I remember you saying in a past video "one day when we're holding our baby this will all make sense." I'm so excited for you that you've chosen another round of IVF.
Sending you love and prayers to you both, the roller coaster of infertility is brutal but I'm so glad you listened to your hearts and are giving it another go. We did that this year, one more go after 8 years of heart ache and we are due in January. I believe you can find the right protocol for you and have your family xx
I have always been absolutely amazed at your tenacity and bravery! You have been tested beyond anything I could imagine, your infertility battle, the loss of your dear mother in law and now the pain of your fathers illness and prognosis. I am so in awe of your ability to keep moving forward, to find clarity and that despite all of this you remain humble and gracious! I am keeping everything crossed for you and Tim to have the most successful IVF round yet and for two lines soon! So much love to you!
When you go through fertility stuff, it’s so hard not to feel alone. Yet so many people go through this. You are giving me strength on my own journey which has been nothing but pain so fair. That you can even talk about this with all else you have on I think you are so strong and amazing, these videos help more people than you know. I hope you know we will always support any breaks you need from here. We want nothing but the best for you and wishing you all the best going forward lovely xx
You pop into my thoughts often and I always check for updates. I’m so excited for this next chapter for you both. I’m sorry you’ve spent so long in the deep of it and struggled. It’s a terrible place to be. I wish nothing but the best for you and I hope this cycle brings everything you’ve ever dreamed of. Thinking of you x Blessings blessings blessings!!!
I’m doing another round after 2 failed ones, I’m glad you are doing another one. Do not worry about what other people think, you do what’s right for you!
I don't know what the statistics show but I can bet ALL these mothers knew someplace in their heart that they had to try one more time and it was that "one more time" that changed their lives forever and they became moms. I am so happy for you that you have the courage and faith to hang there. See this all as a learning and enjoyment process. Allow your dreams to go wild with seeing your baby bump grow and all the enjoyments pregnant moms feel. Plan the nursery too - the colors, furniture - whatever makes you happy. I can also bet that we are all here praying and seeing a successful implant. Relax and allow because God always says "YES".
I'm so sorry to hear that your dad is poorly, it must be heartbreaking to see the struggles. He is so very lucky to have such a loving daughter to take care of him and make him comfortable. Wishing you lots of luck with this round of IVF and while my opinion is irrelevant, I think whatever method sits well with your heart is the one to go for. Sending peaceful and calming vibes 💖
Ive been on my fertility journey for 10 years now and am now 40 and only just now ready to accept that my eggs are the reason and so have decided to move to egg donations and it is hard. You have to allow yourself to grieve and it’s ok to not be ok. It is so hard and fertility can feel and seems to control your life. Don’t give up, i understand the pain and hurt. I cant wait to here that your dreams of a baby are coming true. Thankyou for your videos and for you honesty in them. Make me feel im not alone in this lonely infertility world.
I have been watching your videos for a while, I haven't made comments, I have felt absolutely heartbroken for you & Tim. I'm hoping & praying you get your rainbow baby, you deserve it so much. I'm always thinking of you & your husband. So sorry to hear about your dad aswell. I have PCOS, I understand what a stressful & emotionally exhausting it is going through this journey. I have been through multiple cycles of ivf with no success, high quality embryos either ending in miscarriage or BFN, my husband has high DNA fragmentation, I have multiple immune issues, we only got one high grade embryo with this cycle with ICSI & sent it off for PGT-A testing as we are frustrated with so many failed cycles. It has felt like me & my husband has had nothing but bad news. Sending positive thoughts your way & wishing you all the best with this ivf cycle. Hope this is the one where you get your rainbow babyxx
Also, if it gives you any hope. I have MTHFR gene (2 to be exact) and I suffered 3 chemical pregnancies and 2 miscarriages. I took the recommend precautions (special vitamins for folic acid that my body could absorb and heparin shots) with the 2 pregnancies that started strong but they still ended in miscarriage. Then at 36 I fell pregnant again and for my own sanity I told my partner that I wasn't going to do anything extra and if the pregnancy stuck it was meant to be and if not I knew how to heal. That baby stuck and I now have an 18 month old son. Perfectly healthy and very intelligent, so it CAN happen!
Having similar story. 4 miscarriages and 8 embryo transfers. I have factor V Leiden. I got pregnant for the fifth time and said to my clinic that I want to do it in natural cycle (no artificial estrogen), no artificial progesterone, no blood thinners. No medication at all except for trigger shot. I said it is all in God's hands. The baby stayed with us throughout the pregnancy and now I have a perfect baby boy, born just few months ago. I know that our stories are anecdotal but the thing is that we just never know why certain pregnancies are successful and why some end in miscarriage. If I would be on some crazy medical protocol (like with my previous transfers) the doctors and me would think that the medications helped but in this case they didn't. We just never know why it sometimes works against all the odds. I also know 3 more girls that transfered multiple embryos, some even used embryo donations and went through fertility treatments for years. One got pregnant naturally and the other two after transferring 14/15 embryos (double transfers) one had twins the other baby girl (other twin passed away around 12 weeks).
Hey girl! I am so glad to hear how you and Tim have been doing. Infertility gets tiring emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually! I will never stop being in the corner of those who are still in the trenches of their infertility journey. We went through it for six years before we got our miracle. However, I never stopping being there for those still praying and trying for their miracle. In your corner girl! Keep us updated!
Hello again from across the world! I’m not on instagram and so excited you shared this update here. It took my husband and I 8 years to conceive our son. Two more years another son. Your story hits my heart that’s why I’ve been following you over the years. Your book is beautiful. I keep my copy handy because despite my sons being 20 & 22 years old, reading it reminds me of the days past. Please know you have been in my daily prayers. 🥰
Celeste, I am sending the best wishes to you and Tim! I was thinking about you a lot lately. I didn't want to mention something that I found online that made me think of you since I wasn't sure what would your plans be. But since you're trying IVF again maybe it'll be worth a mention: I found some studies that link anti-histamine use to miscarriages in some people. You mentioned your allergies many times so I was thinking maybe this is something worth looking into to maximize your chances? I am sorry if my unsolicited advice upsets you. I am only writing this because I am wishing with all my heart that you finally have your rainbow baby! Whatever path you chose, I hope it leads to a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby! I am so sorry about your dad's illness. I hope your sister has a lovely wedding and your dad enjoys being able to be a part of it. I also want to say thank you for your videos and for sharing your story on Instagram. I am one of those people whom your videos helped immensely.
Thank you so much for your kind words and sharing that finding with me. I’ve heard that too, and hoping a more intense immune protocol that I haven’t yet tried will help make all the difference 🤞🏼💕
Sending prayers and best wishes. My granddaughter was born 5 weeks ago after my daughter went thru 4 years of infertility treatments, IUI, IVF and 2 miscarriages. I know how hard this journey is, but she is worth it all.
As long as you're breathing, there's still hope. Hold on to that. You're doing the right thing, don't give up, not just yet. Sending you a lot of strenght and faith ❤
Sending prayers for your Dad and all your family. Wishing you all the luck in the world for your upcoming retrieval. We just did our second retrieval. We had 6 embryos from our first and after 3 miscarriages and one failed transfer, my husband and I finally got on the same page and agreed to one more retrieval and this time got the embryos tested. We have 1 pgt normal and one inconclusive. Just fighting with Drs now to try and get changes made to my FET protocol to take into account my recurrent loss. Why is everything always such a struggle and why do we always have to advocate for ourselves so much! Look forward to hearing great results from you for this new round 🙏🤞
It is so strange to "change your mind" on something you always wanted. My husband and I have gone through 2 first trimester miscarriages, a second trimester miscarriage, and a still birth. The last with 2 rounds of donor egg IVF. We still plan to adopt, but I'm think I'm ok with a kid free life. I NEVER thought I would feel that way. But at 41 I just feel too old now. Infertility is like living in the Twilight Zone. Best of luck to you!!!!
Hi Celeste! Good luck! Hope this works for you! Me and my husband had been struggling for 6 years and after 6 ivfs we finally got our miracle! We have the same dha as well. I remember the only thing different we did was some patches i think it was estrogen( i kinda deleted all the struggle in my mind) and did acupuncture during the transfer and I really did rest for two weeks! Eating as healthy as I could-smoothies, salads, brazil nuts, pineapple core basically anything I read! Maybe it didn’t matter but it made feel better and sometimes that can help! I also remember I was rewatching friends to try and keep me positive and had my fluffy socks on and pjs all day! Was so comfy and cozy!all the best to u! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
So sorry life has been so difficult. I can only imagine how hard your fertility journey has been. On the other hand it is so nice to see you, and you look great. So sorry to hear how your Dad is struggling. I can understand the heartbreak as I watched my Dad physically decline and pass. Glad you have arrived at a decision, and are doing an IVF cycle, and embryo adoption is still an alternative on the shelf. Very proud of you…you have not given up.❤️
Wishing you & Tim nothing but the best, You are the kindest, sweetest lady who deserves everything that your heart desires, I follow your journey with so much love & admiration for you, So sorry about your dad xXx
Thanks for sharing your journey. I can understand it can be difficult and frustrating to keep trying but not succeed. IVF treatment is so expensive and it does not guarantee the ideal outcome we wanted. But don’t give up! I hope you will have good news! 💪🏼
I'm starting ivf this year, your videos have been so helpful❤ I'm so glad you went with the path that felt right! I've had to do the same in my 4 years of infertility and its hard to explain my choices to others as well
Celeste, you are a wonderful woman. This is your story and you have to live it as you see fit. No one can give you an opinion, no one can tell you which is the best way. Only your heart can tell you that. For my part, I only wish you the best, that this longed-for child arrives to complete your beautiful family and to compensate for all your suffering. A thousand hugs
Oh Celeste. I followed your journey in the past and for some reason this video popped up as an alert this week. I hadn't thought about your story in a few years and I was really hoping ye had a family in that time. I'm sorry to hear its still an ongoing journey and all the hardships ye are having in your life. Good luck with this cycle. There is an Irish instagrammer called Rosanna Davison. She is famous as she is a former Miss world and her father was Chris Deborah ( 80s pop singer). She had such a long journey to motherhood. Multiple miscarriages, eventually choosing surrogacy few years ago and has just recently carried and given birth to twins. I thought it might give you hope to know about her journey. She speaks quite openly about her journey and might be of interest to you. I am an ivf mum myself and its very difficult and lonely at times when your in the midst of it all. I wish ye the best.xx
I hope this is the one! You guys have more information then you did then too! So hopefully knowing what you know now it will make better results. I know people from my fertility group that had to do 6 or more cycles but now have mutinied children! It happens!
You and Tim are never far from my thoughts and prayers. Will be praying extra as you walk through this IVF protocol. So much love to you guys from the US ❤️ And will be keeping your dad in my prayers too. I am so sorry he continues to decline. He is lucky to have you, Celeste. And surely you make him proud!
Celeste I'm so sorry about your dad. Mnd is such an awful terrible disease. I'm thinking about your dad. I can't imagine seeing someone you love dearly decline in such a cruel way. You are honestly the strongest person with everything you have had to deal with. I'm so proud of both you and Tim taking these steps to try another round of ivf. Sending all my good thoughts !! 🤞❤
It is so nice to hear from you again after all this time! I pray for your IVF cycle to be successful! And you will have an earth side baby in your arm in the end.
You've certainly had more than your fair share of hurdles along your journey. Just because you have options doesn't mean you have to take them. Do whatever you feel is best for you. Wishing you all the best and keeping my fingers crossed for you.
Thank you for the update, as I'm not often on Instagram. I have checked on you and have seen how well your photography is going. You take the most beautiful pictures. I am glad you were able to move forward, and are following your heart. I am praying with all my heart that everything goes beautifully and that both you and Tim are able to find peace and calm during this process. I am sorry that your dad's health is declining, but am relieved for you that you are able to spend time with him and will keep your family in my prayers.
Hi, Celeste You are very courageous for continuing! And good on you! I feel you definitely need to continue and don’t give up! I know poor Tim is as exhausted but things happen for a reason and trust me your reason will finally come to terms with you! God bless you my love keep safe!
I definitely know what that is like I’ve been trying for 25 years and I am now 45 and still struggling my insurance don’t pay for anything so I can’t do ivf treatments I tried clomid and letrozole but neither worked so I continue to try natural way
All the best for your journey. It’s really hard. After 9 years of infertility- I am finally 15 weeks pregnant. Long journey to go but we have had a long journey behind us too.
I'm so sorry to hear about your father. I follow your photography business and the images are gorgeous I wish I lives there so I could hire you. Your path is your path if genetics are important to you then Im so happy you're able to try again despite having that previous trauma. I hope this brings about a baby. You guys will make wonderful parents. You've waited so long. You'll never take any of it for granted. Your time is coming. I hope you're still friends with Liv so sorry that route didn't pan out I'm sure that's a strain on a friendship
I am incredibly EXCITED for you and Tim! Sending lots of prayers your way. Your videos really helped me during my ectopic pregnancy in December 2020 and TTC baby #2 for 3 years now. Love you! Can’t wait to see the upcoming videos. 💜💜💜
Very glad to hear your update as I would so much love to hear you have finally managed to have a baby and I know you were only updating and nobody else's opinion counts but glad to hear your going for it again so I wish the best of luck and love to both of you and lets hope it will be 3 of you soon love you so much take care and everything crossed for you xxx
I am so happy to see you posted a video. I totally understand where you are coming from. I am so happy for you & praying hard for positive results. Hang in there, stay positive & much love. Praying for your Dad as well. Take good care & keep smiling beautiful.
Praying for you guys💗💗💗💗Happy to see you again Celeste….been thinking of you! So happy to hear you are choosing to continue the journey with IVF. Much Love as always!!!
I have watched your journey since the start and couldn't think of a couple more deserving to be parents. It has been incredibly frustrating for us to watch as viewers of your years of disappointment and heartbreak. Everytime I've hoped and prayed this is the one for you. I truly hope this it 🙏🍀
I completely understood when you said "we said the last cycle was going to be the last cycle". My husband and I said that too after 6 years of IVF failures we said "this is it, the last time". We were SO drained (in every sense of the word), but when that cycle also ended in failure we both just couldn't give up, we had to keep trying. I can tell you that we both say to each other every few days how happy we are that we didn't give up and that we didn't let what we said was our "last cycle" be our last. I just gave birth to our amazing baby boy in April. He truly is our miracle baby. I have been following you for many many years and I can relate to you in so many ways and I can tell you, I can not wait to cry tears of joy with you when you finally have your miracle baby in your arms!!!!
You are such a sweet beautiful person. You sound so good, I’m so glad you are at peace with your decision. Your intuition is correct, don’t stop yet. Taking it one day at a time is such good advise to follow, get through the day and move on to what is next. I will pray for you, hang in there and thank you for sharing.
I am glad to see you follow your heart ❤️ whatever the future holds, whatever decision you make, I hope you will find your happiness. You deserve it so much! Fingers crossed and baby dust ✨✨✨
I have been following your journey and I hope so so much you are successful. We’ve had two transfers and have miscarried both. Although the last one was very hard. We had a missed miscarriage at 10 weeks. I wish you guys all the luck in the world!
So glad to hear from you. My continued thoughts for you and Tim. Yes be kind to yourself. Its not an easy path. The hubby and I are facing a tough decision too. He is considered geriatic in the infertility world. Im getting close to that as well. We would want to make our little guy a sibling but we are not quite too sure
My heart breaks for both of you with everything you guys have had to endure and the things you guys are STILL going through. 🙏I will keep you both in my heart and prayers and wish you all the love, happiness, and positivity possible! So very much love to you guys.
@@TimandCeleste I wish I lived closer to you guys, I have thought long and hard after seeing couples such as yourselves going through these heartbreaking battles, and I truly want to become a surrogate. I want to help families who just want to be parents but their bodies are stubborn. I hope this doesn't come off as insensitive because I mean no disrespect or negativity in anyway. I truly do hope that things begin to look brighter for both of you very very soon! Please try not to lose hope, I know it must be extremely hard and I can't even pretend to know what you guys are going through, but if I can do anything to help, please let me know. Much love, happiness, and positivity!
So glad to see you posting videos again! I have missed them. Glad you had what sounds like a much needed break though. Praying for you as you continue on this journey and for you as you care for your dad. I can't imagine how hard that must be. I can definitely relate to you saying that you are tired of talking about infertility...it can really feel depressing when you feel like all you share is bad news. I have felt the same and I haven't wanted to pick up my camera either. You sharing helps me feel less alone. Thanks as always Celeste.💜🙏
This is just heartbreaking. I wish you all the best and hope that some day your dreams will come true. I have experienced secondaryinfertility for 6 years and sadly, the only thing that helped was the change of a partner. I then found out that was the thing that life had planned for me. I wish you the best ❤...the hurt and dissapointent year after year is just so 😭😭.
i cannot put into words how much my heart hurts for you. the longing to be a mother is something that constantly pulls at every fibre. the decision you made to keep going is so brave. i wish you all the best.❤️
You are such an inspiration! You are brave! And you inspire us to be brave as well… You’re such a beautiful and good person… You really deserve all you’ve been wishing and waiting for… I wish you the best! I’m sending you all my love and positive energy🙌🏻♥️
It’s so good to see you my dear. I’ve always said God has the perfect baby for you. It’s your life and your decision on what path you take to become parents. Wishing you the best and prayers headed your way!💕
I was just thinking of you two and hoping for an update. We all want this for you so badly. Best of luck 🤞💚
I remember you saying in a past video "one day when we're holding our baby this will all make sense."
I'm so excited for you that you've chosen another round of IVF.
If there was anyone I would want to wish every success to it would b u, praying for u ❤️
Ohhhh you’re lovely - thank you ❤️

I agree 100%, whatever their hearts tell them, that's what's best for them and their family and NO ONE should tell them anything different!

Ahhh love this comment! Cannot wait for the day. Thank you xx

Thanks for sharing your journey. I can understand it can be difficult and frustrating to keep trying but not succeed. IVF treatment is so expensive and it does not guarantee the ideal outcome we wanted. But don’t give up! I hope you will have good news! 💪🏼
Hi,
So happy you decided to try again
Kim
I'm starting ivf this year, your videos have been so helpful❤ I'm so glad you went with the path that felt right! I've had to do the same in my 4 years of infertility and its hard to explain my choices to others as well
Have missed you. You have been in my thoughts and prayers many times over these past 8 months.
Celeste, you are a wonderful woman. This is your story and you have to live it as you see fit. No one can give you an opinion, no one can tell you which is the best way. Only your heart can tell you that. For my part, I only wish you the best, that this longed-for child arrives to complete your beautiful family and to compensate for all your suffering. A thousand hugs
Sending you all my best wishes. I hope this cycle is it for you guys! 🙏💗
Thank you! 💕
This is amazing I wanted you guys to try another round of IVF, I pray for you guys to have a baby soon.
Oh Celeste. I followed your journey in the past and for some reason this video popped up as an alert this week. I hadn't thought about your story in a few years and I was really hoping ye had a family in that time. I'm sorry to hear its still an ongoing journey and all the hardships ye are having in your life. Good luck with this cycle.
There is an Irish instagrammer called Rosanna Davison. She is famous as she is a former Miss world and her father was Chris Deborah ( 80s pop singer). She had such a long journey to motherhood. Multiple miscarriages, eventually choosing surrogacy few years ago and has just recently carried and given birth to twins. I thought it might give you hope to know about her journey. She speaks quite openly about her journey and might be of interest to you. I am an ivf mum myself and its very difficult and lonely at times when your in the midst of it all. I wish ye the best.xx
I hope this is the one! You guys have more information then you did then too! So hopefully knowing what you know now it will make better results. I know people from my fertility group that had to do 6 or more cycles but now have mutinied children! It happens!
You and Tim are never far from my thoughts and prayers. Will be praying extra as you walk through this IVF protocol. So much love to you guys from the US ❤️
And will be keeping your dad in my prayers too. I am so sorry he continues to decline. He is lucky to have you, Celeste. And surely you make him proud!
Celeste I'm so sorry about your dad. Mnd is such an awful terrible disease. I'm thinking about your dad. I can't imagine seeing someone you love dearly decline in such a cruel way.
You are honestly the strongest person with everything you have had to deal with. I'm so proud of both you and Tim taking these steps to try another round of ivf. Sending all my good thoughts !! 🤞❤
I have been thinking of you! I was floored that you updated. My prayers are with you!!! I know you’re going to beat this battle.
It is so nice to hear from you again after all this time! I pray for your IVF cycle to be successful! And you will have an earth side baby in your arm in the end.
Nothing wrong with changing your mind. Prayers for you two during this journey. ❤
You've certainly had more than your fair share of hurdles along your journey. Just because you have options doesn't mean you have to take them. Do whatever you feel is best for you. Wishing you all the best and keeping my fingers crossed for you.
Thank you so much x
Never ever ever give up on your dreams. Ever.
Keeping all of you in my prayers.
Thank you for the update, as I'm not often on Instagram. I have checked on you and have seen how well your photography is going. You take the most beautiful pictures. I am glad you were able to move forward, and are following your heart. I am praying with all my heart that everything goes beautifully and that both you and Tim are able to find peace and calm during this process. I am sorry that your dad's health is declining, but am relieved for you that you are able to spend time with him and will keep your family in my prayers.
Oh I’m crossing all my fingers and toes for you! Are you planning on doing Q&A?
Hi, Celeste
You are very courageous for continuing! And good on you! I feel you definitely need to continue and don’t give up! I know poor Tim is as exhausted but things happen for a reason and trust me your reason will finally come to terms with you! God bless you my love keep safe!
I definitely know what that is like I’ve been trying for 25 years and I am now 45 and still struggling my insurance don’t pay for anything so I can’t do ivf treatments I tried clomid and letrozole but neither worked so I continue to try natural way
Thanks
I'm so sorry... sending love x
Thank you so much
Sending you all of the baby dust in the world Celeste. I will keep you & Tim in my prayers. ❤️
All the best for your journey. It’s really hard. After 9 years of infertility- I am finally 15 weeks pregnant. Long journey to go but we have had a long journey behind us too.
I'm so sorry to hear about your father.
I follow your photography business and the images are gorgeous I wish I lives there so I could hire you.
Your path is your path if genetics are important to you then Im so happy you're able to try again despite having that previous trauma. I hope this brings about a baby. You guys will make wonderful parents. You've waited so long. You'll never take any of it for granted. Your time is coming. I hope you're still friends with Liv so sorry that route didn't pan out I'm sure that's a strain on a friendship
I am incredibly EXCITED for you and Tim! Sending lots of prayers your way. Your videos really helped me during my ectopic pregnancy in December 2020 and TTC baby #2 for 3 years now. Love you! Can’t wait to see the upcoming videos. 💜💜💜
Best of luck for this cycle, hoping and praying for this cycle. 🙏
Very glad to hear your update as I would so much love to hear you have finally managed to have a baby and I know you were only updating and nobody else's opinion counts but glad to hear your going for it again so I wish the best of luck and love to both of you and lets hope it will be 3 of you soon love you so much take care and everything crossed for you xxx
Yay! Best of luck with this cycle! 💕💕💕💕 hope this is it! Xx
Thank you! Xx
I am so happy to see you posted a video. I totally understand where you are coming from. I am so happy for you & praying hard for positive results. Hang in there, stay positive & much love. Praying for your Dad as well. Take good care & keep smiling beautiful.
Cheering you on for your IVF cycle ❤ I am so sorry about your Dad 😥
Praying for you guys💗💗💗💗Happy to see you again Celeste….been thinking of you! So happy to hear you are choosing to continue the journey with IVF. Much Love as always!!!
I've been thinking about you alot lately I hope and pray 🙏🏽 you stay strong and don't give up and have faith God bless 💓😘
I have watched your journey since the start and couldn't think of a couple more deserving to be parents. It has been incredibly frustrating for us to watch as viewers of your years of disappointment and heartbreak. Everytime I've hoped and prayed this is the one for you. I truly hope this it 🙏🍀
Living this journey with you; thank you . Your strength gives us strength.
Sending you and your family a lot of prayers and positive thoughts for everything you've got going through right now.
Thank you ❤️
I completely understood when you said "we said the last cycle was going to be the last cycle". My husband and I said that too after 6 years of IVF failures we said "this is it, the last time". We were SO drained (in every sense of the word), but when that cycle also ended in failure we both just couldn't give up, we had to keep trying. I can tell you that we both say to each other every few days how happy we are that we didn't give up and that we didn't let what we said was our "last cycle" be our last. I just gave birth to our amazing baby boy in April. He truly is our miracle baby. I have been following you for many many years and I can relate to you in so many ways and I can tell you, I can not wait to cry tears of joy with you when you finally have your miracle baby in your arms!!!!
I hope this happens for you!! You deserve this more than anyone I can think of!! ❤️
You are such a sweet beautiful person. You sound so good, I’m so glad you are at peace with your decision. Your intuition is correct, don’t stop yet. Taking it one day at a time is such good advise to follow, get through the day and move on to what is next. I will pray for you, hang in there and thank you for sharing.
I am glad to see you follow your heart ❤️ whatever the future holds, whatever decision you make, I hope you will find your happiness. You deserve it so much! Fingers crossed and baby dust ✨✨✨
Thank you! x
You and your partner made such a brave decision ❤️ hoping for the absolute best for you and your family!
Your stunning eyes and beautiful heart has been missed here on TH-cam:) Take Care
I have been following your journey and I hope so so much you are successful. We’ve had two transfers and have miscarried both. Although the last one was very hard. We had a missed miscarriage at 10 weeks. I wish you guys all the luck in the world!
Good luck to you. I really hope this cycle is successful.
So glad to hear from you. My continued thoughts for you and Tim. Yes be kind to yourself. Its not an easy path. The hubby and I are facing a tough decision too. He is considered geriatic in the infertility world. Im getting close to that as well. We would want to make our little guy a sibling but we are not quite too sure
Wishing so many good wishes ♥️Your journey is amazing and heartbreaking at the same time. I see you as a mother … sending prayers!
Thank you 💕
My heart breaks for both of you with everything you guys have had to endure and the things you guys are STILL going through. 🙏I will keep you both in my heart and prayers and wish you all the love, happiness, and positivity possible! So very much love to you guys.
Thank you so much for your kind words and prayers xxx
@@TimandCeleste I wish I lived closer to you guys, I have thought long and hard after seeing couples such as yourselves going through these heartbreaking battles, and I truly want to become a surrogate. I want to help families who just want to be parents but their bodies are stubborn. I hope this doesn't come off as insensitive because I mean no disrespect or negativity in anyway. I truly do hope that things begin to look brighter for both of you very very soon! Please try not to lose hope, I know it must be extremely hard and I can't even pretend to know what you guys are going through, but if I can do anything to help, please let me know. Much love, happiness, and positivity!
You are so strong! Praying for you and this round of IVF♥️🙏🏼✨
So nice to see u back here… thats a good come back..
Good luck to you both for this cycle. I will keep my fingers and toes crossed for you. ❤
So glad to see you back! ❤
So glad to see you posting videos again! I have missed them. Glad you had what sounds like a much needed break though. Praying for you as you continue on this journey and for you as you care for your dad. I can't imagine how hard that must be. I can definitely relate to you saying that you are tired of talking about infertility...it can really feel depressing when you feel like all you share is bad news. I have felt the same and I haven't wanted to pick up my camera either. You sharing helps me feel less alone. Thanks as always Celeste.💜🙏
I have always looked up to you and Tim. You are doing the best for you and your family. Endless love and support being sent to you.
This is just heartbreaking. I wish you all the best and hope that some day your dreams will come true.
I have experienced secondaryinfertility for 6 years and sadly, the only thing that helped was the change of a partner. I then found out that was the thing that life had planned for me.
I wish you the best ❤...the hurt and dissapointent year after year is just so 😭😭.
Celeste…I will start praying for you every night. No one deserves it more than you and Tim…..
Thank you so so much! xx
Sending you lots of love, support and prayers. I can't wait to see your birth vlog. ❤
Thank you ❤️
I pray you get your little miracle this round Celeste x
You guys are always in my prayers I truly hope you get your little one soon
Currently waiting for you book to arrive! Sending you so much love. You deserve your little dream so so much.
I was thinking about you yesterday. So glad to see your face and hear your voice. It’s very calming🌬🧘🏾♀️✨
Wishing you and Tim nothing but the best with this cycle 💜💜💜
i cannot put into words how much my heart hurts for you. the longing to be a mother is something that constantly pulls at every fibre.

It’s so good to see you my dear. I’ve always said God has the perfect baby for you. It’s your life and your decision on what path you take to become parents. Wishing you the best and prayers headed your way!💕
Thank you 💕
