤️wish me luck I’m trying to conceive I’ve been trying for 6 months now 😊
Woo-hoo! Congratulations!!! We just had our first chemical pregnancy this past week so seeing this video cheered me up :) :) :) We wish you a smooth and healthy pregnancy.
Congratulations! 🥳🎉 I am really happy to hear that. I can't wait to watch the videos about the journey. When I got pregnant the second time, I had the worst bloating ever, so the next morning I tested and it was so so thin, but I was also shocked 😅 I did not expect that symptom. 😄
Thank you SO MUCH and Congratulations to you on your rainbow baby. We are sending wishes for a smooth and healthy pregnancy. Send all the tips for wrangling more than one at a time!! Lol
I'm so happy for you guys!! Congratulations 👏🏻 I just found out (yesterday) I'm also expecting a second baby ☺️ can't wait to have a full house! Will love to know when is you due date!!
We just went through the same rollercoaster of squinter positive negative except unfortunately i got my period the next day. We just had a miscarriage last month so we’re trying again. This will be our first baby and our rainbow 🌈
Yay! Congratulations! I've been watching your channel since the beginning of my pregnancy and now postpartum with my 5 month old. I can't wait to watch your journey with baby #2!
Congratulations guys!! That was a serious roller coaster for a few minutes there!! Can't wait to follow baby #2's journey! I'm 24w+4d with baby #1 and was told I will definitely have a csection, any good advice for a first timer who is VERY nervous about a csection?
Aww thank you so much! And congrats to you too!! You’re over halfway there!! As for advice-check out our video on what to expect with a c-section: ruclips.net/video/Gl_PzPraWS8/видео.html !! And keep asking lots of questions, getting to know your OB so you feel comfortable and confident with the plan!! C-sections are one of the most common surgeries done in the US every single day, but the more you know what to expect ahead of time, the better!! Wishing you a smooth rest of your pregnancy!!
hi! i’m also a first time mom, i had my baby a month ago via c section. it was the most calm, chill experience i’ve had and so far recovery has been easy for me. it’s really not as scary as it sounds, and since you already know you’ll be having one/it’s a planned one, it will make the experience that much easier for you. i would 100% do it all over again. i send you good wishes for the rest of your journey, and congratulations on your first baby! it’s a wonderful experience overall!
@@spac3c0ast Thank you for this! I am hoping that since it's planned it helps a little. We dealt with 10 years of infertility before getting pregnant successfully so I'm just ready for my little boy to be here with us whatever way that has to happen!
I found out 6 days before my missed period, I was feeling sick for 4 days already and when I took the test was no doubt a positive. But I ovulated earlier that month so when I took the test I was 11 days past ovulation.
We are so happy about the good news, can’t wait Wednesday to find out. Congratulations!!! We saw that in the beginning of the video you guys are so happy, You guys can relax now and all the best.
Listening to how out of breath and stuffy Sarah was throughout this video, I had a feeling before they actually said so. ❤❤❤ congrats you guys! So happy for you!
Hi! I love your videos so much! But I have a question/video idea. I have endometriosis and polycystic ovaries, and I only have a period 2-5 times per year, so its really hard for me to track ovulation. Would you be willing to make a video about TTC with irregular cycles? I’d love to hear about both at home options and medication options for improving chances of conception for people like me. I can’t find much information about it anywhere! When I look it up, I just hear about IVF. I’d really really appreciate hearing about other options and I’m sure other women and families feel the same way! Thanks so so much!
Congratulations! I could tell because you were both smiling so much in this video! My husband and I are also facing secondary infertility. I’m hoping we won’t have to do IVF because of cost but it’s so nice to see a success story. Thanks for sharing.
you guys are always pregnant when i might be 😅 last year when i was looking at these videos you were expecting your first! congratulations! i lost mine last year unfortunately but i’m back again in my 2ww feeling good. thanks for all your help!
Congratulations to you both on getting pregnant with baby #2! 🎉 Weird question for you: You mentioned that you recorded your pregnancy test reveal after each TWW, just in case you got a BFP. Did you keep those recordings, and would you consider releasing a compilation of them? (IG may be a more appropriate vehicle than RUclips for something like that.) I’ve enjoyed following your IVF journey, and what you’ve done to educate us on and normalize fertility issues is AMAZING. ❤
Progesterone is a pro-gestation hormone...wowzers my mind is blown!! I've studied Biology and am in med school myself and never caught that. Thanks docs! =)
Thank you for being honest about taking home pregnancy tests like a nutbag. I just had my 5-day blastocyst embryo transfer on 9/20/23 and tested yesterday on 9/22/23 which wasn’t even a full 2 days. Of course I cried like a deranged woman. I’m trying so hard not to torture myself today. Your video explained things more throughly for me than my nurse has explained. She was intentionally avoiding my questions to dissuade me from doing home pregnancy tests but reality is many of us cope with anxiety by taking stupid home pregnancy tests which can be oddly comforting and also disturbing at the same time. I find out truth on 10/02/23 when doctors office will do the blood test. I have 2 more pregnancy test strips in my drawer lol 😂
Congratulations! What a beautiful gift of baby #2.. so excited for you all and to follow this journey as well! Also thank you for being so honest about crazy testing as well it makes the rest of us feel a lot better about it 😅
Congratulations!!!! It must have been those fries 😉 I found out the ivf was successful in hospital where i got committed due to ovarian hyperstimulation 😬 Getting ill got me hoping for a positive, and it got confirmed with a blood test, but even after that i had to take a home test in the hospital bathroom just to see those two long awaited lines 😛 Best of luck to you in your pregnancy🤞❤️
Congrats! Haha, Sarah, you're so cute, I love your enthusiasm in talking about your field of expertise. Thanks to both of you for sharing your real feelings about your journey. Looking forward to seeing what comes next!
Congratulations!!!!!!! 🎉🥳🎉🥳 I have been following you for about a year now and I just couldn't be happier for you 🔥 thank you for sharing all your knowledge with us!! I watched so religiously while I was pregnant, and your videos about breastfeeding really helped me with that part of my journey. We will probably start trying for baby number two in about 6 more months. It's so fun to have you guys basically in tandem with our journey.
Ahhh making myself wait until tomorrow morning to test (~12 dpo, got my first BFP for my daughter the morning of 12 dpo). Trying not to be too hopeful but I really really hope it's positive 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Twin implantation question: how far apart time wise is normal/average implantation of both twins? Same time? Hours apart? Days apart? Could one implant on 7dpo and the other on 8 or 9dpo?
Omg, I wasn't expecting the ending 🥰 I've been here since the beginning and before you guys had Cece and now #2! Congratulations! Again, I'm so thankful for your videos because I was pregnant with my 1st while watching your beautiful journey and we plan for #2 but a year from now. Praying for a successful pregnancy to you and all the mommies 🙏❤️
I took a test the evening of 7dpo with a first response and got the faintest positive the next morning more visible but still faint. That was the earliest I’ve ever got a positive test.
Congratulations! So happy for you both especially after all you went through. Could you do a video on when to start ttc for #2 when someone has had a long journey to #1 (2 years, PCOS, miscarriage, IUIs) and is approaching 40. Including when you might need to stop breastfeeding in order to facilitate hormones resetting for #2. I want to bf for as long as possible but don’t want to lessen my chances of another healthy pregnancy. Thanks so much for all your great info, I’ve been watching since the beginning :)
Omg yay congrats !! We are trying for our second baby so excited!! I've been tracking with Mira Fertility Monitor and my pharmacist recently told me that Mom Med pregnancy tests are in the NY Times rated as sensitive as First Response pregnancy test so I bought a box and tried it out I was impressed they definitely work very accurate but I do get First Response pregnancy tests for free since my Doctor Office only uses First Response pregnancy tests and I get 20 per month for free but the Mom Med pregnancy test is good for people who are trying to save and you want to test daily
Awwe I am so happy for you and thank you for explaining the implantation process after embryo-transfer! I am 48, currently 37 weeks pregnant first mom to be after my first DE transfer done in Barcelona, Spain on Jan 25. I waited until 10 days post transfer for the beta-test at clinic. I will always remember the call from the nurse revealing the good news:) Cant wait to meet my miracle son soon! Dr.Sarah please be gentle on yourself and do not work too much (I may have adopted the balanced work-family life style a bit too much in the Mediterranean:-)
Oh my goodness congratulations!!! After everything you had to go through, I cannot imagine the relief and happiness you must be feeling. I hope you have an incredibly smooth and happy pregnancy.
I’m pregnant with my first baby. I’m trying to figure out what to have in case of an emergency & was wondering if you have a first aid kit for your baby? If you do what is in your kit?
Started but then skipped the rest of the video cause felt I knew this info. Didn't twig was the announcement video! (Until just saw your most recent journey update). Big congratulations! 😊🥳💜
I got a positive test using first response 5 days before my missed period, had that confirmed via blood test a day later I'm now 8 weeks, I'm going for my first scan in a week I'm so nervous, I've had 4 miscarriages this year already
I've just found out I'm pregnant yesterday at 10dpo. I'm so happy but also terrified, we've been trying since late 2019. I still can't fully believe it
Congratulations ❤
Congratulations ❤
Congratulations ❤
CONGRATULATIONS!!! I wish you a wonderful pregnancy experience, smooth delivery, and a lifetime of happiness with your beautiful little one 🥰
Congratulations
Congratulations!! I just found im 5 weeks pregnant with my first baby!! I have dealt with infertility due to PCOS but I finally have my miracle baby! I’m excited to follow your journey!
Congratulations. I m trying from 4 years really desperate for that good news
My 14mo old is from IVF & now unexpectedly 5wks pregnant with baby number 2 conceived naturally. So happy to follow along with your pregnancy journey again. Congratulations!
Just out of curiosity how old are you? I'm asking because I'm 33 and have heard it could be harder to get pregnant naturally
I found out I was pregnant like 4 days before implantation.
I implanted twice. Pregnant with twins 🥰
Wow never heard of such a situation

I don't have a very stable cycle (it can be 30 to 35 days) so I used ovulation strips to track my ovulation. In your case, if your period is supposed to come on Sep 10th but you still cannot get a positive sign on Sep 18th, then most likely you are not pregnant. If you cannot be so sure, maybe you can test again tomorrow morning, since morning urine normally has the highest concentration of HCG. I would also recommend you to talk to your family doctor or OB and see if you can get a blood test.
@@yang3625 hi! Thanks for replying back. My regular cycle is 28 days and I start ovulating tomorrow so I’m going to try this cycle and wish me luck I’ve been trying to conceive now for about 6 months 🙏🏼🥺I tested this morning again and still BFN! Yes I have my family and close friends also my husband all very supportive. Fingers crossed I get my BFP soon🤞🏽
@@yang3625 forgot to mention I will be getting a blood test tomorrow and I’ll let you know the results 👍🏼thanks for your all your help and advice ❤️
Congrats! 👏 I'm also pregnant with baby #2 right now, but my baby #1 is 13 years old already. It took us awhile, but now it's even more exciting.
Woow congratulations 🎉how was your discharge in your early pregnancy
Aww congrats guys! And yep I totally tested on 2dpt and was completely crushed when it was stark negative. I got the faintest of squinters on 4dpt (which was my birthday) last year and a very stark clear BPF 6dpt. My baby girl's first transferversary is this month. It was 100% all worth it and I know it will be for you guys, too.
4 days post transition? does it mean 4 days after implantation? can you make it clear please? thank you
@user-fx6ys6yd6m DPT stands for days past transfer. So 4 DPT would be 4 days after an embryo transfer.
@@LauraAnn1980 did you got positive Pregnancy test 6 DPO ??
I took the First Response early test 4 days before my missed period (which the box said was in the correct window) and got a negative. Cut to 4 days later and my period didn't come. So I used a Dollar Tree test. BAM, positive.
Congratulations, m so happy for you. I could see how Sarah cldnt hold bck her excitement and it showed all over her. I know the feeling, it also took me time to get pregnant with my 3rd baby. You hv every right to be happy. Wishing you all a blessed journey.
I am so excited for you guys!!! Fellow IVF mama here and I know how exciting this time is. And I am so happy it worked the first round too! Took us 4! So much baby dust on your growing family ❤
I so appreciate you posting your early positive strips. It is so helpful to see in evaluating my own excitement in seeing a line that is there or not there.
Ahhhh congratulations!!!!!! I’m so happy for you!! I have been following along on your RUclips journey from the beginning. On baby #1 our pregnancies were aligned almost down to the week, and I’m now 5 weeks pregnant again! I’m so excited to see your pregnancy journey this time around! Also, I completely relate to the neurotic test taking… I’m STILL taking tests to make sure the lines are getting darker. 😂 congratulations again you guys!!!
I found out at 2 week 6 days when I went to planned parenthood & they did an ultrasound there wasn't nothing in there now I'm 15 weeks with a baby girl ... I bought a 89 cent test from Walmart
Congrats to you!! Baby girls are so fun! Hope your pregnancy is going well!!
Congrats! 😍 Got my pregnancy positive at 9dpo with a test strip AND digital. I know for sure it was 9dpo bc I take my basal body temperature.
I'm 13 dpo today and had a negative home test. Our fifth IVF cycle, fourth embryo transfer. I'm afraid this one isn't it either. I never get any frozen embryos and they tend to transfer mine at 3dpo as they seem to stop developing in the lab after. Having my blood tested in 4 days but I kind of lost hope. Greetings from Croatia, your channel has helped me a lot during this time.
CONGRATS YALL!!!!! Im so happy for you guys and cant wait to follow this journey!
Awwwh I could tell right away! Sarah was just trying to hold back her happiness the whole time❤️congratulations you guys !
I got a faint positive between days 10-11 which grew stronger until finally a strong line appeared on day 14
Oh my God! 🎉I am literally crying my eyes out in happiness for you guys!!!! I didn’t even do that for my own baby! I love you guys. I watched you through my first pregnancy. Praying so hard that baby stays strong and continues to grow! Omg happy tears!!! This is the best news all week! ❤😢😊
I immediately paused the video and went to the comments! I just had to know!! I’m so excited for you guys. I’m still trying for #2, this is my 5th month trying, and this is the month I got pregnant with my daughter after we started trying. So I’m really hoping this is my month too! Just have to wait another week and a half. I want to test early, and have some tests from Amazon, but I am so nervous because I want this to be my month!
I’m so excited for you guys! Congratulations!!
I mostly had my regular pre-period symptoms, but maybe more than usual. I vomited at 9DPO, that's when I really had an inkling! But I didn't dare test until 12DPO since I didn't want to be disappointed (tried for 6 months), and it was super positive! Now almost 11 weeks! Congratulations to you! Will be fun to follow along :D
Hi! Congratulations to you love! What is DPO? I have regular period cycles 28 days. I had bleeding on the 9th but my period was due on the 10th? It lasted for 3 days I tested for pregnancy it said negative. I tested again today 18th September still negative? Am I testing too early or was it just my period?
I tested on the 13th & 18th September
@@selwa03 @ccbenzi Thanks! DPO stands for Days Past Ovulation, which you can confirm by taking your basal body temperature. Hard to say without any more info, but you could have just had a light period? I doubt it was implantation bleeding if you're this far past your expected period and still testing negative. Still not impossible though! But I would think you're due to ovulate any day now, so I'd make sure to try again. Good luck!
@@CarolineCarnivorous no worries! Yes I’m due to ovulate tomorrow actually. Thanks 🙏🏼❤️wish me luck I’m trying to conceive I’ve been trying for 6 months now 😊
@@selwa03 Good luck! Hope 6 months is when it finally sticks for you too!
Woo-hoo! Congratulations!!!
We just had our first chemical pregnancy this past week so seeing this video cheered me up :) :) :) We wish you a smooth and healthy pregnancy.
Yay congrats! We’re trying for our second baby as well, so this is great timing. Thank you!
Congratulations! 🥳🎉
I am really happy to hear that. I can't wait to watch the videos about the journey.
When I got pregnant the second time, I had the worst bloating ever, so the next morning I tested and it was so so thin, but I was also shocked 😅 I did not expect that symptom. 😄
Congratulations I am due with baby 4 after a miscarriage so excited to follow along
Thank you SO MUCH and Congratulations to you on your rainbow baby. We are sending wishes for a smooth and healthy pregnancy. Send all the tips for wrangling more than one at a time!! Lol
@@TheDoctorsBjorkman thank you sadly so far I have thyriod issues so I am high risk now maybe you can make a video on that?
I'm so happy for you guys!! Congratulations 👏🏻
I just found out (yesterday) I'm also expecting a second baby ☺️ can't wait to have a full house!
Will love to know when is you due date!!
I got my positive 5 days post transfer too! Congratulations!
We just went through the same rollercoaster of squinter positive negative except unfortunately i got my period the next day. We just had a miscarriage last month so we’re trying again. This will be our first baby and our rainbow 🌈
Yay! Congratulations! I've been watching your channel since the beginning of my pregnancy and now postpartum with my 5 month old. I can't wait to watch your journey with baby #2!
i literally teared when you mentioned the first negative blood test then you got me!!! such a great storyteller 😂 congratulations ❤❤❤❤
I wanted to leave a comment. Because. I love, your love. Love your knowledge, and your genuine nature that comes across so clearly on RUclips.
Congratulations guys!! That was a serious roller coaster for a few minutes there!! Can't wait to follow baby #2's journey! I'm 24w+4d with baby #1 and was told I will definitely have a csection, any good advice for a first timer who is VERY nervous about a csection?
Aww thank you so much! And congrats to you too!! You’re over halfway there!! As for advice-check out our video on what to expect with a c-section: ruclips.net/video/Gl_PzPraWS8/видео.html !! And keep asking lots of questions, getting to know your OB so you feel comfortable and confident with the plan!! C-sections are one of the most common surgeries done in the US every single day, but the more you know what to expect ahead of time, the better!! Wishing you a smooth rest of your pregnancy!!
@@TheDoctorsBjorkman heading to the video now! Thank you!!
hi! i’m also a first time mom, i had my baby a month ago via c section. it was the most calm, chill experience i’ve had and so far recovery has been easy for me. it’s really not as scary as it sounds, and since you already know you’ll be having one/it’s a planned one, it will make the experience that much easier for you. i would 100% do it all over again. i send you good wishes for the rest of your journey, and congratulations on your first baby! it’s a wonderful experience overall!
@@spac3c0ast Thank you for this! I am hoping that since it's planned it helps a little. We dealt with 10 years of infertility before getting pregnant successfully so I'm just ready for my little boy to be here with us whatever way that has to happen!
I found out 6 days before my missed period, I was feeling sick for 4 days already and when I took the test was no doubt a positive. But I ovulated earlier that month so when I took the test I was 11 days past ovulation.
We are so happy about the good news, can’t wait Wednesday to find out.
Congratulations!!!
We saw that in the beginning of the video you guys are so happy,
You guys can relax now and all the best.
Listening to how out of breath and stuffy Sarah was throughout this video, I had a feeling before they actually said so. ❤❤❤ congrats you guys! So happy for you!
Yayyyyyy!!! Love this. God bless you guys. I found your channel when I found out I was pregnant with my now 1 yr old. Can’t wait to see more 💕
Yaaay! Congratulations!! ♥️ Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy and baby!!
Hi! I love your videos so much! But I have a question/video idea. I have endometriosis and polycystic ovaries, and I only have a period 2-5 times per year, so its really hard for me to track ovulation. Would you be willing to make a video about TTC with irregular cycles? I’d love to hear about both at home options and medication options for improving chances of conception for people like me. I can’t find much information about it anywhere! When I look it up, I just hear about IVF. I’d really really appreciate hearing about other options and I’m sure other women and families feel the same way! Thanks so so much!
Congratulations! I could tell because you were both smiling so much in this video! My husband and I are also facing secondary infertility. I’m hoping we won’t have to do IVF because of cost but it’s so nice to see a success story. Thanks for sharing.
you guys are always pregnant when i might be 😅 last year when i was looking at these videos you were expecting your first! congratulations! i lost mine last year unfortunately but i’m back again in my 2ww feeling good. thanks for all your help!
Congratulations 🎉 so happy for you both!
Thank you so so much! We are so excited. :)
Congratulations to you both on getting pregnant with baby #2! 🎉
Weird question for you: You mentioned that you recorded your pregnancy test reveal after each TWW, just in case you got a BFP. Did you keep those recordings, and would you consider releasing a compilation of them? (IG may be a more appropriate vehicle than RUclips for something like that.) I’ve enjoyed following your IVF journey, and what you’ve done to educate us on and normalize fertility issues is AMAZING. ❤
Progesterone is a pro-gestation hormone...wowzers my mind is blown!! I've studied Biology and am in med school myself and never caught that. Thanks docs! =)
Aww and Baby Number Two!!! Congratulations, I'm so happy for you!!
Congratulations! So happy for you and can't wait to follow more of your journey and this channel.
Thank you for being honest about taking home pregnancy tests like a nutbag. I just had my 5-day blastocyst embryo transfer on 9/20/23 and tested yesterday on 9/22/23 which wasn’t even a full 2 days. Of course I cried like a deranged woman. I’m trying so hard not to torture myself today. Your video explained things more throughly for me than my nurse has explained. She was intentionally avoiding my questions to dissuade me from doing home pregnancy tests but reality is many of us cope with anxiety by taking stupid home pregnancy tests which can be oddly comforting and also disturbing at the same time. I find out truth on 10/02/23 when doctors office will do the blood test. I have 2 more pregnancy test strips in my drawer lol 😂
Congratulations! What a beautiful gift of baby #2.. so excited for you all and to follow this journey as well! Also thank you for being so honest about crazy testing as well it makes the rest of us feel a lot better about it 😅
Congratulations to both of you, happy pregnancy journey to you. So happy for your
Congratulations!!!! It must have been those fries 😉
I found out the ivf was successful in hospital where i got committed due to ovarian hyperstimulation 😬
Getting ill got me hoping for a positive, and it got confirmed with a blood test, but even after that i had to take a home test in the hospital bathroom just to see those two long awaited lines 😛
Best of luck to you in your pregnancy🤞❤️
Congrats! Haha, Sarah, you're so cute, I love your enthusiasm in talking about your field of expertise. Thanks to both of you for sharing your real feelings about your journey. Looking forward to seeing what comes next!
Congratulations!!!!!!! 🎉🥳🎉🥳 I have been following you for about a year now and I just couldn't be happier for you 🔥 thank you for sharing all your knowledge with us!! I watched so religiously while I was pregnant, and your videos about breastfeeding really helped me with that part of my journey. We will probably start trying for baby number two in about 6 more months. It's so fun to have you guys basically in tandem with our journey.
Congratulations! So excited for y’all and praying over baby #2!
Ahhh making myself wait until tomorrow morning to test (~12 dpo, got my first BFP for my daughter the morning of 12 dpo). Trying not to be too hopeful but I really really hope it's positive 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I was smiling so much for you!!!!!!
I am also a doctor and going through IUI now :)
Yayyy! Congratulations!! So happy for you guys!
Twin implantation question: how far apart time wise is normal/average implantation of both twins? Same time? Hours apart? Days apart? Could one implant on 7dpo and the other on 8 or 9dpo?
Congratulations! So many blessings from Mexico to you. Lots of hugs and love!
Found out 9dpo for first pregnancy and now pregnant with baby #2, found out at 8dpo!!!!
Omg, I wasn't expecting the ending 🥰 I've been here since the beginning and before you guys had Cece and now #2! Congratulations! Again, I'm so thankful for your videos because I was pregnant with my 1st while watching your beautiful journey and we plan for #2 but a year from now. Praying for a successful pregnancy to you and all the mommies 🙏❤️
Congratulations to you both..still waiting for my embryo transfer at the end of Sept🤩 hoping for a good news too
I took a test the evening of 7dpo with a first response and got the faintest positive the next morning more visible but still faint. That was the earliest I’ve ever got a positive test.
Yessss! And that is why I always tested so darn early-cause every once in a while people get them that early!!
@@TheDoctorsBjorkman this is my 6th pregnancy, 4th successful pregnancy, and all the others have been either 10 or on 11 dpo
Congrats to you all. So happy for you both!
Congratulations 🎊🎉🎈 so happy for you guys! I love watching your videos so cute and informational without being pushy!
Congrats! I'm glad your treatment worked.
Congratulations! So happy for you both especially after all you went through. Could you do a video on when to start ttc for #2 when someone has had a long journey to #1 (2 years, PCOS, miscarriage, IUIs) and is approaching 40. Including when you might need to stop breastfeeding in order to facilitate hormones resetting for #2. I want to bf for as long as possible but don’t want to lessen my chances of another healthy pregnancy. Thanks so much for all your great info, I’ve been watching since the beginning :)
Omg yay congrats !! We are trying for our second baby so excited!! I've been tracking with Mira Fertility Monitor and my pharmacist recently told me that Mom Med pregnancy tests are in the NY Times rated as sensitive as First Response pregnancy test so I bought a box and tried it out I was impressed they definitely work very accurate but I do get First Response pregnancy tests for free since my Doctor Office only uses First Response pregnancy tests and I get 20 per month for free but the Mom Med pregnancy test is good for people who are trying to save and you want to test daily
Congratulations! It’s funny how a doctor also becomes a crazy patient! 😅 God Bless your pregnancy ❤
Lol. It is human nature 😅
I’ve been waiting for this video! 😝 I’m so happy for y’all! I’m ready to be next. 🤞🏼
Awwe I am so happy for you and thank you for explaining the implantation process after embryo-transfer! I am 48, currently 37 weeks pregnant first mom to be after my first DE transfer done in Barcelona, Spain on Jan 25. I waited until 10 days post transfer for the beta-test at clinic. I will always remember the call from the nurse revealing the good news:) Cant wait to meet my miracle son soon! Dr.Sarah please be gentle on yourself and do not work too much (I may have adopted the balanced work-family life style a bit too much in the Mediterranean:-)
I took 13 home tests after my transfer, starting on day 8. All of them positive, except two that were defective (no control line).
Oh my goodness congratulations!!! After everything you had to go through, I cannot imagine the relief and happiness you must be feeling. I hope you have an incredibly smooth and happy pregnancy.
My last pregnancy I implanted on day 4 I know because I felt the pains and had the spotting a 8 I tested positive
So so happy for you!!! Congratulations 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Oh my gosh congratulations!!! 🎉 crazy that with our daughters were pregnant same time and now again 😂
Thank you and CONGRATS to you too! Here’s hoping the second one is just as fun as the first. :)
Congratulations!!!! Was not expecting a pregnancy announcement here, I love it!
I’m pregnant with my first baby. I’m trying to figure out what to have in case of an emergency & was wondering if you have a first aid kit for your baby? If you do what is in your kit?
You guys make me cry
So happy for you
Started but then skipped the rest of the video cause felt I knew this info. Didn't twig was the announcement video! (Until just saw your most recent journey update). Big congratulations! 😊🥳💜
I got a positive test using first response 5 days before my missed period, had that confirmed via blood test a day later I'm now 8 weeks, I'm going for my first scan in a week I'm so nervous, I've had 4 miscarriages this year already
Congrats!!! I’m so happy for y’all!! 🥹
I didn't realize y'all were still making videos after baby. Pleasant surprise!! 💖
Aaah congrats!!! I totally knew it after the last video and all the smiles 🥰🥰🥰
Congratulations! Absolutely delighted for you guys ❤
Congratulations!!! Happy for you guys!!🤍
Congratulations 🎉!!! So super excited for you guys. I love watching you guys videos. Many blessings to you guys.
Thank you thank you! It means a lot to us and we are glad you are here with us on the journey!
Yay!!! Congratulations! I could tell. I hope I get great news too. I just love you two.
Congratulations!!! This was a very timely video.
