Thank you SO much for this. Going into month 6 and I have been avoiding TTC content because it’s the two ends of the spectrum, NOTHING in between. This is so refreshing! Also my periods are the same as yours so interested to go binge your channel now
Honestly, I don't see why any woman would want to get pregnant. Pregnancy puts a lot of strain on a woman's body, and it is very dangerous, and it has a lot of risks, and a pregnancy lasts 9 months. Also, childbirth is very painful. And also, raising children is very hard. Personally, I think being childfree would be a lot better than having children.
It’s a lonely journey as not many people talk about this. Me and my husband had unexplained infertility as all our tests were normal. We were blessed with boy/girl twins following one round of IVF and lots of tears and prayers. Wishing you all the luck. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your story.
I have question. Why do women want to get pregnant? Pregnancy puts a lot of strain on a woman's body, and it is very dangerous, and it has a lot of risks, and a pregnancy lasts 9 months. Also, childbirth is very painful. And also, raising children is very hard. Personally, I think being childfree would be a lot better than having children. It's been proven that single childfree women are happier. Studies prove single, childless, women are the HAPPIEST demographic. Women are the happiest when single and focused on themselves.
Glad you know what makes you happy, if being single and having no children is for you thats great!! but its not for everyone, its just an instinct for some people to want to procreate 😁 @@cks7548
Ttc for 13 years, my daughter is 3 now. 💗 Sounds crazy, but it turned out to be the perfect time for us. Many years of sadness though, I empathize with you and there's really nothing anyone can say that feels right. Sending lots and lots of positive baby conception energy✨✨✨
Be kind to yourselves ❤️ I've had no experience with birth control or trying to get pregnant as it not in the cards for me. But be kind to yourselves. Good things take time. It could just as easily be your partner. There is no blame. If conceiving doesn't work out, there are so many babies and children in the world who would love to have you guys as loving parents. You guys will make awesome parents and I'm so excited for you guys however it happens. Give yourself plenty of time.
Thank you for sharing yourself in this vulnerable moment, courageous women like you make the internet a better place 💫 Good luck on your journey, wishing you the best of luck !
Clearblue advanced digital ovulation tests helped me pinpoint ovulation and I also had a 28 day average cycle and I conceived both of my girls on day 18 of my cycle I know everyone’s different but it wouldn’t hurt to try ! Sending you baby dust !
I’ve heard it can take between 9 months to a year after getting off hormonal birth control to fully regulate and be able to conceive. I’m no where near thinking about trying or wanting a baby, but your story is so important to hear so thank you for being vulnerable and sharing this with the world. It makes me wonder when I am eventually ready how my body will react since I’ve also been on birth control for almost ten years. Sending love!
I am 100% supporting you in your journey. Do not give up. For some women it takes longer and that is okay. It took me over a year to get pregnant with my daughter. But it happened. It got to the point where I thought one of us were just completely infertile but nope. It’s just patience.
Hugs to you. I'd love to see the workout modifications you're making - I've seen lots of people talk about diet but never exercise when trying to conceive so I'm interested. Thank you for sharing this!
Good luck with everything and please share yours and Matt's journey into trying to become parents, can you also share if Matt has changed anything as well as yourself cause I think that would be interesting knowledge to hear about both sides 🥰
Good luck 👍🏻🍀 thank you for sharing this amazing information with others, please talk about your new diet and nutrition and exercises too! I’m so excited to hear about it and will appreciate it 🙏🏻🌺 Happy Easter and God bless you.
very brave for sharing! this can be the most difficult time... i have been there (ttc after years of endometriosis) i tried for 9 months with my first baby and the second one i got pregnant within two months. sending love
You will be in my prayers. As mentioned in the other comments, there is no quick fix and it is a journey. You probably already know this, but sometimes having the hubby switch from typical underwear to loose boxers can help. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
My first thought was that your body just needs to regulate itself after birth control and that’s still a thought. However you touched on that. My next thought is don’t obsess over it. I know that is nearly impossible. I hope you have success soon and I’m glad your husband is supportive because that’s important. HAPPY TRYING! 😝
My parents tried for 13 years to get pregnant with me, their first baby, back in the 60’s before there was all this fancy stuff. They gave up, went on vacation to Colorado and came back pregnant with me. 1 year, 5 months and 10 days later, my brother was born. I think they just needed to relax and let the universe do it’s thing.
6 months post copper IUD. I've gotten a surge each month, baby danced on correct days. Periods have been late 2 months with negative tests and every month had been light spotting for 2-3 days
Thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing your journey. Bless your heart. 😇 it will happen for you ❤ you’re going to be an amazing mother 🧚🏼♀️ ⭐️ 🌙
I don’t want to have children so haven’t had to ever think about all the things you raised but it was so interesting hearing about the process you’ve gone through. Thanks for being so generous in sharing your story, I’m sure it’ll help more women to feel less alone.
You will get pregnant Alyssa, I pray 🙏 that over you. Your body's still regulating it'll get there sweets continue having faith. Thanks for sharing this very personal journey with us.
I feel you girl i was on the pill since i was 13 to counter my hormonal imbalances it Was used at that time as part of my hormonal therapy now at the age of 26 i stopped taking the pill when i was around 24 years old and i took me a bit over a year to get my period Back you dont know you miss it until you loose it and now we are trying to get pregnant as well but yeah my body is taking a while as well so yeah we are fighting girl so you should fight too :)! It is worth it i believe
omg! My period is also 2-3 days! My cycle is only 25 days long but my gynecologist says it’s normal... I did bloodwork and a transvaginal ultrasound and my husband did semen analysis and everything is normal... I really think I’m not pregnant because the beginning of my cycle is so short. I ovulate on day 10-12. :( I don’t know how to make it longer! It’s really frustrating. Thank you for sharing! It is really comforting to know someone else has a similar situation as mine!
My husband and I are trying to get pregnant too. We are around a year to trying. I can understand how are you feeling. It's stressful, painful, lonely, frustration. We are very different person that We normally are. I am very desperate and anyone understand that you are feeling.. I send you a lot hugs, and kisses. We can do it.
i had my son in september 2019. we were married in december of 2017. Our first pregnancy was Ectopic. We got pregnant with our son about 3 months after our Ectopic. I had Nexplanon put in about a month after I had my son, because I didn't want kids close together. I had it taken out in Sept last year. My OB/GYN said it would be about 6 months before I would get pregnant. The six month mark was in March. I don't want to be too much older. I'll be 39 in September. After I had my son, we were living a nightmare. We were told he was withdrawing from my medication. Cymbalta. My son didn't have any symptoms of withdrawal. His pediatrician said he wasn't sure he was withdrawing, and if he was the medication would be out of his system in about a week. The 'nurse' said he would be suffering with withdrawal for 3 months. I was so hurt. I still struggle with guilt to this day. Even though, I was told I HAD to take my medication. Long story short, my son is 3 1/2 and is super healthy! He has asked us at times for a brother or sister. I just started my period, so I'm devistated. I've had a lot of people tell me that I shouldn't have anymore kids, because of the 'withdrawal' that my son went through, and I had a very risky pregnancy. I was sick the whole 9 months as well. I went into preterm labor 3 times as well. People can be so cruel
This video!! Like can’t thank you enough!! I know so many women who have had a long journey conceiving and when asked then just reply - oh within a few months and I’m like you we are in the same boat and can help out someone who is on the edge! Quick question - what are the days that you try? Like 10,12,14? And when in your cycle do you do the ovulation test?
I have been trying for 6 months now as well. I would love to know what supplements you took and tests you and husband did. It is hard because we don't hear much about this begginin where most doctors just say don't worry give it time and you just think you should be doing something different.
I didn’t get my period for 9 months when I went off bc.. I had to go on something for it to come back. I’m finally regular now.. it took 5 years! However.. I was diagnosed with endometriosis and PCOS recently. I wish you all the luck 🍀
You mentioned the light periods after getting off the pill, im curious if it improved over time? I have the same issue where im much lighter than i used to be and im curious if it corrects itself on its own ot if u had to take some medication?
Hi, so as someone who went thru fertility and was unsuccessful, I’d like to give you advice. Please see a fertility dr sooner rather then later. Do not let people to tell you just relax and it will happen. The dr can do a basic work up and can check many things that can be causing problems such as, thyroid, husbands sperm count and motility, your egg count and hormone levels, if your actually ovulating and are your Fallopian tubes open and so on the basic work up is not very invasive and can save you a lot of time and heartache and stress. Many things they uncover are easy fixes. Plus if you want to have more then one child don’t waste time. We ended up having a family via adoption.
Thank you. I just found this video. I am starting the journey more focus now and thank God you were here at where I am now😅. And like you I was for many years on birth control but already have 6 months getting my period more regular and normal. Amma watch all your videos now. 😊
Take a blood test for ferritin (should be no less than your weight), homocysteine (should be below normal), and check for blood clotting. Add more saturated fats to your diet.
It must be just me, but the sound cut out at 5:54-6:33 every time I tried to watch this. Anyway, Alyssa, sharing your journey is a great idea, and lots of us will be here to support you!
Youth has to be the most important factor. When I was in college I got 3 of my girlfriends pregnant. If you haven’t had your period because of various birth control methods, getting off for 6 months or more is ideal for the health of the baby
Me and my husband are trying to get pregnant, so we try to have sex multiple times a week. Problem is, we don’t like sex. Idk we both never have, we normally do it once a couple months and we are both really happy with that. Now it’s extremely stressy and exhausting and not fun at all to do it so often. Anyone got advice?
Don't obsess whatever you do. Have sex every other day. You don't need supplements other than a good prenatal vitamin that has folic acid in it. Your diet and lifestyle AND that of your husband is key. No alcohol. No marijuana. No smoking of any kind. No soda. Nothing with artificial sweeteners. Plant based if you can. Do yoga. Stay thin. And most of all DO NOT seek medical advice from a reproductive professional unless you have been trying upwards of 10 years. I am not kidding here. By nature you were made to have a baby. I have been a labor and delivery nurse for 40 years. I cannot tell you how many horror stories I have heard and witnessed surrounding "infertility" treatment . IVF pregnancies are not easy and without complications. Yes some people really need science to get conceive, most do not. All the best to you both.
It took me 3 months to regulate after being on birth control for over 10 years. I started tracking my periods with the my period app and even though mine have always been irregular it helped us get pregnant after 5 months of trying. I wish you all the luck on this journey💞💞
I watched an interesting article once about chemicals being used to clean households with. Maybe look and see what you're using and change to chemical free if you are using chemical cleaners. I doubt you are, but it's just a thought 😊
Good luck, hopefully it will happen very soon! I thought of one thing- If you got the j*b, look into detoxing from it as it is causing a lot of fertility and cycle issues :(...and most doctors don't want to talk about it!
Please research taking soy isoflovanoids in the first 5-7 days of your period, which increases your ovulation ALOT. Also as weird as it sounds, viagra diluted and administred as a pressie has shown to improve blood flow in the uterus and improve lining thickness. There are some doctors in Europe that also know about this and prescribe it to women as an off label treatment for this purpose. My period was also very scarce, maybe 12h first day and then spotting next day and gone...we tried for 4 months and nothing, then I did both isoflovanoids and viagra (diluted in lube - the special for conceiving, as the regular kind is contraindicated for TTC), and at that next month it happened. Not sure if it was coincidence, maybe it was, but I think it helped :) . Fingers crossed it will happen for you soon...
Try taking organic linen oil. I know of someone having a problem conceiving. After taking this oil for a short period of time she got pregnant. Good luck ❤
Just watched your video, thanks so much for posting this and sharing your story! I also just posted a video about my ttc journey, we are 4 months in now. Hope you get your positive soon ❤️
If you REALLY want to get pregnant, have sex everyday - every 12 hours. Do not miss! No excuses. There is a very small window of time during the month that you can get pregnant. If you miss that little window pregnancy won’t happen. You are too obsessed. Relax and quit obsessing and worrying. Have fun and enjoy being intimate with your partner. That’s when the magic happens. Stop taking your temperature, stop using those damn strips. Just have sex every day. Your stress level can have everything to do with your inability to get pregnant. You don’t need to spend a penny to get pregnant.
This does not apply to everyone . Some people have medical reasons that all the relaxing in the world will not help them conceive. Some people have to spend thousands to have a baby .
@@surlespasdondine It sounds like her body doesn’t know if it’s coming or going due to her high stress levels. I think it’s best if she just sticks to having sex on the daily. It will happen for her eventually. She needs to wear that man out!
@@orysyaf8337 This is true, however, the tried and true method is best. If you’ve had intercourse everyday for a year and it still hasn’t happened, then look into other reasons. Too many people believe that “trying” to get pregnant means you don’t use birth control and only have sex when you feel like it. There is such a small window of time ever month, when you miss it, it’s gone...until next month. Three of my friends became pregnant after taking me up on my suggestion.
babe time is precious if you can afford it go IVF route plus you get to pick the gender of the baby if ur lucky enuf to get more than one successful embryo
Sometimes women can become very very anxious about getting pregnant and that anxiousness will prevent them from becoming pregnant; my suggestion would be to stop with all the monitoring, testing and tracking, relax mentally and physically, have a Lotta sex with your husband and fun and before you know it you’ll be pregnant, Good luck
Sorry to ask but you didn't have your period 12 years :O , because of the pills or what? I always wonder why doctors prescript these pills at all. They mess with our natural hormones so bad.. Thanks for sharing and educate each other as a humans. :)
Honestly, I don't see why any woman would want to get pregnant. Pregnancy puts a lot of strain on a woman's body, and it is very dangerous, and it has a lot of risks, and a pregnancy lasts 9 months. Also, childbirth is very painful. And also, raising children is very hard. Personally, I think being childfree would be a lot better than having children.
When girls are on birth control and don’t have a period (which is normal and natural) for over a decade and then wonder why they become infertile ….🤦🏼♀️
This really isn't a very kind thing to say to someone who is trying to get pregnant. I'm sure you weren't trying to be hurtful, but I hope that you wouldn't approach a friend who was struggling to get pregnant and tell her that she's likely infertile followed by the face slap emoji.
As a gay person, I understand your disappointment. But understand the challenges that LGBTQIA+ people go through when trying to have children. It supper double sucks! And usually costs a fortune. LGBTQIA+ make a massive effort and spend a lot of money and time to have children. Whereas, cis-hets in some/many cases, stumble into pregnancy, without much thought. So, please rethink bemoaning that you're not pregnant at this time. You can try again, without cost, without stigma. If it needs IVF, then welcome to how most LGBTQIA+ people get to have children. Or, they adopt. You could do that!
How this came to be about any other group of people outside of her and her husband is beyond me. But to say she can just try again only shows your tone deafness to the situation. And to say she can try IVF or adoption like it’s free for everyone, but usually costs a fortune for other groups, is comical. And just so you know and understand because you’re a male, [IMO] based off your name and calling yourself gay, there is a stigma against women who don’t have children, particularly ones that are married and successful. Whether they want children or not, they are typically viewed as selfish or too occupation obsessed.
I'm married and straight and was born without a uterus... How is it that you feel the LGBTQIA have it worse? Let's enjoy her journey and not personalise it and if I wanted you'd ask your partners sister to have your baby....
@@UwUImTheo It takes years and is very hatd. Deciding to adopt is a very difficult decision that noone should meddle with. it's admirable to adopt but many people are on waiting lists for 10 years or more and still no child to adopt in the end. People are allowed to want biological kids without being judged.
I’m reaching out to everyone here to let you know that I just had another baby after TRYING TO CONCEIVE for 6 years and also to share my pregnancy jorney story! I am so happy to announce that at 40 years of age, I gave birth to a healthy and beautiful twins baby girls on Oct0ber 29, 2022, My husband and I are from San Anthonio TX. In January of 2014, our third child, a beautiful baby girl, was born perfect and healthy. We couldn’t have been happier; our family of five felt perfect and complete. A few months down the road, as we were considering birth control options, the doctor informed us about Essure. This non-surgical, non-hormone, cost effective option seemed perfect. We went ahead with it, never imagining that there would ever be any reason to make us reconsider. Why would we when our little family was just right, and we were so happy?A little over a year later on October 9, 2015, our perfect baby girl left us to walk with Jesus. With very little warning or symptoms, her appendix burst and her tiny body succumbed to sepsis very quickly. The doctors and staff worked so hard to help her, but our little angel flew to heaven. I can tell you there is nothing worse than losing a child. It hurts so badly that it truly feels as though your heart is breaking. After several months, our boys began to question us about having another baby. The thought of a new precious miracle in our lives grew in our hearts quickly, and we began to look at what our options were. When I had gotten the Essure, the doctor had been very specific that it could not be reversed. With our first phone calls, we were told our only option was in vitro fertilization (IVF). As we researched that, it just didn’t seem like a great option for us. However, I stumbled on a story of a woman who Dr Agbola helped to conceive a twins baby under the same condition as mine. so i decided to put a try and talk toed him because this has been my greatest problem in life, words will not be enough to explain what this man did for me,i know there is someone in the same condition and you feel there is no way, i’m also giving this hint to couples who are struggling with INFERTILITY or had their TUBES TIED. i urge you to talk to him. This man is the best solution to every single mother around the globe. distance is not a barrier, he will surely make your dreams come through. talk to him today via Via: (fm3434@protonmail.com)
Good luck.
I tried for 9 years and eventually had a boy and a girl 3 years later
They are now 26 and nearly 23.
Sending love to you xx

Blessings on your journey. It took me 4 years and the week before my first fertility appointment, I found out I was pregnant.
Hi Alyssa, the sound cuts out from 5:54 to 6:30 - it’s completely silent during this time. Thought you would want to know.
Share EVERYTHING! I’m here for it! Only 3 months into TTC but yeah, it’s not as easy to make a baby as I hoped. Good luck to you too!
Sending you so so much love!! Will def be sharing more of this journey!
Good luck to you and your husband. It took us 11 months, but the little one was worth the wait 🥰

Hey dear. Thanks for the information. I would love to see your diet plan and exercise regime that you follow in order to get pregnant.

You mentioned the light periods after getting off the pill, im curious if it improved over time? I have the same issue where im much lighter than i used to be and im curious if it corrects itself on its own ot if u had to take some medication?
Hi, so as someone who went thru fertility and was unsuccessful, I’d like to give you advice. Please see a fertility dr sooner rather then later. Do not let people to tell you just relax and it will happen. The dr can do a basic work up and can check many things that can be causing problems such as, thyroid, husbands sperm count and motility, your egg count and hormone levels, if your actually ovulating and are your Fallopian tubes open and so on the basic work up is not very invasive and can save you a lot of time and heartache and stress. Many things they uncover are easy fixes.
Plus if you want to have more then one child don’t waste time.
We ended up having a family via adoption.
Thank you. I just found this video. I am starting the journey more focus now and thank God you were here at where I am now😅. And like you I was for many years on birth control but already have 6 months getting my period more regular and normal. Amma watch all your videos now. 😊
Please keep it coming. Share alllll. diet. Supplements. Behind the scenes testing. Alllll of them. ❤

Take a blood test for ferritin (should be no less than your weight), homocysteine (should be below normal), and check for blood clotting. Add more saturated fats to your diet.
It must be just me, but the sound cut out at 5:54-6:33 every time I tried to watch this. Anyway, Alyssa, sharing your journey is a great idea, and lots of us will be here to support you!
Youth has to be the most important factor. When I was in college I got 3 of my girlfriends pregnant. If you haven’t had your period because of various birth control methods, getting off for 6 months or more is ideal for the health of the baby

Me and my husband are trying to get pregnant, so we try to have sex multiple times a week.
Problem is, we don’t like sex. Idk we both never have, we normally do it once a couple months and we are both really happy with that.
Now it’s extremely stressy and exhausting and not fun at all to do it so often.
Anyone got advice?
Don't obsess whatever you do. Have sex every other day. You don't need supplements other than a good prenatal vitamin that has folic acid in it. Your diet and lifestyle AND that of your husband is key. No alcohol. No marijuana. No smoking of any kind. No soda. Nothing with artificial sweeteners. Plant based if you can. Do yoga. Stay thin. And most of all DO NOT seek medical advice from a reproductive professional unless you have been trying upwards of 10 years. I am not kidding here. By nature you were made to have a baby. I have been a labor and delivery nurse for 40 years. I cannot tell you how many horror stories I have heard and witnessed surrounding "infertility" treatment . IVF pregnancies are not easy and without complications. Yes some people really need science to get conceive, most do not. All the best to you both.
It took me 3 months to regulate after being on birth control for over 10 years. I started tracking my periods with the my period app and even though mine have always been irregular it helped us get pregnant after 5 months of trying.
I wish you all the luck on this journey💞💞
I pray god well bless you with a wonderful gift if a child keep trying say strong 🙏🏽❤️
2 years TTC - 1 miscarriage. Would love to hear all your details! Lots of hope for us both!
I watched an interesting article once about chemicals being used to clean households with. Maybe look and see what you're using and change to chemical free if you are using chemical cleaners. I doubt you are, but it's just a thought 😊
Good luck, hopefully it will happen very soon! I thought of one thing- If you got the j*b, look into detoxing from it as it is causing a lot of fertility and cycle issues :(...and most doctors don't want to talk about it!
Please research taking soy isoflovanoids in the first 5-7 days of your period, which increases your ovulation ALOT. Also as weird as it sounds, viagra diluted and administred as a pressie has shown to improve blood flow in the uterus and improve lining thickness. There are some doctors in Europe that also know about this and prescribe it to women as an off label treatment for this purpose. My period was also very scarce, maybe 12h first day and then spotting next day and gone...we tried for 4 months and nothing, then I did both isoflovanoids and viagra (diluted in lube - the special for conceiving, as the regular kind is contraindicated for TTC), and at that next month it happened. Not sure if it was coincidence, maybe it was, but I think it helped :) . Fingers crossed it will happen for you soon...
Try taking organic linen oil. I know of someone having a problem conceiving. After taking this oil for a short period of time she got pregnant. Good luck ❤
12 years without a period WOW ... I can't relate. 9 months without a period was awesome. 12 years must be like a glorious tampon commercial.
The sound was missing in the middle of the video
Just watched your video, thanks so much for posting this and sharing your story!
I also just posted a video about my ttc journey, we are 4 months in now. Hope you get your positive soon ❤️
Trying since February 2022 hope it happens soon💓
Good luck ✨💘
Thank u I appreciate your video
If you REALLY want to get pregnant, have sex everyday - every 12 hours.
Do not miss! No excuses.
There is a very small window of time during the month that you can get pregnant. If you miss that little window pregnancy won’t happen.
You are too obsessed. Relax and quit obsessing and worrying. Have fun and enjoy being intimate with your partner. That’s when the magic happens. Stop taking your temperature, stop using those damn strips. Just have sex every day. Your stress level can have everything to do with your inability to get pregnant.
You don’t need to spend a penny to get pregnant.
no sxcuses.😆 The best is to have sex often close to ovulation. When you are in touch with yout own body you know when that is.
This does not apply to everyone . Some people have medical reasons that all the relaxing in the world will not help them conceive. Some people have to spend thousands to have a baby .

It sounds like her body doesn’t know if it’s coming or going due to her high stress levels.
I think it’s best if she just sticks to having sex on the daily. It will happen for her eventually.
She needs to wear that man out!
@@orysyaf8337 This is true, however, the tried and true method is best.
If you’ve had intercourse everyday for a year and it still hasn’t happened, then look into other reasons.
Too many people believe that “trying” to get pregnant means you don’t use birth control and only have sex when you feel like it.
There is such a small window of time ever month, when you miss it, it’s gone...until next month.
Three of my friends became pregnant after taking me up on my suggestion.
A friend of mine said every other day and it worked for her and her friends
I conceived in 3 months❤
Ull get pregnant soon ..please pray for me too im trying too nd desperate to have my own one
I’ve seen lots of success in people trying to conceive and fasting. Research ❤️
babe time is precious if you can afford it go IVF route plus you get to pick the gender of the baby if ur lucky enuf to get more than one successful embryo
Good jobs 👍
More on TTC please!
When you overthink it, it doesn't happen it. Just have fun. It will happen.

Sometimes women can become very very anxious about getting pregnant and that anxiousness will prevent them from becoming pregnant; my suggestion would be to stop with all the monitoring, testing and tracking, relax mentally and physically, have a Lotta sex with your husband and fun and before you know it you’ll be pregnant, Good luck
Dr Marc Sklar on YT! He is amazing!! His channel is so so good
Sorry to ask but you didn't have your period 12 years :O , because of the pills or what? I always wonder why doctors prescript these pills at all. They mess with our natural hormones so bad..
Thanks for sharing and educate each other as a humans. :)
Look into drinking black seed oil. Both you and your husband need to drink it. Look into it.
Honestly, I don't see why any woman would want to get pregnant. Pregnancy puts a lot of strain on a woman's body, and it is very dangerous, and it has a lot of risks, and a pregnancy lasts 9 months. Also, childbirth is very painful. And also, raising children is very hard.
Personally, I think being childfree would be a lot better than having children.
When girls are on birth control and don’t have a period (which is normal and natural) for over a decade and then wonder why they become infertile ….🤦🏼♀️
😂😂sounds like a vegan comment😂😂
@@downunderfulla6001 what about this comment is vegan? I’m not vegan lol.
exactly BC is so bad for women.
@@MISSYMINX261 soooo bad! So many women in my life have had horrible side effects and/or infertility and doctors just say it’s unrelated.
This really isn't a very kind thing to say to someone who is trying to get pregnant. I'm sure you weren't trying to be hurtful, but I hope that you wouldn't approach a friend who was struggling to get pregnant and tell her that she's likely infertile followed by the face slap emoji.
As a gay person, I understand your disappointment.
But understand the challenges that LGBTQIA+ people go through when trying to have children.
It supper double sucks! And usually costs a fortune.
LGBTQIA+ make a massive effort and spend a lot of money and time to have children. Whereas, cis-hets in some/many cases, stumble into pregnancy, without much thought.
So, please rethink bemoaning that you're not pregnant at this time.
You can try again, without cost, without stigma. If it needs IVF, then welcome to how most LGBTQIA+ people get to have children.
Or, they adopt. You could do that!
How this came to be about any other group of people outside of her and her husband is beyond me. But to say she can just try again only shows your tone deafness to the situation. And to say she can try IVF or adoption like it’s free for everyone, but usually costs a fortune for other groups, is comical. And just so you know and understand because you’re a male, [IMO] based off your name and calling yourself gay, there is a stigma against women who don’t have children, particularly ones that are married and successful. Whether they want children or not, they are typically viewed as selfish or too occupation obsessed.
I'm married and straight and was born without a uterus... How is it that you feel the LGBTQIA have it worse? Let's enjoy her journey and not personalise it and if I wanted you'd ask your partners sister to have your baby....
@@MrsResi356 how can it be worse when it’s not natural and you know that going in stop comparing please
Why don't you adopt? There's plenty of kids already...
Let's just leave people alone....
Why don't you adopt.
@@surlespasdondine let's just give ALREADY EXISTING children families 🙂
@@julietmarlowe5661 I will
@@UwUImTheo It takes years and is very hatd. Deciding to adopt is a very difficult decision that noone should meddle with. it's admirable to adopt but many people are on waiting lists for 10
years or more and still no child to adopt in the end. People are allowed to want biological kids without being judged.
I’m reaching out to everyone here to let you know that I just had another baby after TRYING TO CONCEIVE for 6 years and also to share my pregnancy jorney story! I am so happy to announce that at 40 years of age, I gave birth to a healthy and beautiful twins baby girls on Oct0ber 29, 2022, My husband and I are from San Anthonio TX. In January of 2014, our third child, a beautiful baby girl, was born perfect and healthy. We couldn’t have been happier; our family of five felt perfect and complete. A few months down the road, as we were considering birth control options, the doctor informed us about Essure. This non-surgical, non-hormone, cost effective option seemed perfect. We went ahead with it, never imagining that there would ever be any reason to make us reconsider. Why would we when our little family was just right, and we were so happy?A little over a year later on October 9, 2015, our perfect baby girl left us to walk with Jesus. With very little warning or symptoms, her appendix burst and her tiny body succumbed to sepsis very quickly. The doctors and staff worked so hard to help her, but our little angel flew to heaven. I can tell you there is nothing worse than losing a child. It hurts so badly that it truly feels as though your heart is breaking. After several months, our boys began to question us about having another baby. The thought of a new precious miracle in our lives grew in our hearts quickly, and we began to look at what our options were. When I had gotten the Essure, the doctor had been very specific that it could not be reversed. With our first phone calls, we were told our only option was in vitro fertilization (IVF). As we researched that, it just didn’t seem like a great option for us. However, I stumbled on a story of a woman who Dr Agbola helped to conceive a twins baby under the same condition as mine. so i decided to put a try and talk toed him because this has been my greatest problem in life, words will not be enough to explain what this man did for me,i know there is someone in the same condition and you feel there is no way, i’m also giving this hint to couples who are struggling with INFERTILITY or had their TUBES TIED. i urge you to talk to him. This man is the best solution to every single mother around the globe. distance is not a barrier, he will surely make your dreams come through. talk to him today via Via: (fm3434@protonmail.com)
