MY IDENTITY IS NOT BEING A MOM oh my gosh YES this is so true!! This is what I had to realize while I was trying to conceive. I am currently a mom now but it is not my purpose and my identity. I am me and that is enough. I’m actually glad I realized that before becoming pregnant. I feel like I needed to learn it myself! It makes your life feel so much more complete
💯
I’ve been TTC for 18 months. I “yes & amen” to the first point. I definitely thought multiple times “I cannot do this any longer.” & yet, here I am. Continuing to fight. Praying for your miracle baby to arrive in Gods perfect timing & hoping that timing is soon 😉🫶🏽
Hey Rachel, I just wanted to thank you. I really needed to hear everything you said in this video.
It's been almost 3 years of ttc and 2 early pregnancy losses for me and it makes me feel isolated sometimes, so I'm so thankful for people like you, who are open about their journey, you make us feel less alone and give us hope.
I’ll like to say a prayer for you, my husband and I are trying to conceive as well.
Dear Lord God in Heaven, Bless Rachel as I pray for her healthy ovaries and reproductive system overall. Allow her to conceive the next generation of your kingdom here in this world. You said to go forth and be fruitful. So God, I ask this day that You open Rachel’s womb, so that she can bring forth a child and even children. In Jesus heavenly name I pray, Amen. ❤
Amen ❤
Amen
What a good video Rachel! I've been tuning in for 1.5 yrs now, not ttc and not a Christian and this was a great video to watch! I really enjoyed your humor towards the end in your last lesson too lol . ❤
Hello from Singapore! Thank you for your spiritual lessons and sharing this vulnerable journey with us. Indeed God is our prize and we have to find contentment in the blessings that God has already given to us so abundantly already. As a Christian struggling with TTC for the past year, I wanna let you know that your stories have comforted me on many occasions - thank you for being a light for people like us :) God is indeed in control, and his way and timing is perfect, even if we can’t see it yet. Hang in there 🤍
Your voice and your transparency give many women who suffer in silence strength and hope. ❤ thank you
On the tough days - rewatch this video! I’m on the other side of it and so much of what you said helped me stay the course while remaining joyful…He’s got you ❤
This was such a wonderful video! It really opened up my eyes, again....And hit home on many struggles, not infertility but in regards to where in life God has me right now and my purpose- a reminder I NEEDED to hear.
One thing I struggle with is the silence around infertility. For miscarriage this is a lot of sympathy and flowers to say sorry and support groups. However for infertility I haven't really opened up to many people as feel like generally only people who have gone through it can relate.
My sister in law said she struggled to conceive for 2 years which made me more comfortable to open up to her.
Also true that husband's will never get it. Generally they don't get as upset with the process as don't get the constant reminder of a period every month.
I am trying to trust god's journey. If conceiving my own child does not work out then maybe adoption is on the cards.
This spoke to my soul. 12 months TTC so far. I needed this. Thank you, Rachel. ❤
Good morning Rachel happy Friday morning and I just wanted to say that your weekly day vlogs is amazing
I always have to remember, life is about the journey not the destination. The quote you posted about tomorrow is perfect.
You are young and have a ton of time fertility wise. Enjoy everyday, even though it's been a huge challenge this past year. I truly believe we all have our trials in life to learn and grow.
Husbands need to be strong and the rock we rely on during these difficult times. If i'm going through something, I don't want my husband falling apart. I need strength. A.J is doing that for you. 💪
Your faith will get you through and you are surrounded by good friends and family. 😊
This is excellent and full of wisdom. Continuing to pray for you. ❤
I haven't dealt with infertility personally but I have dealt with child loss with my first pregnancy. I love what you said about looking back at your prayer requests & how your life is today. Now I have a beautiful 2 year old. I'm rooting for you
& AJ in this next chapter. I have really been enjoying your videos.
I’m so sorry 😔 I can’t imagine the pain of losing a child
Rachel this has been a very helpful video for someone going through this journey. The most important lesson is to just thrive, your time will come
Take a good care of yourself, God bless you, Rachel !!
I needed this today, thank you for sharing Rachel!
So glad!
This video has helped me so much, thank you❤
Definitly one of your best chitchat vidéo Rachel you are so much improved and get thé lesson and wisdom that GOD wanted to teach you and i've learned a lot from your speech today i love you and wish you all the best in your life you Heart and soul are so pure and you will bé a super kind beautiful mama ❤ keep going girl
Such a good word! Great reminder. Thank you for sharing your journey Rachel!
Thanks for watching!
Praying for you both as God pours his strength and patience over you. Sending hugs and love as you are on this journey. ❤️
Love youuuu❤❤ will always be here
Humans are imperfect and that also goes for being imperfect physically. I agree that if we are infertile, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s for a reason like you said. Sometimes our bodies aren’t perfect and we need help to conceive and that is OKAY 💕 I am so grateful for modern medicine
I pray you get what you are praying for girl. This is as a very great video. I didn’t even click, it just came up next in my videos but I’m so glad heard it. I’m so guilty of putting all these things above God. Exulting other things above Him. So this was such a great reminder. Thank you!
Rachel love your vids!!and your apartment looks so so beautiful💫💖
I am two years in, and resonate with a lot of what's said in this video - including the first cycle being REALLY HARD!
I've spent over two years focusing on becoming pregnant as quickly as possible, ignoring all other problems in life, including for my husband, that whole time. Only this spring did I have an epiphany and could finally break free from the toxic downward spiral I was in (I was phobic of babies and pregnant women this entire time).
I still struggle with feelings of envy though, especially of women younger than me (I'm 33, not old but not young in TTC either), and keep getting struck with "HOW can so many people conceive easily and it doesn't work for me?" But I have to realize they have other struggles and I don't want their lives. And also, I probably *shouldn't* have gotten pregnant in the last two years, because I've learned and grown so much during this time. Just yesterday, after a tough first few days of a new cycle, I realized my comparing myself to others is rooted in self-loathing and self-hate, and this is where I have to focus on healing.
This video is what I needed 🙏
My husband and I have almost the same story as you guys. You’re handling it a little better than me though haha I’m slowly accepting that I can’t control it and to let the anger/sadness go, but it’s easier said than done. I do appreciate your story because it’s can feel like you’re the only person going through infertility. Hoping we both get our happy endings ❤
You got this!
This video is comforting ❤
We been trying for 6 months and it’s really hurtful when my mom and grandma was saying “oh you will get pregnant your first try because I did”. I didn’t even tell them that we were trying until like 5 months in. Them being so adamant that it will be so easy is really frustrating and my mom bragging that she was super fertile lol because she got pregnant the first try 🤦♀️ I just wish she would not make things about herself for once
Very true. Even seeing those “I found my purpose videos” when you are postpartum and not feeling that way can be difficult. A good perspective to have!
Wow Rachel I had chills listening to you say that Jesus is the prize and that is such a great reminder. You will have so many blessings in heaven because of how well you are spreading Gods love and goodness to others who maybe will forever be changed because of your journey. Love and praying for you!
Really good points. Encouraging and important. Thank you. God bless you 😊
I have had a lot of these same revelations on our journey - one that was particularly helpful that you mentioned and I will go back to is that this won't be my life forever, whether or not I become a mother, I will get over this particularly dark time in my life. I am working hard every day to cherish what I have, especially with my husband.
I’m on a totally different stage of life but I still find this video soso great and helpful ❤
This is definitely true. I was told to go certain places and judged that I was never faithful to God because I was not able to conceive in our 4 years in marriage. I was hurt for a moment but my faith is stronger than their comments. I have health issues and my husband which they don't know, I strongly believe that if the natural way is not for us, God will open opportunities for us to have it in some other way.
I will always pray that your journey will be bless by God and His goodness will shine upon you 🙏🏼
You are very eloquent and well-spoken. ❤ love you!
Thank you so much!
First comment! Hope you have a great weekend, Rachel!❤❤
I am here filled with grief after the first month of high expectations and getting my period yesterday. We spent a whole year unprotected, trying, but not really trying. I feel so naive for thinking just one month of ovulation testing would be enough to make it happen 😕
im so sorry, i totally know how you feel :(
“Trust your body” only mantra will help you to go through everything.. stay strong 💪 ❤
Love your courage to share your journey!
Also where’s your couch from? 🙈
West elm!
I’m a Christian too so my first identity is Christian but I have always believed that you can have other roles or identities as well. I get what you’re saying though. By the way, I love the back splash!! The white looks amazing.
LOVE!
Hey girl. I don't know you or your situation but God is looking out for you. Seek his face as you are struggling to conceive. Everything is possible through him.
Thank you so much for this video. I really needed to watch this today. Wishing you get pregnant soon!!!
You look beautiful, I’m still praying and believing! Proud of your testimony for our Lord!
Thank you so much!!
I just shared this video with my beautiful 32 year old daughter who’s waiting for her husband. You made me cry today because I see changes in you. You’re in my prayer journal since May. God is working. I know it!
truth be spoken
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and beliefs in God .. I'm Muslim, and I noticed that we are sharing these beliefs that you mentioned.
Just for the record, not all patients undergoing IVF are put on the birth control before the stimulation cycly, actually, it doesn't happen very often nowadays. Assisted reproduction is a highly individualized process.
Amen beautiful, blessings.
You got this Rachel! 🩷
Im 2 years ttc now. Every month it is heart breaking
Yes! A Christian's identity is in Christ!
You’re so right the first month is the worst
"God is the prize!" That was deep. Thank you for sharing that.
What I've learned while still trying to conceive is to look what you CAN change. God has opened our eyes on our diet. We are trying keto/carnivore diet to reduce inflammation in our bodies. We are very hopeful now that we'll conceive on our own but we do have scheduled IVF cycle in October. If we don't conceive by then, we'll do IVF.
Good luck!!!
@@RachelVinn Thank you!
I really believe and can feel you will conceive very very soon in Jesus name. Amen. Never cease praying.
#Love you
Ride or die here! 🙋🏻♀️
You’ve probably been doing this, but I have a tilted uterus and I got pregnant by laying on my back, tilting my pelvis to the ceiling with my legs in the air after intercourse. As soon as I started doing that I got pregnant.
You are beautiful! Sending baby dust your way. It’ll happen for you❤
You can still love those negative people in your life from a far
On a different TCC journey..We’ve been trying for a year and are 2 miscarriages in (one at 6w and one at 12w). It’s very hard as a Christian to remember to be grateful for where I am. Like you said, God is not a magic genie, and we need to be content in HIS timing. But wow can it be hard at times! Trying to use this season for his glory is one of the hardest things I have had to walk through so far.
I'm so sorry your having trouble to conceived. 😢
I’ve been following your journey because I’m in a similar boat. I have been trying for 2 & 1/2 years and it’s been such an emotionally and physically draining journey. We haven’t been able to try IUI yet because of insurance issues and what not. So frustrating.
All tests are normal. Unexplained infertility is so frustrating! I’ve learned a lot about patience, surrender and divine timing. Sending love and lots of baby dust your way!!! Here’s hoping we both get our miracle soon. 🫶💕 thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your journey!
Hello From india -please drink every day morning pomegranate juice
Why do want a baby? No disrespect just wondering 💭
Hi Rachel! Go to National Shrine of Our Lady of La Leche in St. Agustin, Florida. She Will help you with love. God bless you!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nice video 😊😅😅😅😅🎉🎉😂😂❤
It's so great people with money can do IVF. What about women like me who could never afford it? Immediately not interested now..
I’m using insurance. You can apply for a job at Starbucks and work part time for 5 months and then you will get full fertility benefits.
It's understandable that fertility treatments can be expensive, but lashing out at someone who's sharing their personal experience may not be the most productive approach. If you're genuinely interested in IVF and can't afford it, consider exploring alternative options through research. There are companies offering fertility benefits (like Starbucks, Tractor Supply, and Lowes), clinics with more affordable rates (CNY), and even medical tourism options. It's worth looking into these possibilities instead of directing anger towards those who've found their own path.
Then that's your sign that you should not have kids yet since you cannot afford it. What are you gonna do next after having one? Get all snarky at other people because you can't buy milk and diapers?
I’m sorry for the very private question? But did you take the vaccines for C? Several young girls I know are having same issues after taking those jabs. Plus the vaccines for babies are very dangerous. I know, just research, Please. You do not have to respond. But I really am concerned about our human race and especially our babies. Trust the Lord only
it is possible to fully detox vaccine and birth control through homeopathy as long as you have a really good homeopathic doctor. i am in the process of detoxing pfeizer after 5 miscarriages - my first pregnancy before the vaccine was easy and i got pregnant first try. we will see how it goes after i finish my detox! detoxing my baby too since i took one dose during pregnancy.
@@camilapereira6772 I understand. I’ve never taken shots. But I do detox for heavy metals etc. I take detox’s baths as well. Good luck sweet lady. I truly hurt for all of you. I’m a grandma and it has softened me more than I thought possible. Hugs and God bless
@@warmbreeze43 hello, how do you detoxify?
Ok, Rachel you need to relax girl. This video sounded like a cermon or some kind of religious preaching, probably something you read in your books. You talk alot about God, devil .... come on girl, what are you truing to deliver to your audience. Please don't link infertilify with religion!
Okay and? its her channel. she can post what she wants? Im not religious at all but i still watch her videos because it’s important in life to be open to other opinions.
Dear @@Danijanet you totally misunderstood my point!
You go girl❤ you are stronger thn u think love we all are here for you everytime @rachelVinn❤
Just ordered my ritual. Thank you! 🤍
Hope you like it!💜
