Congratulations!! I just found im 5 weeks pregnant with my first baby!! I have dealt with infertility due to PCOS but I finally have my miracle baby! I’m excited to follow your journey!
My 14mo old is from IVF & now unexpectedly 5wks pregnant with baby number 2 conceived naturally. So happy to follow along with your pregnancy journey again. Congratulations!
I knew it! You can tell when Sarah is feeling good or bad and in the last few videos she was so happy and glowing! I knew something was different! We are so happy for you. We wish you an easy pregnancy and a healthy baby! Thank you for sharing with us.
Congrats on baby #2! So happy for the both of you. I'm currently 24 weeks with baby #1. I've been binge watching all of your videos. It's really nice to have professionals on here sharing their journey and giving their advice
I absolutely love Sarah's vulnerabilty. My gosh! I hate to see the ups and downs obviously, I wouldn't wish that hurt on anyone but for anyone on a journey like this seeing a doctor openly admit "it was hard for me to wait against better judgement" "I tested early and often" etc. makes the average person feel less guilty for that human quality. We are all human and sometimes its hard in a season like this to take all of a doctor's advice and sometimes there's an immense amount of guilt of being anxious and failing to fight the feeling. In this society her honesty is refreshing and helpful. Congrats guys!!!
I took the First Response early test 4 days before my missed period (which the box said was in the correct window) and got a negative. Cut to 4 days later and my period didn't come. So I used a Dollar Tree test. BAM, positive.
I am over the moon for you guys and could see the glow in your faces and sparkle in your eyes-congratulations! Can’t wait to follow your journey with baby #2! 🎉
Congratulations! Although I actually waited until I was told by my IVF doctor. Just to avoid disappointment. So, I saved myself some nerves and got a super positive test day 10 after transfer)
Congrats! Don't feel crazy- I feel like anyone that's gone through a miscarriage or infertility always tests way too early but that's ok! I am due with my rainbow baby in a couple weeks and I tested positive at 9dpo and I waited until 10dpo to tell hubby.
Congratulations! I got a positive test with the strips on 8DPO, which was quite faint, then I ran to buy a first response electronic test and got a "positive" result! Now I am at 7 weeks and fingers-crossed for the best!
I also tested every morning for about 7 days after 8DPO just to see if the positive line got darker every day. The final home test I did was at 21DPO with clear blue to see if I could get a "3 weeks+" sign, and I did!
Congratulations love! ❤ what’s DPO? I’m asking everybody because I don’t understand it. Also I think I could be testing too early because my supposed period was supposed to come 10th September but I came on the 9th September a day before my expected period. I had bleeding for 3 days very light brown ish type bit of cramping. It stopped after that absolutely nothing!
@@sallyyanne Hi, DPO means days after ovulation. Normally, if you have a 28 days cycle then the ovulation day will be on the 14th day after the first day of period, if your cycle is 30 days, the ovulation is 16th.. I don't have a very stable cycle (it can be 30 to 35 days) so I used ovulation strips to track my ovulation. In your case, if your period is supposed to come on Sep 10th but you still cannot get a positive sign on Sep 18th, then most likely you are not pregnant. If you cannot be so sure, maybe you can test again tomorrow morning, since morning urine normally has the highest concentration of HCG. I would also recommend you to talk to your family doctor or OB and see if you can get a blood test.
@@yang3625 hi! Thanks for replying back. My regular cycle is 28 days and I start ovulating tomorrow so I’m going to try this cycle and wish me luck I’ve been trying to conceive now for about 6 months 🙏🏼🥺I tested this morning again and still BFN! Yes I have my family and close friends also my husband all very supportive. Fingers crossed I get my BFP soon🤞🏽
Yay! Now we're pregnant together xD I knew it bc Sarah was suddenly out of breath again in the videos! Unrelated, I'll have to watch the morning sickness vid again, but I don't remember unisom being recommended. My Dr suggested it and omg I've gone from vomiting 8 times in a day to barely any nausea with a combo of unisom and "dramamine" ginger chews. Anyway, congrats again!!
You guys deserve to have way more subscribers than you do. Your videos are so down to earth, yet super informative. Also love the disclaimer at the end. Congrats on baby #2.
Congratulations, m so happy for you. I could see how Sarah cldnt hold bck her excitement and it showed all over her. I know the feeling, it also took me time to get pregnant with my 3rd baby. You hv every right to be happy. Wishing you all a blessed journey.
You can’t get a positive pregnancy test before implantation. It may be that one egg was fertilised the cycle before and then your body didn’t fully acknowledged the fertilised egg and so released another egg the next month which also got fertilised. Have you had a scan yet? Are both babies the same week in age?
@Zara Art nope. I found out exactly 8DPO, and 11DPO was when I had the implantation bleeding and cramping (first time) and a day and a half later it happened again. Yes I've had multiple scans. I'm already 28 weeks pregnant. When I had my dating scan, the babies were about 2 or 3 days-ish apart. Measuring RIGHT on time with how I experienced it all. Doctor confirmation and everything. I'd been TTC for a year at that point. I'm extremely aware of my body.
@Zara Art I can assure you, i did in fact get a positive before the actual implantation happened. Ever heard of a chemical pregnancy??? Those happen when an egg fails to implant. Women still get positives with those though, even without implantation. You absolutely can get a positive. It's just not common for everyone.
@Zara Art my twins are diamniotic dichorionic twins. The doctor says I hyper ovulated, but we won't know if ONE egg was fertilized and split early on, or if both eggs I ovulated were fertilized. I'd been seeing a fertility specialist. They tracked my ovaries and my follicles with scans. It was confirmed I hyper ovulated and release 2 eggs. But only a DNA test with my twins will show if they were 1 EARLY split egg or if they were 2 separate eggs. Implantation was also confirmed by doctor to have been at least 2 days apart. Like I said, I'm extremely aware of my body and was seeing a fertility specialist.
I didn't test out my trigger but I also tested two days post transfer and it was obviously negative lol. 4dpt I took another test (I was using the wondfo ones because I didn't want to "waste" my FRERs) and it was a faint line, my FIRST EVER positive, because we also dealt with male factor infertility. I ordered my own blood test for 8dpt because I was also anxious and it was 145. Then my clinic started their beta tests at 10dpt and it was 303. 😄 I'm now 33 weeks with my first baby all thanks to IVF. So excited for you, good luck on this journey.
I so appreciate you posting your early positive strips. It is so helpful to see in evaluating my own excitement in seeing a line that is there or not there.
It's comforting to know that we're not The only ones that drive ourselves crazy during this kind of process! I'm usually usually over analyzing every single little symptom I have but but I usually try not to test before 12 days post ovulation because I don't want that heartbreak of scenes a faint line or thinking I do and thinking that I'm pregnant and then finding out that I'm actually not a couple days later I would rather just take the pain of waiting a couple more days, And knowing whatever answer I get is the correct one...
Congratulations! I can identify with this so much. I got my positive with my first baby 10dpo after trying for 5 years and got my positive on my second baby 9dpo after an additional 2 years of trying so I know the struggle after spending the better part of a decade doing this. The thing is, no matter how much I said I wasn't gonna test early every month it was like I was powerless to stop it. I also got betas done way to early and had to retest both times as they were there but under 20. On my second I felt like I knew, I got a very unique cramping that I had with my first so when I tested with one of the cheap dip sticks and it was negative I was like nope, I retested with the first response and got my faint line and now I'm 37 weeks lol. Like someone else said though, it's comforting to know that even though you are an ob and know it's not recommended, you feel the same compulsion to test early as the rest of us! I wish you guys the best on this journey and thank you for posting such a relatable video!
Aww congrats guys! And yep I totally tested on 2dpt and was completely crushed when it was stark negative. I got the faintest of squinters on 4dpt (which was my birthday) last year and a very stark clear BPF 6dpt. My baby girl's first transferversary is this month. It was 100% all worth it and I know it will be for you guys, too.
Oh my God! 🎉I am literally crying my eyes out in happiness for you guys!!!! I didn’t even do that for my own baby! I love you guys. I watched you through my first pregnancy. Praying so hard that baby stays strong and continues to grow! Omg happy tears!!! This is the best news all week! ❤😢😊
Congratulations! When we did IVF, I started testing 3 days post-transfer. Faint, faint positive that I thought was probably from the trigger shot. I tested every day until the blood draw, watching that line get darker and darker 😁 I'm so glad it worked for you on the first transfer! -I also thought after the successful transfer that I was "just pregnant", but every doctor's appointment I go in for, I learn about new things that are higher risk due to having conceived through IVF. There is certainly more testing and follow-up care with an IVF pregnancy, at least where I live.
Ahhhh congratulations!!!!!! I’m so happy for you!! I have been following along on your TH-cam journey from the beginning. On baby #1 our pregnancies were aligned almost down to the week, and I’m now 5 weeks pregnant again! I’m so excited to see your pregnancy journey this time around! Also, I completely relate to the neurotic test taking… I’m STILL taking tests to make sure the lines are getting darker. 😂 congratulations again you guys!!!
Yay for baby number 2!! My first pregnancy symptoms were a runny nose, migraine, and carpel tunnel flare up. I also had one random bout of nausea that week around lunch time.
I immediately paused the video and went to the comments! I just had to know!! I’m so excited for you guys. I’m still trying for #2, this is my 5th month trying, and this is the month I got pregnant with my daughter after we started trying. So I’m really hoping this is my month too! Just have to wait another week and a half. I want to test early, and have some tests from Amazon, but I am so nervous because I want this to be my month! I’m so excited for you guys! Congratulations!!
Hi! I love your videos so much! But I have a question/video idea. I have endometriosis and polycystic ovaries, and I only have a period 2-5 times per year, so its really hard for me to track ovulation. Would you be willing to make a video about TTC with irregular cycles? I’d love to hear about both at home options and medication options for improving chances of conception for people like me. I can’t find much information about it anywhere! When I look it up, I just hear about IVF. I’d really really appreciate hearing about other options and I’m sure other women and families feel the same way! Thanks so so much!
I'm 13 dpo today and had a negative home test. Our fifth IVF cycle, fourth embryo transfer. I'm afraid this one isn't it either. I never get any frozen embryos and they tend to transfer mine at 3dpo as they seem to stop developing in the lab after. Having my blood tested in 4 days but I kind of lost hope. Greetings from Croatia, your channel has helped me a lot during this time.
Congratulations guys!! That was a serious roller coaster for a few minutes there!! Can't wait to follow baby #2's journey! I'm 24w+4d with baby #1 and was told I will definitely have a csection, any good advice for a first timer who is VERY nervous about a csection?
Aww thank you so much! And congrats to you too!! You’re over halfway there!! As for advice-check out our video on what to expect with a c-section: th-cam.com/video/Gl_PzPraWS8/w-d-xo.html !! And keep asking lots of questions, getting to know your OB so you feel comfortable and confident with the plan!! C-sections are one of the most common surgeries done in the US every single day, but the more you know what to expect ahead of time, the better!! Wishing you a smooth rest of your pregnancy!!
hi! i’m also a first time mom, i had my baby a month ago via c section. it was the most calm, chill experience i’ve had and so far recovery has been easy for me. it’s really not as scary as it sounds, and since you already know you’ll be having one/it’s a planned one, it will make the experience that much easier for you. i would 100% do it all over again. i send you good wishes for the rest of your journey, and congratulations on your first baby! it’s a wonderful experience overall!
@@spac3c0ast Thank you for this! I am hoping that since it's planned it helps a little. We dealt with 10 years of infertility before getting pregnant successfully so I'm just ready for my little boy to be here with us whatever way that has to happen!
We are so happy about the good news, can’t wait Wednesday to find out. Congratulations!!! We saw that in the beginning of the video you guys are so happy, You guys can relax now and all the best.
Yay! Congratulations! I've been watching your channel since the beginning of my pregnancy and now postpartum with my 5 month old. I can't wait to watch your journey with baby #2!
Woo-hoo! Congratulations!!! We just had our first chemical pregnancy this past week so seeing this video cheered me up :) :) :) We wish you a smooth and healthy pregnancy.
Congratulations! 🥳🎉 I am really happy to hear that. I can't wait to watch the videos about the journey. When I got pregnant the second time, I had the worst bloating ever, so the next morning I tested and it was so so thin, but I was also shocked 😅 I did not expect that symptom. 😄
I mostly had my regular pre-period symptoms, but maybe more than usual. I vomited at 9DPO, that's when I really had an inkling! But I didn't dare test until 12DPO since I didn't want to be disappointed (tried for 6 months), and it was super positive! Now almost 11 weeks! Congratulations to you! Will be fun to follow along :D
Hi! Congratulations to you love! What is DPO? I have regular period cycles 28 days. I had bleeding on the 9th but my period was due on the 10th? It lasted for 3 days I tested for pregnancy it said negative. I tested again today 18th September still negative? Am I testing too early or was it just my period?
@@sallyyanne @ccbenzi Thanks! DPO stands for Days Past Ovulation, which you can confirm by taking your basal body temperature. Hard to say without any more info, but you could have just had a light period? I doubt it was implantation bleeding if you're this far past your expected period and still testing negative. Still not impossible though! But I would think you're due to ovulate any day now, so I'd make sure to try again. Good luck!
@@CarolineCarnivorous no worries! Yes I’m due to ovulate tomorrow actually. Thanks 🙏🏼❤️wish me luck I’m trying to conceive I’ve been trying for 6 months now 😊
I found out at 2 week 6 days when I went to planned parenthood & they did an ultrasound there wasn't nothing in there now I'm 15 weeks with a baby girl ... I bought a 89 cent test from Walmart
Congratulations! I could tell because you were both smiling so much in this video! My husband and I are also facing secondary infertility. I’m hoping we won’t have to do IVF because of cost but it’s so nice to see a success story. Thanks for sharing.
I am so excited for you guys!!! Fellow IVF mama here and I know how exciting this time is. And I am so happy it worked the first round too! Took us 4! So much baby dust on your growing family ❤
Twin implantation question: how far apart time wise is normal/average implantation of both twins? Same time? Hours apart? Days apart? Could one implant on 7dpo and the other on 8 or 9dpo?
I’m pregnant with my first baby. I’m trying to figure out what to have in case of an emergency & was wondering if you have a first aid kit for your baby? If you do what is in your kit?
you guys are always pregnant when i might be 😅 last year when i was looking at these videos you were expecting your first! congratulations! i lost mine last year unfortunately but i’m back again in my 2ww feeling good. thanks for all your help!
I'm so happy for you guys!! Congratulations 👏🏻 I just found out (yesterday) I'm also expecting a second baby ☺️ can't wait to have a full house! Will love to know when is you due date!!
Listening to how out of breath and stuffy Sarah was throughout this video, I had a feeling before they actually said so. ❤❤❤ congrats you guys! So happy for you!
Thank you SO MUCH and Congratulations to you on your rainbow baby. We are sending wishes for a smooth and healthy pregnancy. Send all the tips for wrangling more than one at a time!! Lol
Started but then skipped the rest of the video cause felt I knew this info. Didn't twig was the announcement video! (Until just saw your most recent journey update). Big congratulations! 😊🥳💜
Progesterone is a pro-gestation hormone...wowzers my mind is blown!! I've studied Biology and am in med school myself and never caught that. Thanks docs! =)
Congrats! Haha, Sarah, you're so cute, I love your enthusiasm in talking about your field of expertise. Thanks to both of you for sharing your real feelings about your journey. Looking forward to seeing what comes next!
Congratulations!!!!!!! 🎉🥳🎉🥳 I have been following you for about a year now and I just couldn't be happier for you 🔥 thank you for sharing all your knowledge with us!! I watched so religiously while I was pregnant, and your videos about breastfeeding really helped me with that part of my journey. We will probably start trying for baby number two in about 6 more months. It's so fun to have you guys basically in tandem with our journey.
Congratulations to you both on getting pregnant with baby #2! 🎉 Weird question for you: You mentioned that you recorded your pregnancy test reveal after each TWW, just in case you got a BFP. Did you keep those recordings, and would you consider releasing a compilation of them? (IG may be a more appropriate vehicle than TH-cam for something like that.) I’ve enjoyed following your IVF journey, and what you’ve done to educate us on and normalize fertility issues is AMAZING. ❤
Ahhh making myself wait until tomorrow morning to test (~12 dpo, got my first BFP for my daughter the morning of 12 dpo). Trying not to be too hopeful but I really really hope it's positive 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hi congratulations!!! It would be nice if u had a video about pregnancy vaccines when is safest time to take them, and about the new fall covid vaccine/booster...thank you so much
Congratulations! So happy for you both especially after all you went through. Could you do a video on when to start ttc for #2 when someone has had a long journey to #1 (2 years, PCOS, miscarriage, IUIs) and is approaching 40. Including when you might need to stop breastfeeding in order to facilitate hormones resetting for #2. I want to bf for as long as possible but don’t want to lessen my chances of another healthy pregnancy. Thanks so much for all your great info, I’ve been watching since the beginning :)
Congratulations!!!! It must have been those fries 😉 I found out the ivf was successful in hospital where i got committed due to ovarian hyperstimulation 😬 Getting ill got me hoping for a positive, and it got confirmed with a blood test, but even after that i had to take a home test in the hospital bathroom just to see those two long awaited lines 😛 Best of luck to you in your pregnancy🤞❤️
Congratulations! What a beautiful gift of baby #2.. so excited for you all and to follow this journey as well! Also thank you for being so honest about crazy testing as well it makes the rest of us feel a lot better about it 😅
I am sooo happy for you guys. Congratulations❤️🎊🎉🥳. We are also trying hope we get some good news too with second child like you. I have hopes now after hearing your story. Thank you both 🙏🏼
I took a test the evening of 7dpo with a first response and got the faintest positive the next morning more visible but still faint. That was the earliest I’ve ever got a positive test.
Omg yay congrats !! We are trying for our second baby so excited!! I've been tracking with Mira Fertility Monitor and my pharmacist recently told me that Mom Med pregnancy tests are in the NY Times rated as sensitive as First Response pregnancy test so I bought a box and tried it out I was impressed they definitely work very accurate but I do get First Response pregnancy tests for free since my Doctor Office only uses First Response pregnancy tests and I get 20 per month for free but the Mom Med pregnancy test is good for people who are trying to save and you want to test daily
Congratulations!! I just found im 5 weeks pregnant with my first baby!! I have dealt with infertility due to PCOS but I finally have my miracle baby! I’m excited to follow your journey!
Congratulations. I m trying from 4 years really desperate for that good news
Congratulations with the miracle ❤ baby. May filled with all blessing s
My 14mo old is from IVF & now unexpectedly 5wks pregnant with baby number 2 conceived naturally. So happy to follow along with your pregnancy journey again. Congratulations!
Just out of curiosity how old are you? I'm asking because I'm 33 and have heard it could be harder to get pregnant naturally
I knew it! You can tell when Sarah is feeling good or bad and in the last few videos she was so happy and glowing! I knew something was different! We are so happy for you. We wish you an easy pregnancy and a healthy baby! Thank you for sharing with us.
Can you get pregnant the day after ovulation ? Like the very next day if you did something that day
@@Journeywithmiesha yes

I implanted twice. Pregnant with twins 🥰

4 days post transition? does it mean 4 days after implantation? can you make it clear please? thank you
@user-fx6ys6yd6m DPT stands for days past transfer. So 4 DPT would be 4 days after an embryo transfer.

Congrats! 👏 I'm also pregnant with baby #2 right now, but my baby #1 is 13 years old already. It took us awhile, but now it's even more exciting.
Woow congratulations 🎉how was your discharge in your early pregnancy
Ahhhh congratulations!!!!!! I’m so happy for you!! I have been following along on your TH-cam journey from the beginning. On baby #1 our pregnancies were aligned almost down to the week, and I’m now 5 weeks pregnant again! I’m so excited to see your pregnancy journey this time around! Also, I completely relate to the neurotic test taking… I’m STILL taking tests to make sure the lines are getting darker. 😂 congratulations again you guys!!!
I wanted to leave a comment. Because. I love, your love. Love your knowledge, and your genuine nature that comes across so clearly on TH-cam.
Yay for baby number 2!!
My first pregnancy symptoms were a runny nose, migraine, and carpel tunnel flare up. I also had one random bout of nausea that week around lunch time.
I immediately paused the video and went to the comments! I just had to know!! I’m so excited for you guys. I’m still trying for #2, this is my 5th month trying, and this is the month I got pregnant with my daughter after we started trying. So I’m really hoping this is my month too! Just have to wait another week and a half. I want to test early, and have some tests from Amazon, but I am so nervous because I want this to be my month!
I’m so excited for you guys! Congratulations!!
Awwwh I could tell right away! Sarah was just trying to hold back her happiness the whole time❤️congratulations you guys !
Hi! I love your videos so much! But I have a question/video idea. I have endometriosis and polycystic ovaries, and I only have a period 2-5 times per year, so its really hard for me to track ovulation. Would you be willing to make a video about TTC with irregular cycles? I’d love to hear about both at home options and medication options for improving chances of conception for people like me. I can’t find much information about it anywhere! When I look it up, I just hear about IVF. I’d really really appreciate hearing about other options and I’m sure other women and families feel the same way! Thanks so so much!
I got my positive 5 days post transfer too! Congratulations!
Yay congrats! We’re trying for our second baby as well, so this is great timing. Thank you!
I'm 13 dpo today and had a negative home test. Our fifth IVF cycle, fourth embryo transfer. I'm afraid this one isn't it either. I never get any frozen embryos and they tend to transfer mine at 3dpo as they seem to stop developing in the lab after. Having my blood tested in 4 days but I kind of lost hope. Greetings from Croatia, your channel has helped me a lot during this time.
Congratulations guys!! That was a serious roller coaster for a few minutes there!! Can't wait to follow baby #2's journey! I'm 24w+4d with baby #1 and was told I will definitely have a csection, any good advice for a first timer who is VERY nervous about a csection?
Aww thank you so much! And congrats to you too!! You’re over halfway there!! As for advice-check out our video on what to expect with a c-section: th-cam.com/video/Gl_PzPraWS8/w-d-xo.html !! And keep asking lots of questions, getting to know your OB so you feel comfortable and confident with the plan!! C-sections are one of the most common surgeries done in the US every single day, but the more you know what to expect ahead of time, the better!! Wishing you a smooth rest of your pregnancy!!
@@TheDoctorsBjorkman heading to the video now! Thank you!!
hi! i’m also a first time mom, i had my baby a month ago via c section. it was the most calm, chill experience i’ve had and so far recovery has been easy for me. it’s really not as scary as it sounds, and since you already know you’ll be having one/it’s a planned one, it will make the experience that much easier for you. i would 100% do it all over again. i send you good wishes for the rest of your journey, and congratulations on your first baby! it’s a wonderful experience overall!
@@spac3c0ast Thank you for this! I am hoping that since it's planned it helps a little. We dealt with 10 years of infertility before getting pregnant successfully so I'm just ready for my little boy to be here with us whatever way that has to happen!
We are so happy about the good news, can’t wait Wednesday to find out.
Congratulations!!!
We saw that in the beginning of the video you guys are so happy,
You guys can relax now and all the best.
I was smiling so much for you!!!!!!
I am also a doctor and going through IUI now :)
Yay! Congratulations! I've been watching your channel since the beginning of my pregnancy and now postpartum with my 5 month old. I can't wait to watch your journey with baby #2!
Woo-hoo! Congratulations!!!
We just had our first chemical pregnancy this past week so seeing this video cheered me up :) :) :) We wish you a smooth and healthy pregnancy.
Congratulations! 🥳🎉
I am really happy to hear that. I can't wait to watch the videos about the journey.
When I got pregnant the second time, I had the worst bloating ever, so the next morning I tested and it was so so thin, but I was also shocked 😅 I did not expect that symptom. 😄
I mostly had my regular pre-period symptoms, but maybe more than usual. I vomited at 9DPO, that's when I really had an inkling! But I didn't dare test until 12DPO since I didn't want to be disappointed (tried for 6 months), and it was super positive! Now almost 11 weeks! Congratulations to you! Will be fun to follow along :D
Hi! Congratulations to you love! What is DPO? I have regular period cycles 28 days. I had bleeding on the 9th but my period was due on the 10th? It lasted for 3 days I tested for pregnancy it said negative. I tested again today 18th September still negative? Am I testing too early or was it just my period?
I tested on the 13th & 18th September
@@sallyyanne @ccbenzi Thanks! DPO stands for Days Past Ovulation, which you can confirm by taking your basal body temperature. Hard to say without any more info, but you could have just had a light period? I doubt it was implantation bleeding if you're this far past your expected period and still testing negative. Still not impossible though! But I would think you're due to ovulate any day now, so I'd make sure to try again. Good luck!
@@CarolineCarnivorous no worries! Yes I’m due to ovulate tomorrow actually. Thanks 🙏🏼❤️wish me luck I’m trying to conceive I’ve been trying for 6 months now 😊
@@sallyyanne Good luck! Hope 6 months is when it finally sticks for you too!
I found out at 2 week 6 days when I went to planned parenthood & they did an ultrasound there wasn't nothing in there now I'm 15 weeks with a baby girl ... I bought a 89 cent test from Walmart
Congrats to you!! Baby girls are so fun! Hope your pregnancy is going well!!
Okay absolutely the most adorable intro ever ❤
Congratulations! So happy for you and can't wait to follow more of your journey and this channel.
Yayyyyyy!!! Love this. God bless you guys. I found your channel when I found out I was pregnant with my now 1 yr old. Can’t wait to see more 💕
Congratulations! I could tell because you were both smiling so much in this video! My husband and I are also facing secondary infertility. I’m hoping we won’t have to do IVF because of cost but it’s so nice to see a success story. Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations 🎉 so happy for you both!
Thank you so so much! We are so excited. :)
I am so excited for you guys!!! Fellow IVF mama here and I know how exciting this time is. And I am so happy it worked the first round too! Took us 4! So much baby dust on your growing family ❤
Congratulations to both of you, happy pregnancy journey to you. So happy for your
Congratulations! So many blessings from Mexico to you. Lots of hugs and love!
Yaaay! Congratulations!! ♥️ Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy and baby!!
I have never seen your channel before but I am glad I came across! You seem like a very lovely couple ❤❤❤
Congrats! 😍 Got my pregnancy positive at 9dpo with a test strip AND digital. I know for sure it was 9dpo bc I take my basal body temperature.
Congratulations to you both..still waiting for my embryo transfer at the end of Sept🤩 hoping for a good news too
Twin implantation question: how far apart time wise is normal/average implantation of both twins? Same time? Hours apart? Days apart? Could one implant on 7dpo and the other on 8 or 9dpo?
I’m pregnant with my first baby. I’m trying to figure out what to have in case of an emergency & was wondering if you have a first aid kit for your baby? If you do what is in your kit?
Congratulations! So excited for y’all and praying over baby #2!
Congratulations!!! This was a very timely video.
you guys are always pregnant when i might be 😅 last year when i was looking at these videos you were expecting your first! congratulations! i lost mine last year unfortunately but i’m back again in my 2ww feeling good. thanks for all your help!
Congrats! I'm glad your treatment worked.
I'm so happy for you guys!! Congratulations 👏🏻
I just found out (yesterday) I'm also expecting a second baby ☺️ can't wait to have a full house!
Will love to know when is you due date!!
Listening to how out of breath and stuffy Sarah was throughout this video, I had a feeling before they actually said so. ❤❤❤ congrats you guys! So happy for you!
Congratulations I am due with baby 4 after a miscarriage so excited to follow along
Thank you SO MUCH and Congratulations to you on your rainbow baby. We are sending wishes for a smooth and healthy pregnancy. Send all the tips for wrangling more than one at a time!! Lol
@@TheDoctorsBjorkman thank you sadly so far I have thyriod issues so I am high risk now maybe you can make a video on that?
Started but then skipped the rest of the video cause felt I knew this info. Didn't twig was the announcement video! (Until just saw your most recent journey update). Big congratulations! 😊🥳💜
Progesterone is a pro-gestation hormone...wowzers my mind is blown!! I've studied Biology and am in med school myself and never caught that. Thanks docs! =)
Aww and Baby Number Two!!! Congratulations, I'm so happy for you!!
I had pin pricking type of pain on one side on 5dpo. I was thinking i can be pregnant this time but today on 10dpo the test was negative:(
So so happy for you!!! Congratulations 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Congrats! Haha, Sarah, you're so cute, I love your enthusiasm in talking about your field of expertise. Thanks to both of you for sharing your real feelings about your journey. Looking forward to seeing what comes next!
i literally teared when you mentioned the first negative blood test then you got me!!! such a great storyteller 😂 congratulations ❤❤❤❤
Congratulations to both of you guys
Congratulations 🎊🎉🎈 so happy for you guys! I love watching your videos so cute and informational without being pushy!
Congratulations!!!! Was not expecting a pregnancy announcement here, I love it!
Congrats to you all. So happy for you both!
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!! I am sooo happy for you ☺️ 😊 god bless you 🙏
Aaah congrats!!! I totally knew it after the last video and all the smiles 🥰🥰🥰
Congratulations!!!!!!! 🎉🥳🎉🥳 I have been following you for about a year now and I just couldn't be happier for you 🔥 thank you for sharing all your knowledge with us!! I watched so religiously while I was pregnant, and your videos about breastfeeding really helped me with that part of my journey. We will probably start trying for baby number two in about 6 more months. It's so fun to have you guys basically in tandem with our journey.
Woooow that was an emotional rollercoaster. Congratulations
Yayyy! Congratulations!! So happy for you guys!
I got a faint positive between days 10-11 which grew stronger until finally a strong line appeared on day 14
Congratulations!!! Happy for you guys!!🤍
I’ve been waiting for this video! 😝 I’m so happy for y’all! I’m ready to be next. 🤞🏼
Congratulations to you both on getting pregnant with baby #2! 🎉
Weird question for you: You mentioned that you recorded your pregnancy test reveal after each TWW, just in case you got a BFP. Did you keep those recordings, and would you consider releasing a compilation of them? (IG may be a more appropriate vehicle than TH-cam for something like that.) I’ve enjoyed following your IVF journey, and what you’ve done to educate us on and normalize fertility issues is AMAZING. ❤
Ahhh making myself wait until tomorrow morning to test (~12 dpo, got my first BFP for my daughter the morning of 12 dpo). Trying not to be too hopeful but I really really hope it's positive 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Congratulations on your bundle of joy
Hi congratulations!!! It would be nice if u had a video about pregnancy vaccines when is safest time to take them, and about the new fall covid vaccine/booster...thank you so much
Congratulations! So happy for you both especially after all you went through. Could you do a video on when to start ttc for #2 when someone has had a long journey to #1 (2 years, PCOS, miscarriage, IUIs) and is approaching 40. Including when you might need to stop breastfeeding in order to facilitate hormones resetting for #2. I want to bf for as long as possible but don’t want to lessen my chances of another healthy pregnancy. Thanks so much for all your great info, I’ve been watching since the beginning :)
Congratulations 🎉!!! So super excited for you guys. I love watching you guys videos. Many blessings to you guys.
Thank you thank you! It means a lot to us and we are glad you are here with us on the journey!
Congratulations!!!! It must have been those fries 😉
I found out the ivf was successful in hospital where i got committed due to ovarian hyperstimulation 😬
Getting ill got me hoping for a positive, and it got confirmed with a blood test, but even after that i had to take a home test in the hospital bathroom just to see those two long awaited lines 😛
Best of luck to you in your pregnancy🤞❤️
Yay!!! Congratulations! I could tell. I hope I get great news too. I just love you two.
Congratulations! What a beautiful gift of baby #2.. so excited for you all and to follow this journey as well! Also thank you for being so honest about crazy testing as well it makes the rest of us feel a lot better about it 😅
Congrats!!! I’m so happy for y’all!! 🥹
You guys make me cry
So happy for you
I am sooo happy for you guys. Congratulations❤️🎊🎉🥳. We are also trying hope we get some good news too with second child like you. I have hopes now after hearing your story. Thank you both 🙏🏼
Thank you so much Ria. Sending you all the good luck and baby dust as well for baby #2!!
I didn't realize y'all were still making videos after baby. Pleasant surprise!! 💖
I took a test the evening of 7dpo with a first response and got the faintest positive the next morning more visible but still faint. That was the earliest I’ve ever got a positive test.
Yessss! And that is why I always tested so darn early-cause every once in a while people get them that early!!
@@TheDoctorsBjorkman this is my 6th pregnancy, 4th successful pregnancy, and all the others have been either 10 or on 11 dpo
Congratulations!!!!!! So excited for you guys :)
Omg yay congrats !! We are trying for our second baby so excited!! I've been tracking with Mira Fertility Monitor and my pharmacist recently told me that Mom Med pregnancy tests are in the NY Times rated as sensitive as First Response pregnancy test so I bought a box and tried it out I was impressed they definitely work very accurate but I do get First Response pregnancy tests for free since my Doctor Office only uses First Response pregnancy tests and I get 20 per month for free but the Mom Med pregnancy test is good for people who are trying to save and you want to test daily
Congratulations guys!!! ❤️ you just made my evening with your news and with your story 😊😄 lots of love! Greetings from Germany!
Congratulations Sarah & Kurt! 🎉❤
Congratulations! Absolutely delighted for you guys ❤
Thank you for sharing with us!❤️
