    Thank you for sharing this. For everyone reading the comments, I know a couple who went through six rounds, all unsuccessful, so the gave up, sold their house and moved to a very large run down house, with a lot of work to be done. Within 3 months, she was pregnant naturally and they now have FOUR children, (all different ages)

    Evening Gaby and Tim, after following Tim for over a year I didn't realise you had Caspar with this treatment, this is a lovely story as Caspar is a credit to you both, didnt know it's so expensive either, was Holly conceived in the same way.

    • @GabyStarbuckx
      @GabyStarbuckx  Год назад +7

      Yes it’s been a really tough journey but he was definitely worth the wait. No holly took 3 months to conceive but I was only 22 at the time x

      God bless you both after all you have been through. I thought most NHS health trusts offered at least one free round of IVF. I suppose it's what is called a post code lottery. Anyhow, I'm glad you now have lovely Caspar. All you have to do now is get him to sleep through the night! Xx

    I've been following Tim for like a month now and now also you, Gaby, and this is the first time I saw that you welcomed your baby via IVF. I watched this video all the way through and it sounds like a nerve-wrecking process, which requires a lot of preparation beforehand, especially when it comes to money. But in the end it was worth it. Casper is the sweetest boy ever. 😍 Always happy to see him and you travelling with Tim. My biological clock is also ticking very loud (being 36 in 2 months), but I still have hope that I don't have to turn to IVW. I wish your whole family all the best and I'm excited to see where you'll be going next. :)

    @somaghosh1800 4 месяца назад +2

    Really appreciate you both sharing this. I think this gives hope to so many couples. We have expected being child free not by choice. In fact spoke about this in a blog I wrote as had several complications with endometriosis. I think the most important thing I learnt is making sure more couples discuss this sooner because it’s often not discussed enough. I can’t imagine the emotional upheaval you both must of experienced. Really happy to see you have beautiful Caspar.

Such a rollercoaster! Thank you for your videos ❤️

      Didn't realise you went through this Gaby. I know it's more common than people realise having problems conceiving a second child despite both prospective parents having no issues. Two of my female cousins both had sons but neither could conceive a second child. One went through 3 rounds of IVF, she had a healthy little girl. The other cousin decided to stick with the one child as she couldn't face IVF. Casper is adorable though, such beautiful little boy❤. Glad it all worked out.

    Hi Gaby and Tim... I have been following Tim for many years didn't know u had a channel and thought I would come check yours out. Have been binge watching all your videos. Can I just say wow didn't know you sang you have an amazing voice and loved watching your home and away video's of you singing. But can I add to this video tht my sister and her now ex husband literally was trying for years also and went for test and all sorts but nothing was found and they too tried everything, it got to the point tht they thought either one were lying to each other and didn't believe one another in their tests anyway tht had split up along down the line and got with different partners and both had kids, crazy aye. I just think whatever the problem was is tht when it come to having a baby some people's sperms and eggs just don't connect. Is a shame u both had to go through it this way, but so happy you both were able to have a baby. He is an absolute beautiful little boy with two amazing parents and big sister. 😊

    • @GabyStarbuckx
      @GabyStarbuckx  8 месяцев назад

      Aww thanks so much for this comment.. it’s lovely you r come over to watch my channel.. I appreciate it. The strange thing is we thought we would have to do ICSI where you force the speed in the egg.. but we had IVF so they were next to each other in a dish and connected naturally which was nice fir me and Tim in that respect.. it made us feel more connected. Yes we are completely besotted with casper.. we are fortunate and I’m grateful everyday xx

  • @hayleysmith7378

    Great video, it brought a lot of memories/feelings back. I went through years of trying, with nothing wrong with us either. We ended up doing 3 rounds of IUI and 2 rounds of IVF. It is a very heartbreaking/stressful experience, especially when the first round fails. Fortunately we were blessed with our Daughter on the 2nd round and she’s 15 months old now ♥️ x
