Omg SAME. I usually go to the gym Wednesday mornings and I’m so on this boat that even my trainer asks how their IVF is going and if I cried the night before. 😂
We got our Christmas miracle yesterday after four years of riding the foster care system for our three girls we got to officially adopt them! Praying for your Christmas miracle this week!! 🙏🏻 And prayers for peace and comfort if it’s not time ❤️ Growing your family can be the hardest journey, but oh so worth the struggles ❤️
Stick baby stick! 🤞❤️🍪 I’m currently pregnant and assuming that we are now pregnant at the same time until proven otherwise. The power of positive thinking!!!
Awwwe, I am excited for you. Sending prayers for all mommies and daddies to be no matter if the baby is naturally created or if their is help from medical professionals. It’s an exciting time.
Please remember that every person and every pregnancy is different. You are going to be a WONDERFUL mommy and Grant will be a WONDERFUL daddy too. Also I can hardly wait to find out BUT I don't want to know until YOU are ready.
I have one biological and 2 adopted and I will tell you that they are the same. A child is a blessing any way they come to you so like Grant said you will be parents one way or another and it will be amazing. God bless.
I had no pre-test symptoms and I was hyper aware and worried about what that meant. I ended up having a very easy, healthy pregnancy. I pray you have the very best experience ♥️
I’m an IVF baby, 25 years old, and my mom told me she had to lay down with like pillows propped up under her pelvis for a half day so the egg wouldn’t roll out 😂 so much has changed since then. It been so cool to see your journey and compare it to what I know of mine. They also found out they were pregnant with me before Christmas, my birthday is at the end of August, a Virgo baby 😊
Serious question, but do you feel any adverse health effects? I'm always curious about the long-term effects of am embryo that's been growing in a tissue culture environment in the lab...
@@sheldoncooper0 no adverse effects. It actually has the opposite effect, I was determined to be superior to like 11 other embryos and successfully implanted. IVF babies account for approximately 2% of the population born today in the United States so I assure you that it’s impossible to tell the difference between us and people born traditionally. We tend to be more successful in many aspects of our lives and very healthy but that is typically due to coming from families that can afford to pay for IVF and also genetic testing on embryos. I would have been flagged potentially if I had genes that predispose me to cancers and other genetic conditions that could seriously impact my health or even lead to a completely nonviable pregnancy. Also, I know you’re “curious” but your question came off pretty rude so maybe consider that the next time when asking such sensitive questions if you are genuinely curious.
@@geasty8862 I know that you are sensitive, but your statement came across as very rude. Next time, when you want to give feedback, maybe try and be more positive and constructive?
@@sheldoncooper0 lol I’m not positive? You are the one “questioning” if I was born defective in some way. I explained that its quite the opposite :) girl bye!
@@geasty8862 So we are no longer allowed to ask questions? I asked if you experienced anything unsual in regards to health... The is how health care works, doctors will ask these questions and the responses from many people allow us to retrospectively look back i.e. epidemilogy.I didn't say you were defective - but mist try putting words in my mouth.
I’ve never been so excited for someone to take a pregnancy test! I’ve got all my fingers and toes crossed that you’ll have an extra special present this Christmas! X x x
You’ve got this! No matter what, we are all here for you! We can’t wait to rejoice in your good news. You’re one heck of a wonder woman! So proud of you and I know you’ve got this!
Luna’s adoration of Grant is beyond adorable! You picked one stellar man! I don’t think anyone is surprised that he is such a supportive partner. Wishing you, Grant, Luna, and your family a beautiful and magical Christmas!!! 🙏🏼🍪🤞🏼❤️ PS You look awesome in a beret!!!
Lol I made cookies for my family as a gift....then my rolling pin broke so I couldnt finish my own 🤦🏼♀️ who knew it would be so hard to find a new one around the holidays lol
I have to tell you my first successful transfer I felt absolutely zero symptoms, I was easily 10 weeks along before I felt any symptoms at all. My point in saying that is that I was sure it hadn't worked because I didn't get the symptoms all the RUclips videos had talked about. Your experience is all your own and we're over here eating cookies and saying prayers for you! Merry Christmas to you and yours 💚💚
You’ve already made that difference. I have friends who are about to start their IVF journey and I feel like I am in a much better place to support them than I would be if you hadn’t shared your journey. Thank you for making us better people by allowing us to watch.
I was 6 weeks pregnant when I found out and I didn't have ANY of the symptoms you described. I started feeling after the 8th-9th week nausea and my breast hurt but that is all. No cramping, no headache, no tiredness. Do not catch your self on this sentiments! Everything will be great, sweetie! We are ALL here for you, rooting for you and you are so lucky to have each other ❤️
We found out we were pregnant Christmas Eve of last year. Now I have a almost 4 month old little angel next to me while I wrap presents. Praying for the same for you!
I have been shamlessly lurking on insta etc. Clicked this notification Hella fast! Been thinking of you guys and am about to make like 100 Christmas cookies so ALL THE VIBES 🍪🍪🍪🍪
It is OK to feel disappointment even though you have an overall good life. I had a miscarriage on thanksgiving day and although my life is overall pretty good, it was devastating. It wasn’t less devastating because I have a nice house and a great husband. You are allowed to feel your feelings.
That is sad @samchanel1223. Patience, peace in your mind. Babies may come in time. Keep moving forward and breathing. I hope for you. Life is harder than we were told it would be by our moms. Calm breaths. I ate extra cookies for you.
Luna is so darling in her sweater and cuddling Grant. So precious. So exciting and nerve wracking. Praying all goes well. Hugs to you all and Merry Christmas!
i just miscarried sadly just before christmas, but while i was pregnant i did have lots of similar pregnancy symptoms to you! especially the dreams! i had the craziest most vivid dreams of my life!! i'm excited for you, hoping you get your positive
Absolutely channeling positive energy for you!! What an incredible and at times, painful journey you have allowed us to come on. This documentation is probably such a selfless gift for someone going through the same thing and I wish you all the best!
I tested on 8dp5dt. I Couldn't resist. It was consuming me. It was positive. Beta was 276 on day 10. I didn't have any symptoms during the tww. Sending you positive vibes.
I went through IUI for my son, and before I had the pregnancy test to confirm that he was there, I had crazy dreams too. Not scary. Just weird. Darth Vader in a cable knit sweater. Buckle up because pregnancy dreams are nuts. Cramps are normal too.
Anyone else getting nervous? I'm checking stories like crazy and nothing. It's not like Leighann to go dark for a whole weekend? Praying!!! Update: glad to see there's a happy reason for the break 😁
❤❤ I just want you to know that when you lay your head down at night, you should feel completely at peace and extremely proud of yourself knowing that you have inspired and empowered so many people around the world. I know this isn't the easiest thing to share and we appreciate the heck out of you for taking us on this journey regardless of the outcome. We are rooting for you and we are here for you. ❤
When I was pregnant both times I had terrible dreams that felt so real I would wake up crying and have to take a moment to see if they was actually happening or not
That 2 week wait goes on fooooorreeeevveeeeerrrr. For what it’s worth, I was super nervous, because I felt ZERO symptoms til I was about 6 or 7 weeks along. Our happy & healthy baby girl joined us last June 💞. Eating all the cookies so you guys can have your baby’s first Christmas in 2021!!
Never clicked a video sooo fast!!! Ahhhhh ❤️ Ok now that I watched... Umm Luna laying down to get dressed is the absolute cutest thing everrrr! Sending you a BIG virtual hug! I can’t imagine all the emotions you must be feeling right now! Just know that no matter what happens after the two weeks wait is up you are one step closer to having the family you are dreaming of and we are all here to root for you and Grant. Eating ALLL the cookies and keeping you in my prayers! 🍪🍪🍪🍪
I never did IVF but, I've got 2 kids and never had the first symptom with either preg. It also was almost 5 mos before I felt any movement. So try not to stress over symptoms.Have a Merry Christmas & a blessed New Year.
Don't feel guilty about taking us along. I'm always ready to go on the ride. We cry with you and we smile with you also. Praying for the best results for Christmas!
I really think, especially after listening to the symptoms you have, that this will be your best Christmas ever... Big hugs to you while you await your news❤️
I’ve been watching you since middle school... I’m in third year university now. I’m thinking of you guys, and wishing you the best!! I hope you have the best Christmas ever 🥺
I was just talking about you with my boyfriend yesterday. You have so much support and so many people rooting for your family. You truly are impacting peoples lives just by sharing your experience. I even started looking into donating my eggs. I’m so excited and hopeful for you please never give up. Happy holidays, with love ❤️
I love and hate that the Waltz of the Flowers music has made an appearance in your December vlogs. As a dancer of over 17 years that music brings back happy memories, but at the same time intense anxiety as that dance in the longest and hardest 8 minutes I experienced every holiday season!
I feel this 100% every time I hear it. My dance teacher would make us stay in splits for the entirety of the song, and if anyone came up we had to start over. 😅
My future brother in law is named Kevin McCallister. I thought you’d appreciate knowing that. 🤣 Merry Christmas, I hope you enjoy your holiday so much 🖤 - still eating cookies!
@@leighannsays he said he was the coolest kid in 6th grade after that movie came out lol. He and my fiancé are both adopted, so I feel like it was fate. 🤣
Positive vibes ! Christmas 2021 u will b with ur whole family WITH ur new little bundle of joy and it will make this Christmas without ur fam all worth it !! I'm soo proud of u, u got this !
Grant is so right. You two are going to be parents, one way or another. Your child/children will be so loved, and so lucky to have you two as parents. 🧡 Thank you for sharing your experience. I can't imagine how hard it must be to be the one on the rollercoaster. Sending you a million hugs. 💙💛
It's funny how on the day you got married,. I was sitting on my bed and you just popped into my head. I said to myself "I bet Leigh Ann is getting married today ". Well I was making my Christmas fudge this morning and (out of nowhere) you popped into my head again. I just said out loud..."I bet Leigh Ann is pregnant 🤔🥰😘.... Love you Leigh Leigh ❤️ 🧡💛💚💙💜
I didn’t do IUI or anything but I found out I was pregnant at 4 weeks. When I found out I realized that for 2 weeks I was SO TIRED. All I was doing was sleeping. It continued through my pregnancy too. I joke I slept through pregnancy and labor but haven’t slept since. You’re doing awesome and we are MANIFESTING this for you to come when it needs to come. Because you deserve it.
I had an embryo transfer last year and started getting crazy dreams immediately. I was pregnant and proceeded to have insane and vivid dreams throughout my pregnancy. As soon as I gave birth the vivid dreams stopped. So I think it’s a good sign for you!!
I didn’t have to do IVF, but did have fertility treatment. It took two cycles for me, but what I remember with clarity is the wave of emotions. My boys are teenagers now. We baked cookies together today and sent you all the positive vibes & prayers. 😘
Pretty much as soon as I got pregnant I started feeling extreme fatigue and thirst. Maybe a week afterwards I had a dream that I was holding my little girl, she had a giant bow on her head, and I kept calling her “my little dolly.” I don’t usually remember any dreams but this has been one of the most vivid of my life. I kept psyching myself out for weeks, but my body knew! Now she’s really in there. I’m so excited for you ❤️❤️❤️
I totally get what you said about having a wonderful husband and life and the disappointment you would feel over a negative test. I’ve struggled with infertility and watching your story unfold (rollercoasters and all) has really helped me a lot! So thank you for sharing, I know it means so much to so many of us. And btw you’re not boring! 💖
The anticipation I feel for you guys is so real!! I'm nervous, happy, excited.... But I just feel like this is it! That this little baby is already growing and thriving in your belly and we'll get to meet him or her in 2021. 🍪❤️🍪 I have to think this will be your best Christmas ever! 🎄
All the good thoughts. It’s hard not to be invested in this adventure with you and Grant and Luna. Know that someone in Portland, OR, is thinking of you with all the hope for good news.
I can't ever wait out the tww. You're doing great ! I had my transfer last month have pcos as well but sadly ended in miscarriage and now I have to start over with another egg retrieval. Positive vibes for you ! We've had the same tww symptoms . I tested positive at 5dp5dt.
I’m so sorry this happened to you. I miscarried and it was so incredibly hard, I can’t imagine losing after going through so much with IVF to get pregnant in the first place. Sending a virtual hug and positive vibes for healing and a healthy baby in your future! ❤️
I was a surrogate twice (gestational) and I remember all the shots and that two week wait that seemed to last forever and ever. Sending sticky vibes to you.
You start crying. I start crying. I got a fresh set of lashes today. Still crying. 😭 Good things are. coming! I've been saying it for months. I feel it in my gut. Praying for you guys, thinking about you guys and most importantly wishing you guys the BEST Christmas ever. You guys make my life better just by being in it and I look forward to your videos. Sending you all the best 🍪🎄🎁❤️
I had a really really bad panic attack and this video somehow helped me. They always help me. Love you so much girl. Thank you for all you do and im sending all the love, light, and positivity your way♥️♥️♥️
I felt hung over for the 1st 5 months of my pregnancy! I use to always say pregnancy sickness was like one long hangover! Wishing and praying so hard for you guys! U guys deserve this so much!!!!
Leighanne, I have been following you for years and I am praying for you and Grant. I am currently 9 weeks pregnant and still scared, but trying to stay positive as well. I have a very good feeling for you guys and will continue to pray over you both! May God bless you both with a Christmas miracle 💕
2021 is gonna be the best year because every week we can tune into leighannesays and geta pregnancy updates and eventually hear about the birth of that beautiful baby...God has got this...trust in him leighannesays..it will all be ok hugs and prayers and cookies
No matter what happens you and Grant WILL BE great parents one day. Whatever way that has to happen, it’ll happen and I’m so excited for the day when you become a mom and Grant gets to be a dad. 🥺💞 You’re going to be amazing parents.
So it's currently 02:26am in the UK and I have woken up to anxiety! Butttt it's not all negative because I've got your vlog to watch ❤️ sending all my love to you both thank you for making all your vlogs for us and making our day better seeing how strong you both are makes me feel strong 👏💪❤️
currently in my 2ww, blood test is xmas eve - trying to remain hopeful and not let it ruin the xmas build it. Happy to find and watch this video, helpful to see others journeys x
It's all a very overwhelming experience. I cried on the table when they were implanting the eggs; Your happy, nervous, anxious all the emotion just bubble up and it hard to explain. You have rocked this whole process. So proud of you. LOve you and pray for you.
I've been following you for so long (pre-Grant!) and I'm so excited for you guys. Wishing you all the baby dust in the world. Also want to say how much I appreciate you sharing your journey, I know that it will definitely be helping others. I didn't go through IVF but it did take 2 years to conceive my youngest and I can relate to a lot of what you're saying. Hang in there and Merry Christmas!! Hope it's the best ever!
I've been baking and tasting cookies today; I hope it brings you luck! Wishing you the happiest of holidays and a joyous New Year to you and your family! 💗❄⛄🎄🎐
Hope this is helpful to you somehow without overstepping: I had 2 IVF pregnancies and the day we tested was the first day I felt morning sickness each time. I didn’t experience any extreme sick feelings when the transfer worked. I also had two transplants that did not implant and for these, it felt like I was so so sick - diarrhea and vomiting - and all at the same time and SEVERE. To this day that is the keenest memory of the sickest I have ever felt. But only for about 30 minutes and then it was over. I’m guessing from the steep and sudden plummet of hormones from miscarriage. Not to get your hopes up too high, but I have to think you’re ‘holding’ the pregnancy if you haven’t been deathly ill after the transfer. Sending you and Grant and Luna Bean Casserole all good vibes!!!! You got this🥰
You mentioning the "cramp" you felt reminded me of this: I am currently 10w pregnant and one thing I noticed around the time that implantation would have happened was that I got this one sudden intense PINCH. I remember standing in my living room being like OW what the heck was that? I feel like there's no logical reason that implantation of a tiny blob of cells would cause such a pain, but I so distinctly remember it and thought it was really weird. I tested positive two days later.
I am not religious in the least but I’m still praying for you! I can’t think of two ppl more deserving of a family! You guys are going to be the best parents ❤️❤️❤️
Love your new storage units! We installed metal hanging racks ahead the garage door and it has added a ton of storage for Christmas decor! Best of luck this week! Sending good vibes your way!
I’m so excited for you! I’ve thought of you several times this past week and still praying for everything to be successful. Y’all are going to be amazing parents!
I did IVF this year! It’s a hard journey and if you have never gone through it you have no clue what is supposed to happen.. I NEVER tested during my 2ww.. I was so scared for a false positive or negative.. I know it’s so hard to hold off but it was so worth the wait to have the blood test and sit with your husband and wait.. it was an amazing experience to have with him to put the call on speaker phone and we both got to find out it was positive together!! Just stay strong!!
Thank you for taking us on this journey with you. I have definitely learned so much about the IVF process that I did not know before. I’m rooting for you and sending you all the positive vibes and thoughts.
The two week wait is such a crazy time! It’s like you can’t focus on anything except any new little twinges or feelings. Keeping my fingers crossed and eating all the cookies for ya!❤️
I've never rooted so hard for someone I never met in my life lol.
Omg SAME. I usually go to the gym Wednesday mornings and I’m so on this boat that even my trainer asks how their IVF is going and if I cried the night before. 😂
Seriously!!
Same

Please remember that every person and every pregnancy is different. You are going to be a WONDERFUL mommy and Grant will be a WONDERFUL daddy too. Also I can hardly wait to find out BUT I don't want to know until YOU are ready.
I know
I have one biological and 2 adopted and I will tell you that they are the same. A child is a blessing any way they come to you so like Grant said you will be parents one way or another and it will be amazing. God bless.

I even started looking into donating my eggs. I’m so excited and hopeful for you please never give up.
Happy holidays, with love ❤️
I love and hate that the Waltz of the Flowers music has made an appearance in your December vlogs. As a dancer of over 17 years that music brings back happy memories, but at the same time intense anxiety as that dance in the longest and hardest 8 minutes I experienced every holiday season!
I feel this 100% every time I hear it. My dance teacher would make us stay in splits for the entirety of the song, and if anyone came up we had to start over. 😅
Me too! I keep going through the dance in my head every time it plays 😂🩰
My future brother in law is named Kevin McCallister. I thought you’d appreciate knowing that. 🤣 Merry Christmas, I hope you enjoy your holiday so much 🖤 - still eating cookies!
you're absolutely right I do appreciate that 😂
@@leighannsays he said he was the coolest kid in 6th grade after that movie came out lol. He and my fiancé are both adopted, so I feel like it was fate. 🤣
That Texas flag in the bushes, is literally the most Texas thing I have ever seen! As a fellow Texan, I am so proud.
Positive vibes ! Christmas 2021 u will b with ur whole family WITH ur new little bundle of joy and it will make this Christmas without ur fam all worth it !! I'm soo proud of u, u got this !
Driving around seeing all the Christmas lights makes me happy! Merry Christmas everyone 🎄
Grant is so right. You two are going to be parents, one way or another. Your child/children will be so loved, and so lucky to have you two as parents. 🧡
Thank you for sharing your experience. I can't imagine how hard it must be to be the one on the rollercoaster. Sending you a million hugs. 💙💛
It's funny how on the day you got married,. I was sitting on my bed and you just popped into my head. I said to myself "I bet Leigh Ann is getting married today ". Well I was making my Christmas fudge this morning and (out of nowhere) you popped into my head again. I just said out loud..."I bet Leigh Ann is pregnant 🤔🥰😘....
Love you Leigh Leigh ❤️ 🧡💛💚💙💜
leigh ann can i just say that you look radiantly beautiful 24/7 and i don’t know how you do it🥺
aww thank you! I promise I look crusty at least 50% of the time 😅
I didn’t do IUI or anything but I found out I was pregnant at 4 weeks. When I found out I realized that for 2 weeks I was SO TIRED. All I was doing was sleeping. It continued through my pregnancy too. I joke I slept through pregnancy and labor but haven’t slept since.
You’re doing awesome and we are MANIFESTING this for you to come when it needs to come. Because you deserve it.
I keep checking back every day to see an update on RUclips and Instagram. God please let her be pregnant ❤️
I had an embryo transfer last year and started getting crazy dreams immediately. I was pregnant and proceeded to have insane and vivid dreams throughout my pregnancy. As soon as I gave birth the vivid dreams stopped. So I think it’s a good sign for you!!
I didn’t have to do IVF, but did have fertility treatment. It took two cycles for me, but what I remember with clarity is the wave of emotions. My boys are teenagers now. We baked cookies together today and sent you all the positive vibes & prayers. 😘
Pretty much as soon as I got pregnant I started feeling extreme fatigue and thirst. Maybe a week afterwards I had a dream that I was holding my little girl, she had a giant bow on her head, and I kept calling her “my little dolly.” I don’t usually remember any dreams but this has been one of the most vivid of my life. I kept psyching myself out for weeks, but my body knew! Now she’s really in there. I’m so excited for you ❤️❤️❤️
I totally get what you said about having a wonderful husband and life and the disappointment you would feel over a negative test. I’ve struggled with infertility and watching your story unfold (rollercoasters and all) has really helped me a lot! So thank you for sharing, I know it means so much to so many of us. And btw you’re not boring! 💖
The anticipation I feel for you guys is so real!! I'm nervous, happy, excited.... But I just feel like this is it! That this little baby is already growing and thriving in your belly and we'll get to meet him or her in 2021. 🍪❤️🍪 I have to think this will be your best Christmas ever! 🎄
All the good thoughts. It’s hard not to be invested in this adventure with you and Grant and Luna. Know that someone in Portland, OR, is thinking of you with all the hope for good news.
that means so much to me. thank you so much 🖤
I can't ever wait out the tww. You're doing great ! I had my transfer last month have pcos as well but sadly ended in miscarriage and now I have to start over with another egg retrieval. Positive vibes for you ! We've had the same tww symptoms . I tested positive at 5dp5dt.
ugh I'm so so sorry to hear that. you are so strong 💙
I’m so sorry this happened to you. I miscarried and it was so incredibly hard, I can’t imagine losing after going through so much with IVF to get pregnant in the first place. Sending a virtual hug and positive vibes for healing and a healthy baby in your future! ❤️
Thankyou everyone for your kind words! ❤️
I was a surrogate twice (gestational) and I remember all the shots and that two week wait that seemed to last forever and ever. Sending sticky vibes to you.
Praying for you!! I cannot wait for you to tell us that you’re pregnant! 💙
You start crying.
I start crying.
I got a fresh set of lashes today.
Still crying. 😭
Good things are. coming! I've been saying it for months. I feel it in my gut.
Praying for you guys, thinking about you guys and most importantly wishing you guys the BEST Christmas ever. You guys make my life better just by being in it and I look forward to your videos. Sending you all the best 🍪🎄🎁❤️
I had a really really bad panic attack and this video somehow helped me. They always help me. Love you so much girl. Thank you for all you do and im sending all the love, light, and positivity your way♥️♥️♥️
Looking forward to a little Christmas/New Years miracle 💗
I had such vivid dreams in early pregnancy! It was so weird. 🥴
I felt hung over for the 1st 5 months of my pregnancy! I use to always say pregnancy sickness was like one long hangover! Wishing and praying so hard for you guys! U guys deserve this so much!!!!
Leighanne, I have been following you for years and I am praying for you and Grant. I am currently 9 weeks pregnant and still scared, but trying to stay positive as well. I have a very good feeling for you guys and will continue to pray over you both! May God bless you both with a Christmas miracle 💕
2021 is gonna be the best year because every week we can tune into leighannesays and geta pregnancy updates and eventually hear about the birth of that beautiful baby...God has got this...trust in him leighannesays..it will all be ok hugs and prayers and cookies

No matter what happens you and Grant WILL BE great parents one day. Whatever way that has to happen, it’ll happen and I’m so excited for the day when you become a mom and Grant gets to be a dad. 🥺💞
You’re going to be amazing parents.
So it's currently 02:26am in the UK and I have woken up to anxiety! Butttt it's not all negative because I've got your vlog to watch ❤️ sending all my love to you both thank you for making all your vlogs for us and making our day better seeing how strong you both are makes me feel strong 👏💪❤️
currently in my 2ww, blood test is xmas eve - trying to remain hopeful and not let it ruin the xmas build it. Happy to find and watch this video, helpful to see others journeys x
It's all a very overwhelming experience. I cried on the table when they were implanting the eggs; Your happy, nervous, anxious all the emotion just bubble up and it hard to explain. You have rocked this whole process. So proud of you. LOve you and pray for you.
Wishing you the best week of your life. Sending you all the love and mama vibes I have to spare. I BELIEVE. 🎄❣️
I've been following you for so long (pre-Grant!) and I'm so excited for you guys. Wishing you all the baby dust in the world. Also want to say how much I appreciate you sharing your journey, I know that it will definitely be helping others. I didn't go through IVF but it did take 2 years to conceive my youngest and I can relate to a lot of what you're saying. Hang in there and Merry Christmas!! Hope it's the best ever!
Thinking of you guys!!! Sending all the positive vibes & hope you have a wonderful Christmas! 🥰
Merry Christmas! I'm so excited to find out how things turn out. Good luck! I sure do hope you get good news in the next week.
I’m wishing so hard for you and Grant to get what you want for Christmas!! Sending positive vibes and hugs! Merry Christmas!
I've been baking and tasting cookies today; I hope it brings you luck! Wishing you the happiest of holidays and a joyous New Year to you and your family! 💗❄⛄🎄🎐
On my daughters birthday my wish for you is to become a Mom. Beautiful blessings and lets get that Christmas miracle. We are your people!!!!
Hope this is helpful to you somehow without overstepping: I had 2 IVF pregnancies and the day we tested was the first day I felt morning sickness each time. I didn’t experience any extreme sick feelings when the transfer worked.
I also had two transplants that did not implant and for these, it felt like I was so so sick - diarrhea and vomiting - and all at the same time and SEVERE. To this day that is the keenest memory of the sickest I have ever felt. But only for about 30 minutes and then it was over. I’m guessing from the steep and sudden plummet of hormones from miscarriage. Not to get your hopes up too high, but I have to think you’re ‘holding’ the pregnancy if you haven’t been deathly ill after the transfer. Sending you and Grant and Luna Bean Casserole all good vibes!!!! You got this🥰
You mentioning the "cramp" you felt reminded me of this: I am currently 10w pregnant and one thing I noticed around the time that implantation would have happened was that I got this one sudden intense PINCH. I remember standing in my living room being like OW what the heck was that? I feel like there's no logical reason that implantation of a tiny blob of cells would cause such a pain, but I so distinctly remember it and thought it was really weird. I tested positive two days later.
Ahh I’m in my two week wait too. Sending hugs and eating lots of cookies. 🍪
Good luck! I wish you a christmas miracle also!
I hope you get the best news!! 🙏🏻💙
I went through SEVERAL cycles of IVF. The only time I had NO symptoms during my two week wait, was the only time I was actually pregnant 😂
I also had zero symptoms during my TWW when I was pregnant. I would have bet thousands that I wasn’t pregnant but I was.
I can’t wait for all the pregnancy updates and baby hauls 🥸 (my new favorite emoji I thought you’d appreciate)
All of the luck in the world! I pray you both get what you want. I’m crying right along with you!
Girl this video makes me wanna cry we are all rooting for you! No matter what we will love you and be here for you as much as we can 💖
I clicked SO FAST. hoping all the best for one of the sweetest and most deserving families ever 💜💜💜💜💜💜
I am not religious in the least but I’m still praying for you! I can’t think of two ppl more deserving of a family! You guys are going to be the best parents ❤️❤️❤️
Love your new storage units! We installed metal hanging racks ahead the garage door and it has added a ton of storage for Christmas decor! Best of luck this week! Sending good vibes your way!
I’m so excited for you! I’ve thought of you several times this past week and still praying for everything to be successful. Y’all are going to be amazing parents!
Yes! PUPO! It’s so true. If it’s only for the waiting period, or for the whole 9 months, you’re babies are on board. Enjoy every moment of them.
I have been thinking about you guys SO much! I feel so invested in this precious life and I want you to know I am covering you guys in prayer!
I did IVF this year! It’s a hard journey and if you have never gone through it you have no clue what is supposed to happen.. I NEVER tested during my 2ww.. I was so scared for a false positive or negative.. I know it’s so hard to hold off but it was so worth the wait to have the blood test and sit with your husband and wait.. it was an amazing experience to have with him to put the call on speaker phone and we both got to find out it was positive together!! Just stay strong!!
Thank you for taking us on this journey with you. I have definitely learned so much about the IVF process that I did not know before. I’m rooting for you and sending you all the positive vibes and thoughts.
The two week wait is such a crazy time! It’s like you can’t focus on anything except any new little twinges or feelings. Keeping my fingers crossed and eating all the cookies for ya!❤️
