- A Pregnancy Test and Heartbreak | Our Fertility Journey Episode 3
Here is episode 3! I think half of you know what's about to happen (since I opened up a little mid last year) and the other half are thinking my happy ending (or beginning I guess?) starts here. If there's one thing this past few years has taught me, both with infertility and the pandemic, is that no matter how much we want and wish and plan and try...some things are just out of our control, or maybe it's just not the right time yet. But we can't give up! So our journey continues!!
Side note: If you're going through IVF try your hardest not to test at home (even though it sucks because you want to just be happy and celebrate at home like most 'normal pregnancies' you see) because you can get a false positive test or false negative test for several reasons. Just be aware of that!

Please watch until the end 🎢❤️
Always
i will, we lysm🤍
We love you so much 💗
absolutely ! :)
Thank you for sharing this journey with us. I can't imagine it was easy, but I'm over here supporting you both with my best wishes.
I’m so proud of you for sharing this, I know it wasn’t easy. These videos are going to help so many people to not feel so alone and give them strength to go through whatever it is they’re struggling with as well❤️
I heard about a similar case yesterday. Single mom, had only one viable fertilized egg and the embryo did not take. 😓 So many people walk around with a troubled heart. We need to be mindful of this and kinder to each other. Thank you for sharing. I will be praying for you both.
Hi, Sharla! I hope you're doing well! 😊 Can't wait for your next video... ✨
You are such a sweet friend, Sharla! I’ve watched you both for years and you two have really been there for each other through thick and thin 💕
Found a great song about infertility, Wounded by Maddie Wilson (If some people process their emotions with music 💛)
Well said 👏
Even though Tom is not very vocal on camera, I can see how supportive, loving and what an amazing husband he is to you. The way you look at each other warms my heart and I just know you will both be amazing parents. Your future baby will be so loved
Tom definitely seems like a very sweet and supportive man and I’m glad it’s him that Taylor is going through this with. There couldn’t be a more supportive husband for her to have and I wish them nothing but success with this.
Yes! I came here to say the same thing.
I'm my parents only child and their 4th attempt at IVF. Before me, my mom had a twin stillbirth and 2 miscarriages. I've spoken to both my parents about the entire experience. My dad, although he never had to go through the physical changes or put his body through ample amounts of stress, was emotionally impacted by losing all those babies. He says that after the third attempt, he was not keen on trying again because it would have been too painful to lose another child. However, he left the final decision to my mom given that it was her body that was being heavily manipulated and if she felt physically and emotionally strong enough for another attempt, he would support that decision wholeheartedly. She never had a doubt about that 4th attempt. No matter how depleting and heartbreaking the process had been on her. She is so strong and so resilient and I always remind myself when I get frustrated by her stubbornness, that it's the sole reason I exist haha. I'm 23 now. Anything is possible. I truly hope for you both to have your miracle baby some day. But most importantly, no matter what your journey is, make sure to take care of yourself along the way and recognize your incredible strength (both physical and mental), especially in the lowest of moments. You are so powerful.
as a woman struggling with infertility, it’s really beautiful to read this from the child’s perspective. so many depressed, emo kids out there, and I get it- but my worst nightmare is finally having a baby, and later they scream at me “I wish I were never born.”
I’m reading this and I’m in tears! Just so so so so emotional. I’m so happy for you that you have such amazing and wonderful parents.
@@fxjrulpzxi you lucky buck/Doe!!! ❤️❤️❤️
"I no longer see a woman who is inadequate, I see a woman who is unstoppable"
Thank you so much for sharing this journey. My cousin is going through IVF right now and I knew it was difficult, but really had no idea until I watched these. You've always been inspiring and able to see the positives, and I hope that your light reaches everyone that has or is going through this. Sending you lots of love!
Cari! I was just watching your new video with my morning coffee ☕️
Thanks for the love and good luck to your cousin! 🍀❤️
how every time something heartbreaking happened tom said “we’ll try again” “we’ll get it next time” 🥺🥺 he has believed in you this whole time and he won’t stop believing in you until the end
Yes, I love that ❤️ the love they share is beautiful
"Ok. Let's try again." Words spoken by a man who must have been shattered. Tom is a loving, a true partner, husband, a real man and best friend. You two are truly one unit. 🙏🏻😔👍
Just the comment I was looking for
I think people always forget that not everyone can just "get pregnant" at the drop of a hat. There are people out there who have 8 kids for selfish reasons and can't take care of any of them, and people that struggle to even have 1 and have the whole world to give. The expectations surrounding fertility are absolutely terrible and I hope everyone can be more compassionate. Thank you for sharing your experience Taylor!!!! 💕
Yeesh! Not everyone who is able to have many children does so for selfish reasons. And I'm sure that many women who struggle with infertility would jump at the chance to have a big family.
@@voodooprincess11 Strongly agree, just because some women can't have children doesn't mean that others who can owe them anything. Many people who cannot afford to have children end up with children due to lack of resources like contraception / sex education
@@voodooprincess11 It is actually selfish...It's not good for the kids and not good for the woman. More often than not if a woman has more than 5-6 kids its often due to the selfishness of the husband or her ignorance due to her upbringing. For some its even a business to go around countries that are more rich and gather unemployed benefits and make their kids begg...Ask any social worker. There are good families but its like only 1 in 10 such families the other 9 often have some huge issues and the kids suffer. Even when such families happen in the west the oldest kids in those families often become the mothers and fathers at age 5-6 changing diapers of their now 1-month-old sibling and protecting their 2-year-old sibling from hitting the table instead of studying or playing like their friends because their parents are working and even when 1 is staying at home like the mother, for example, more often than not she still makes the oldest 6-7 or 7-8-year-olds do parenting while she cleans or rest because while she has a 1 or 2 month-year-old she is surprised pregnant again...Kids from such families are vulnerable. Having 5 kids is fine especially 3 that is a great number if you can handle it...But as someone with many siblings I can tell you that even parents with only 2 kids struggle so imagine if you had enough to be a group in a daycare XD
More and more women are struggling with conception all the time, so it's doubly frustrating when people think it's just so easy.
@@lilithpeachy7721 Strongly disagree. In the US at least, contraception is free at pretty much any community college and Planned Parenthood and probably many other low income medical places; it's just that people don't bother even looking for help. Not having contraception is simply an excuse for bad decision making anyway. Can't get BCP/condoms? Well, then don't have sex. It's really not that difficult to use your brain, but people allow themselves to be ruled by their emotion and just want to fuck.
I’m an egg donor, I have to be honest, the process is pretty rough. So I can imagine how much pain you’ve been through, I hope everything goes well. The baby deserve good parents like you.
That’s such an incredibly selfless thing to do. Thank you ❤️
I was an egg donor in 2019, so I know the process can be demanding physically. Best of luck and take care of yourself. I know a little girl was born thank to my donation and the moment you realise you changed the life of a stranger is something that's so complex but gratifying.
@@muqades101 you guys are the angels of this world helping family accomplish their dreams.. thank u
This future baby is going to have an unimaginable amounts of anties and uncles online.
They don’t even know how badly they are wanted ❤️
aww thats so cute 🥰 and true!
Comments like this are so insensitive. There might never be a baby at all. It's just hurtful to put so much hope on the future when there's a slim chance of success.
@@Myumeful there also nothing wrong with wishing the utmost best for someone. And I’m a huge believer in calling things to actions. Law of attraction of a sort.
@@geegee_509 No, Maya is correct here.
@@kurosawa9857 you are both entitled to your opinions.
Who else remembers a video of Taylor’s where a fortune teller said she would have a baby in the year of a tiger?
It’s starting next year and I’m hoping the pregnancy will happen after your break!
Sending you all the love, support and a little tiger baby 🐯 ❤️
if it happens that fortune teller will be officially legit XD....
I literally never forgot 😅😅 hopefully she does get pregnant this year but we'll see 🙏🙏
OMG YES!!!
she’s due in March!!!! Fortune teller was right
the fortune teller was right 😭
When Tom said "OK! Let's try again". 🥺
You've got such a great supportive relationship. You've got this.
I truly hope these series have a heartwarming ending Taylor, my heart goes to you and your family!
I'm hoping because these episodes go a year back that they are sharing at a point they are expecting ;).
Hope so too!
@@Hiforest damn I wish 😍🥰
@@Hiforest They are
@@Hiforest you were so right, makes me so happy for them!
So i’m crying and imm not supposed to be crying cuz i just got my lashes done so i hate you. But also, omg love you so much. Love this fertility series. Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us!
joyce i love you too🥰
I actually think it's the best thing Taylor has done and the most honest series I've seen on TH-cam for years. Thanks Taylor for being so raw and honest with us all.
Legit watched this while I was waiting to pay for my lashes, the techs think i'm crazy
🤣 see you and your lashes Wednesday! ❤️
@@Taylor_R HAHAHAH
Your editing, storytelling and honesty is so lovely to watch. This topic is so taboo IRL and on social media so thank you so much for sharing this to make others feels less alone and to inform the rest of us what it’s like. You’ve really taught me so much about this reality that so many couples face so thank you! I’ll be eagerly waiting to watch the next chapter in this series 😊
He is the best when it comes to recovery pregnancy....

I just wanted to share my parents history. My parents wanted to have children, it was always in their plans. They tried for 13 years and after many treatments that were unsuccessful they just stopped trying. The doctors had told them that they couldn't have children and that they should just try to live as a couple without kids. And after 13 years, when they weren't trying, my mom got pregnant and here I am.
I've grown up hearing that story, and how hard it was, so thank you for sharing yours. I know it must be very difficult but I am sure it is very comforting for many people. I wish you the most fulfilling life and "*I hope your dreams stay big and your worries keep small*".
I have never wanted something so badly for someone whom I don’t personally know like I do for you. Sending you and Tom lots of love and prayers ❤️
This! My exact thoughts! ❤️❤️
Sameee ♥️♥️♥️
Right? I feel like Taylor & Tom are my kids. I want to hug them both!
My thoughts exactly!!!!
Exactly my thoughts! My brain rebels so much seeing Tay cry and my heart pours over with hope and well wishes for them.
One of the strongest messages of this series for me was when you realize that you're a strong and unstoppable woman. This journey is only the beginning of an incredible ride. I wish you good luck and strength for both of you.
That was so nice Mane
She’s relentless.
She’s relentless.
Thank you for sharing your journey! I can’t wait for the next part. Rosie melted my heart with those puppy kisses 😭❤️❤️
Lol donde lo vine a encontrar Dr haha
My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for 2 years. We can’t afford fertility treatments. I understand so deeply the pain, heartbreak, and sadness that comes with the idea of maybe never getting to be a mom. It’s almost unbearable. I really appreciate that you are sharing this journey. I know I’m not alone..but sometimes it feels that way. Thank you!!!!
You’re not alone! I’ve been there too and I felt so alone at the time. The comments on this series gave me some comfort too. Sending lots of love and hope!💕
A childless life is also amazing, you get to live for yourself only and make yourself happy. I love not being a mom, so much freedom, to travel, to do what I want, when I want it.
My heart is with you! Tho I have to ask and make maybe a suggestion...Have you thought about going abroad for IVF? Eastern Europe has a lot of IVF clinics that are affordable and freezing your eggs there or doing IFV there is a great option even people from different parts of the world and other parts of Europe do medical tourism in other countries that they can afford. I don't know where you are from but my friend has a family member raised in the U.S and her boyfriend is American and they came back to here(Bulgaria) to do IVF. They came for 1 month and a half and froze like 6 embryos did some tourism around the Black Sea and went back to the U.S to save money to try many IVF many times if the 1st does not work out for them. Based on what they said the cost of freezing eggs here is 600$ USD for more than 10 eggs which they said was really great(that's a lot of eggs you can do less), for freezing embryos, its 250$ (for 3), and what they liked most is the cost of storing the embryos its 180$ a year and 800$ for 5 years and in the U.S the cost ranges from 400-1000$ just 1 year. They said they would have tried this year but instead, they decided to freeze more embryos and do the IVF later hopefully next year or the year after when COVID-19 is over. Stay strong! Even without IVF its not impossible my childhood friend was the result of many miscarriages and suddenly boom he came to his mother out of nowhere years after they had already quit because they had literally tried soo much. I'm sure whatever happens it will be the best for you! Concentrate on your happiness and health which is what matters most
Also eat a lot of organic spinach, google Jlo spinach pregnancy !
@@irinairy9 that’s not what people trying to get pregnant want to hear. you made a choice to live that life. i want to be a mom to a biological child, and 90% of humanity gets that opportunity. it’s absolutely a travesty to be in the 10% that can’t.
I feel so seen by this. I had no problem getting pregnant, but I had a lot of trouble staying pregnant. I felt incredibly guilty and alone. Especially when the two children I could have were both premature because my body kept failing us.
I wouldn't wish this on anyone. I too was incredibly blessed with a supportive husband who supported me.
Right there with you and sending love ♥️ It’s so easy to feel like we are alone in all of this (even when we have supportive partners), but we never truly are. So many of us travel a very difficult path to parenthood and I’m grateful for opportunities like this that we have to see and support each other. You are so strong and your family is blessed to have you 🌈🌈🌈💗
Sending you love, lots of love! As someone who was born prematurely (a micro premature baby), I can tell you that your body was not failing you 💖
This is me as well. I had no problem getting pregnant but had both my children at 27 weeks barely felt like I experienced pregnancy and couldn't breast feed.
Right there with you, but there is hope. I am the mother of three wonderful daughters, one biological and two adopted daughters. The journey to motherhood can be challenging, but it can happen. Hang in there. It will happen.
I have become so much more invested in this series than I ever thought I would. I hope everything goes as you hope it to.
❤️
Thank you for making this series. I have/had women around me over the last few years go through IVF, and from what they told me, it is exactly as you described-pretty much a full-time job with insane ups and downs, both physically and mentally.
I’m so proud of you for being so incredibly brave and sharing such vulnerable moments in your life. Not only will this series likely be a huge comfort to women who are also struggling with infertility themselves, but I personally think it’s SO important for people in general to really know the reality of IVF how insane of a journey it can be. Major respect to any woman who goes through this 💪 You’re incredibly strong, and I only wish for the best for you ♥️
I literally bursted into tears, when I saw your excitement when seeing the first Pregnant result, and then, after the blood test, everything was so dark. Like Tom said, it’s really a roller coaster feeling. I can’t imagine how you could be so strong, and still kept smiling. Both you and Tom, you are amazing.
I loved it when Tom said "Ok. Let's try again!" That's it, we must persevere! Thank you Taylor for sharing your journey, I wish you and your husband the best outcome possible.
I never thought I’d be so invested in a strangers life. You guys will make such wonderful parents.
This is one of the most rawest videos on TH-cam I’ve ever seen. You’re so incredibly brave Taylor for putting yourself and your whole journey out here for the whole world to see. Lots of people who can relate will be able to feel like they’re not alone in this and that is such a blessing to so many of us. I hope you’ll get your baby soon, both you and Tom. Always wanna see you guys happy.
Thank you so much for sharing all of this. I've been having similar struggles over the last year and at this point frankly I'm starting to even feel awful and bitter towards my friends and family who are able to conceive. I know how painful all of this is and you're amazing for being able to share all of it, and while I'm totally sobbing right now I'm also really glad to for once hear that other people are going through the same thing. So thank you.
As a 24 y/o who is no where near ready for kids, I never thought I’d be so invested in this series. I sat refreshing the page for 10 minutes before the video was uploaded lol. I’m wishing you all the best Taylor ❤️
I gave birth for my 1st son when I was your age ❤️
Sending you so much love. This has been one of the most real, and honest series on TH-cam. So proud of you for sharing and showing other women they aren’t alone. ❤️
Sending you all the love Taylor, you've been an inspiration since you started your channel through all your life stages and I feel so lucky that you decided to share all of it with us.
I know this was so hard to film & put out there, but thank you so much for sharing your journey! ❤️ You and Tom have such a beautiful relationship! ☺️

I'm at the train right now travelling to my family for my brothers wedding tomorrow and I'm crying so badly 🙈 The woman behind me gave me some tissues and asked me what was going on, so I told her about this emotional rollercoaster and now we're both crying 😅😭
So me and the woman wish u all the luck and love ❤
That's so wholesome. 😭
Watching the recap from the last episode and the intro just made me feel so grateful that you're sharing this because of other women who are probably going through similar things but feel alone in their struggles. I can't even imagine how comforting it would feel to see this and know that they're not alone. This is such a vulnerable topic and yet you shared everything so honestly. Respect!
I see you everywhere!
The videos on your pregnancy journey has touched my heart deeply. I truly feel your pain and no women has to struggle with infertility. My fiancé and I have been also trying for a year & testing after testing on a stick was painful to see a negative. It’s hard to discuss to other people on how your feeling and seeing other women have babies like no problem. I am with you, we got this girl! You’re not alone 😃
Taylor, you're one of the most genuine, lovable, strong and amazing people out there and I am so very thankful for you for sharing such vulnerable moments of your life. Watching this series gave me immense strength and warmed my heart.
Whatever may come next in your life - I am sure you will master anything in your very own way, in your very own pace. You got this! I wish you and your loved ones best luck 🍀
Much love from Germany 💕
My heart goes to you and your little family. All the best!
Ôi thím Phưng 😘😘
Been waiting all day for this. These videos have made me cry, laugh and excited. I haven't seen the video yet but I hope you and Tom realise your dream of having a child. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Tom is the best. When I first subscribed to Taylor I thought his name was actually elbow lol
@@selfcarevlogsandrea I loved the songs he would sing to Taylor when she was doing shots and when she was finally ovulating. It made me smile and saw that he was being supportive and do whatever he could do. It made me so mad when I saw Taylor talking on her Instagram about some of the comments saying that Tom was pushing her and abusive. He is the best.
I truly from the bottom of my heart pray everyone trying gets their positive test, we really don’t know what challenges others face and this was eye opening to see not everyone finds this journey an easy one. Good luck to anyone trying to conceive 💛
You're a very strong person, and huge respect to Tom for being a great husband, very inspiring!
I've had two miscarriages, BOTH of them were extremely devastating to me. The first, I was only a couple of weeks along, so it wasn't physically terrible, the second, I was 12 weeks along....and I still tear up if I think about it. I had the second miscarriage alone in my bathroom....with my doctor on the phone explaining that my body was just expelling an imperfect fetus. When I asked her what to do with what came out of me, she told me to just flush it. That felt so incredibly wrong. Yes, it was very very tiny, and barely recognizable as a fetus, but it felt wrong to me to just casually flush it like a goldfish....so I put it in an antique trinket box with flowers, and buried the box in my garden with my husband because even though that fetus wasn't viable, i still had so much love for that baby. Needless to say, I got a new doctor after that, one who wasn't so cold, and I now am a mom of 3. I think this subject needs to be talked about openly more as it almost seems taboo to talk about how the gut wrenching pain the mother goes through during these devastating Rollercoaster rides. Its like society expects us to just slap a smile on our face, and pretend that it wasn't as bad as it really was....so, thank you for sharing this journey. I know it will help a lot of those out there who are going through the same pain, and may even encourage them to share their own journey as well. God bless you both, and I pray you guys end up having the family you dream of. Much love to you, from Western North Carolina ❤
That trinket box sounds mighty special, I'm sure that little soul felt all your love. Biggest hugs to you 💜
@@illicitshadow thank you so much for your kind words!
This made me cry so hard. You're so strong & amazing! 💝
I don’t know you but this touched my heart. So sorry for your losses. Sending love💕
That sounds like a beautiful burial for your baby. I’m so sorry that you had such a cold doctor. Sending love. 💙
Having also gone through IVF and a miscarriage, I have so much empathy for you, Taylor. You are in my thoughts and prayers for the baby that you and Tom so desperately want. You will be wonderful parents. After our struggle, my husband and I were so blessed to conceive our now 15 year old daughter. Never give up hope. You have so many people supporting you from around the world. Much love to you ❤️.
This series made me so emotional!! I can't imagine going through all of this. Women like you are so strong and I look up to people like you
Thank you so much for sharing this, Taylor and Tom. So heartbreaking, but also so heartwarming that you haven't given up despite the hardships. I know your time will come and when it does, they will be so, so loved. All the best 🙏💕
Hardships can make or break a couple, and you and Tom have been a team to be reckoned with throughout this journey. I wish you both all the good fortune and happiness in the world with your journey. When your stars align and it's your time, you'll both be wonderful parents.
I think I've took for granted how much my mother has told me that I was a miracle. She was told that she couldn't get pregnant, but somehow still was able to have me. This video made me realize how beautiful pregnancy can be for mothers, and I really hope you can one day be a mother as well. So proud of you for showing your strength and not being afraid to be vulnerable. 😊❤
My mom was the same way. She was told at 16 she couldn't have children. 21 years later, she finds out she is pregnant (with me) and the doctor told her that if she came in sooner, he'd have recommended an abortion. She said, "Over my damn dead body" and here I am. She was determined to have a child and she had one.
Hey I know of a spell caster that can help you manifest children into your wombs in less than 2weeks,he helped my sis and my aunty he can help you with twins or triplet,he is so powerful..

You're so brave! I can't imagine how hard it must be but you have the courage to not give up and I think that alone makes you an incredible mother already. Sending lots of love and support!♥️
I do feel that we need to talk more about fertility and the decision of having/not having children like this - in a real way! Not through lenses of politicians, various movements, and such. Real people like you give out real stories that are heartbreaking, sensitive, intimate and so much more. I personally decided that I don't want to have children and I am looked down upon for that. And I find that I have no one to talk to about my reasons and they do come from deep trauma. Even though you are going through a very different struggle than I, I felt so connected to your pain and emotional rollercoaster. My heart goes out to you.
I teared up when the test was positive, so hoping for you and Tom to get pregnant 🙏🏻 Isn’t it amazing how animals just know when you need a little extra love 🐶 Stay strong lady 💗
I am going through fertility treatments currently after 7 years of trying for a baby. It's videos like yours that help me remember I am not alone. Thank you for sharing ❤
I wish you so much luck ❤️ stay strong
I can’t even express to you my admiration and gratitude to you towards this series. It takes so much bravery to broadcast publicly what you’ve been through. But for people like me also facing infertility it means the world. I believe in the best for you ❤️ stay strong
I’m a true believer in “things happen for a reason”. Stay positive, with or without kids, life can be as beautiful. Wish you all my best.
You are so brave, Taylor. I'm hoping that you and Tom will be blessed with a healthy baby soon. You guys will be the best parents!! Sending lots of love ❤️
Am i the only one who cried watching this and picturing my procedure soon? Congrats guys
I’ve been watching you since your early days modeling in Japan. And it’s so great being able to watch and grow with you! Sending you all the love and best luck. 💕
I have so much respect for Taylor for sharing this journey, I wish the best for you and Tom !!!! You guys deserve everything and moreeee 💕✨
Thank you ❤️❤️
These episodes are so authentic and give an amazing insight into the struggles and the processes. Best thing I have ever watched on TH-cam! This will really help so many people. Thank yous
You are so inspiring and strong Taylor, you give me hope. I don't even know i'm hopeful of what but you made me realize whatever is happening we can get through it. ❤ praying and wishing you the best
This series has really shown what an incredible person Tom is. You two bring out the best in each other and it’s been genuinely touching to see such an intimate part of your life and your journey to completing your family ❤️
I donated my eggs to my sister and watching your journey reminded me of my sister's. It really is a roller-coaster of emotions. I pray that you and Tom will have success and be blessed with a healthy baby soon.
That is so kind of you!
Sending you and your loved ones so much love! So proud of you for having endured through the endless pain and heartache during this journey and watching you grow as you progressed. Wishing you all the best for your future attempts for a family ❤️
Evey episode in this series just makes me cry. This was so raw and real. Thank you for sharing taylor!
Been going through with the same journey for 4 years and I know how painful it is. After so many tries, doing it all over again. It hurt so much realizing that your body is failing you in doing what it is suppose to do. But I also learned a lot in this journey. And I agree a hundred percent when you said that it made you feel unstoppable. As a woman, I also felt like I can do anything. I can endure anything and this infertility doesn't make me less of a woman. I am just glad that somebody is speaking about this in public and using this platform to raise awareness about our struggles. To promote compassion because you never know what a person is going through behind their positive aura. I hope you the best and let us never lose hope. Sending much love from the Philippines❤️
so many infertility videos end with a pregnancy announcement, it's so rare to view one that ends with a different happy ending -- we're healthy, we're strong, and we're ready to try again
so happy for and proud of you and Tom for finding the silver lining and recognizing that the two of you are enough and a complete family 💙
good luck in this next chapter... you got this 💪
Your videos are so heartwarming and educational! I noticed how close and supportive you and Tom are in this series, its amazing. Thank you for sharing something so personal and intimate! Your fans might not be able to help much but we are here, we are listening and wishing you all the best!
Being devastated, then feeling an ounce of hope and trying again is so relatable.
Thank you for sharing this story with us Taylor. I recently had a miscarriage too, at 9 week after trying for a baby for over 6 months. I felt devastated. I didn’t really speak about it to anyone beside my close family, but now I feel less alone after watching your struggles. We are not alone, and apparently it’s not that uncommon. Let’s try again ❤️
Oh Taylor I’m crying my eyes out 😭 this was exactly what I needed. People who have miscarried or struggle with pregnancy feel so alone and ostracized so thank you for making this and sharing so much! You’re so brave and we’re all with you through this! Praying for you and Tom and thinking positive ❤️
Absolutely. I can’t have children and it’s not something people ‘expect’ so I feel like I’m fighting assumptions as well as my own grief.
Taylor you are so strong! Thank you so much for sharing this and educating us, IVF is one thing that has caught my attention since school and I've looked so much into it, but seeing it from the perspective of someone who's going through it is a whole different things. You are so brave, putting yourself out there is not easy much less when it's about something so personal and that can make you feel so vulnerable, I'm so glad that you realized that you're not an inadequate woman, that particular sentence gave me chills. Sending you the best energy, I've been watching you for years now and hopefully in the future I can say I saw you both achieve your dreams. xo
Amazing perspective at the end, it’s so cliché, but difficult experiences really do make us stronger. When this story has an ending, no matter what that looks like, you’ll have new strength and resilience to bring to the next chapter of your life (I’m hoping that next chapter is motherhood of course, sending you and Tom good vibes from across the seas)
The fact that you found a silver lining in something that is so painful, is so inspirational! Thank you for sharing this journey. Praying for you and your family..always. 🤍🤍🤍🤍
I’ve been waiting anxiously for the next instalment in this series! The tension is real! Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us! It’s hard to understand the emotional roller-coaster for those people who are not struggling with fertility!
My advice is that you start using more “we didn’t get pregnant” “we stopped the treatment”, WE…. This pregnancy is and ovule and an spermatozoid meeting, and I feel you put all the failures and the whole journey on you; you’re wonderful lady and it’s not your responsibility to get pregnant; it’s a life event of two humans 😊 like a miracle
Taylor, you’re the most inspiring person! ❤️ your determination and your courage through this process is remarkable. I’m sending you lots of love and good energy from France 🇫🇷💕
Taylor, your journey is helping everyone in the same situation including me. Sending you both of you all the light and respect. Thank you for sharing this.
It's hard to see the positive aspects of a difficult situation, but I'm so proud and inspired by you seeing the good things in your situation and learning from it 💕
I am on an emotional roller coaster cheering and crying and I’m just watching! I can’t even imagine what it was like in real life. You have an amazing attitude!
constantly has me almost crying this whole series, god! I feel with you so much!!
I cried so much watching this, as it reminded me of my own infertility journey. Sending you and Tom so much love, light, and baby dust! Continue to have hope and trust that there is divine timing for everything. I still cannot believe how incredibly lucky I am when I peek over at my 4-month old in her bassinet
I can only imagine how draining this whole process must be 🥺 but I wish you the best and it makes me very happy to see you choose yourself and know when to take a break helps me want to choose me too
My heart goes out for you both! I’m currently ttc and struggling. Going through fertility investigation at the moment. Just wanted to say I’m so happy you did this video and it really did help me so please know that I’m grateful! Fingers crossed it happens for for you,and me!
Taylor, wishing you so much luck! As a baby of IVF, it took a few rounds for my family but me (and my twin brother) are both healthy and here and hoping that you are blessed with your own child very soon.
This series has made me cry so much. I can only imagine how hard this journey has been for you. I wish only the best for you.
This series is so rough and true and full of emotion. It really is such a strong thing to put that out for everyone. But I know for sure - you will help so much more women and couples who are going through this. Thank you for that 💖
You’re one of the strongest, bravest women I know and it makes me so happy that this whole rollercoaster didn’t crush you and Tom but made you stronger 🥺 I am so immensely proud of you for also putting out this whole series where you’re vulnerable and also show us how bad it can be when dreams are temporarily getting crushed. Also I feel so grateful to watch you go on this whole journey and cheer you on when you’re happy and cry into my coffee when you’re crying 💜 you’re unstoppable and it makes me so so so so proud , wishing you all the best and crossing my fingers, you two got this ❤️❣️
Thank you for sharing. This is definitely the most difficult chapter in life. I truly learned a lot from it!! Praying and it will happen for sure when it’s time!
Oh my heart broke when I heard your voice and then Tom’s over the phone when you found out. Hugs praying for round two. You are so brave for telling your story but you are also helping others stay strong through their own journey.
I've been watching you since I was in 9th grade and now I'm a freshman in college! Thanks for sharing your journey, Taylor and for being an inspiration to many
You're truly an inspiration. For sharing this with the world...for sharing the ups and the downs and the super intimate moments...I wish you both so much happiness you deserve it so freaking much.
So so proud of you, I can’t stop crying and can’t imagine how hard it must’ve been for both of you. Please don’t lose hope, you guys are so close!! Sending lots of love and prayers your way💖
I've learned my lesson by now: settling down with a box of tissues for this one.
Thank you so much again Taylor for sharing this journey; so many of your viewers can relate (myself included) and really appreciate you using your voice on this topic ❤️
EDIT: Nope, 2:15, it's started already 😭😭😭😭 Tayyyyy ❤️
It is valuable to learn an important lesson from this video is control, we don’t know what or when will it happen, good or bad, but what truly matter is to have patience with a positive mood.
You are an inspiration for everyone, Miss Taylor.💖💖
