Congratulations on reaching your goal! You are so very deserving of it! PS my twins were the result of a frozen cycle after a failed fresh IVF.
Congratulations on making your goal!😉 I always say pray about everything. Take care and be blessed!
you deserve it. I have endometriosis and got pregnant after 5 years of trying and10 months post endo Surgery... don't worry Ayla, I'm sure baby is on the way. I'm very pleased I was able to donate...
I can so relate to this! There are so many hard/stressful decisions that come with infertility! We have decided to put any treatments aside and pursue foster care/foster to adopt. I am not sure what it is like in Canada but in TX it typically takes 3 months to get licensed (we start in Sep!! :)) and we are taking newborns-4 yrs and there is potential for foster to adopt and that is free! Obviously foster care is a big, emotional rollercoaster to go through and it definitely does not guarantee adoption, but there are babies and kiddos out there who desperately need foster parents to love them and give them a safe and happy environment to be in whether it is temporary or forever. And it is free to be a foster parent and to adopt through the foster system, at least here in TX.
You guys deserve it sooo much! so happy for this and I hope it skyrockets your hope! Keep the faith, never give up! It'll be so worth it! (talking to myself as well)
LOVE you guys!! You are sooooo loved!
I'm so happy everyone could come together and help in a little way. You guys are very deserving! Many prayers for your future family
Congrats on making your goal so quickly, I think it's a sign. You will know in your heart what the next step is.
You guys totally deserve this! We are rooting for you!

Love love love the new intro!!
I am bad at letting go but i recently did it and i feel 1000000 times better! Let Go and let God!! Give it all to him. It is all in his timing for a reason as hard as it may seem. God bless. Glad i could give you guys some money!
woo! so happy for you guys. you deserve it.
holy crap! a $500 donation! that's AMAZING. wow.
This is such an encouraging thing to watch unfold - it's just awesome that people were so generous and loving. It makes me hopeful for your journey as well seeing how many people are praying for you and loving on you during a hard time. And you guys are going to make amazing parents! The fact that your subscribers are so kind is a testament to how awesome you are! I'll be praying for you to have wisdom moving forward with your decision on embryo transfer vs adoption. However you bring a child into your home, your children are going to be loved and cherished by so many. I'm sad that your cycle didn't work out but I'm also excited for your future. I just know that good things are going to come to you and all of this pain and your ability to keep moving forward is proof of your love and perseverance for your children.
I couldn't think of a family mor deserving of help then yours
me either!
Thank you! That warms our hearts so much :)
Same they deserve it so much!
this is such a difficult decision for you guys!! whatever you choose I'm sure it will be the right decision!
What a blessing to have so many options! Not long ago adoptions were the only way to have a baby when you were having infertility issues. Today IUI, IVF, and surrogacy, in two forms, are possible for those of us that are struggling with infertility. I can tell you the love you have stored in your heart for the child God gives you, will not be diminished one ounce by the way you have him or her. Children just melt your heart to the core. God bless your desire to become parents sooner than later:)
I think about you two daily. I do believe in my heart you will be parents. You both deserve to be so very much. You guys are always in my thoughts and prayers! 💜💙
I just have to say, Ellie is soooo freaking cute!! More of her please! :))
I'm praying for u guys! I'm sure your gonna be parents someway somehow !
I totally understand the gamble and frustrating and overwhelming feeling of what to do first or even what to do period. Decisions are hard. I was adopted from Korea at four months old as my mother went through her own infertility journey and made the choice that pursuing adoption versus treatment was the rift choice for building a family. I am four years into my infertility journey and my Husband and I don't feel called to adopt and its either gonna be a biology baby through treatment or nothing at all. We have decided at this point to do our first IUI next Spring. We have had to make choices financially as well as financially treatment and life in genera is expensive and its tough sometimes to decided which is biggest priority, especially when the yearning for parenthood is so strong. Um, my parents said international adoption was a awesome choice as they were able to get a guarantee of an infant to adopt versus here in America. There are a lot of different options for sure.
Wow that's amazing so many people helped you reach your goal. Self funding is very hard! My husband is level headed and in the emotional roller coaster too. My question is If a FET works and you have a baby would you keep transferring all your frozen embryos? How many children do you want? Xx
Make sure to look into the attain program if you consider doing a fresh round of ivf down the road. It's a flat rate and you get a certain amount of fresh and frozen and if you don't get pregnant they refund you a % of your money. I did it a few years back.
Q and A is there a reason you are not looking at the foster to adopt option, it's much cheaper for a start?
Hello,
I'm new to your channel, just wanted to say hi. If this helps were adopting a little girl, adopting Is so rewarding and amazing. Although there's nothing like your own child so it's whichever you value the most, but either way I'm sure you're family will come soon.x
Do you guys have foster care up there? My husband and I are currently being certified in the foster care system to hopefully adopt a baby or toddler while we continue our fertility journey. It's basically free to adopt from the foster system so that's the route we are taking... private adoption here is around $30,000 and we just can't do that. Best of luck in your information gathering and decision making process.
Great question! We'll try to answer this one for the Q & A so everyone can hear the response :) Congratulations on your amazing journey :)
hey guys. I have a question for the next video. My husband and I are also struggling to get pregnant and make a family. I was wondering if you had any tips or advice on what my first step should be in getting this all figured out. we are still praying and following you guys. thanks in advance.

I SO know what you are talking about with the annoying, nagging waiting time. That's the most strenuous part of it. And trust me, almost no couple gets through such a treatment "as planned". Because things not going as planned is what have brought us there. Hang in there.
From the first appointment to me actually getting pregnant with my son took one year and two weeks (I had a nurse look into my file at the last appointment because I wanted to know.) This year was full of obstacles and bumps in the road, and waiting time after waiting time. It's frustrating beyond expression. So. Hang in there. Positive thoughts all the way to you!
What an emotional journey and that's a really tough decision to make. Especially if your endo gets worse, then waiting to transfer the frozens while you adopt might not be the best call, but I guess that depends how long the adoption process is on average, and whether the other agency will let you transfer at the same time. At least if you adopt first like you said you know that you will end up with a child at the end, and after all this heartbreak that would be a relief I'm sure. Good luck with whatever you choose!
Good luck to you both look like we may be do our frozen cycle at the same time . adoption in Australia is not so easy to get a baby they adopt 10 infant in our state last year .
Hi! I'm a new subscriber, so I'm just wondering... how did you two meet each other? :D Thanks in advance for answering my question!
I would talk to your doctor first to have better understanding if waiting with frozen transfer good idea based on your endometriosis. Meaning if it gets worth over time and Timor chances to get pregnant better now or couple years down the road. It would of helped me to know which route to go first. Pray about it and seal Gods direction too. His way is the best way!
❤️❤️❤️
hi...we have been ttc for over a year now with no answers...i did 5 failed rounds of clomid...and just had surgery last Friday to check for endometriosis. .i have stage 2 and my uterus wasnt shedding as it should. .praying this is our chance now...but im not confident. ..praying for you guys..if this last round of clomid doesnt work we move to IUI
I am not familiar with the numbers of infertility. How much is a transfer?
have you guys thought of snowflake babies. Also have you thought of going through the state to adopt? they pay for things ??? also to get more info you may want to join adoption support groups.
What I would do is do an independent homestudy (just through the state and not a private agency) and then you can be ready if a situation comes of for independent adoption. With independent Adoption you only have to pay for the lawyers and paperwork basically. You don't have an agency matching you, but if a situation occurs where someone says "I want you to adopt my baby" you are then ready to start the process. It's probably 1/3 of the cost as well! I believe Alex and Phil did an Independent adoption (not 100% sure).
Praying for wisdom as you move forward on all your decisions. I have totally been there as well with what road to take. In the end we chose foster care adoption (which is free but very much an emotional risk as the babies may end up going back home since the goal first is to give parents a chance to rehabilitate and if they don't then you are able to adopt). And now we are doing IVF after adopting our 2 baby boys 😊
In the end it will all work out and you will look back and be in awe and full of thankfulness!
Exactly! Birth mom contacted Alex and Phil. Maybe A & C will get lucky, too and not have to wait as long as they think :)
Ayla do you have heavy and clotty painful periods. sorry for such a strange question the reason why I ask if I suspect I have endo to I have very heavy painful periods myself.
How does adoption work in Canada? Are you considering an open or a closed adoption?
Is embryo adoption a possibility in Canada? In the US, adopting embryos is cheaper than normal adoption because you pay for the adoption of the embryos and then for the FET. Just something to think about; I believe the FET will work for you with your 5 day embryos.
this is great idea
If you were to adopt would you like to adopt a newborn rather than a toddler or vise versa?
I was thinking of surrogacy as well...that's another option
Have you looked into egg donar?
I have never gone through this dilemma but I would say that if I was going through what you been through, then I think that would be looking towards the adoption route now because no matter how long the wait is at least you would be more likely to have a baby/child at the end of the time rather than potentialy going through more heartbreak from failed transfers. your always in my thoughts and really can't think of any other two people who deserve to be parents more than you two do.
I looked up the gofundme page and couldn't find you guys under aylaancaleb :/
gofund.me/aylaancaleb :)
I can't click on the go fund me site!! I'll have to navigate around to find it. anyone else having this problem? maybe cause I'm on a mobile phone??
gofund.me/aylaancaleb Try it now! Thank you :)
How does your family feel about this fail IVF?
you guys deserve a baby so much! i think if i had to make your decision i would go for adoption first, like this you can do some happy planning for your baby and can really look forward to it without a doubt. the egg transfere i would do after so i am relaxed and happy while trying to conveive. just because i heard so often of cases where pregancys happened just because the stress of conceiving wasnt there anymore.. at least this is how it worked out for me. obviously most important is what your doctor recomends regarding your endometriosis. such a hard decision! sending lots of love
Hi guys, did you all research the NK Cells and Cytokines?
what's that
Waiting to hear back from my doctor about more info on this sort of thing. Thanks for the suggestion!
😂
Q: Would u only consider adopting an infant? If u could choose, would u pick a boy or girl?
At this time we really do only want to have a newborn. In the future there is a possibility we adopt a younger child. At this point gender does not matter and we would be overjoyed with either :)
God bless you and your family♡
Are you only looking at adopting newborns?
Or would you consider adopting an older child?
Have you thought about adopting a baby abroad, I mean if the waiting list is long where you are it means that babies get families quickly whereas in some countries kids are born in orphanages and stay until they're teenagers, in terrible conditions most of the time. One of my mums good friends has 2 adopted children from Somalia, she couldn't have children and her husband left her so she adopted there as in France the conditions are strict and being married is one of them. She first adopted a baby boy and the same mother had another child this year and asked if she would have her little girl as well so she went and got her too. They are both extremely happy now as is the lady. The process is easier and quicker as well. Anyway just an idea, if you want I could get her email or something so you could chat with her, she is French but is an English teacher so speaks English.
If you are interested further in this I would recommend 'This Gathered Nest' and 'Knorp and South' on RUclips :)
Have you thought about surrogacy? I have a friend who's daughter is carrying twins for a couple. Sharon
That's what I was thinking!
+jan maher they are pretty young though. Unless they find that she isn't able to carry a baby, cause she has never had a miscarriage
Ayla's mentioned it is very important for her to be the one carrying their child, so adoption and surrogacy are out of the equation- for them.
+Darien K they aré actually considering adoption now, just not sure what to do since they can get kicked out of the waiting list if she gets pregnant .
Surrogacy is only necessary if the woman can not carry a child. She can carry a child as far as they know. It's just their embryos aren't surviving so far but hopefully will this next round. Also, saw someone say they aren't considering adoption but they actually are. That's what they talk about in this video.
I was thinking, if you have embryo's; then a surrogate would be they obvious way to go with those embryo's??
what is the goal they reached ? how much money did they reached ?
they needed $3,000 and currently they are on $3290
+Kirsty B okay thanks
Definitely go watch Phil and Alex, they are amazing inspiration on adoption :) Also have you considered a surrogate?
Just to confuse you more! Have you thought about embryo donation!
Ayla and Caleb maybe try with adoption and then after u have the baby do the frozen embryo to give the baby a sibling
I love your videos and think you all will be great parents. I know how hard the wait and not knowing can be with infertility. Maybe you should increase your go fund me goal to give youself more options. Maybe you could raise enough money to see the best IF doctor out there or go ahead and get on the adoption wait list while trying to have your own sense you want to adopt even if you have your own. surly there is an agency out there who wont bump you off just because you fall pregnant. That rule just doesn't seem fair. Especially with there being a higher risk of miscarriage or other complications in women with Infertility problems. You all seem like the perfect choice for a expectant mom looking to place her baby. and I'm sure you want more then one. During my IF journey I had 3 MCs, and I know how hard this waiting and wondering is. So maybe having more then one thing in the works will help ease the discomfort of this journey. I hope you can raise enough money to be able to both have your own and adopt. best of luck
I am a new subscriber and I am trying to catch up on your story. I saw the thing about the donor sperm, is there a reason it didn't work? Are the embryos biologically Caleb's or from the donor? I don't mean this negatively or prying I am just trying to understand your whole process you have gone through. We are meeting with a fertility specialist for the first time at the end of the month and I am trying to understand all this "world". Whatever decision you guys make to grow your family will be the best for you, pray on it,look at all of your options and it will all work out.
Hi and welcome! Caleb suffers from severe male factor infertility making it difficult to conceive using his sperm. Our frozen embryo's are from the use of Ayla's eggs and then donor sperm. Good luck as you start meeting with your specialist! :)
Ok that makes sense. Thank you, and we wish you the best of luck too! :)
So many embryos are destroyed. Have you thought about adopting frozen embryos??? I am praying and rooting for your happily ever after. However it happens.
Would you ever use a surrogate? Or do embryo adoption? Best wishes :)
You are welcome. But I would suggest u research online for yourselves first. That's what my husband and I did. And as a matter of fact, he found it on his own and brought it to my attention. Please, please do this. These doctors are here to make money and the more we have to go back for ivf or frozen embryo transfers is more money in their pocket. A lot of doctors do not practice testing people for the Natural Killer cells or Cytokines because it is something they do not believe in. But so many woman have endured the heart break and disappointment because of their RE's don't believe in something that could possibly be keeping our embryos from attaching to our uterus.
I'm praying for u guys! I'm sure your gonna be parents someway somehow !
you guys deserve a baby so much! i think if i had to make your decision i would go for adoption first, like this you can do some happy planning for your baby and can really look forward to it without a doubt. the egg transfere i would do after so i am relaxed and happy while trying to conveive. just because i heard so often of cases where pregancys happened just because the stress of conceiving wasnt there anymore.. at least this is how it worked out for me. obviously most important is what your doctor recomends regarding your endometriosis. such a hard decision! sending lots of love
