Your face when cooking/eating the salmon 😭😭 so relatable
Think about how great it is that you followed your instinct to get fertility help so soon. Many people start trying to conceived much later, and then maybe that would've been too late for you. I have faith that it's gonna work out for you at some point
Thanks for sharing your journey with us regarding fertility. You’ve made me see things in a different way. Thanks for sharing this subject with us.
Thanks for watching! :)
Thank you for sharing this vulnerable update with us. Would love to hear what the nutritionist said during your appointment (if you’ve had it already) and any changes she suggested. Perhaps in the next video? I know lifestyle changes can be so hard but I do think they can really help!
Will do! i havent had the apt yet
If your sweet baby is made late February then you will have a November Sagittarius ♐️ 🫶🏼 the best like me!!! Hang in there girl you’re doing so great!!! Bomb after bomb and you persevere. Praying for you guys 🙏🏼
Blender bottle lids are easier to close the cap tightly if you do just the cap before you put it on the cup.
I’m so sorry you have to go through all of this. I do think it’s so helpful for others going through similar experiences to be more educated on this topic as well as know they’re not alone. Rooting for you guys ❤
Hi Rachel - just wanted to chime in and say dont be too worried about the nutritionist. I also thought i ate fairly healthy and my nutritionist taught me SO much about how WE have control of our egg quality and even endometriosis. Our diet has a lot to do with how our bodies react. He taught me so much about inflammatory foods and how they cause and inflame endo. I feel 100x better than i used to and cant believe i used to live the way i did. Dont get me wrong, i had to make big lifestyle changes but it changed me for the better and believe if i didnt struggle TTC i would have never come across this new path of life. It even taught me so much about how our wonderful Creator made food to heal our bodies and how man sadly ruined/disguised so much of what we consider "healthy" food. Embrace it best you can. I am type A too so it made me extremely anxious at first but i am so glad i did it.
Egg quality cannot be changed unfortunately. This is due to us being born with all our eggs they don’t regenerate therefore the quality can’t be changed. I was told this at my consultation. We can however create a healthier body for pregnancy. I wish all those trying to conceive sticky baby dust ✨ I hope you all get your dream come true xo
@sammisambuca you are correct in saying we are born with all our eggs, but we can 100% change the quality of our eggs (for good or bad). It takes 90 days for our eggs to develop and how you eat and toxins you surround yourself with effect that. I have talked to a few fertility Dr's and other fertility experts and nutritionists regarding this who all agreed. There is a public fertility Dr you can reference on here called Dr. Marc Sklar. He is a well know fertility Dr that speaks about this. I joined his Hope Program which has also been very helpful!
@@sammisambuca sorry have to retag you
That little bit about your husband razzing you over the trash on the counter and putting the lid on the protein powder funky is 100% my husband and I 🤣❤
I feel like your husband is never happy in the vlogs🙉 or he’s just sassy 24/7 😅
He puts on a show for the camera 😭
I loved this one. Hilarious. 60 is not cold, lol. I usually have to push myself to make/cook supper. That salmon 🍣 is huge. Love your sweatshirts & pretty nails. God can heal the egg quality & other issues. Keep praying & believing. ❤ The supper looked yummy. I wish my husband would declutter.
I am loving this background classic music hahaha
Take A Good Care of Urself, God Bless U, Rachel !!
I'm praying for you today Rachel. I understand that feeling of "it's one thing after another!" I sent a message on Instagram that got cut off so I sent it again on TikTok ♥
Wishing you well for the transfer in February! 😊 Don’t stress yourself about the whys of the eggs. No point. Besides, 35 is still so young!
I agree with your doctor on the endometriosis. Why cut you open to potentially cause more problems. Some things are better left alone.
Enjoy the Christmas season! 🎄
I have so much faith 💕 it will work out
"The doctor was so disappointed because I am 26 and I have the eggs of a 35 year old." ...as a 35 year old... Ouch! 😅
not sure what to say here, it was very sad news for me. Imagine being 35 and being told you have the eggs of a 44 year old
Same lol 😂😂😂
36 almost 37 here & 😂😂😂😂 when everyone tells you “you’re still young” & should have a baby. good thing I don’t want any kiddos but I really really hope it works out for her, I see how bad she wants it.
She wouldn't be disappointed with this news if she was 35. I am 33 and anything more than 33 would be disappointing for me also.
Did he say how he determines the egg quality?
18 days to go before Christmas!
cant wait!!!
Hi Rachel! Happy Thursday!
❤
gooood morning
Hey Rachel! We’re also on our TTC journey. Have you read “It starts with the egg” by Rebecca Fett? I’m just reading it now and there’s a lot of interesting information that is backed by scientific evidence and apparently has been a big help for women going through IVF! If you have read it I’d love to know what you think about it! Wishing you all the best with your embryo transfer!! 🙏🏼
I was literally going to comment this. I encourage you as well to read this book if you haven't already
Good morning Rachel happy Thursday morning and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter
Love seeing you get your nails done!! 💅 ❤
Hi Rachel, just a thought, as I went through the same as you and still in the process, why don't you get a second opinion about your endo.
My first dr who is amazing didn't pick up or want to handle endo then I found a new dr & she's incredible, she saw & found things in the first session and my endo was stage 4 and HAD to be removed. What ever your heart feels but just thought id mention. Sending you prayers! ❤
A porch is like a small deck, lifted off the ground attached to the house. You have a patio, a patch of cement behind your house.
thank you!!
Sorry I’m with AJ on this. My husband also leaves stuff like that instead of throwing out and it drives me crazy 😂
Hi Rachel! Another perspective on the stims (spelling?)… pregnancy/having a baby is such a long journey, the 40 weeks of growing the baby is just really the beginning of it! If you’re interested in breastfeeding or pumping, thats an additional months or year that people try to get to. After having my first I was so shocked at how long it realllllly takes to get your body back (not in a vanity/physique way but as in hormones, what you can eat while breastfeeding, etc.) I’d ask your doctor the time frame of how quickly after birth you can go through another round, how it affects breastfeeding etc. Wishing you and AJ all the best!
Your’s and AJ’s interactions together are hilarious. What a great marriage 😊🩷
hehe thank you!!
Hey Rachel.. I recommend reading the book (It Starts with the egg)
Thanks for sharing your journey. If possible, can you please share contact information of the fertility lifestyle and nutritionist couch. I am having similar issues, so I am wondering if I can schedule online consultation. Thanks a lot!
The garbage is RIGHT HERE
i cant see it
Some of the comments here…seriously! Naturally it is 1) distressing if someone says your egg quality is suboptimal and 2) fantastic for those moms out there that can conceive at a later age in life BUT decreasing egg quality with age is not something to ignore, statistically speaking it makes no sense to say ‘if I can conceive with these odds, you can too’. Anyway, a rant to support Rachel and say: fantastic that you explore all of your options, you tackle this situation in both a rational and emotional way which shows a great deal of maturity ❤.
i love you for this
Hi! I feel super crunchy to write you but we are basically on the same timeline for FET at IVFMD Cooper City. Just wanted to send you a little shout out. I feel your pain… I got married this year just 2 months shy of 40 years old so my eggs are hanging in there lol. We got similar results as you from the Stims and egg retrieval it sounds like and we are going with transfer probably Feb also 🥵doing my best to focus on weight loss and eating well and working out more to keep myself distracted like you. Good luck!!! I love your posts… Here we go! I will add a little prayer for you during my conversations with God! 🥰
I’m really interested to see what the nutritionist says. Hope you can share in future videos that content. One of the best things anyone can do is to cut the dairy (which is super inflammatory) down. That would help with endometriosis. Dairy has a lot of hormones which messes with our human hormones. High consumption of dairy puts the body in an acidic state and wears things down such as our organs and bones. Incorporate more alkaline foods like oatmeal and fruits for breakfast, salad chickpeas and fruit for lunch, veggie bowl no cheese or sour cream from chipotle for dinner . I also think the beauty products many women use today are messing with our hormones. I think you are very brave to share this personal information with the world. I think your platform does educate and support many women. I’m learning a lot by watching your videos and I appreciate you’re content. You definitely put out great content and I hope you continue to be successful on TH-cam❤
I am so glad you and AJ trusted your gut feeling and did IVF - even though the news wasn’t amazing, clearly it shows you made a good choice. Always thinking of you two on this journey and wishing you both the best ❤
the sad montage of salmon cooking and eating 😆
wishing you guys the best in this next phase 🤍
Praying for you, thank you for the update! I can’t remember if you’ve read it but the book “It Starts With The Egg” is a really excellent science based resource for improving egg quality if you do another stim and I found it helpful in our fertility journey ❤
Eating and making the salmon 🍣 😂😂 sooo dramatic and with the music too! I love you!!
Hehe
Ugh! What disappointing news that must be about your embryos. I absolutely understand, my husband and I are in the exact position you are with our quality and the count of embryos to the size family we want. It's absolutely devastating and you are handling it with such grace!
You are clearly the most educated and competent in your own fertility journey, so I apologize if my post is upsetting or overstepping. But if you have not already done so, I would highly recommend looking into endocrine disruptors and do your best to eliminate them all from your lifestyle (including cleaning products, makeup/skin care, fabrics, plastics etc). This may not 'cure' endometriosis but it can't hurt for your overall hormonal system and fertility. Just more information for you to keep making informed decisions.
Would love to hear the feedback on what habits and lifestyle changes were recommended for improved egg quality! Good luck in your journey. I’m starting the process with IVF now and I’m scared but I know it will be worth it💛
It's nice you have more answers now about why TTC naturally wasn't working. It still sucks to hear you have egg quality issues.
Hi Rachel, Does AJ like his software engineer program? Will this be his second degree? Is his classes hard? And How does he juggle work and school at the same time?😅 How long does he have left in his program?
Still keeping you in my thoughts and prayers…😊
Thank you🩵
I’m glad you had all the information needed during the ivf appointment.
I also got gel x for the first time during thanksgiving, got used of them really quick and they looking cute ❤️ good to take care of yourself. You have 2 jobs and a whole home and husband to take care of, you deserved it! Have a great rest of the week ☀️🎄
thank you so much!!
IVF mama here and the journey is such a rollercoaster. It’s just wild how it can be so exciting and so disappointing all with days/weeks.
It sounds like your doc is crossing all the t’s and dotting all the i’s with the extra testing. Ultimately everything is going to happen according to God’s plan but it’s still nice to try to go into it with as much info as possible.
Hugs, God’s got you 💛
60 degrees is warm for us here in Canada! hahahahaha We wish we had that temp for the winter :P
Just know if its god will, it will happen! 🙏❤
Thanks for your honesty and openness in your videos. They’re relatable, and it’s appreciated❤
Sending you all the love you need❤
You're so strong, Rachel! Sending good thoughts your way
60 degrees is not cold 😆. I'm from New Hampshire and that sounds amazing to me
Love an Anna appearance!
I am sending you so many prayers! God is truly a miracle worker and I'm believing with you for a positive outcome on your fertility journey! I know others with Endo have shared this before but I wanted to chime in briefly. I agree with the fertility specialist in that removing the endometrioma can cause diminished egg reserve - I've heard this explained to me from my doctors as well. I thing the concerning factor is that endometriomas are highly linked to Endo and sometimes severe endo. What the fertility specialist cannot see, is where the endo lesions are growing and how deep into those organs they are growing. And if you do have endo, those lesions growing in other places can be causing your infertility and in that regard, they would def need to be removed/excised. I got the Laparoscopy Excision surgery done on March 2nd and was formally diagnosed with Endo after years of infertility. I had endo on my bowels, the walls of my stomach, and my rectum. A month after the surgery is when we got our 1st positive pregnancy test. The thing about Endo is that it cannot be seen on MRI's, Ultrasounds, or anything else. Which is why they may see "hints" of it (ie. an endometrioma) and give you a clinical diagnosis or a suspected diagnosis. Surgery is the only way that they can see if you have lesions, how many lesions, where they've grown, and how deep into your organs they've grown. So it is a bit concerning that a fertility specialist who sees Endometriomas (clear hints) tell you that surgery is not recommended. Surgery for a lot of women with Endo is what preserves fertility because they're able to go in and remove as much as possible before it continues to grow so deep into your organs to the point where they can no longer save them. There's a big difference between a fertility specialist and an endo specialist. I see both. I would highly recommend getting a medical opinion from an Endometriosis Specialist. These were all things I wish so badly somone would've told me years ago and I just wanted to share with you. Again, I am praying deeply for you. I can't wait to see the good news of your baby on the way, I know it will happen for you both!!
Awe Rachel I’m so sorry! You are doing your best! Remember Hannah she so wanted a baby and prayed and God blessed her! You have huge faith too and it will happen! Keeping you in my prayers!🙏🏻💜💕💗🌷
When Rachel uploads, it makes my day ❤
the dramatic music😂😂
im so over everything lol
Yep, I have to side with AJ on that one! Super gross leaving trash like that LOL
Keep praying have faith God knows
Sending prayers for a successful egg transfer, focus on what is in your control (rest, health, nutrition) to best prepare your body for pregnancy. Leave rest to God! You will be a mama and AJ a dad!
For me, patio is a concrete slab, deck is a wooden deck in the back yard, porch is in the front of the house if it's big enough to put a rocking chair on, can be concrete or wood
Keep your faith! Rely on God and know I’m praying for you! You are brave and strong!
Also AJ sounds like me to my husband. He can never throw things away
Lovely Rachel 😊😅🎉🎉😂❤
Lol my bf is the same way with the closing of things all the way. I always for some reason leave my closet door open a few inches, and he always closes it after me and says "I just don't understand..... close it all the way!"
Rachel, I’m sorry but removing the endometrioma doesn’t affect egg quality if you have a good doctor who specializes in excision…
are you a doctor?
It’s just unfortunate you’re being misinformed for money. Wish you the best of luck moving forward.
Im sending positive vibes and baby dust. Praying for you. It must have been difficult to talk about this. Also Gods timing is the best and February might be it and you will be pregnant. ❤
My husband & I enjoy watching your videos. Thank you for being who you are and thank you for sharing your journey with us all ❤
In God’s perfect timing we will see a baby on the vlogs❤❤
$100 for Gel X ??!! yikes. Its cheaper just to do acrylic and just refill it every 2 weeks
i feel like i got punked
Rachel. My husband and I are going to be starting IVF in January. Something that I have stressed to myself to remember is that everyone is different and is going to have different outcomes. Mostly things that you cannot change. Please don't get done on yourself!
Cooking and cleaning it up is awful when you don’t feel like it! Try foil packet cooking, esp with salmon! Makes it easier
Thanks for the tip!
As maiores felicidades da vida minha querida ❤ és benção mais perfeita
Just out of curiosity, bc I don’t think I’ve heard you mention it…was there any consideration for transferring more than one embryo at once?
They don’t do that anymore because the success rates with singletons is so high now!
i'll take whatever walks i can get
Thank you so much for sharing 🙏🙌
I love the unhinged vibe lol.
I've had GelX for so long and the major pro is that they last a long time so if you're impatient and hate sitting in the chair, you only have to go once every 5 weeks so it ends up less of a time commitment, and fills do cost less so it should only be around ~$60 in the future. You're not supposed to get it done when pregnant though so if that is something that is happening soon then switching to dip powder or something that doesn't involve the UV light is a lot better.
my lady said she cant fill in the gelx unless we do builder gel, do you agree? im so lost haha
@@RachelVinn everyone calls it different things so my nail place may be doing builder gel and just calling it GelX 😅
LOL
Do they also worry about egg count or just quality? Have you checked your AMH?
Yes to both but my AMH was 5.1
I am ignorant on AMH but I took a quick look at google and it did not seem too bad at all! Anyways I hope you can improve your egg quality, I had a few chemicals between my first and second successful pregnancies and there was a lot of supplements that helped + a vaccine and birth control homeopathic detox. There is always things you can do to work on that egg quality. Hope you won’t need to retrieve eggs again tho.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
I'm sorry about your frustrating results. A book that I have found helpful when it comes to learning about how to improve egg quality is called It Starts with the Egg. All the best to you and AJ
Yoga helps with egg quality and fertility in general.
❤❤❤❤
🙂✌
Love the new nails!!
thanks love!!
I wouldn't be too too worried about details like egg age...im 41...never planned on having children and got pregnant on the one and only time we weren't careful...the chances of getting pregnant was like less than 1%....if its meant to be its meant to be...you will have your beautiful babies of that im certain ❤
Rachel, the reason doesn’t have to be only physical. It can also be on a sub-conscious level… Maybe somewhere within you or around you, the idea of pregnancy has been suppressed or resisted. Maybe unconsciously you carry some sort of fear of being a biological mother to a child. It could also be a generational or ancestral fear that is just showing up now in your life…. Dig deeper within yourself and see if there is any fear or some past thing that needs to resolved around motherhood. So much love, keep the faith and always remember if it’s happening this way, then most likely it is for your best 🙏🏻💖
She would never admit anything like that. She would most likely say it wasn't in God's plan
Rach say something about palestine im hoping ud say something
Yes why? There's plenty of news channels for that...
The fact that she always up to date with materials stuff and not serious world stuff shows how boring she really is and only cares about her life making money out of it only and only period. Thats her only value and focus on. Nothing else. Thats quite boring I thought ure more than that rachel
I have severe endometriosis but I was able to have a child through IVF. Praying it will be successful for you! We're trying for another but it hasn't been going well... Hoping things would turn for the better next year
Hi Rachel, thanks for sharing your journey with us. I know its not an easy thing to do and im very thankful for your courage and strength while going through this in real time. 🩵
