#Sustainable #StiversHomestead #Infertility
I dealt with fertility issues for years...we finally gave up and I’ve never been blessed with children. Be so very thankful you have 2 beautiful children. Blessings guys🙏🏻💖
Hey friends, being the Momma of 5 I can just offer this, that stress does affect your ability to conceive. I'm confidant that come spring and your totally settled into your new homestead veggie seeds won't be the only seeds your planting! Love and prayers.
My husband and I got pregnant very easily the first time we tried, about 3 months. Fast forward to 3 years later and we decide to try again. 2 years go by with no success. I get all the tests done including a very uncomfortable exam. Finally my man got tested and was told he was functionally sterile. We were shocked! Low motility and low numbers. Turns out we had a miracle baby; a one in 20 billion beautiful girl. Please get the test. It also found a problem that would have killed him before age 40, he's 66 now.
I took your advised and went and had my yearly physical and found out I have trouble with liver, kidney and three hernias. Thank you for telling me what you guys been doing and I'm getting the some supplies , just wait for them to come in..
It was suggested that I lose weight... would not only help with getting pregnant but with overall health and vitality.
Well said, without being rude, Jen should loose weight it will help to get pregnant
And also it's very important for health reasons.. I'm surprised that her doctor didn't say anything.
Getting pregnant would add 30 plus pounds so maybe the body is holding off until at a healthier weight. Not trying to be ugly but carrying extra weight when pregnant brings on many issues .
Charolette I also had successfully became pregnant after going through the appointments and next step of fertility however after I lost 30 lbs I became pregnant!!
I was unable to conceive when overweight I lost weight and had a baby then I gained weight again and was never able to get pregnant all test are normal.
Lisa Leavelle I gained 6 my entire pregnancy and he was 6.1 but I lost 27 having him!! I gained 12 with my daughter she was also 6lbs and after her birth I lost 32!!!! This was befor I even left the hospital!!!
Im so glad that they didn't find any real issues with you Jen.Praying the same for Zack.Love how open and honest you guys are.
I'm adopted. A cool thing about being adopted is that you know that you are wanted and loved. You guys are cool. We love watching you all.
thank yall for sharing i know its not easy to share but so appreciated.. see more babies coming in the future :)
Oh please go Zach because you really should know if there is something other than fertility going on. Every man needs a complete work up just like women do. Early detection is key.
Yea I get normal check ups. The doc recommended a semen analysis...that’s the appointment me were talking about not doing.
@@StiversHomestead the analysis is one of the important factors in detecting issues. It won’t hurt!
Yes Zack, when I was married back in the 90's I had infertility issues of my own so my Dr ran a bunch of tests on me and he also took a sperm sample from my then husband and it was extremely low. You just never know.
I don’t know if you drive a car with heated seats, but there is some connection with men’s privates getting too hot and lowering counts. Hot baths are a no no too, I’ve heard. I’m happy Jen got such a good report. You both have had a stressful year with the big move. Maybe the new home will bring a new baby. Good luck! 🍀
@@PleasantPrickles What a good reminder.💗
PRAYERS OUT TO YOU BOTH ON YOUR PATH, GOD BLESS AND PEACE TO ALL ..
I worked for an Endocrinologist. If thyroid off it can prevent pregnancy or effect pregnancy
Zach should get checked too though, just in case he has developed issues. Some health issues can sneak up on you, like enlarged heart or heart failure. 😥
Yea I get normal check ups. The doc recommended a semen analysis...that’s the appointment me were talking about not doing.
@@StiversHomestead my husband and I have been down this rabbit hole. Get tested and go from there. We tried for 7 years went through all the tests. Did the ovulation temp checks every day. They finally decided to do a DNC and found a little block. Took the block out and within a year (and a blizzard 78) we had our oldest son.
@@StiversHomestead that’s routine for the male to have done. It’s possible but I think unlikely since you fathered 2 children already. Jen, track your cycle and get an ovulation predictor test. Zach, abstained for 2 days no longer than 3 before trying again. Like you were both talking about, it could be just timing.
@@StiversHomestead any other questions, I’m here to help.
@@StiversHomestead I don't blame you for not doing that if you are not prepared to go for fertility treatments anyway. No point and it will make you feel inadequate. All the best
Slight variations in your TSH can cause infertility and miscarriages. So WHEN you do conceive be sure to keep an eye on your levels.
I agree! please have the other thyroid tests done - T3 and T4
After having 3 children I developed hypothyroidism. I had secondary infertility where I was able to get pregnant but suffered repeated losses. My experience was that I needed thyroid meds in order to get pregnant and stay pregnant. I had weekly appointments at the start of my pregnancy to monitor thyroid and hormone levels. I was on progesterone support as a precaution and my thyroid meds needed adjustment before I reached 6 weeks but then it stayed stable until delivery. After giving birth it took about 9 months and 3 meds changes for my thyroid to stabilize.
Thanks for sharing your story, Karen. You said ‘thyroid and hormone levels’. Can I just point out that thyroid hormone is a hormone so it should be ‘thyroid and other hormone levels’. Insulin is also a hormone. Yes, symptoms of hypothyroidism can include tiredness and putting on weight and are often mentioned. That might be why people think it’s not a serious problem. It actually affects every cell of the body - it can affect your heart rate, for example - so it’s perhaps not surprising that it is also involved in fertility issues.
It’s mainly women who are affected so it seems, to me, intimately bound up with the other female hormones. It’s not necessarily that we are living an unhealthy lifestyle but somehow our (male) partners are healthy.
In His time, he makes all things beautiful in His time. If it is meant to be it will be. You are both healthy and happy and have two healthy blessings running around. So it's all good. Blessings to your family!
I'm a nurse. Zak I would encourage you to get a physical and checked out.
Yea I get normal check ups. the visit we were explaining was they recommended me to get a semen analysis.
My third child I only had one ovary left. This was back in the 80’s and we finally decided to do the temperature and ovulation calendar. Now a days it’s so much easier with the test kits you can buy. Anyway’s it took 8 months and we got pregnant and we had a beautiful baby girl. Prayers for your struggles and God is good and will be blessing you very soon. 🙏🏻
Glad you FINALLY went to the doctor. Zach does need to go to make sure he’s health and get established with a doctor.
He has been. We were just saying we didn’t want to do a semen analysis.
Stivers Homestead
First of all happy to hear everything is ok. I can understand about a topic being awkward or uncomfortable, especially reproductive health. However, we’re all adults here or at least we should act like adults and talking about “grown-up” topics. Thanks for sharing and please, if possible don’t let it bother you, if you can handle it, we can too!
@@StiversHomestead Come on, Zach, you can do this. lol
My husband went to the doctor and they told him we couldn’t have children but we went to a new doctor. We had one with fertility meds. And one without. You guys will be ok it will happen when you don’t expect it too!! Just enjoy your time with each other and your 2 little ones.
Just a little imput. My thyroid levels were normal and I still had thyroid cancer. Not everyones body falls in the "normal " category.
You both are so transparent & that is awesome!
Jen, so glad you finally had your feminine checkup. I went for 17 years without one and then found I had cervical cancer. I laid it in God's hands and although it required 4 surgeries, I am now cancer free.
Side note: Jen - your hair is beautiful!
I’m thankful you both are healthy. I went to a PA (physicians assistant) one time cause my abdomen kept getting bigger and bigger. She told me I needed to loose weight was the only thing wrong with me. I went to another doctor and she sent me to have an ultrasound and long story short I had surgery to have a 22pound mass removed from my abdomen. And had to have a complete hysterectomy. It had grown around my female organs and was getting bigger by the week. If I hadn’t went to another doctor I’m positive it would have killed me. Always get a second opinion when it comes to something like that. Love you all so much. Have a great evening
Good health is such a huge blessing!
HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY! So glad you're healthy. And thank you for sharing your open book with me. Many Blessings, Stay well!
I was not able to get pregnant until I was on thyroid medication when I found out I had thyroid issues. I hope you can do it naturally but don't be afraid to take the medication if its needed. You can always go off of it and healing your thyroid in the future. Going the natural route is amazing if you can do it!!
Thyroid is the first thing I was told to fix. It’s a leading cause. I too thought I was barely off but when you do research you find that the test is highly variable and we are often far more off than we realize. Fatigue and weight gain are two symptoms often related to low thyroid.
I take Armour thyroid. Made a world of difference. Synthroid caused me to lose my hair and feel awful.
Make sure to monitor your thyroid when pregnant and take thyroid med if needed or it can affect future health of your child.
Best wishes. I went through a spell with infertility. They gave me clomid and I got pregnant with my 2nd son. Years later at 42 I got pregnant with my last. My son Tristan. I have 5 children. Hope your pregnant soon. My husband had to get tested. Buy a fertility kit that tells you when you ovulating.
I worked for an infertility doctor and surgeon for 10 years. Any type of medical issues can pop up.
I have some advice,and please don’t take this the wrong way because I love you guys, but one of the first things the doctor would say is lose some weight. We have had patients lose 10-20 lbs and bam! They became pregnant.
I to was wondering why Jen did not mention weight loss for overweight fertility issues. Body fat has hormones that also impact on pregnancy. I was being more aggressive than you and thinking 30-50 lbs , so when pregnant, you are the healthiest you can be.
Have you heard of Trim Healthy Mama? Lots of wonderful information about a mother's health, with a gentle healthy approach to weight loss.
Agreed
Couldn't with you more.. Jen should loose alot of weight... I'm very surprised that her doctor didn't mention it!! Carrying alot of weight is extremely bad, can cause lots of health issues not just fertility problems, in the USA many people are overweight.. Bad diet..
Praying that everything works out for you guys. God bless y’all.
Moving is one of the most stressful things that one can do. I have a feeling that once y’all get really settled everything will fall into place for you. Prayers for y’all ❤️
I had my thyroid removed 25 years ago and have been on a glandular thyroid for almost the entire time. You did good!! Great job at self care and being proactive!!
5 years of ivf and finally success and then 2 surprise babies after. We had a 1 percent success rate. What did we change? My husband took his cell phone out of his pocket. Zach, take your cell out of your pocket. We know many people that has worked for since we starting tell people.
Also, Jenn, you already look glowing in this video, I think this baby is coming soon! Sending you baby dust.
Great advice💗
I’m confused. Why is Jen getting all of her normal healthcare maintenance done and not Zack. Do the thing, Zack.
I agree
Absolutely. Jen said, ‘He’s produced two children so there’s nothing wrong with him’. But she’s produced two children and did all the tests. Well, some of them.
He should at least have blood work. There are two people involved in this. One is undergoing testing. The other isn’t. Makes no sense.
@stshnie actually it does make perfect sense! I was once in the same mindset as Jen and tried for years to conceive. however I was 32 and still without child and or pregnancy . Sometime our minds have a huge part in the baby game!! I had gone to my dr in Aug and we explained how long we tried. (2years) the next step came to lots of blood testing for me as we ended that with the same results including thyroid as Jen has! After that my dr said if your not pregnant by December infertility would be our next step starting January. Blood work for the hubby but not until then... prayers and weight loss and stop trying so hard!!!! Ok 4 months of waiting wasn’t so bad for fertility test. Well I was with child by September!!!! Less then 3 weeks later!!!!!
Jen needs to relax !!! Stop thinking about it and let Zac just do the deed! It was the sunflower seeds that my husband ate that boosted his little swimmers!!!! Having our children is a blessing not a job or hard job at that! Now we all know they have been there and done this however all the worry the thoughts they really do cause craziness and you just gotta believer can still happen at this Stage Jen!!
Go have fun and enjoy the process!
SO WITH THAT SAID AND DONE AS MY TWO CHILDREN! ARE Living proof of AGES 11 & 8 . I lost one in the middle. One month on birth control after my first I became with child again and miscarried. Then I was blessed with my daughter when I turned 35.. after her I had my tubes tied for the concern of my age and being high risk at 35. I have a deaf brother and I know how risky it could be at my age.. but I’ll guarantee I would have had another had I not. Jen ,Zac let go let God and have fun!!! Prayers for you all!!
My mom was told she could not give birth to any more babies. I am the oldest of 6 children and mom was happy with all of us. When I was 10 the doctor told her that was going to have another baby. She was shock and so was I. Because I was the babysitter of all of us. When I turned 11 my little brother was born. When he learned to walk, I always made him go sleep between mom and dad. Just to make sure there was no more babies.
Morning y’all, Jen, that was great news you are in great health. God is good.
When I lost my youngest daughter over 22 years ago, I realized your children are a gift from God, he can call them home anytime. Do your best with them, teach them, LOVE ❤️ them, they are a precious gift.
You are an awesome family, so glad to “know” you. Please take care and be safe.
You really want your thyroid levels to be spot on. As someone who had to have my thyroid removed, it isn't anything to play around with. Even a tiny bit out of tolerance, makes a HUGE difference in how you feel and how your entire immune system functions. Please see an endocrinologist to explore the thyroid issue further.
I just love y'all lol! Being so open and genuine lol!
Praying for everything to fall into place.
Thank yall for sharing!
Jen walking out with that note cheesing, I could see that happening lol!!
Jenn, my son in law is a Chiropractor. They have all the same medical training as an MD just not pharmacology . With that being said , several years ago his secretary /front office had mentioned her and hubby were going to be taking harmones as they were trying to get pregnant ...they had been checked and nothing was found wrong ! My son in law told her to try a series of adjustments and see if that didn’t help . She was adjusted 3 times in 3months , the 4th. Month she was pregnant !, She had 3 children back to back ! Got turned on couldn’t turn off ! 😂🤣 Just thought I’d share honey ! Be blessed and favored always 🙏🏽❤️
There was SO MUCH going on in the last year for you folks, it's probably best you weren't pregnant. Now you are in your new home and you're healthy. God's will be done. We all hope your hearts desire comes true.
Well guys LOOK at the stress you have been through in the last 3 years! Now you can settle and relax and be in HOME im sure things will be fine.... Either way.
Just remember if you are ever need to take prescription medication, supplements can cause reactions.
And he should absolutely get checked. Fair is fair for one thing. And it could find possible underlying issues.
First of all, I’ll never think of a sticky note the same again 🤣😂
Second, Zack, please get checked out. Your health is just as important to fertility and you may be strong as an ox, you are still vulnerable and need to check out what’s up. This may be the thing that sends you to a doctor to find something early and treatable. If you’re getting regular check ups, cool. But if not, this could be your body telling you to check it out. Hope you’ll are well and Happy New Year.
New house, new baby! Let’s hope!
I definitely get why, and it doesn't need to be a fertility check. But he definitely SHOULD have a general preventative Healthcare exam just to head off things should they be developing. That said, when hubby and I were ready to plan one, we used ovulation test kits to help our timing out. Just an "just in case" help things out a little should you choose to do so. I had far more of the opposite issue in trying to prevent them, and we were very blessed inspite of our efforts. If I could bottle it, I'd happily send it to anyone who wanted it. ❤
Thank you so much for sharing your journey with this deeply personal aspect of your lives. I wish you all the happiness, fulfillment and little feet 👣 that your hearts can handle. Love y'all. 💕
I am so glad to hear that all of Jen's blood work came back good. You two know what is best for you. You are both doing good things. It is in God's hands. You guys are such a blessing to so many. You all stay safe and well. God Bless Y'all.
Thank you guys for sharing your journey with us 💖 Charity was a miracle baby and I had to have a hysterectomy young, so I am praying for y'all 💖
Praying for you both! I just had my second child, and I was in your boat and wanted a second child, but was unable to till just now. Our kids 4 years apart. You have two beautiful children, and praying for more for you!
Keep checking on your thyroid. The range of "normal" is not necessarily accurate. Even a tiny bit high can interfere with getting pregnant and maintaining a pregnancy. I'm a nurse and I have thyroid issues. Ask your doctor to check for thyroid peroxidase antibodies which could be related to an autoimmune disorder called Hashimotos
Yes and thyroid can cause weight issues as my sister is dealing with this and hers is barely off. Also caused fertility issues
Exactly this. My TSH was allllllways “normal”. It wasn’t until I kept asking and asking because I knew something wasn’t right. Finally I was talking to my gyno during my yearly exam and she said let’s run you a full thyroid panel. Bam... Hashimotos.
Jen I am so proud of you for getting checked out! I understand about C-sections.
Zach a fertility test for a man is way easier for you than what Jen had to do and I know you love her. At the very least it would ease her mind and give you and Jen a path for supplements on your side of things. God will bless you even more for stepping up to the cup and showing her you are ok it is only fair.
So glad that you are healthy and praying God continues to lead you in peace 💓
The liver heals extremely fast as long as damage is found and reversed quickly. Like I said I lost weight right before I got pregnant and I'm 14weeks 5days with our rainbow baby. The 3rd marked a year ago our sons heart stopped at 15 weeks along. We had tried for 3 and a half years to have him. This babies heartbeat was 158 yesterday at my check up 🥰. I pray y'all are blessed with a baby soon!!!
Hi to you both, hope everything works out for you Jen, you are such a lovely couple
I love how open you both are! Also, Zack is a great story teller! I look forward to watching you.
Glad your checkup went well. I actually have a Chaste(Vitex) tree in my backyard. It was given as a seedling. They call it The Womans tree. I was given Thyroid meds as a young adult & lost weight & felt great so I stopped taking it. I didn’t know I was supposed to take it forever!🤣 No I don’t take it now either. You two are blessed with the amount of love, understanding & respect you show each other. I pray God continues to bless your family. 🙏🥰👩🌾🙋♀️
Have you tried taking ovulation tests? I couldn't get pregnant until I took one. Come to find out I was a late ovulater and kept missing the window.
Sending some extra Prayers for you and Baby "Too-be". This is how my sister referred to her son before he was born. So Praying you have a future little "Too-be" addition to your loving home. I love the realness of your channel. Be well, have a nice weekend 😊
Glad to hear Jenn is okay! 3 years ago my liver numbers were high, had my gall bladder out, and my liver numbers were back to normal, no issues. Sounds to me you liver numbers were high due to your gall bladder. Once the gall bladder was removed the liver numbers went back to normal.
Y'all are on a great path! I also researched my toiletries and laundry soaps and cleaners and things like candles and air freshener.... Was surprised at the toxic load. I have been symptom free from endomitriosis for several years even tho Dr said it wasn't possible!
You got this!
Did you just have a TSH level done or did your doctor do a thyroid panel done? I have dealt with lots of thyroid issues for about 30 years. A low TSH level can point to other thyroid issues. I’m hoping for you all goes well but you may want to pursue further thyroid testing if you continue to have issues.
My fire cider will be ready next week! I started making the elderberry syrup last week and loving it! Glad y'all are healthy and waiting on God to make his move now...❤️
Zack, pull up those boot straps and handle the business bro, better safe than sorry
You two are Awesome!! God Bless you and your family.....it will happen when you least expect it❤️❤️
I have not been subscribed for a very long time but in the time that I have been you two have both been through so much! I totally agree that there is much that can be done to improve health in many ways but I have to share! Our niece and her husband had been trying for 4 years to get pregnant. Low and behold they came to the point of considering adoption and guess what happened...she got pregnant. They now have 2 beautiful children! I love watching the two of you and your precious family. May God bless your life abundantly.
Praying for you both! So glad you are good!
My daughter tried for 8 years to get pregnant. Diagnosis unexplained infertility. She now has a 2 year old and is pregnant now. She did see massage therapist weekly. Vitamins etc.
I am 63 years old and I just retired from over 30 years of healthcare service. I used to tell all the young nurses please take care of your health now, because the older you get the harder it becomes . I've always had a garden I've always had chickens and I've always tried to approach my health in a more holistic way first. And I truly believe that as a society we are moving more towards that. I'm so very proud of you working as a team to get this figured out. You are always in our prayers and expecting an amazing report.
I’m so happy for you both. Knowing will take the self- stress off that we as women will put onto ourselves. I too have gone through the gall bladder stages and always appreciate learning new information regarding self care. Thank you both for sharing.
Praying that all goes well! Love you guys!
Happy it
Went well
i think he should get checked out as well, just to cover all bases and go through any testing needed or recommended.
Glad you went for sure! My thyroid got messed up from cancer treatment years ago, and I've been on medicine for it ever since. I hate it, and wish I didn't have to, but mine was bad enough it became necessary.
Glad everything went well!
Doing the happy & healthy dance for you!!👏👏👏 Apple beet juice is a wonderful liver rejuvenation combo, my husband unfortunately takes a handful of meds everyday and this has done wonders for his liver. Praying for happy energetic little swimmers for your future!!
I found that I always got pregnant when I wasn't trying. Needless to say I am blessed with 5 kids.
I have Hashimoto's Jen, and take a high dose of medicine. I am fundamentally opposed to medication, but opted for the synthetic thyroid hormone due to the serious symptoms that can be associated with Hashimoto's. Some people can be borderline, and supplements/habit changes can help, but don't be afraid to take the medicine if you need it. Wishing you the best and sending love :)
Sounds good....u all will b fine!
I'm glad that Jen got a great bill of health. I'm on prescriptions. I have my Father's family's heart issues. I have my Mother's family's depression and nervousness and arthritis. After a throat surgery, my thyroid was effected. So, unfortunately, I have to take prescriptions. Now,they are running cancer tests because of a shadow in a lung. ( yes, I'm a smoker, just like Daddy was). So far every biopsy has come back with all dead tissue and cell samples. So, I've been asked to do one more. I find out on the 18th what we will do next. God Bless
Praying 🙏to the fertility gods for yall! From Montgomery al
Did they check for thyroid antibodies also???? IF not I would since you said the TSH was a little off....
I had many miscarriages and a tubular pregnancy, but I ended up with 5 children 3 boys, then a girl, and then another boy. They are now in their 40’s and 30’s. 2 Corrections Officers, a Carpenter, a Respiratory Therapist, and a Chef! Yes I’m a Proud Mama! 💕 when it’s meant to be, it will happen.
So glad that you are healthy! Praying that the thyroid issue is straightened out with what you are doing!
I had gained over 100 before I found out my thyroid was off. It affects so much! I've been on meds almost 15 years now. Prayers for your family.
Zach does need to get checked having 2 kids is no guarantee. My husband had to get checked and it is a lot simpler process for men than for women. My husband comes from a huge family no history of issues and it turned out that he had issues. Our story is not a simple one as we both have issues and our chances are slim to none.
Glad to hear there is nothing wrong with Jen. If Zac's swimmers are low there is medication to give your swimmers a boost my ex hubby at the time I was going through fertility treatment he was given a boost . Good luck in trying
I have to tell you that I'm now 66yrs old, but years ago we suffered with infertility, too. For nearly 3 yrs, we tried. And we took whatever was prescribed by my ob dr. My mother kept telling me that I needed to be around babies, that it does something to a woman's system. We had decided to give up and thank God for the one healthy child we already had. I started helping a friend with her child a few days a week, and it was a good time. But I started sleeping so much that I had to give him up. I was sleeping nearly 20 out of 24 hrs a day. So, I went to the dr, and I was pregnant! I couldn't believe it, but when we decided to just stop trying, it happened. So, I just wanted you to know my story, and let you know it does happen. In fact, 26 mos later, we had another one. God works in mysterious ways!! I love watching you guys! God bless!!
You should consider a thyroid antibody test. My thyroid levels were fine, but I found I have Hashimotos that affects your thyroid.
That’s great news Jen!!! 🤣 now it’s your turn dad! ❤️ Kristy in Missouri 😃🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸.
I don't have a gallbladder either, so I totally understand!! I never realized how much I would miss it until it is gone.
2020 was a massively stressful and busy year for y'all, as long as you are healthy I think you are wise to just take some time to settle in to your life and see what the future brings! 🥰
I'm so happy for y'all that you got such great results. And I'm jealous. I have alot of medical issues and completely depend on alot of medications.
A friend of ours started eating keto and within 2 months she was pregnant. They had tried for 15 years! It may be worth a try. Hugs!
Yay to the news of good health, Jenn!! Advice for Zak: Go to a doctor for a general physical anyway. It can't hurt, and you're overdue. You can then explain to the doctor any concerns you may have about conception. They should at least have a bit of advice. If not, they will have a referral to another doctor that will surely be able to answer any questions you may have about it. Your overall health is most important, and you should start there. If y'all want to go REALLY weird, look into getting a Kokopelli statue of sorts (from Mexico or another authentic place). A family we know bought a Kokopelli wall art piece while vacationing in Mexico some years ago. They bought it because it looked "cool". They knew nothing at all about any cultural or other meaning behind it. They hung it in their living room immediately upon returning home. The end result was 3 kids in 3 years. They were not ready for kids when they got the art piece. They got pregnant immediately. Sadly, they chose to "not go through with" the 3 - 5 (or more) pregnancies that came after initially hanging the art piece. It seemed they couldn't STOP getting pregnant. A year passed. They finally learned of the "legend" of the Kokopelli in their home and were stunned to find it linked to ancient fertility. The choice was then made to actually go through with the next pregnancy (and the two after). Super strange, but true! Either way, when it's time, it's time. Good luck y'all! We love and pray for you, always! 🕊🙏❤
Jen, Zack, don't forget what Yah way says, thou shalt have no other God's before me. Take this to the Lord, not an idol of any kind.
So glad every thing is fine!!❤❤
I was in the recliner with a dog asleep on my lap so when the current video ended this one came up, and I have a couple of thoughts. You talked about thyroid, and I just watched a video on Rain Country about both of them getting off prescription thyroid meds after being on them for something like 15 years - might be worth checking out. Second, you showed the liver beef, and on Three Rivers Homestead she freeze dries beef liver & powders it, and while she's been pregnant (she can't stand liver when she's pregnant) she's been encapsulating the liver powder - if you wanted to keep taking something without having to continue paying for it.
Awesome news! 😊❤️❤️
😊👍
I just love you guys! 💕 Crystal
Wishing you pregnancy news soon ... for you and your beautiful family. Great news regarding your health!
I don't know if you'll even get this message but I saw this video the other day and this woman had tried to conceive for years. She finally went to a chiropractor and he helped her get inline to where she could conceive. Very happy story!
I encourage you to get all your check ups each year.
Hi Jen, I met your Mom Grammie Karen on another channel. Nice Momma 😃❤️
Jen, don't give up. Took my husband and I 5 years to conceive our youngest, and we lost a baby along the way. It's truly in God's time. We both believed, and knew in our hearts our family wasn't complete, and we were blessed with the greatest news in 2016. It's a trying journey, and I'm praying for you guys.
