I'm so sorry you are going through this, I habe experienced chemical pregnancies and there is no words to describe the feeling of loss even so early on. As soon as you see that second line you start dreaming of the new life you ard going to have. I really hope that you are doing ok and you seem to have so much support here! Sending baby dust your way 💓
This is devastating to watch. The excitement, the confusion, the hope, the loss of hope and the absolute loss of that little baby is devastating to watch because I can relate. I’m so sorry for your loss and I’m wishing you all the baby dust there is 💕!
Yay you deserve this so much..so happy for you 💓 🥳🥳 praying everything is going great for you 🙏 I'm almost 13wks and I've had a bit of a scare in my pregnancy and I'm waiting for answers from my blood test..please pray for good answers..take care 🙂 ❤
Andrea I’m in tears 😢 this was DEFINITELY an emotional roller coaster! I’m sorry for the way it ended but keep ur head up ur helping so many woman! Ur blessing will come mama 🙏🏾 for u!
Thank you Nisha! Yes this was definitely one of the most different experiences I’ve ever had missing a period for as long as I did. With my chemical pregnancies from last year my periods always came right on time after seeing positive pregnancy tests, so to have a missed period like this really strung me along. I hope you’re right. I really hope this does help and encourage other women.💕
@@andreapoole4778 yes bcuz I’m like did we miss Ovulation was she not really ovulating. Them I was like nope that how my OPKs were when I found out she’s definitely pregnant!! God just showed u, u can get pregnant but the perfect baby is coming just for u! I’m glad u added preseed this time. I told u that’s what helped me after months on end of trying! But please don’t stop posting and don’t stop trying 💜💜🙏🏾🫂
@@NOLABudgets Yes thank you Nisha! Even if my CM is good I’m still going to use pre-seed right before I inseminate like I did this last time. I have one vial left of my donor and I really hope this next one is a healthy baby that stays.
I live in Oregon and Cannon Beach is my favorite of all the beaches in Oregon. It was a joy to watch Hannah waddle her way down the sand. Hang on to that. Through everything else, you are blessed with that sweet, sweet little girl. I am so sorry for the joy and then the crushing blow. Thinking about you!
Saying lots of prayers for you I was so excited for you and then got to the end and then I felt so sad, I am sending you tons and tons of baby dust and I hope and pray the next one will stick praying for your rainbow baby 🙏❤
Thank you so much Julie! Yes I definitely need the prayer and hopefully I will get my baby this next cycle as I only have one vial of my donor sperm left so this is definite pressure but I believe God will bless me.🥰❤️
I’m so sorry this happened, what a roller coaster :( I got so so excited for you. Toward the end I began to really worry it was actually an ectopic for how low the HCG seemed to be. But SO so curious with the ovulation tests! Every time I’ve used an OPK alongside an HCG test, the pregnancy test was so obviously positive before the OPK test line was the same darkness as the control. It’s just crazy how positive your OPKs were in whatever they were picking up in your urine, but the tests continued to be negative (or super faint). Can you share a pic of your BBT chart the next time? It would be really interesting to see the pattern and try to deduce what might have happened. Absolutely gut wrenching to be 5 weeks along and then have it all come to a halt. My heart is with you ❤️
Thank you yes definitely so crazy to have light lines on a pregnancy test the way it was with some tests being negative and the ovulation tests staying the same. It’s funny you mentioned my chart. I will definitely include that in the next video. I would’ve done it this last video but filming was so hard being at my cousins house and my mom’s house and everything was super rushed and I could never really take the time to film the way I wanted to.So yeah next time I will definitely include daily temperatures as well because I really like temping now. ❤️
First of all I wanna say I'm so sorry for what you're going through I am a licensed Vocational nurse and it could just be in this actually personally happened to me as well with my third child my hCG didn't even show up in my ear and I was 5 1/2 weeks pregnant I was getting negatives until I was literally 5 1/2 weeks so try not to think negative trying to stay positive just take care of yourself watch for any signs of infection meaning it could be a small urine discharge fever aches and pains chills and fever or vomiting and then I would go to the hospital praying for you hope all is well please keep us posted
I can't believe it. I really thought this was it. Sorry you have to go thru this. This must have been a painful, wird confusing cycle for you. My heart goes out to you♥️I hope your able to find a good Dr.
Oh Andrea, I am so sorry. I have messaged you. I was at work watching this and was so excited for you, then gutted to see the outcome. Lots of love to you xxxx
Thank you Sonia! Yes it was very disappointing to say the least. Thank you for all of your support I really appreciate it! I will try to write back when I can thank you for your messages!💕
Nooo!!! I’m so sorry! I was so excited for you and then so sad! We’ve also been trying for quite a while so I know the disappointment every month! Sending back baby dust your way!
Oh Thank you so much Jacquie! I’ve done my fair share of crying also. It’s really hard to finally get a positive after 10 months of never seeing one positive pregnancy test just to lose it all. Thank you so much for your prayers, I definitely need them as always.💕
That’s great! Yes I have taken vitex in the past for long periods of time but decided to stop. My periods are very regular and I always have a very strong ovulation. I didn’t really see a need for it even though I totally believe it is a beneficial supplement. I focus more on the egg quality supplements. I get pregnant very easily but because of my age, quality of egg has been the struggle. I am still very hopeful that the good egg is coming soon and my daughter will get to have a sibling to grow up with. Thank you so much!❤️
Aw Andrea I’m so sorry this just sucks chemical pregnancies are soul destroying you get all excited even though we know the chance of miscarriage we see that line then have it fade and test go negative there’s no words to describe it I’m praying next cycle will be it for you ❤️🥰
I’m so sorry this month wasn’t it for you :( praying for October!!🙏🏼💜 Also, if you’re comfortable sharing of course! On your other video I heard you mention you use NWCryo? I did as well to conceive my daughter and now am pregnant again (13w2d) with nwcryo. I was just wondering what donor you used?? I know it’s suuuper unlikely we used the same donor but just curious because that would be awesome if we did and to stay connected (if you wanted of course!!) but again, I know it’s a long shot!! Regardless good luck to you!! You’re in my thoughts!! 💗
Oh wow you get your sperm from the same bank! How cool! Yes you can email me at ascholz1977@gmail.com and we can share donors. Congratulations on your pregnancy! So your second must be from the same donor then? I was really hoping to have one more from my daughter’s donor.
@@andreapoole4778 I’ll be sending you a email :) tonight! Sadly, no, they have different donors. I’m so upset I had to use different donors because you know how if you confirm a pregnancy with NWCryo they will email you if your donor has like minimal vials left so you have a chance to buy more before they become “retired”? So, basically I was waiting to start conceiving baby number 2 because I only had 2 vials left over from my donor when I tried with my daughter and NWCryo said in January of 2021 they’d be releasing the “final vials” for my daughters donor.. well I was sooooo distraught when I got an email saying the samples they have didn’t pass all of the criteria it needed to be released so I was stuck. I had 2 vials left from my daughters donor and I knew I’d need a miracle, and sadly when I tried for my second baby it didn’t work the first or second time, so that miracle wasn’t answered in the first try and actually I did 4 IUI’s AFTER that first and second one with my daughters donor and no luck so I had to move onto IVF! Which I was shocked because my daughters only 20 months old! As I got pregnant with her the 3rd IUI! And I think to myself damn, if only I knew I needed IVF this time I would have went straight to it and used those last vials :( which thank the lord IVF worked, but I’m so sad I wasn’t able To give her a full sibling! But I know DNA is just part of it and not everything! It’s just still dry very upsetting to me :/ I’m praying this last vial of your donor works for you!! 🙏🏼❤️
@@MamaBear_2629 ok great I will Keep an eye out for your email! Wow I’m so sorry about that whole scenario! That sounds very stressful and everything but I’m so glad you got to at least have another baby with somebody else. Well I will keep an eye out for your email hopefully it won’t go to my spam folder I’m sure I’ll be able to recognize it!😊
Andrea I was SO excited for you. The happiness you were expressing, I was so happy to see. Then the kick in the throat at the end. Oh I am so sorry you are going through this. I still pray for you. Please keep strength and keep trying. Squeeze Hannah a little tighter. This will happen for you. PS- I have a bunch of easy @ home LH and HSG I can send you for free that I am no longer using if you’d like? You’re in my prayers.
Thank you Krystle! Yes it was a pretty hard blow to lose it after all of that. You are so sweet for your offer but I actually just bought a bunch of tests so I have a good supply for a while🥰 I hope you are doing well and feeling good!💕
@@andreapoole4778 I’m sure it was/is tough. I am feeling much better now. For a while, I was feeling pretty sick and couldn’t eat. Anyway, I’m looking forward to your next video and wishing you the best.
I got excited for you! I had a pregnancy test just like your last one and then AF showed up 4 days later 😞 started ovulation testing again and hopefully it’s my last. Hugs 🤗💖
Oh no I’m so sorry that is so disappointing. I hope the next one is successful and stays positive with a baby at the end of it! I’m believing for my miracle next cycle and I will for you too!💕
Chemical pregnancies are the worst I'm so sorry you went through that I've had a few myself. I hope your doing all good it's honestly so difficult you see positives and your start dreaming and hoping and counting down days til you meet baby then... It's ripped from under you and then you have to sit in a pool of your own blood and feel completely misarable I hate it
Yeah it’s very disappointing and sad and I hate it too. I do think about who they were and if it was a boy or a girl and what they would’ve looked like and been like. It’s really hard.❤️
I'm so sorry Andrea... I have been hanging out for you to post too!! I am 42 and had a miscarriage at 9w3d in June and a chemical pregnancy also this month. My heart breaks for you.
@@andreapoole4778 thankyou 🥰 I could sit an watch your videos all day I love how real they are and can relate to the excitement of those opk tests that I use too. I have older kids... but our little surprise girl dakotah was born in 2020 she is almost 18mnths now so I know its most likely my egg quality. We are actually turning to ivf next cycle as our final try to give Dakotah a sibling My bloodtest came back great and my AMH(ovarian reserve) is high my fertility specialist said he expects to see that number in a 25yr old but unfortunately it doesn't mean good egg quality so I think this is the issue now. But we only need that ONE good egg. I will keep you posted and I can't wait untill your next opk vlog is posted xx
@@alanaadam9067 wow that’s great that your reserve is so high!! I tried ivf so I know how that is! I hope you get some good quality eggs in your retrieval and I would love updates!♥️🥰
Oh no! I guess this bubba just wasn't ready, needed to make way for the one that would stick 💕 I was in tears with your positive and in tears by the end again. So sorry mumma, you've got this, it's a long journey but you're so strong and brave.
Thank you so much! Yeah it’s really hard and the losses are really getting old but I’m not quite done yet and hopefully the next one will be the one that sticks around! I’m tired of the losses.❤️😔
Just a suggestion. Trying so hard to concieve but still drinking coffee just doesn't make sense. Have you not tried to cut coffee completely?? Caffeine really effects our fertility, so just removing it to see if that helps is a no brainer right? Especially if you're having trouble conceiving?? Just a thought .. Good luck muma and thank you for your video x
Hi Rebecca thank you for your comment. I have been to fertility specialists and my husband was seen by a urologist for his fertility and they all confirm that it’s not about caffeine or wine or taking the right supplements or anything like that. It’s all about hormonal balance and overall health and the fact that I have an extremely low AMH along with being at the end of my maternal age, which was how one specialist put it. If it were about coffee none of us would be here. Plus they wouldn’t tell women it’s OK to drink coffee so long as they keep it at 200 to 300 mg a day. I would love that to be the answer and for some women they probably shouldn’t drink coffee at all if they have other medical issues. Having my 2 cups of coffee in the morning and water the rest of the day never stopped me from getting pregnant and having a successful pregnancy with my daughter. I have also gotten pregnant 11 times in the last year and a half and it really comes down to egg quality due to advanced maternal age. Because I ovulate it is always possible but I have less than 2 to 3% of a chance because of those factors alone. And I keep trying because it’s hard not to have hope that one good egg could come through, it just becomes very expensive when the sperm is not free like a lot of women get to have.Thank you for your encouragement!
@@andreapoole4778 but if its a hormonal factor then caffeine would, most definitely effect that. Even if your doctor has told you it isn't specifically caffeine, wouldn't you still remove it, just to see if it helps? I mean, its worth a try right? At this point I would be doing absolutely everything to maximise my chances, whether or not it isnt specifically that ( not that anyone would know any way) caffeine definitely effects a whole load of stuff inside us. So just removing it wouldn't harm you. Just to eliminate that. Sending you love and positivity ♥️🤗 i really hope you get your BFP soon ❤ 🙏🏽
@@bexletra thank you yes I have tried just about everything and I would do anything and I have done what you’re suggesting. I’ve also taken all of the recommended supplements for years now as well. Everything is always worth a try. But a lot of women end up going crazy trying to eat all of the perfect organic foods, not drinking coffee wine or soda. And taking all of the most popular purest supplements they can afford and in the end it all sometimes is money and effort down the drain. I’m not trying to be negative I definitely appreciate your comment and encouragement and trust me I have gone above and beyond in my efforts for overall health to give myself the best chances to conceive a healthy baby. I think that’s probably why I have been able to conceive as many times as I have but when it comes down to it, it’s about the egg and the quality of the egg. I have been tested extensively for my reproductive health along with The full panel of genetic testing that you could possibly get, and my issue is being an older woman with older eggs. But I do really appreciate your positivity and wanting to help! That is what is so nice about this TTC community of women that are looking out for each other and wanting to help each other in anyway they can. It definitely means a lot! ❤️
@@andreapoole4778 sounds like you've really tried everything. And I hope this happens for you and your family. Your video on the clear blue ovulation sticks is what made me find your account and watch your videos. That video in particular (the clear blue opk) really helped me better understand those tests also as I'm new to ovulation tests. So I've been looking at videos on how to use them properly and today I had my first static smiley. But I was kind of confused as I'd had empty circles for the past week and then one flashing smiley yesterday, so when I saw that, I thought I'd has a good couple of days of the flashing smiley to prepare (♥️) but then this morning I had a solid smiley. I didnt know it would only give me one day of the flashing.. Im 32 and have 3 sons, I've had 3 miscarriages (12 weeks, 17weeks, 8weeks) and a whole bunch of chemicals pregnancies. So I do understand your struggle. It took almost 2 years to get pregnant with my second son, it took 3 years with my 3rd son (hes now 3) and now I'm prepping to try for a 4th. I never did anything like ovulation tests or bbt tracking with any of my other kids. But this time I want to try for a girl, so I really am trying to gather as much information as I can and really know my body better than ever before to try for a dd. This is literally my final chance (and even this is risky due to already having 3 c sections) But I thought I'd let you know that you're not alone. And I really do hope you get your miracle soon 🙏 ✨ 💕
@@bexletra wow that’s great! I’m so happy for you! And thanks I’m glad that my ovulation test video was useful I just wanted to show all of the different circumstances that can happen with those tests. I never really did it according to the directions. But with the purple holder test clearBlue Tells you to test with first morning urine so that it may pick up that flashing smiley face estrogen rise. But a lot of women like me often times skip the flashing smiley face altogether which is totally OK. And if you want you can save your purple holder and next time buy the pink holder and save five dollars and you can totally use the pink test sticks with the purple holder. They both work interchangeably in case you wanted to play with both holders in the next cycle.I’m really sorry about your miscarriages and chemical pregnancies and I’m so happy that you could have three wonderful blessings with you today. Good luck with your baby number four and let me know when you get your BFP! That is very exciting!😊
Comparing the ovulation tests initially to now it looks like u might have either ovulated twice or your body geared up to ovulate and didn’t and ovulated later and that’s why your period is late. Either Way I’m sorry this cycle didn’t end the way you hoped. Don’t stop!!! Keep going! It’ll happen! I’m on my journey as well it’s been a year of trying so I totally empathize.
Thank you so much Ashley! I hope everything is going well for you and that you get your BFP soon! I definitely ovulated on cycle day 11. I think because of the embryo struggling the hCG just kind of came and went because there’s no way that I could get pregnant again a week later because I use donor sperm and I only inseminated with one vial on cycle day 11 and the sperm couldn’t possibly live long enough for me to ovulate and get pregnant again the following week. I only inseminate with one vial each cycle and so that’s how I’m able to know exactly when things happened plus I do get ovulation pain which definitely helps pinpoint when ovulation was. And then of course using only one vial of sperm it’s helpful to know that that’s about when conception happened as well. The test being positive every other day has happened to me before that also ended in chemical pregnancies.It’s hard to go through so many but it’s hard to know when that good egg will come through and it’s just a matter of trying like you said and not stopping. Thank you for your comment I appreciate your comment!😊❤️
I’m so sorry you had to go through that I cried watching this I am currently 17dpo waiting to start my period all the tests are negative I’ve had brown spotting, cramping just waiting for the old hag to show her face so I can start fertility treatments
I’m so sorry all the tests were negative. What kind of fertility treatment are you starting? I hope it all goes well and that next time is your BFP! Don’t give up because it’ll eventually come, and pregnancy will become your reality!💕
Wow I’m so sorry you had false positives! That’s crazy! Mine definitely was not. I like to confirm with other brands just in case and had two others that were positive also, not to mention a positive opk all week which will be positive if you are pregnant. Yeah the First Response are giving bad evaporation lines too which is not good either.
The Walmart cheapy tests also do the same thing. I think a lot of pregnancy test have been giving a lot of evap lines. The quality just isn’t that great on tests anymore. That’s why you should always have blood work done at a clinic. That’ll never lie. Pregnancy tests are super disappointing.
Awh nooo😪😭 I really thought that this was it for you!! I found out with ovulation tests I took a pregnancy test was negative so I took a OPK as I ran out of hcg tests and it was super dark and I just know wasn’t till over a week that I got a faint positive and it just kept building up from there! I’m so sorry 😓xxx
Yes I just couldn’t believe my ovulation tests were still so dark and positive consistently the whole time. That’s what kept giving me hope as my hCG test would come and go. This was definitely a rough couple of weeks.It’s hard to finally get a positive after trying for the last 10 months never seeing a positive test just to have it taken away. Thank you for your support I really appreciate it and I hope your pregnancy is going well.❤️❤️
@@lozzabean2357 hey! I would never delete your comments! Is it gone? I am sure I read it and hearted it. I will check. Is it about your pregnancy? I remember asking how it’s going. I will check but if you don’t see it can you send it again?💕
@@lozzabean2357 Wow I’m surprised it’s gone I wonder what happened! Wow you’re having a girl! That’s amazing I’m so excited for you! Having a girl is so much fun although they are coming out with a lot of really good boy clothes these days. Every time I go shopping I get in trouble when I walk by the girls section I always have to buy something cute. I think my most favorite thing to buy were pajamas since she seemed to outgrow them every three weeks or so. Have you picked out a name yet I know it’s still early although some people always know what they’re going to name their child but for me I pretty much decided last minute that I was going to stick with a family name. Hannah is the name that my mom was actually going to name me and it was after her mother so in a way I named her after me which was named after my grandmother ha ha! I guess you could say I cheated.😆
You could try coQ10 and DHEA supplements 3 times a day for two months. I did this before going through my third round of IVF. Maybe ask a doctor first because you’ll want to come off of them a week before getting pregnant. My infertility specialist doctor had me try it stating that he’s seen the best results after 60 days of the supplements. These supplements can help the quality of your eggs. I believe had I not taken them before my third round of IVF I would not be 33 weeks pregnant with my second child. I’m 37 years old. I’ve had many years of infertility struggles. So maybe this could be a route for you before your next insemination. Just wanted to share with you what helped me with egg quality.
Hi Carissa! Congratulations I’m so happy for you! Yes I’ve been taking Co q 10 for years And I used to take DHEA but I never had a blood test to prove that I actually needed the DHEA and after seeing what a lot of the fertility specialists said about it and especially taking it when your body didn’t need it, I decided not to take it anymore. And I do like supplements and I do take all of the other recommended supplements and it really just comes down to egg quality at this age with low amh that supplements just can’t cure. But I do like them and I do take them because I do believe it can help with overall health and fertility. 😊💕
Missed period... Can take up to 5 days after to show on tests, they say test as late as possible... Up to 3 weeks after ovulation. Thinking of you (pcos sufferer)
You started your period after the last test???? I got confused. The test was positive so your pregnant right???? I was flipping out with you and Hannah is so sweet asking you what’s going on lol
Awwww so happy for you , I just started following you last week but you story touched me so much and I prayed for God to bless you am so happy for you . You have been so strong in this journey awwww I pray the baby stays can’t wait to see him or her 🎈💕💕💕💕💕💕💗💗💗💗💗💗💗🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💕💕💕💕
@@laurenhuson4090 to be honest I didn’t cause I was at work while I was watching I’m an officer that’s y couldn’t watched till end cause got emergency call had to go
Hi Henneke thank you for watching my video. Actually IVF is not the way at this point because egg quality is more likely to be poor which means having a $12,000 egg retrieval to have three poor quality eggs not make healthy embryos is a huge waste of money and time. That is why in my fertility story video I explained that my doctor pretty much begged me to get an egg donor because the likelihood of my own eggs being good quality for any egg retrieval was At an extremely low percentage of 2 to 3% also my body did not respond well to the medication and it took several IVF attempts just to get one egg retrieval where I only got two eggs retrieved that were normal. And because I am not interested in having another woman’s baby I am not going to get an egg donor and do IVF. I’m going to try again like I did when I was 41 and have one good healthy egg comes through that is my egg so that I can have my child. I have seen many women as old as 45 years old including a personal friend of mine get pregnant with their own egg at 45 and have a healthy normal child so it is possible and can be done and IVF is not the answer.
What was driving me crazy was being two weeks late on my period with positive tests coming and going. Of course I’m going to take tests if my period is two weeks late 😁
I'm so sorry you are going through this, I habe experienced chemical pregnancies and there is no words to describe the feeling of loss even so early on. As soon as you see that second line you start dreaming of the new life you ard going to have. I really hope that you are doing ok and you seem to have so much support here! Sending baby dust your way 💓

I can't believe it. I really thought this was it. Sorry you have to go thru this. This must have been a painful, wird confusing cycle for you. My heart goes out to you♥️I hope your able to find a good Dr.
Thank you so much. I hope so too. Good doctors are hard to find❤️
Oh Andrea, I am so sorry. I have messaged you. I was at work watching this and was so excited for you, then gutted to see the outcome. Lots of love to you xxxx
Thank you Sonia! Yes it was very disappointing to say the least. Thank you for all of your support I really appreciate it! I will try to write back when I can thank you for your messages!💕
Nooo!!! I’m so sorry! I was so excited for you and then so sad! We’ve also been trying for quite a while so I know the disappointment every month! Sending back baby dust your way!
Thank you! Yes it is draining at times getting so close just to lose it all. ❤️❤️
I'm so sorry Andrea. Big hug!❤
Thank you Diane!♥️♥️♥️
😭😭😭 crying because I was happy, and now I'm crying because I'm sad 😔 Praying for your rainbow
Oh Thank you so much Jacquie! I’ve done my fair share of crying also. It’s really hard to finally get a positive after 10 months of never seeing one positive pregnancy test just to lose it all. Thank you so much for your prayers, I definitely need them as always.💕
Have you considered taking vitex. Tried that and got pregnant first month of not trying.
That’s great! Yes I have taken vitex in the past for long periods of time but decided to stop. My periods are very regular and I always have a very strong ovulation. I didn’t really see a need for it even though I totally believe it is a beneficial supplement. I focus more on the egg quality supplements. I get pregnant very easily but because of my age, quality of egg has been the struggle. I am still very hopeful that the good egg is coming soon and my daughter will get to have a sibling to grow up with. Thank you so much!❤️
@@andreapoole4778 my periods were irregular until I tried vitex. But I'm sure you will get your desire. Sending you hugs and prayers 🌹
@@lynp5988 wow I’m so glad vitex worked for you! I love natural remedies. Thank you so much for your encouragement, I always need and appreciate it!😊💕
Aw Andrea I’m so sorry this just sucks chemical pregnancies are soul destroying you get all excited even though we know the chance of miscarriage we see that line then have it fade and test go negative there’s no words to describe it I’m praying next cycle will be it for you ❤️🥰
I’m so sorry this month wasn’t it for you :( praying for October!!🙏🏼💜
Also, if you’re comfortable sharing of course! On your other video I heard you mention you use NWCryo? I did as well to conceive my daughter and now am pregnant again (13w2d) with nwcryo. I was just wondering what donor you used?? I know it’s suuuper unlikely we used the same donor but just curious because that would be awesome if we did and to stay connected (if you wanted of course!!) but again, I know it’s a long shot!! Regardless good luck to you!! You’re in my thoughts!! 💗
Oh wow you get your sperm from the same bank! How cool! Yes you can email me at ascholz1977@gmail.com and we can share donors. Congratulations on your pregnancy! So your second must be from the same donor then? I was really hoping to have one more from my daughter’s donor.
@@andreapoole4778 I’ll be sending you a email :) tonight! Sadly, no, they have different donors. I’m so upset I had to use different donors because you know how if you confirm a pregnancy with NWCryo they will email you if your donor has like minimal vials left so you have a chance to buy more before they become “retired”? So, basically I was waiting to start conceiving baby number 2 because I only had 2 vials left over from my donor when I tried with my daughter and NWCryo said in January of 2021 they’d be releasing the “final vials” for my daughters donor.. well I was sooooo distraught when I got an email saying the samples they have didn’t pass all of the criteria it needed to be released so I was stuck. I had 2 vials left from my daughters donor and I knew I’d need a miracle, and sadly when I tried for my second baby it didn’t work the first or second time, so that miracle wasn’t answered in the first try and actually I did 4 IUI’s AFTER that first and second one with my daughters donor and no luck so I had to move onto IVF! Which I was shocked because my daughters only 20 months old! As I got pregnant with her the 3rd IUI! And I think to myself damn, if only I knew I needed IVF this time I would have went straight to it and used those last vials :( which thank the lord IVF worked, but I’m so sad I wasn’t able To give her a full sibling! But I know DNA is just part of it and not everything! It’s just still dry very upsetting to me :/ I’m praying this last vial of your donor works for you!! 🙏🏼❤️
@@MamaBear_2629 ok great I will Keep an eye out for your email! Wow I’m so sorry about that whole scenario! That sounds very stressful and everything but I’m so glad you got to at least have another baby with somebody else. Well I will keep an eye out for your email hopefully it won’t go to my spam folder I’m sure I’ll be able to recognize it!😊
Andrea I was SO excited for you. The happiness you were expressing, I was so happy to see. Then the kick in the throat at the end. Oh I am so sorry you are going through this. I still pray for you. Please keep strength and keep trying. Squeeze Hannah a little tighter. This will happen for you.
PS- I have a bunch of easy @ home LH and HSG I can send you for free that I am no longer using if you’d like? You’re in my prayers.
Thank you Krystle! Yes it was a pretty hard blow to lose it after all of that. You are so sweet for your offer but I actually just bought a bunch of tests so I have a good supply for a while🥰 I hope you are doing well and feeling good!💕
@@andreapoole4778 I’m sure it was/is tough. I am feeling much better now. For a while, I was feeling pretty sick and couldn’t eat. Anyway, I’m looking forward to your next video and wishing you the best.
I'm so sorry , I had a chemical last time and I also kept getting very light lines for days and days. It's terrible
Oh really, I’m sorry 😞 Yes it is terrible. I hope you are doing ok and can try again. And hopefully you get a positive that stays next time.❤️❤️❤️
I got excited for you! I had a pregnancy test just like your last one and then AF showed up 4 days later 😞 started ovulation testing again and hopefully it’s my last. Hugs 🤗💖
Oh no I’m so sorry that is so disappointing. I hope the next one is successful and stays positive with a baby at the end of it! I’m believing for my miracle next cycle and I will for you too!💕
@@andreapoole4778 it’ll be for us both!! 🤨💖
What a crazy rollercoaster 😯sorry it ended in a period. Praying the next one sticks🤞
Yes it was definitely a roller coaster ride I do not want to do again. Thank you so much!❤️
I'm so sorry 😞. I have had similar experiences, it is heartbreaking.
I'm so sorry 😞
Hugs and lots of baby dust to you🧡
Thank you so much Kristel💕
Chemical pregnancies are the worst I'm so sorry you went through that I've had a few myself. I hope your doing all good it's honestly so difficult you see positives and your start dreaming and hoping and counting down days til you meet baby then... It's ripped from under you and then you have to sit in a pool of your own blood and feel completely misarable I hate it
Yeah it’s very disappointing and sad and I hate it too. I do think about who they were and if it was a boy or a girl and what they would’ve looked like and been like. It’s really hard.❤️
I'm so sorry Andrea... I have been hanging out for you to post too!!
I am 42 and had a miscarriage at 9w3d in June and a chemical pregnancy also this month. My heart breaks for you.
Oh wow I am so sorry! Oh that makes me sad. I hope your next cycle is the one! All we can do is keep trying. Please let me know how it goes💕💕
@@andreapoole4778 thankyou 🥰 I could sit an watch your videos all day I love how real they are and can relate to the excitement of those opk tests that I use too. I have older kids... but our little surprise girl dakotah was born in 2020 she is almost 18mnths now so I know its most likely my egg quality. We are actually turning to ivf next cycle as our final try to give Dakotah a sibling
My bloodtest came back great and my AMH(ovarian reserve) is high my fertility specialist said he expects to see that number in a 25yr old but unfortunately it doesn't mean good egg quality so I think this is the issue now. But we only need that ONE good egg. I will keep you posted and I can't wait untill your next opk vlog is posted xx
@@alanaadam9067 wow that’s great that your reserve is so high!! I tried ivf so I know how that is! I hope you get some good quality eggs in your retrieval and I would love updates!♥️🥰
@@andreapoole4778 yes I will give you updates for sure. I did ivf 16yrs ago which resulted in twin boys but again my eggs are way older now haha
@@alanaadam9067 oh wow! That’s great! Ok Looking forward to hearing how it all goes!😊
Awww, praying for you to become successful.
Oh goodness this is so heartbreaking made me cry !! I am so so sorry
Thank you so much ♥️♥️
So sorry you’re going through this. You’re rainbow is coming ❤️
Thank you Malkia💕
I just got my positive today is well hun congratulations to hun lots of baby dust your way 👣👣👣
Oh That’s wonderful congratulations!💕💕
Oh no! I guess this bubba just wasn't ready, needed to make way for the one that would stick 💕 I was in tears with your positive and in tears by the end again. So sorry mumma, you've got this, it's a long journey but you're so strong and brave.
Thank you so much! Yeah it’s really hard and the losses are really getting old but I’m not quite done yet and hopefully the next one will be the one that sticks around! I’m tired of the losses.❤️😔
Just a suggestion. Trying so hard to concieve but still drinking coffee just doesn't make sense. Have you not tried to cut coffee completely?? Caffeine really effects our fertility, so just removing it to see if that helps is a no brainer right? Especially if you're having trouble conceiving??
Just a thought .. Good luck muma and thank you for your video x
Hi Rebecca thank you for your comment. I have been to fertility specialists and my husband was seen by a urologist for his fertility and they all confirm that it’s not about caffeine or wine or taking the right supplements or anything like that. It’s all about hormonal balance and overall health and the fact that I have an extremely low AMH along with being at the end of my maternal age, which was how one specialist put it. If it were about coffee none of us would be here. Plus they wouldn’t tell women it’s OK to drink coffee so long as they keep it at 200 to 300 mg a day. I would love that to be the answer and for some women they probably shouldn’t drink coffee at all if they have other medical issues. Having my 2 cups of coffee in the morning and water the rest of the day never stopped me from getting pregnant and having a successful pregnancy with my daughter. I have also gotten pregnant 11 times in the last year and a half and it really comes down to egg quality due to advanced maternal age. Because I ovulate it is always possible but I have less than 2 to 3% of a chance because of those factors alone. And I keep trying because it’s hard not to have hope that one good egg could come through, it just becomes very expensive when the sperm is not free like a lot of women get to have.Thank you for your encouragement!
@@andreapoole4778 but if its a hormonal factor then caffeine would, most definitely effect that. Even if your doctor has told you it isn't specifically caffeine, wouldn't you still remove it, just to see if it helps? I mean, its worth a try right? At this point I would be doing absolutely everything to maximise my chances, whether or not it isnt specifically that ( not that anyone would know any way) caffeine definitely effects a whole load of stuff inside us. So just removing it wouldn't harm you. Just to eliminate that.
Sending you love and positivity ♥️🤗 i really hope you get your BFP soon ❤ 🙏🏽
@@bexletra thank you yes I have tried just about everything and I would do anything and I have done what you’re suggesting. I’ve also taken all of the recommended supplements for years now as well. Everything is always worth a try. But a lot of women end up going crazy trying to eat all of the perfect organic foods, not drinking coffee wine or soda. And taking all of the most popular purest supplements they can afford and in the end it all sometimes is money and effort down the drain. I’m not trying to be negative I definitely appreciate your comment and encouragement and trust me I have gone above and beyond in my efforts for overall health to give myself the best chances to conceive a healthy baby. I think that’s probably why I have been able to conceive as many times as I have but when it comes down to it, it’s about the egg and the quality of the egg. I have been tested extensively for my reproductive health along with The full panel of genetic testing that you could possibly get, and my issue is being an older woman with older eggs. But I do really appreciate your positivity and wanting to help! That is what is so nice about this TTC community of women that are looking out for each other and wanting to help each other in anyway they can. It definitely means a lot! ❤️
@@andreapoole4778 sounds like you've really tried everything. And I hope this happens for you and your family. Your video on the clear blue ovulation sticks is what made me find your account and watch your videos. That video in particular (the clear blue opk) really helped me better understand those tests also as I'm new to ovulation tests. So I've been looking at videos on how to use them properly and today I had my first static smiley. But I was kind of confused as I'd had empty circles for the past week and then one flashing smiley yesterday, so when I saw that, I thought I'd has a good couple of days of the flashing smiley to prepare (♥️) but then this morning I had a solid smiley. I didnt know it would only give me one day of the flashing..
Im 32 and have 3 sons, I've had 3 miscarriages (12 weeks, 17weeks, 8weeks) and a whole bunch of chemicals pregnancies. So I do understand your struggle. It took almost 2 years to get pregnant with my second son, it took 3 years with my 3rd son (hes now 3) and now I'm prepping to try for a 4th. I never did anything like ovulation tests or bbt tracking with any of my other kids. But this time I want to try for a girl, so I really am trying to gather as much information as I can and really know my body better than ever before to try for a dd. This is literally my final chance (and even this is risky due to already having 3 c sections)
But I thought I'd let you know that you're not alone. And I really do hope you get your miracle soon 🙏 ✨ 💕
@@bexletra wow that’s great! I’m so happy for you! And thanks I’m glad that my ovulation test video was useful I just wanted to show all of the different circumstances that can happen with those tests. I never really did it according to the directions. But with the purple holder test clearBlue Tells you to test with first morning urine so that it may pick up that flashing smiley face estrogen rise. But a lot of women like me often times skip the flashing smiley face altogether which is totally OK. And if you want you can save your purple holder and next time buy the pink holder and save five dollars and you can totally use the pink test sticks with the purple holder. They both work interchangeably in case you wanted to play with both holders in the next cycle.I’m really sorry about your miscarriages and chemical pregnancies and I’m so happy that you could have three wonderful blessings with you today. Good luck with your baby number four and let me know when you get your BFP! That is very exciting!😊
Sending lots of baby dust 👶🏽
Comparing the ovulation tests initially to now it looks like u might have either ovulated twice or your body geared up to ovulate and didn’t and ovulated later and that’s why your period is late.
Either Way I’m sorry this cycle didn’t end the way you hoped. Don’t stop!!! Keep going! It’ll happen! I’m on my journey as well it’s been a year of trying so I totally empathize.
Thank you so much Ashley! I hope everything is going well for you and that you get your BFP soon! I definitely ovulated on cycle day 11. I think because of the embryo struggling the hCG just kind of came and went because there’s no way that I could get pregnant again a week later because I use donor sperm and I only inseminated with one vial on cycle day 11 and the sperm couldn’t possibly live long enough for me to ovulate and get pregnant again the following week. I only inseminate with one vial each cycle and so that’s how I’m able to know exactly when things happened plus I do get ovulation pain which definitely helps pinpoint when ovulation was. And then of course using only one vial of sperm it’s helpful to know that that’s about when conception happened as well. The test being positive every other day has happened to me before that also ended in chemical pregnancies.It’s hard to go through so many but it’s hard to know when that good egg will come through and it’s just a matter of trying like you said and not stopping. Thank you for your comment I appreciate your comment!😊❤️
I’m so sorry you had to go through that I cried watching this I am currently 17dpo waiting to start my period all the tests are negative I’ve had brown spotting, cramping just waiting for the old hag to show her face so I can start fertility treatments
I’m so sorry all the tests were negative. What kind of fertility treatment are you starting? I hope it all goes well and that next time is your BFP! Don’t give up because it’ll eventually come, and pregnancy will become your reality!💕
First response is giving a bunch of false positives I had 4 of them just this month.
Wow I’m so sorry you had false positives! That’s crazy! Mine definitely was not. I like to confirm with other brands just in case and had two others that were positive also, not to mention a positive opk all week which will be positive if you are pregnant. Yeah the First Response are giving bad evaporation lines too which is not good either.
The Walmart cheapy tests also do the same thing. I think a lot of pregnancy test have been giving a lot of evap lines. The quality just isn’t that great on tests anymore. That’s why you should always have blood work done at a clinic. That’ll never lie.
Pregnancy tests are super disappointing.
Awh nooo😪😭 I really thought that this was it for you!! I found out with ovulation tests I took a pregnancy test was negative so I took a OPK as I ran out of hcg tests and it was super dark and I just know wasn’t till over a week that I got a faint positive and it just kept building up from there! I’m so sorry 😓xxx
Yes I just couldn’t believe my ovulation tests were still so dark and positive consistently the whole time. That’s what kept giving me hope as my hCG test would come and go. This was definitely a rough couple of weeks.It’s hard to finally get a positive after trying for the last 10 months never seeing a positive test just to have it taken away. Thank you for your support I really appreciate it and I hope your pregnancy is going well.❤️❤️
@@andreapoole4778 not sure if you saw my last comment or if you deleted it? I hope I haven’t upset you or anything and I hope your okay xxx
@@lozzabean2357 hey! I would never delete your comments! Is it gone? I am sure I read it and hearted it. I will check. Is it about your pregnancy? I remember asking how it’s going. I will check but if you don’t see it can you send it again?💕
@@andreapoole4778 yeah it’s gone I was hopping I didn’t do anything to upset you! And yes I’m 19 weeks nearly 20 and having a baby girl xxxx
@@lozzabean2357 Wow I’m surprised it’s gone I wonder what happened! Wow you’re having a girl! That’s amazing I’m so excited for you! Having a girl is so much fun although they are coming out with a lot of really good boy clothes these days. Every time I go shopping I get in trouble when I walk by the girls section I always have to buy something cute. I think my most favorite thing to buy were pajamas since she seemed to outgrow them every three weeks or so. Have you picked out a name yet I know it’s still early although some people always know what they’re going to name their child but for me I pretty much decided last minute that I was going to stick with a family name. Hannah is the name that my mom was actually going to name me and it was after her mother so in a way I named her after me which was named after my grandmother ha ha! I guess you could say I cheated.😆
You could try coQ10 and DHEA supplements 3 times a day for two months. I did this before going through my third round of IVF. Maybe ask a doctor first because you’ll want to come off of them a week before getting pregnant. My infertility specialist doctor had me try it stating that he’s seen the best results after 60 days of the supplements.
These supplements can help the quality of your eggs. I believe had I not taken them before my third round of IVF I would not be 33 weeks pregnant with my second child. I’m 37 years old.
I’ve had many years of infertility struggles.
So maybe this could be a route for you before your next insemination.
Just wanted to share with you what helped me with egg quality.
Hi Carissa! Congratulations I’m so happy for you! Yes I’ve been taking Co q 10 for years And I used to take DHEA but I never had a blood test to prove that I actually needed the DHEA and after seeing what a lot of the fertility specialists said about it and especially taking it when your body didn’t need it, I decided not to take it anymore. And I do like supplements and I do take all of the other recommended supplements and it really just comes down to egg quality at this age with low amh that supplements just can’t cure. But I do like them and I do take them because I do believe it can help with overall health and fertility. 😊💕
Missed period... Can take up to 5 days after to show on tests, they say test as late as possible... Up to 3 weeks after ovulation. Thinking of you (pcos sufferer)
Thanks Lucy!♥️
You started your period after the last test???? I got confused. The test was positive so your pregnant right???? I was flipping out with you and Hannah is so sweet
asking you what’s going on lol
Andrea was 5 weeks and 1 day pregnant and unfortunately it ended in loss. She put a note up at the end of the video explaining this.

Did u watch it all ...she's not pregnant x
@@laurenhuson4090 to be honest I didn’t cause I was at work while I was watching I’m an officer that’s y couldn’t watched till end cause got emergency call had to go
With those blue dye tests I’ve gotten so many that looked positive and they weren’t they suck and break your heart
Yes that is for sure! Not fun.
You must go for ivf, that's the only way forward if you want to get pregnant at your age.
Hi Henneke thank you for watching my video. Actually IVF is not the way at this point because egg quality is more likely to be poor which means having a $12,000 egg retrieval to have three poor quality eggs not make healthy embryos is a huge waste of money and time. That is why in my fertility story video I explained that my doctor pretty much begged me to get an egg donor because the likelihood of my own eggs being good quality for any egg retrieval was At an extremely low percentage of 2 to 3% also my body did not respond well to the medication and it took several IVF attempts just to get one egg retrieval where I only got two eggs retrieved that were normal. And because I am not interested in having another woman’s baby I am not going to get an egg donor and do IVF. I’m going to try again like I did when I was 41 and have one good healthy egg comes through that is my egg so that I can have my child. I have seen many women as old as 45 years old including a personal friend of mine get pregnant with their own egg at 45 and have a healthy normal child so it is possible and can be done and IVF is not the answer.
Thinking of you
I'm so sorry. :(
Hannah is so cute 🥰
Thank you!!❤️❤️
Or it's a possibility you just ovulated a little couple days later I just hope that you are pregnant and everything is going well for you
Thank you!😊
Im sorry you had to go through that :( a chemical pregnancy is very common though. But it does not make it feel any easier. Hugs
You had a chemical pregnancy.
Prayers this would mean better luck with the next round.
Sorry you went through that.....
Thank you Sally Anne. Yes this is my 11th loss. It is very hard knowing it happened just to lose it. It is very hard.
@Bashir Hassan you need to stop posting this crap on peoples channels. Stop trying to steal peoples money and giving false hope. GO AWAY!!!!!
you're driving yourself crazy with all the tests. This is not good.
What was driving me crazy was being two weeks late on my period with positive tests coming and going. Of course I’m going to take tests if my period is two weeks late 😁
