Hello everyone! Thank you to those who have sent prayers and well wishes to Damion and I. We sincerely appreciate and receive it, and we also understand that everything is in God’s time but that doesn’t mean our feelings are invalid during the season of waiting. It can bring a lot of stress/depression and questions. We know that in the end God is in control but we are HUMAN and God knows that as well. I do want to make a note to others: This has been an almost 3 year journey...meaning we have been in this journey for a LONG time. Statements like: 1) consider a surrogate 2) just enjoy doing the deed 3) just relax/you’re stressing too much 4) you’re young/there is time 5) the birth control is why you’re infertile 6) etc are NOT HELPFUL As I tried to make obvious in the video. Trust me when i say we know all of that and have tried all of that. That’s what makes this process so hard when you do those things and it still doesn’t work. There is a reason we decided to share our story on our time because these comments aren’t helpful or encouraging. Also, before anyone starts making suggestions about what we should do or what anyone else should do especially medical suggestions please wait until you know the whole story. If you watched this whole video, you’ll know that this story is to be continued, again this has been almost 3 years of a journey and this video on showed the first year (which was pretty rough for me mentally) Either way, I hope those of you that are finding comfort in this video know that you are NOT ALONE. I SEE YOU. I FEEL YOU. I UNDERSTAND YOU. AND DONT LET ANYONE INVALIDATE YOUR FEELINGS OR YOUR PROCESS THROUGH SUCH A DIFFICULT JOURNEY. I LOVE YOU 💕
Hi Sydel I think you and your husband are a beautiful couple and will have the most beautiful, healthy blessed babies . Please do not take this the wrong way but you can take Maca root ( a natural herb for promoting fertility) along with Castor oil packs . We wish you all the best on your journey and one day you will look back at these moments and smile , stay blessed .
Blessings and prayers to you and your husband. Thank you for sharing your journey. Hearing your pain in your voice brought me back to my own journey. I’ve been married since 2017 and haven’t been able to conceive. I had an ectopic pregnancy December 2017 and had emergency surgery. I went through major depression and eventually joined a support group and went to therapy. My mental health was not good and I was in a dark place. My husband could only do so much and It was destroying him to see how much pain I was in. As of today, we haven’t been able to conceive but I’m staying positive. We would love to explore other options but those options are costly even with insurance. I know God will make a way even if it’s fostering, adoption or surrogacy. I just wanted to send love your way and I pray God hears your heart and answer your prayers.
Y'all gonna be straight. Just takes more trying. Just don't pump your full of fertility drugs, that's gonna set yall back further and mess up the biological time clock.
And this is exactly why u don't keep asking people "when are you having a baby". Just mind your business. Sending positive vibes your way Sydel and Damion!
Thank you for expressing this. You expressed it in a way that wasn’t mean. I’m 38 and divorced and ppl keep asking me when am I going to get married again and then tell me to hurry up and have a baby because I’m old and my eggs are old. It’s hard to hear.
Don’t give up Baby Girl! After 3 miscarriages; the pain and stress of it all made me just give up. I made peace with everything, relaxed and literally let Go and let God. THEN!!!!!! Maybe a year and a half later (at the age of 45)........I gave birth to my first and Only Son... Don’t Give up! Relax and Wait on Gods timing. Trust me, God’s Timing is the absolute Best Timing❤️
This gives me hope.. I have a 23 year old son but I got married and I want to have a child with my husband... We've been together seven years and I'm in my 40s..not sure if it will happen but this is encouraging... God bless u and your son ❤️
Sydel I hope you see this comment...my wife and I were literally trying for almost 10 years...close to adopting etc...and then BAM!! It just happened and we have a 10 month old going crazy right now. DONT GIVE UP!
Thanks you for being so TransPARENT and sharing your journey with us. I remember when I was 25 and they doctor told me that I had thyroid cancer and I would never have kids. God had a different plan for and that was 25 yrs ago. I had my daughter @ 39 and my son at 41. I'm 51 was an Amazing husband and family. I know its hard God has so many blessings for you and YOUR husband... please walk in faith and just know that a blessing is coming ❤
Thank you so much for sharing your journey. I’m glad that you are doing well and were able to have your children. It’s good to see that there are people out there who had children in their 40s. That will be the case for me, but it’s so frustrating when people assume that people need to hurry up while they are in their 30s like it’s the end of the world. 😔
Dear god, please give these beautiful people the gift of being parents. I’m 13 but have a huge family. I will pray for you everyday. I love you guys. ❤️🥺
I went through 5 rounds of IVF and lost 2 children before we had our miracle baby who will be 4 in August. Infertility is a lonely, emotional roller coaster. All I will say is I will continue to pray for you and when it does happen, it will all be worth it. Every shot, every appointment, every tear, every disappointment will be all worth it. That I can promise you.
This hits home for me. I struggled and am still struggling with infertility and PCOS. It took us 8 years to have our son. The depression is so real, the desperation, the isolation, it is the most crushing pain and feeling of inadequacy. I know, I know what you are feeling. I am so sorry. No one deserves this level of pain. I will have you in my prayers. I am a huge advocate of allowing ourselves to feel what we are feeling. It’s a rollercoaster of emotions and constant survival mode. But truly the Lord is with the broken-hearted and he will sustain you. Sending you a huge hug and thank you for sharing this, it takes such bravery.
First off, your transparency is astounding. You are so strong Sydel. One thing I know is that God is right there with you even when it doesn't feel like it. He sees you and He knows your hearts desires. Trust in the Lord with all you heart and lean not on your own understanding. Keep trusting Him. Praying for you and Damion deeply!
Following your journey you have become my little cousin in my head. I am praying for you and Damion. My 6 year old sat beside me and watched this video and she said out loud "She needs to wait. God is going to give her a baby" . She's so wise and when speaks things. It comes to past. You're transparency is impacting the lives of others in ways you may never know!
You’re so brave sharing your journey. My husband and I are about to be in our 4 year marriage and we’ve been trying since we got married. I truly feel your pain and it’s emotionally hard to hear the people that’s close to you getting pregnant. Sydel, don’t give up and don’t DO it just to get pregnant; I suggest to stop trying, enjoy your marriage and when you least expect it, you’re pregnant. That is what I tell myself every single day. As hard as it sound, we just have to stay positive and trust in God’s timing.
Agreed! Stop the stressing and enjoy marriage it will come when least expect it. I'm 35 about to he first time mom, you have many reproductive years ahead.
This is why it is extremely important not to ask people about their baby journey. I know many people ask out of concern or just nosiness but you just never know what someone is going through. I am praying for you and Damion’s strength through all of this. As someone who struggles with mental health I know how hard this must be for you and I so wish I could give you a big ol hug. God’s got you love❤️❤️❤️❤️
There’s so many things that can be said, but I’ll say this much.....thank you, Sydel for your transparency. Thank you, for allowing the world into the innermost emotions behind you & your husband’s pregnancy journey. Thank you, for being courageous enough to expose your vulnerability with us. Thank you, for bringing awareness of some things that transpires throughout the course of trying to get pregnant. I needed to see/hear this, she needed to see/hear this, we needed to see/hear this! My God continue to order the steps of you & your husband & may the timing of the pregnancy be right on time. You got this & God got y’all! Love, always 💜
I tried for 3 years hardcore! My doctors told me I had PCOS and it would difficult if at all possible to conceive . I was just like you, scared and worried. Completely consumed my life and thoughts because I wanted it so bad. After seeking medical help and paying crazy money to fertility specialist, I had no more hope. After 3 years I wouldn’t say I stopped trying but I definitely lighten up because I thought I just wasn’t able. I have 3 kids now!!! After my first pregnancy I easily got pregnant again and again. I don’t want to say don’t worry because it’s natural to do so. But I have to say it Sydel because I have been through this, Please please don’t stress yourself out keep a healthy mind and body for your baby because it’s coming.
I’m literally crying rn! Your time will come, you will be a mother and you will do amazing! You guys will be the best parents! Thank you for your transparency 👏🏽
I’m 7 years in and still trying. I’ve gone through all the emotions and given up thousands of times but the honest truth is there’s a part of me that still believes God will come through. No one can ever explain the journey of infertility and people have so many misconceptions. The only thing that sustains me to have the little hope I still have is my encouraging myself in God and trusting God that he has good plans for all of us
Only God gives children. Seek him through prayer and fasting in Jesus name. See what he say. Know God is Holy. It can be a 3 hour fast a day. You turning off everything. Just you and God's holy word. Just open his book. I encourage to seek the Lord. See what he say. Yes. God speaks.
@@kimberlyholt3658 you can only keep God first through Jesus christ. Jesus said no one cometh to the Father but by me. And Jesus christ gotta be your lord and savior for you to be able to keep God first. The flesh is weak. The spirit is willing.
@@dianaa3336 you can pay all the money you want to pay. Take every pill out there thinking that helps you have children. THEM DEVILS WILL TAKE ALL YOUR MONEY. AND FEED YOU A LIE. WON'T GIVE YOU A PENNY BACK. KNOW ONLY GOD GIVES CHILDREN. ONLY GOD GIVES LIFE. ONLY GOD. GOD THE CREATOR OF ALL HEAVEN AND EARTH. PEOPLE NEED TO READ THE WHOLE WORD OF GOD SO THEY CAN KNOW THAT. GOD GAVE SARAH A BABY AT 99. SAMSON MOTHER WAS OLDER WHEN SHE GAVE BIRTH. RACHEL JACOB WIFE WENT TO HER HUSBAND JACOB AND SAID GIVE ME CHILDREN LEST I DIE. JACOB PUT HER IN HER PLACE AND SAID ONLY GOD GIVES CHILDREN. DID NOT GOD TELL ADAM AND EVE GO BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLE IN THEE EARTH. GOD BLESSED EVE WOMB. I HAD MY YOUNGEST AT 44. HE IS HEALTHY AND STRONG. I WOULD LAY GOD'S WORD RIGHT ON MY BELLY BEFORE THEM DOCTOR'S. AND CRUSH EVERY CURSE IN THE NAME OF JESUS THEY WOULD TRY TO SAY. I KNOW BY GOD HIMSELF. ONLY GOD GIVES LIFE. AND ONLY GOD CAN GIVE YOU HEALTHY BABIES. I HAD MY SON FULL TERM. VAGINAL BIRTH. THANK YOU JESUS CHRIST THE HOPE OF GLORY. IM BELIEVING GOD FOR ONE MORE IN JESUS NAME. IM 49. I KNOW ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD. UNTO THEM THAT BELIEVE..
I definitely had that bitter feeling even towards people I didn’t know. My husband and I took a step back, went to therapy. Just focused on the positive in our relationship. 2020 was the year of bounding for us and at the beginning on 2021 I found out I was expecting. I 100% believe it was becoming mentally stronger to be able to receive this blessing!
Now, I understand completely why you were upset with people asking “when are you having a baby?”. Of course, it’s rude to ask that anyway, but now to know that’s something you’ve been trying to achieve for the absolute longest with no luck. Man, my heart and soul goes out to you and Damion, I always felt that good things happen to good people and I truly hope in part 2 you both get everything y’all want.
You are strong. You will be a mother. Take it from a new mom who also struggled with miscarriages and negative pregnancy tests. It's pain like I've never felt. But that pain will evolve to pure joy one day.
Your husband's support and love is so adorable and exemplary. You are so blessed to have that unconditional type of love. I wish you all the luck and blessing in your pregnancy journey my dear!
My partner and I have been trying for 8 years now. Being Polynesian and coming from big family, there is nothing I want more than to be a father and my partner is the same way. I can feel the pain and hurt in her voice in those clips. I mean we are happy but it's like we aren't living and it's like something is missing and constantly dangling that carrot in front and can't grab it. We trying IVF now so hopefully we can be blessed with some positive news soon. God bless all
This is very important for women to hear especially black women. Thank you for sharing your journey. Ots truly helpful. I love that we get both perspectives because people often forget that the husband goes through this as well. Blessings to you both!
Ikr. I sooo appreciate the transparency from both of them. You get a view from both male & female. No one really talks about this kind of stuff. Like her vulnerability is helping & educating so many!
Someone said, “your time will come,” and it will. God is a merciful God. May he bless your womb to be fruitful, your heart to carry the blessing and your spirit to dwell in your blessing. ❤️❤️
Said a special prayer for these two this morning. I looked at my twin boys (one is Autistic) and was overcome with gratitude in spite of the challenges that single parenting and autism brings. We can get so lost in selfishness.... Damian & Sydell.... you have prayer Warriors in Greensboro, NC
This breaks my heart. Your pain is obvious and I admire you for being transparent and sharing. It’s hard. Feel what you feel. I have witnessed God’s miraculous healing and mercies and I am praying for you both.
The mind is a powerful force and your mindset can play a huge part in not getting pregnant. If someone says just relax in a nonchalant manner most certainly is frustration. But in some cases, that’s just what you have to do. If it’s not happening and you’re planning and trying, the natural feelings and urges go out the window and it starts to feel like a chore. Relaxing and taking the stress out of the process can work miracles but everyone is different. Praying for you guys 🙏
Thank you for sharing your journey with us. My husband and i tried for the first 2 years of our marriage to get pregnant and then we went to a fertility dr who said it would be a miracle if we were had kids. Little did she know that god had other plans for us. Almost 8 years into our marriage we naturally got pregnant with our first son and 15 months later we got pregnant with our second son. Hang in there 🙏💓
Sydel, this must have been the hardest decision to share such a vulnerable part of your life so publicly...but I appreciate it so much as someone who can relate on this fertility journey with you. Lifting you two up in our prayers.
Sydel! We are twins..I am currently going through what you are! I feel like some people don’t understand this process and how hard it is mentally, emotionally..etc. Some days are just ughh. I’m praying for you and everyone who is going through the fertility process. We are going to have our babies..god is going to bless us 10x❤️❤️❤️Praying for the Lee’s!
I am a miracle baby, I was born after 13 years of marriage and trying 5 miscarriages and a stillborn. Funny fact: I was a twin. When my mom miscarried my twin, and they were going to clean her out.. there I was. I am now 26. God’s timing is impeccable. It was when my parents stopped trying that God intervened. Stay strong, stay encouraged. I am praying for you two. My mom is as well.
Thanks for being so transparent with your journey. It’s not easy to share something so personal. The fact that you are sharing this with the world speaks volumes about your character and your brand. You’ve always been a mental health adocate but this level of detail shows how truly dedicated you are around changing the narrative around mental health. You are not only helping others who are on the TTC journey but also others who are navigating through something that is not going as they planned. Thanks again for making such a tremendous difference. Sending all the positive vibes your way. ✨💫
its about gods timing! praying for you guys. my mom wanted one five years ago and now at 46 she had one!! its all about god’s timing!! you will see what he’s was preparing you for !
Thanks for sharing about your mom’s journey. I’m happy for her blessing. Your comment made me feel optimistic because I will be in my 40s when I try to conceive. ❤️
Theres a couple they were married like 7 years and the husband got frustrated with the wife like it was her fault... one day she went to the Mosque to talk to a Religious leader. He told her never give up and continue praying hard. God's timing is always the best timing. The same year God blessed her with a Baby Boy.
People are not always suffering from fertility issues, it's relaxing and stop working so hard and just enjoy your man. Please take the stress out of it.
My friend Tasha and her husband tried for YEARS to have a baby. She went through SO many treatments, shots, miscarriages, etc. And they were blessed with their beautiful baby a year ago. I know it's hard. As a person who wants to be a mother and has miscarried. But your feelings and struggles are validated. You have every right to feel this way. You are loved.
This is making me so emotional, seeing you cry. I don't know you but you seem like a sweet person who WILL make a great mother bc you WILL have a healthy baby.
Thank you for sharing, we have been TTC for over 10 years, it’s is only now that we have been given the green light to go with IVF. It is sooo hard, and I totally feel you every emotional roller coaster that TTC takes us through. The isolation from the “norm” the endless questions, the FOMO cos we are human after all, the doubt in your marriage and your partner and just a strain on the relationship , the silence we got from family after many years of being asked ‘when when when’ I have cried rivers and oceans behind closed doors, the feeling of inadequacy, the anger, because I thought I was the only one going through this. Thank you, for sharing your story and for allowing people like myself to have hope.
Sydel, thank you for sharing your journey with us. I would never devalue anyone’s experience, but as I watched your video, I could not help but think, just may be god’s purpose for your life is so much greater than just being a mom (nothing wrong with be a mom), just greater! Often times we put limitations on what we believe god’s purpose for our lives is and we stress and become consumed about the right now and he wants us to live, love, grow, mature and embrace the forever or the lifetime experience. What god has for you, is for you and no one else. He promised to give “you” the desires of “your heart” and I believe he will do that and so much more, but you have to trust him. I just believe if you focused on loving yourself, your husband, your marriage (and stop taking all those pregnancy tests) and just let the love flow naturally between the two of you the “children” will come. Yes, I know you shared other people around you are having babies, be happy for them, and just continue to trust god for your blessings (now and in the future). Keep the faith and tell doubt (self or any other kind) there is no vacancies here!
"Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." -Psalm 30:5 Thank you for your vulnerability and sharing your journey. This resonated with me. Praying for you and Damion. Sending love from Houston, Texas. 🙏❤
I pray your time to experience motherhood is sooner than later. I love your transparency. You are human, it’s ok to feel the way you feel. I pray for continuous positivity and joy in your life. Y’all will be blessed with a baby, we’re claiming it! Best wishes, love!
I’m praying for you Sydel and Damian. It WILL happen!! God will bless you with the most beautiful and healthy baby. Thank you for sharing your journey...it’s helping so many women who have the same struggles. 🙏🏾❤️
All kids deserve a good healthy loving home. This home Sydel and Damion Lee are establishing will be a blessing to children. From what I can tell, Sydel (beautiful name, original) comes from a loving home foundation. I am praying for them.
Your story had me in tears. Still in tears my husband and I are t through our own journey we did 2 unsuccessful IUI took a break and jumped right into IVF we did the retrieval process and yes I agree with you Menopur sucks it burns by far the worst one. We ended up with 7 embryos but after testing only got one normal embryo so that took me through a loop. We are in our transfer process of hopefully our Miracle baby. Thank you for sharing your story. I see you and I hear you and I'm praying for your miracle baby.
So glad I saw this on my youtube search. I've been following you on Instagram and this immediately caught my eye. Praying for you that God gives you a baby.
Sydel you are one of the strongest people for sharing your journey. This is by far my biggest fear and I am so sorry you are going through this. I definitely feel your pain and I am praying for you and Damion and hope that you both get exactly what you pray for!!! Thank you thank you thank you for sharing this......it means more than you know. Sending love and positive pregnancy vibes your way!
Thank you for your transparency and vulnerability in sharing your journey with us. I may not know you personally but I feel close to you from your videos and Instagram content. Praying that this desire comes to fruition for you and Damion. Sending you both so much love. Thank you both for sharing your story with us! ❤️
Adding you guys to my prayer list! May God be gracious and kind. 💗 My husband and are going through the same thing. I can definitely relate. I try not to think about it. In dreams, God has shown me our children. He’s even shown my friends and family our children in their dreams. I just had a woman at my Church tell me a week ago she had a dream. 😩 It’s extremely frustrating at times because I feel like you. I’ve cried, felt broken etc. I’ve taken so many tests, drank teas, took supplements etc. It’s hard to see people around experiencing what you’ve asked God for repeatedly. One thing God said to me was to honor the ones around me who are walking in the season I desire to be in. It’s a hard thing to do, but it’s a faith journey. Remain faithful to the journey through faith. I will believe God for you guys that your children will come just like I’m believing God for mine. Trust God! I keep Sarah, Rebekah, Leah, and Hannah (from the Bible) in mind. They experienced infertility before modern medicine and God blessed them all with children. Stay faithful in prayer and the journey. 💗
Praying for you both! I don’t know first-hand, how hard this can be, but I watched my sister go through this and I deeply feel for you. I truly believe in God’s time, that it will happen🤍
Wow, you're helping so many women/couples out there with this raw video, Sydel, you've no idea. I'm praying for healthy baby/babies for you soon, S+D🙏🏼!!!
You’re definitely not in this alone Sydel, I am praying for you and Damion.. it will happen in his time.. the baby will be perfect and you’ll both be happy. Baby dust to you.
Sydel! OMG! This was me years ago! I am much older than you now but the grief of this topic doesn’t have an age. I was your age going through all of that. It Consumes your entire life every single day! You wake up and go to sleep thinking about it! No one understands that hasn’t gone through it! Our sex life became so robotic and not spontaneous if that’s a better word. It was like I’m ovulating let’s go right now. It began to make our relationship struggle a bit as much as he wanted it just as much as me. He understood but I still felt like he doubted that anything was wrong. It became MENTAL for me. I get it and you made me cry because I remember those sad days! I’m still watching your video so I am Praying for you and your husband that God Blesses you with your bundle of Joy! 🙏🏾
It nearly seems obvious that among the many gifts (and talents) you have is the incomparable ability to be transparent and vulnerable about your life in general, but also about the challenges you face (Because Life 😉 challenges happen for all of us). But this is such a blessing for people trying to get pregnant and those that aren't bc many ppl see celebrity individuals as somehow unaffected by life challenges and free of life struggles. We all face struggles, and your posting this video is helpful to so many who need that reminder. I look forward to the testimony (whenever that is and whatever that looks like for you and your husband), bc I believe that our struggles are often meant to ultimately result in a testimony for God to receive the glory. Thank you for sharing your gift of vulnerability with all of us -- it is not in vain.
I literally feel your EVERY emotion. I shout you guys out on IG and Twitter but you literally are so strong for sharing your story publicly because you didn’t have to. I don’t have the same experience with my body but other factors really make it hard to expand our family. I’m continuing to pray for you and Damon. God is still here with you.
I'm not even sure if you're going to see this Sydel, but I understand how hard this must be for you both. Back in April 2017, me and my wife miscarried and it was a very sad and painful experience. After that happened, there was one morning where I prayed and pleaded with God and read Malachi 2:15a which says, "But did He not make them one, having a remnant of the Spirit? And why one? He seeks godly offspring..". I told God that this is what it said in His word while I was praying, and for God to open my wife's womb so that we could have another baby, being that God is the One in control of this all. A couple of months later in July, and God answered our prayer with another baby. I say that to say this, God is still faithful. If you come to Him in faith with His word through prayer, He will listen. Keep believing God for your miracle baby and keep the faith. He hears you and sees each tear. May God bless you and your husband.
Thank you for your transparency. I really hope doctors start reevaluating how they deal with infertility, so many women get brushed off when they bring up the concerns and it’s annoying. Wishing you and your husband all the best in your journey.
Watching this makes me remember my journey. I waited 4 years with fertility treatments and all until I became a mom to my baby boy last year. All the tears and ups and downs, praying and waiting are all so real. I come in agreement with your prayers and I am praying for your beautiful healthy baby. God knows your heart’s desire and it will come to pass.
Thank you for this. Hubby and I are on a 5 year TTC journey. Praying for Gods blessings for us both. Your strength and vulnerability is beautiful. Our time will come and I trust that God will bless us both queen. Sending you both prayers and positive energy 💕💕💕
This is definitely the most vulnerable video of yours I believe and I can only imagine what it took for you to feel comfortable sharing your journey with the world. Thank you for your transparency and courage. You and Damion will be in my prayers❤️
You guys are literally the cutest, God bless y’all fr. It’s such a blessing that you have a husband who still looks at you the same. He doesn’t understand how it feels, but So thankful he supports
Thank you for sharing! 🤍 this just makes me sad because I noticed that after you guys got married people kept asking u constantly “when are you going to have a baby or are you pregnant” & this just really shows once again that people need to mind their own business because you never know what someone is going through behind the scenes. Sending so much love to you guys! ❤️
It takes huge guts to share this. We're going through this as well. I'm happy you're sharing your experience and raising awareness! Wishing you all the best! xoxo
I love this transparency. People are rarely brave enough to share the struggle as they're going through the storm they usually tell us the struggle after they've been through it. This is so important for many women to hear. You are not alone.
Thank you for letting us know your real struggle. Many woman have the same struggle and you are bringing light to it. Prayers that your prayers will be answered and hopefully on the next video we see a real positive test. There are no real words to make you feel better but just keep trying and don’t give up. God is good. 🙏🏼
Sydel-thank you so much for your honesty and transparency. The infertility struggle can be so lonely and isolating. You both will be in my prayers. ❤️❤️
Sydel love ♥️ I’m getting so emotional watching this. I know there is nothing that any of us can say to make you feel better but I know in my heart you WILL become a Mom and when that day comes you will be blessed 100000X more than you already are. God has you and Damion both! You already know God’s timing is the best timing and I’m sure it’ll all make sense soon. But It WILL happen for you both and I’m sending you nothing but prayers and joy♥️ I’m praying for your mental health as well. You are such a strong woman and although I’m not like married or a mom yet I’m glad you shared your story for those out there who are going through this. Thank you for being so transparent about this🙏🏽♥️♥️
I found this at such the right time. THANK YOU so much for your transparency! Because I’ve felt it and I’m currently feeling all of it! And sometimes this journey feels like such a lonely one. And yet sometimes you don’t want to let the people closest to you know how bad you’re struggling with it. But to see someone talk about with full transparency and say the things you sometimes can’t find the words to say....just thank you. Wholeheartedly praying for the best for you! For us. 🙏🏾
Thanks for being so transparent. My daughter and son-in-law have gone through a miscarriage and finally the end of 2020 she became pregnant the baby girl came at 23 weeks. She is my princess warrior..my little fighter is still here and thriving. My daughter found out she has a short cervix and she will always have to have the tac procedure ( may of spelled that wrong). May God bless you both and keep trying. Our timing is not God’s timing but when he shows up he shows out.🥰
Thank you for your TRANSPARENCY throughout this video and your process. I see the pain in you and your husband's eyes. I too had fertility problems. People just don't realize the pain a person feels, well let me say how I felt. I began to blame myself. Just like you when people all around were having babies and here I was. I was happy for them, but wondered what the heck. I truly get it. It is mentally straining on the woman and the husband. You may not know it, but you are helping a woman right now. Your testimony is a blessing. Your TH-cam family is 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 for you and your husband individually and collectively as one cohesive family. ❤
Sydel I have been following you for a minute and can relate to you on many things. I'm 32 and just like you have been wanting to be a Mom since I was 16 as well! Back in 2019 I was 37 weeks pregnant and lost my son! Imagine the perfect pregnancy no health conditions no problems all to go in for a check up for the doctor to tell you your son's heart has stopped beating and till this day no answer as to why! Someone told me you will never forget it but it gets easier with time, 2 years later I truly feel that and it's real! Enjoy your husband and life bc losing my son taught me that time is an illusion and we are not in control! I send you peace, love, and faith! From one Charlotte girl to another you are not alone!❤
Awwwe Sydel ❤️❤️😭😭 I’m one of the biggest fans of you, Damion and the Curry’s, No matter what happens, we will all support you and we love you Curry-Lee Girl, and if you do start having your first child we would all happy for you
Keep being strong. Keep loving each other and being there for each other during this time. I’m praying that God will move in a mighty way for you all. Keep trusting Him above ALL THINGS 🙏🏾
I love you. I’ve been going through a similar version. I’ve although been diagnosed with PCOS, which sometimes I’ll have 3 cycles in 1 month. Today I got two false-positives & I’m breaking down watching this. Just to know someone feels the exact same way I do. Especially about motherhood is so soothing yet so difficult to talk about. Keep your head up Sydel. Prayer will make changes.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful journey and being a Black advocate for mental health. Your compassion, beauty and grace has always been present in your social media and this story makes you more beautiful. I can’t wait for the end of part 2 ❤️
Going thru this four 4 years myself with no luck. Thank you for sharing because it makes me feel a little less alone. My doctor also brushed it off originally saying I was young and to have wine and relax. Unbelievable.
Hello everyone! Thank you to those who have sent prayers and well wishes to Damion and I. We sincerely appreciate and receive it, and we also understand that everything is in God’s time but that doesn’t mean our feelings are invalid during the season of waiting. It can bring a lot of stress/depression and questions. We know that in the end God is in control but we are HUMAN and God knows that as well.
I do want to make a note to others:
This has been an almost 3 year journey...meaning we have been in this journey for a LONG time. Statements like: 1) consider a surrogate 2) just enjoy doing the deed 3) just relax/you’re stressing too much 4) you’re young/there is time 5) the birth control is why you’re infertile 6) etc are NOT HELPFUL As I tried to make obvious in the video. Trust me when i say we know all of that and have tried all of that. That’s what makes this process so hard when you do those things and it still doesn’t work. There is a reason we decided to share our story on our time because these comments aren’t helpful or encouraging. Also, before anyone starts making suggestions about what we should do or what anyone else should do especially medical suggestions please wait until you know the whole story. If you watched this whole video, you’ll know that this story is to be continued, again this has been almost 3 years of a journey and this video on showed the first year (which was pretty rough for me mentally)
Either way, I hope those of you that are finding comfort in this video know that you are NOT ALONE. I SEE YOU. I FEEL YOU. I UNDERSTAND YOU. AND DONT LET ANYONE INVALIDATE YOUR FEELINGS OR YOUR PROCESS THROUGH SUCH A DIFFICULT JOURNEY. I LOVE YOU 💕
Hi Sydel I think you and your husband are a beautiful couple and will have the most beautiful, healthy blessed babies . Please do not take this the wrong way but you can take Maca root ( a natural herb for promoting fertility) along with Castor oil packs . We wish you all the best on your journey and one day you will look back at these moments and smile , stay blessed .
Blessings and prayers to you and your husband. Thank you for sharing your journey. Hearing your pain in your voice brought me back to my own journey. I’ve been married since 2017 and haven’t been able to conceive. I had an ectopic pregnancy December 2017 and had emergency surgery. I went through major depression and eventually joined a support group and went to therapy. My mental health was not good and I was in a dark place. My husband could only do so much and It was destroying him to see how much pain I was in. As of today, we haven’t been able to conceive but I’m staying positive. We would love to explore other options but those options are costly even with insurance. I know God will make a way even if it’s fostering, adoption or surrogacy. I just wanted to send love your way and I pray God hears your heart and answer your prayers.
Y'all gonna be straight. Just takes more trying. Just don't pump your full of fertility drugs, that's gonna set yall back further and mess up the biological time clock.
I second Maca Root and Zinc vitamins. I am praying for you guys.
Beautifully said, you are a testimony to many women🙏🏼🥰
And this is exactly why u don't keep asking people "when are you having a baby". Just mind your business. Sending positive vibes your way Sydel and Damion!
I was just about to post this.
Amen!!!!! I'm 32 and people ask me all the time and I tell them when it's time it will happen and to mind there business!!
Thank you for expressing this. You expressed it in a way that wasn’t mean.
I’m 38 and divorced and ppl keep asking me when am I going to get married again and then tell me to hurry up and have a baby because I’m old and my eggs are old. It’s hard to hear.
My everyday life I’m 32 and no kids I want kids but i can’t have a baby by myself 🥺😢
@@CherrelleColeman same age and no kids it’s sad because while I’m laying in bed at night I do start crying Because it gets to me
Don’t give up Baby Girl! After 3 miscarriages; the pain and stress of it all made me just give up. I made peace with everything, relaxed and literally let Go and let God. THEN!!!!!! Maybe a year and a half later (at the age of 45)........I gave birth to my first and Only Son... Don’t Give up! Relax and Wait on Gods timing. Trust me, God’s Timing is the absolute Best Timing❤️
This gives me hope.. I have a 23 year old son but I got married and I want to have a child with my husband... We've been together seven years and I'm in my 40s..not sure if it will happen but this is encouraging... God bless u and your son ❤️
@@deshonebonyrowland-ward4552 praying for you
Sydel I hope you see this comment...my wife and I were literally trying for almost 10 years...close to adopting etc...and then BAM!! It just happened and we have a 10 month old going crazy right now. DONT GIVE UP!
Awww God Bless❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰
@@endiya. Thanks. I appreciate it
Awww!! Sending you lots of love and blessings ❤️❤️
@@watchdrama1 thank you
Thanks you for being so TransPARENT and sharing your journey with us. I remember when I was 25 and they doctor told me that I had thyroid cancer and I would never have kids. God had a different plan for and that was 25 yrs ago.
I had my daughter @ 39 and my son at 41. I'm 51 was an Amazing husband and family. I know its hard God has so many blessings for you and YOUR husband... please walk in faith and just know that a blessing is coming ❤
Thank you so much for sharing your journey. I’m glad that you are doing well and were able to have your children. It’s good to see that there are people out there who had children in their 40s. That will be the case for me, but it’s so frustrating when people assume that people need to hurry up while they are in their 30s like it’s the end of the world. 😔
God bless
Kimberly Landsman you give me so much hope sweetie
AMEN!!!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️❤️
Dear god, please give these beautiful people the gift of being parents. I’m 13 but have a huge family. I will pray for you everyday. I love you guys. ❤️🥺
*God
How do u use TH-cam at such age ? Go sleep
Capital ‘G’ for God
@@Chris-vv1jc what?!
You are grounded!!! Now get off TH-cam!! By the way God hears your prayers too.
I went through 5 rounds of IVF and lost 2 children before we had our miracle baby who will be 4 in August. Infertility is a lonely, emotional roller coaster. All I will say is I will continue to pray for you and when it does happen, it will all be worth it. Every shot, every appointment, every tear, every disappointment will be all worth it. That I can promise you.
Awe that’s so sad that you had to go through 5 rounds of IVF. Happy you finally got blessed
Blessings to u & your family🙏🏾
This hits home for me. I struggled and am still struggling with infertility and PCOS. It took us 8 years to have our son. The depression is so real, the desperation, the isolation, it is the most crushing pain and feeling of inadequacy. I know, I know what you are feeling. I am so sorry. No one deserves this level of pain. I will have you in my prayers. I am a huge advocate of allowing ourselves to feel what we are feeling. It’s a rollercoaster of emotions and constant survival mode. But truly the Lord is with the broken-hearted and he will sustain you. Sending you a huge hug and thank you for sharing this, it takes such bravery.
First off, your transparency is astounding. You are so strong Sydel. One thing I know is that God is right there with you even when it doesn't feel like it. He sees you and He knows your hearts desires. Trust in the Lord with all you heart and lean not on your own understanding. Keep trusting Him. Praying for you and Damion deeply!
Following your journey you have become my little cousin in my head. I am praying for you and Damion. My 6 year old sat beside me and watched this video and she said out loud "She needs to wait. God is going to give her a baby" . She's so wise and when speaks things. It comes to past. You're transparency is impacting the lives of others in ways you may never know!
wow...wish I could meet her...so sweet...
You’re so brave sharing your journey. My husband and I are about to be in our 4 year marriage and we’ve been trying since we got married. I truly feel your pain and it’s emotionally hard to hear the people that’s close to you getting pregnant. Sydel, don’t give up and don’t DO it just to get pregnant; I suggest to stop trying, enjoy your marriage and when you least expect it, you’re pregnant. That is what I tell myself every single day. As hard as it sound, we just have to stay positive and trust in God’s timing.
100% agree
Amen 🙏🏽
Agreed! Stop the stressing and enjoy marriage it will come when least expect it. I'm 35 about to he first time mom, you have many reproductive years ahead.
This is why it is extremely important not to ask people about their baby journey. I know many people ask out of concern or just nosiness but you just never know what someone is going through. I am praying for you and Damion’s strength through all of this. As someone who struggles with mental health I know how hard this must be for you and I so wish I could give you a big ol hug. God’s got you love❤️❤️❤️❤️
There’s so many things that can be said, but I’ll say this much.....thank you, Sydel for your transparency. Thank you, for allowing the world into the innermost emotions behind you & your husband’s pregnancy journey. Thank you, for being courageous enough to expose your vulnerability with us. Thank you, for bringing awareness of some things that transpires throughout the course of trying to get pregnant. I needed to see/hear this, she needed to see/hear this, we needed to see/hear this! My God continue to order the steps of you & your husband & may the timing of the pregnancy be right on time. You got this & God got y’all! Love, always 💜
God's time is the right time...hang in there and keep on praying and watch Him work in your lives 🙏🙏
I tried for 3 years hardcore! My doctors told me I had PCOS and it would difficult if at all possible to conceive . I was just like you, scared and worried. Completely consumed my life and thoughts because I wanted it so bad. After seeking medical help and paying crazy money to fertility specialist, I had no more hope. After 3 years I wouldn’t say I stopped trying but I definitely lighten up because I thought I just wasn’t able. I have 3 kids now!!! After my first pregnancy I easily got pregnant again and again. I don’t want to say don’t worry because it’s natural to do so. But I have to say it Sydel because I have been through this, Please please don’t stress yourself out keep a healthy mind and body for your baby because it’s coming.
I’m literally crying rn! Your time will come, you will be a mother and you will do amazing! You guys will be the best parents! Thank you for your transparency 👏🏽
Amen!
I’m 7 years in and still trying. I’ve gone through all the emotions and given up thousands of times but the honest truth is there’s a part of me that still believes God will come through. No one can ever explain the journey of infertility and people have so many misconceptions. The only thing that sustains me to have the little hope I still have is my encouraging myself in God and trusting God that he has good plans for all of us
Please sis check out organic_olivias product Natal nourish 🙏🏾
Only God gives children. Seek him through prayer and fasting in Jesus name. See what he say. Know God is Holy. It can be a 3 hour fast a day. You turning off everything. Just you and God's holy word. Just open his book. I encourage to seek the Lord. See what he say. Yes. God speaks.
Keep God 1st in your Prayers for your baby! She’s coming ! He gives us our Blessings in his TIME 🙏🏾
@@kimberlyholt3658 you can only keep God first through Jesus christ. Jesus said no one cometh to the Father but by me. And Jesus christ gotta be your lord and savior for you to be able to keep God first. The flesh is weak. The spirit is willing.
@@dianaa3336 you can pay all the money you want to pay. Take every pill out there thinking that helps you have children. THEM DEVILS WILL TAKE ALL YOUR MONEY. AND FEED YOU A LIE. WON'T GIVE YOU A PENNY BACK. KNOW ONLY GOD GIVES CHILDREN. ONLY GOD GIVES LIFE. ONLY GOD. GOD THE CREATOR OF ALL HEAVEN AND EARTH. PEOPLE NEED TO READ THE WHOLE WORD OF GOD SO THEY CAN KNOW THAT. GOD GAVE SARAH A BABY AT 99. SAMSON MOTHER WAS OLDER WHEN SHE GAVE BIRTH. RACHEL JACOB WIFE WENT TO HER HUSBAND JACOB AND SAID GIVE ME CHILDREN LEST I DIE. JACOB PUT HER IN HER PLACE AND SAID ONLY GOD GIVES CHILDREN. DID NOT GOD TELL ADAM AND EVE GO BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLE IN THEE EARTH. GOD BLESSED EVE WOMB. I HAD MY YOUNGEST AT 44. HE IS HEALTHY AND STRONG. I WOULD LAY GOD'S WORD RIGHT ON MY BELLY BEFORE THEM DOCTOR'S. AND CRUSH EVERY CURSE IN THE NAME OF JESUS THEY WOULD TRY TO SAY. I KNOW BY GOD HIMSELF. ONLY GOD GIVES LIFE. AND ONLY GOD CAN GIVE YOU HEALTHY BABIES. I HAD MY SON FULL TERM. VAGINAL BIRTH. THANK YOU JESUS CHRIST THE HOPE OF GLORY. IM BELIEVING GOD FOR ONE MORE IN JESUS NAME. IM 49. I KNOW ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD. UNTO THEM THAT BELIEVE..
I definitely had that bitter feeling even towards people I didn’t know. My husband and I took a step back, went to therapy. Just focused on the positive in our relationship. 2020 was the year of bounding for us and at the beginning on 2021 I found out I was expecting. I 100% believe it was becoming mentally stronger to be able to receive this blessing!
Now, I understand completely why you were upset with people asking “when are you having a baby?”. Of course, it’s rude to ask that anyway, but now to know that’s something you’ve been trying to achieve for the absolute longest with no luck. Man, my heart and soul goes out to you and Damion, I always felt that good things happen to good people and I truly hope in part 2 you both get everything y’all want.
I’m hoping and praying at the end of this video part two you tell us you’re pregnant keeping my fingers crossed.
You are strong. You will be a mother. Take it from a new mom who also struggled with miscarriages and negative pregnancy tests. It's pain like I've never felt. But that pain will evolve to pure joy one day.
Your husband's support and love is so adorable and exemplary. You are so blessed to have that unconditional type of love. I wish you all the luck and blessing in your pregnancy journey my dear!
Literally she’s so blessed!!
The transparency, the editing. Praying for you both - cried the entire time.
My partner and I have been trying for 8 years now. Being Polynesian and coming from big family, there is nothing I want more than to be a father and my partner is the same way. I can feel the pain and hurt in her voice in those clips. I mean we are happy but it's like we aren't living and it's like something is missing and constantly dangling that carrot in front and can't grab it. We trying IVF now so hopefully we can be blessed with some positive news soon. God bless all
God’s bless on your journey
Took us 13 years - happened when we had given up.
Took me 8yrs. Don’t give up. God’s time 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This is very important for women to hear especially black women. Thank you for sharing your journey. Ots truly helpful. I love that we get both perspectives because people often forget that the husband goes through this as well. Blessings to you both!
Ikr. I sooo appreciate the transparency from both of them. You get a view from both male & female. No one really talks about this kind of stuff. Like her vulnerability is helping & educating so many!
Someone said, “your time will come,” and it will. God is a merciful God. May he bless your womb to be fruitful, your heart to carry the blessing and your spirit to dwell in your blessing. ❤️❤️
Thank you Sydel for trusting us and sharing your journey with all of us! 💕Sending positive vibes 💕
Said a special prayer for these two this morning. I looked at my twin boys (one is Autistic) and was overcome with gratitude in spite of the challenges that single parenting and autism brings. We can get so lost in selfishness....
Damian & Sydell.... you have prayer Warriors in Greensboro, NC
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🥺
This breaks my heart. Your pain is obvious and I admire you for being transparent and sharing. It’s hard. Feel what you feel. I have witnessed God’s miraculous healing and mercies and I am praying for you both.
The mind is a powerful force and your mindset can play a huge part in not getting pregnant. If someone says just relax in a nonchalant manner most certainly is frustration. But in some cases, that’s just what you have to do. If it’s not happening and you’re planning and trying, the natural feelings and urges go out the window and it starts to feel like a chore. Relaxing and taking the stress out of the process can work miracles but everyone is different. Praying for you guys 🙏
Thank you for sharing your journey with us. My husband and i tried for the first 2 years of our marriage to get pregnant and then we went to a fertility dr who said it would be a miracle if we were had kids. Little did she know that god had other plans for us. Almost 8 years into our marriage we naturally got pregnant with our first son and 15 months later we got pregnant with our second son. Hang in there 🙏💓
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sydel, this must have been the hardest decision to share such a vulnerable part of your life so publicly...but I appreciate it so much as someone who can relate on this fertility journey with you.
Lifting you two up in our prayers.
Sydel! We are twins..I am currently going through what you are! I feel like some people don’t understand this process and how hard it is mentally, emotionally..etc. Some days are just ughh. I’m praying for you and everyone who is going through the fertility process. We are going to have our babies..god is going to bless us 10x❤️❤️❤️Praying for the Lee’s!
Amen
Listen, the continued video will have a testimony. I decree & declare! We gone manifest this into the atmosphere ☝🏾
I am a miracle baby, I was born after 13 years of marriage and trying 5 miscarriages and a stillborn. Funny fact: I was a twin. When my mom miscarried my twin, and they were going to clean her out.. there I was. I am now 26. God’s timing is impeccable. It was when my parents stopped trying that God intervened. Stay strong, stay encouraged. I am praying for you two. My mom is as well.
Thanks for being so transparent with your journey. It’s not easy to share something so personal. The fact that you are sharing this with the world speaks volumes about your character and your brand. You’ve always been a mental health adocate but this level of detail shows how truly dedicated you are around changing the narrative around mental health. You are not only helping others who are on the TTC journey but also others who are navigating through something that is not going as they planned. Thanks again for making such a tremendous difference. Sending all the positive vibes your way. ✨💫
its about gods timing! praying for you guys. my mom wanted one five years ago and now at 46 she had one!! its all about god’s timing!! you will see what he’s was preparing you for !
Thanks for sharing about your mom’s journey. I’m happy for her blessing. Your comment made me feel optimistic because I will be in my 40s when I try to conceive. ❤️
Thank you for sharing this comment it gives me hope
Praying for you both. It’s a tough journey that’s for sure. Just know there are millions of us out there who can completely relate! God has a plan!
No words Sydel… simply sending you love, hugs and positive energy..
It's hard watching women suffering with fertility like that...God is faithful ,trust His timing..it's coming
Theres a couple they were married like 7 years and the husband got frustrated with the wife like it was her fault... one day she went to the Mosque to talk to a Religious leader. He told her never give up and continue praying hard. God's timing is always the best timing. The same year God blessed her with a Baby Boy.
People are not always suffering from fertility issues, it's relaxing and stop working so hard and just enjoy your man. Please take the stress out of it.
@@theosantana7750 mosque?? Christianity is the only true religion
My friend Tasha and her husband tried for YEARS to have a baby. She went through SO many treatments, shots, miscarriages, etc. And they were blessed with their beautiful baby a year ago. I know it's hard. As a person who wants to be a mother and has miscarried. But your feelings and struggles are validated. You have every right to feel this way. You are loved.
This entire video describes my whole life right now! Im praying for you! we shall soon announce our pregnancy!
This is making me so emotional, seeing you cry. I don't know you but you seem like a sweet person who WILL make a great mother bc you WILL have a healthy baby.
Thank you for sharing, we have been TTC for over 10 years, it’s is only now that we have been given the green light to go with IVF. It is sooo hard, and I totally feel you every emotional roller coaster that TTC takes us through. The isolation from the “norm” the endless questions, the FOMO cos we are human after all, the doubt in your marriage and your partner and just a strain on the relationship , the silence we got from family after many years of being asked ‘when when when’ I have cried rivers and oceans behind closed doors, the feeling of inadequacy, the anger, because I thought I was the only one going through this. Thank you, for sharing your story and for allowing people like myself to have hope.
Sydel, thank you for sharing your journey with us. I would never devalue anyone’s experience, but as I watched your video, I could not help but think, just may be god’s purpose for your life is so much greater than just being a mom (nothing wrong with be a mom), just greater! Often times we put limitations on what we believe god’s purpose for our lives is and we stress and become consumed about the right now and he wants us to live, love, grow, mature and embrace the forever or the lifetime experience. What god has for you, is for you and no one else. He promised to give “you” the desires of “your heart” and I believe he will do that and so much more, but you have to trust him. I just believe if you focused on loving yourself, your husband, your marriage (and stop taking all those pregnancy tests) and just let the love flow naturally between the two of you the “children” will come. Yes, I know you shared other people around you are having babies, be happy for them, and just continue to trust god for your blessings (now and in the future). Keep the faith and tell doubt (self or any other kind) there is no vacancies here!
"Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." -Psalm 30:5
Thank you for your vulnerability and sharing your journey. This resonated with me. Praying for you and Damion. Sending love from Houston, Texas. 🙏❤
This is such an important topic to talk about. Praying for you guys 🙏🏽
I pray your time to experience motherhood is sooner than later. I love your transparency. You are human, it’s ok to feel the way you feel. I pray for continuous positivity and joy in your life. Y’all will be blessed with a baby, we’re claiming it! Best wishes, love!
I’m praying for you Sydel and Damian. It WILL happen!! God will bless you with the most beautiful and healthy baby. Thank you for sharing your journey...it’s helping so many women who have the same struggles. 🙏🏾❤️
All kids deserve a good healthy loving home. This home Sydel and Damion Lee are establishing will be a blessing to children. From what I can tell, Sydel (beautiful name, original) comes from a loving home foundation. I am praying for them.
Your story had me in tears. Still in tears my husband and I are t through our own journey we did 2 unsuccessful IUI took a break and jumped right into IVF we did the retrieval process and yes I agree with you Menopur sucks it burns by far the worst one. We ended up with 7 embryos but after testing only got one normal embryo so that took me through a loop. We are in our transfer process of hopefully our Miracle baby. Thank you for sharing your story. I see you and I hear you and I'm praying for your miracle baby.
So glad I saw this on my youtube search. I've been following you on Instagram and this immediately caught my eye. Praying for you that God gives you a baby.
Sydel you are one of the strongest people for sharing your journey. This is by far my biggest fear and I am so sorry you are going through this. I definitely feel your pain and I am praying for you and Damion and hope that you both get exactly what you pray for!!! Thank you thank you thank you for sharing this......it means more than you know. Sending love and positive pregnancy vibes your way!
Thank you for your transparency and vulnerability in sharing your journey with us. I may not know you personally but I feel close to you from your videos and Instagram content. Praying that this desire comes to fruition for you and Damion. Sending you both so much love. Thank you both for sharing your story with us! ❤️
Adding you guys to my prayer list! May God be gracious and kind. 💗 My husband and are going through the same thing. I can definitely relate. I try not to think about it. In dreams, God has shown me our children. He’s even shown my friends and family our children in their dreams. I just had a woman at my Church tell me a week ago she had a dream. 😩 It’s extremely frustrating at times because I feel like you. I’ve cried, felt broken etc. I’ve taken so many tests, drank teas, took supplements etc. It’s hard to see people around experiencing what you’ve asked God for repeatedly. One thing God said to me was to honor the ones around me who are walking in the season I desire to be in. It’s a hard thing to do, but it’s a faith journey. Remain faithful to the journey through faith. I will believe God for you guys that your children will come just like I’m believing God for mine. Trust God! I keep Sarah, Rebekah, Leah, and Hannah (from the Bible) in mind. They experienced infertility before modern medicine and God blessed them all with children. Stay faithful in prayer and the journey. 💗
This is just one of the most vulnerable thing I have ever watched thank you much for sharing. I am praying for you.
Praying for you both!
I don’t know first-hand, how hard this can be, but I watched my sister go through this and I deeply feel for you. I truly believe in God’s time, that it will happen🤍
Wow, you're helping so many women/couples out there with this raw video, Sydel, you've no idea. I'm praying for healthy baby/babies for you soon, S+D🙏🏼!!!
You’re definitely not in this alone Sydel, I am praying for you and Damion.. it will happen in his time.. the baby will be perfect and you’ll both be happy. Baby dust to you.
Sydel! OMG! This was me years ago! I am much older than you now but the grief of this topic doesn’t have an age. I was your age going through all of that. It Consumes your entire life every single day! You wake up and go to sleep thinking about it! No one understands that hasn’t gone through it! Our sex life became so robotic and not spontaneous if that’s a better word. It was like I’m ovulating let’s go right now. It began to make our relationship struggle a bit as much as he wanted it just as much as me. He understood but I still felt like he doubted that anything was wrong. It became MENTAL for me. I get it and you made me cry because I remember those sad days! I’m still watching your video so I am Praying for you and your husband that God Blesses you with your bundle of Joy! 🙏🏾
So strong of you to share this with us, Sydel. Thank you for your vulnerability.
It nearly seems obvious that among the many gifts (and talents) you have is the incomparable ability to be transparent and vulnerable about your life in general, but also about the challenges you face (Because Life 😉 challenges happen for all of us). But this is such a blessing for people trying to get pregnant and those that aren't bc many ppl see celebrity individuals as somehow unaffected by life challenges and free of life struggles.
We all face struggles, and your posting this video is helpful to so many who need that reminder.
I look forward to the testimony (whenever that is and whatever that looks like for you and your husband), bc I believe that our struggles are often meant to ultimately result in a testimony for God to receive the glory.
Thank you for sharing your gift of vulnerability with all of us -- it is not in vain.
Blessings to you Sydel. Praying that in this month of June, when God is revealing the Harvest, that a baby, bundle of joy, is in your womb.
Amen
I literally feel your EVERY emotion. I shout you guys out on IG and Twitter but you literally are so strong for sharing your story publicly because you didn’t have to. I don’t have the same experience with my body but other factors really make it hard to expand our family. I’m continuing to pray for you and Damon. God is still here with you.
Thank you for sharing your journey with us and allowing us to be apart of your world!! So sorry that this is happening to you guys!!
I'm not even sure if you're going to see this Sydel, but I understand how hard this must be for you both. Back in April 2017, me and my wife miscarried and it was a very sad and painful experience. After that happened, there was one morning where I prayed and pleaded with God and read Malachi 2:15a which says, "But did He not make them one, having a remnant of the Spirit? And why one? He seeks godly offspring..". I told God that this is what it said in His word while I was praying, and for God to open my wife's womb so that we could have another baby, being that God is the One in control of this all. A couple of months later in July, and God answered our prayer with another baby. I say that to say this, God is still faithful. If you come to Him in faith with His word through prayer, He will listen. Keep believing God for your miracle baby and keep the faith. He hears you and sees each tear. May God bless you and your husband.
Thank you for your transparency. I really hope doctors start reevaluating how they deal with infertility, so many women get brushed off when they bring up the concerns and it’s annoying. Wishing you and your husband all the best in your journey.
Watching this makes me remember my journey. I waited 4 years with fertility treatments and all until I became a mom to my baby boy last year. All the tears and ups and downs, praying and waiting are all so real.
I come in agreement with your prayers and I am praying for your beautiful healthy baby. God knows your heart’s desire and it will come to pass.
May I ask what kind of treatment did u have?
I was just praying for you guys, since we hadn’t heard from you in a while.
Jesus is coming soon
Thank you for this. Hubby and I are on a 5 year TTC journey. Praying for Gods blessings for us both. Your strength and vulnerability is beautiful. Our time will come and I trust that God will bless us both queen. Sending you both prayers and positive energy 💕💕💕
This is definitely the most vulnerable video of yours I believe and I can only imagine what it took for you to feel comfortable sharing your journey with the world. Thank you for your transparency and courage. You and Damion will be in my prayers❤️
You guys are literally the cutest, God bless y’all fr. It’s such a blessing that you have a husband who still looks at you the same. He doesn’t understand how it feels, but So thankful he supports
My heart 💜 goes out to you guys. Praying 🙏 everything goes well.
Thank you for sharing! 🤍 this just makes me sad because I noticed that after you guys got married people kept asking u constantly “when are you going to have a baby or are you pregnant” & this just really shows once again that people need to mind their own business because you never know what someone is going through behind the scenes. Sending so much love to you guys! ❤️
It takes huge guts to share this. We're going through this as well. I'm happy you're sharing your experience and raising awareness! Wishing you all the best! xoxo
All i can say ..in all thing have Joy and praise and DON'T give up.
I love this transparency. People are rarely brave enough to share the struggle as they're going through the storm they usually tell us the struggle after they've been through it. This is so important for many women to hear. You are not alone.
I just wanted to reach through the screen and give you a hug 😥. You are so strong to share. I pray you get your happy ending 🙏🏾
Sending you peace and love! After 10 years I just had my first baby. I'm praying for you guys! God is able!!!
Thank you for letting us know your real struggle. Many woman have the same struggle and you are bringing light to it. Prayers that your prayers will be answered and hopefully on the next video we see a real positive test. There are no real words to make you feel better but just keep trying and don’t give up. God is good. 🙏🏼
Your transparency is so beautiful 💕 Praying God blesses you && your husband w/an abundance of babies!!
It takes so much courage to be so transparent. I’m praying for strength for the both of you during this journey! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Sydel-thank you so much for your honesty and transparency. The infertility struggle can be so lonely and isolating. You both will be in my prayers. ❤️❤️
Sydel love ♥️ I’m getting so emotional watching this. I know there is nothing that any of us can say to make you feel better but I know in my heart you WILL become a Mom and when that day comes you will be blessed 100000X more than you already are. God has you and Damion both! You already know God’s timing is the best timing and I’m sure it’ll all make sense soon. But It WILL happen for you both and I’m sending you nothing but prayers and joy♥️ I’m praying for your mental health as well. You are such a strong woman and although I’m not like married or a mom yet I’m glad you shared your story for those out there who are going through this. Thank you for being so transparent about this🙏🏽♥️♥️
I found this at such the right time. THANK YOU so much for your transparency! Because I’ve felt it and I’m currently feeling all of it! And sometimes this journey feels like such a lonely one. And yet sometimes you don’t want to let the people closest to you know how bad you’re struggling with it. But to see someone talk about with full transparency and say the things you sometimes can’t find the words to say....just thank you. Wholeheartedly praying for the best for you! For us. 🙏🏾
Thanks for being so transparent. My daughter and son-in-law have gone through a miscarriage and finally the end of 2020 she became pregnant the baby girl came at 23 weeks. She is my princess warrior..my little fighter is still here and thriving. My daughter found out she has a short cervix and she will always have to have the tac procedure ( may of spelled that wrong). May God bless you both and keep trying. Our timing is not God’s timing but when he shows up he shows out.🥰
Thank you for your TRANSPARENCY throughout this video and your process. I see the pain in you and your husband's eyes. I too had fertility problems. People just don't realize the pain a person feels, well let me say how I felt. I began to blame myself. Just like you when people all around were having babies and here I was. I was happy for them, but wondered what the heck. I truly get it. It is mentally straining on the woman and the husband. You may not know it, but you are helping a woman right now. Your testimony is a blessing. Your TH-cam family is 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 for you and your husband individually and collectively as one cohesive family. ❤
Talk to God.
Trust in him.He knows what he's doing.
Have patience, he has his own plan.God loves you and knows you're sad.
Sydel I have been following you for a minute and can relate to you on many things. I'm 32 and just like you have been wanting to be a Mom since I was 16 as well! Back in 2019 I was 37 weeks pregnant and lost my son! Imagine the perfect pregnancy no health conditions no problems all to go in for a check up for the doctor to tell you your son's heart has stopped beating and till this day no answer as to why! Someone told me you will never forget it but it gets easier with time, 2 years later I truly feel that and it's real! Enjoy your husband and life bc losing my son taught me that time is an illusion and we are not in control! I send you peace, love, and faith! From one Charlotte girl to another you are not alone!❤
Awwwe Sydel ❤️❤️😭😭
I’m one of the biggest fans of you, Damion and the Curry’s, No matter what happens, we will all support you and we love you Curry-Lee Girl, and if you do start having your first child we would all happy for you
Keep being strong. Keep loving each other and being there for each other during this time. I’m praying that God will move in a mighty way for you all. Keep trusting Him above ALL THINGS 🙏🏾
So sorry to hear how hard it has been. I'm praying for the both of you and believing that God will make a way for you.💛
Praying Sydel for you and your husband to become parents and that God gives you strength during the waiting period. 🌸🙌🏽
I’m in the same boat and feel the same way. It’s hard to keep the faith sometimes. Praying for you guys 💕
I will be praying for you guys everyday . You are such wonderful and beautiful people.
Hang in there sis you’re going to be an amazing mother through everything it’s triumph!!! You have an awesome husband who’s by your side
I love you. I’ve been going through a similar version. I’ve although been diagnosed with PCOS, which sometimes I’ll have 3 cycles in 1 month. Today I got two false-positives & I’m breaking down watching this. Just to know someone feels the exact same way I do. Especially about motherhood is so soothing yet so difficult to talk about. Keep your head up Sydel. Prayer will make changes.
Awww Sydel! I am already crying at the beginning. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
ikr
I need a new box of tissue for this.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful journey and being a Black advocate for mental health. Your compassion, beauty and grace has always been present in your social media and this story makes you more beautiful. I can’t wait for the end of part 2 ❤️
Going thru this four 4 years myself with no luck. Thank you for sharing because it makes me feel a little less alone. My doctor also brushed it off originally saying I was young and to have wine and relax. Unbelievable.
I just wanna hug her. She's a strong beautiful woman. I'm praying for you Sydel❤️
