My Wife and I struggled with infertility for 5 years and finally, we are 6 months into a healthy, vibrant pregnancy! Please do not lose hope! We are rooting for you.
We didn’t have to go through IVF but another type of infertility. After a total of 11 years at 37 got pregnant and proud parents of our daughter now 34 and we have 2 grandsons so please don’t give up hope! It can happen!🙏🙏❤️
Its great that you share this. Wife and I tried for several years with ups and many downs. Lost some and wife had to get one tube removed due to it leaking. Had one healthy boy a year after that. We tried IVF again due to still having eggs but had no luck. Wife had surgery to remove endometriosis, we took a break and before trying IVF she became pregnant. Which they thought was amazing with one tube. We ended up having two boys without IVF. Wish you both all the best and don't lose hope.
Praying go to the Dominican Republic. They sell this bottles that real good. To become pregnant and takes away any cis helps the production system fast You won’t even need that treatment check on line
God bless you both for your hard work in trying to have a family, I am praying for you ! But no matter the outcome at least you are deeply in love and have each other ,some people never even find that special love to last a lifetime. Hoping for the result you’re wanting to come true!🙏🏻🤞🏻🍀❤
I am astounded by the strength and resilience you both have. Jesse I cannot begin to image how invasive and uncontrollable this must be and your ability to continue to remain hopeful is inspiring. Much love to both of you. Xoxo
Me too. I am so glad I don’t have kids…. It’s not for me…. I love my doggies…. But I want these two to have as many kids as they want! Rooting for you!
Childless dog mum but not by choice, PCOS & endometrial hyperplasia of the uterus with atypia, hysterectomy at 36. I’m crossing everything for Jessie & Alessio ❤
Went through IVF, low AMH, ovarian cyst, Endo - they retrieved 4 eggs, only 3 mature and 1 fertilized...that 1 is 5 years old today! Don't lose hope. Praying for you guys!
Those bad news can feel devastating. My amh was less than 0,03 after my endometriosis surgery. After several years of infertility and about six months after my surgery I got pregnant during the cycle before my scheduled ivf. Our healthy and happy daughter is now 17 months. Hoping for your miracle. ❤
You have both been on my mind since the IVF treatment in Italy. I thought you would be taking a break, given the emotional exhaustion. You've been so open educating us. I wish you all the best luck, health and happiness.
Hi I hope this brings you hope.Second ivf cycle.Only 2 follicles of decent size(5 in total),2 eggs,2 embyros.Double transfer day 3. Now have a beautiful 18 month old.Quality over quantity.I also have endometriosis and was 40 at the time.x
My AMH was ~1 this past round and we got 14 follicles - so you still have a chance of good follicle count 😘 These are all statistics and we have to stay positive through this process. Good luck in your journey 🥰
My amh was 0.14, first IVF they were able to extract 5 eggs, but the process wasn’t successful, second IVF during the extraction they were not able to find anything in the follicles. We went through handful of fertility doctors, one of them advised to stop IVF process because of low AMH as the odds were low vs all the medication and psychological burden, and try to conceive naturally. I’ve followed my ovulation days, and my miracle is now 3 years old.
She unfortunately can't become pregnant naturally since one of her reproductive organs (I am not a 100% sure which) had to be removed. She can still produce eggs and carry though🤞🫶
Hey! Just to give you some hope. I had severe stage 4 endo with cysts in both ovaries. I went into surgery to remove all of it and 2 months post op my amh was .75 before surgery it was 3.75!!!! I was devastated. I could not believe it took such a huge dip. My AFC was pre surgery was 17 post surgery was 11. But 5 months later it was 19!! Sometimes your body needs time. At the end of my egg retrievals I only got two embryos. And I’m currently 7 weeks pregnant. I did not think it was possible. But you got this!! Don’t lose hope.
I am a mom, a grandmother aged 69. I do remember being in my early 30's and wondering if I would ever get pregnant. I eventually did and we raised 2 wonderful sons. But in the process, I asked myself some hard questions. I think a lot of people just focus on getting pregnant and the pregnancy, but really that is the smallest part. The biggest part is raising a child for the rest of your life. No matter how you create your family, once you bring home that baby, that baby is EVERYTHING. And how that baby got there, is kind of inconsequential. You are both wonderful people and will make fantastic parents if that is your choosing. Whatever happens, I have no doubt your lives are going to be spectacular.
My AMH was .02. They were able to extract 7 follicles after TONS of high meds, 5 made it through fertilization. They put 2 back and I have a 10 yo miracle. It can happen! Sending love and prayers for your miracle. ❤
Also, just an fyi for consideration, they do have egg donors. Still Alessio “contributes,” then it’s implanted into Jesse, so it’s created from your body. It’s a great alternative I’d looked into in case my own eggs didn’t work for me.
You are both amazing.. Not only supporting people going through the same thing but also educating people who have never experienced this. My thoughts and prayers are with you both.
I’m not at all a religious person anymore, but I found myself tearing up and praying for you guys. This has been such a roller coaster, and you’ve been so brave and vulnerable. Sharing your joys and struggles so openly is helping more people than you know 💜 Wishing you both all the best luck. You would be, will be, amazing parents. Sending you all the healthiest, baby sticking thoughts. However your family building journey unfolds, please know you aren’t alone. You are cared for and appreciated by so many people. 💜 Praying again for your miracle ✨
You guys are doing wonderful work by sharing your journey. This helps so many people going through the same thing. On a different note, have you seen in the comments how many people are praying for you? You have a prayer army helping you!!! ❤️❤️❤️
My heart goes out to you both. You are so correct that each person’s journey is their own choice. We had a 20 year journey to get our first and I’m currently pregnant with our second. It took us three different clinics with a long break in between clinics one and two. At the third clinic I learned it was best to put my energy into the current step and take things one at a time.
We had family friends, a young couple like yourselves, (& Italian, too :) who for 8 years tried to conceive naturally & thru IVF, without luck. There were also some endometrial complications that caused two miscarriages, sadly. They finally accepted that they had done all that they could & moved on with life. One morning she woke up feeling sick with flu & surprise - she was pregnant. 😮!? And shortly after giving birth to their daughter, mom became pregnant again with another girl. So, you never know what may happen. Keep the faith. I will keep you both in my thoughts, for good luck! 🤞
I am 35. Currently pregnant with twins ( indentical). Did IVF in Serbia but we also live in US. My AMH was 0.8. Two surgeries of endometriosis- plus another during last miscarriage due to same cyst you have now. My bursted and caused internal bleeding. Had to have surgery plus D&C. 8 months later we did IVF. 6 eggs retrieved. Fresh transfer of 3 embryos and one stuck. And decided to divide and give us twins. IVF is hard it’s very hard but don’t look at the numbers - don’t read statistics. My AMH in May was 0.96 and in July 0.8 makes no sense but it doesn’t matter. One thing about endo- during stimulation not all eggs mature in the same time- that’s why I had only 6. My ultrasound showed 13 before but when time came that’s all we got. So don’t worry.
I also have Hashimoto and am on thyroid meds- to add to all risk factors. You need just one embryo that’s all. Trust God and your body. Do proper supplements - NAC, CoQ10 600mg daily, prenatal , green tea, magnesium. I was on this protocol for 6 months. Btw alpha lipoic acid with B6 and magnesium can help with this cyst. I was on this protocol for my hematoma during first few weeks of pregnancy.
This is a very personal topic... but I want to share my experience that I had with my wife. My wife and I had 4 rounds of IVF maybe 5... so when you say you don't know what some means... eventually you will if you are on this journey long enough. My experience comes from 18 years ago which today my daughter is going to college now. We had one of the top clinics which we failed over and over again. We had both live cycles and frozen cycles. Our success came when our doctor talked to one of the leading doctors who used a very old procedure involving the drug Lupron. The doctor who gave this formula to our doctor was not on our insurance so I did pay for my wife to see him once. My doctor was a skeptic of this treatment but he had pretty much given up. On this treatment my wife produced 12 follicles. A much better result compared to other drugs. We froze half of them. The frozen cycle actually worked. My advice to both of you is to seek additional doctors because one solution does not seem to fit for all.
@@Yaa7700jeez, I hope so!! I’ve been saying this over and over in the comments, hoping they will see it! Lupron suppression priming is how most fertility clinics handle bad endometriosis! So I’m like… why aren’t they trying that! I hope this is what they are doing!!
La condivisione del vostro percorso è estremamente importante per persone che lo hanno vissuto o lo stanno ancora vivendo. Grazie di cuore. Vi auguro il meglio. Spero che il vostro miracolo arrivi presto.
Momma of IVF twins here- I just wanted to reach out and say my heart and prayers are with you two. I know it’s hard to not get caught up into the numbers and statistics of everything along the journey. My “poor quality” eggs took and resulted in healthy babies. There was a 2% chance for identical twins. And guess what it happened(it later didn’t develop). Moral of the story, keep going! There is hope regardless of what numbers and scary things they present you with! BABY DUST TO YOU!!!
Currently pregnant after IVF with only one ovary. I also have a hydrosalpinx, and a history of ovarian cysts greater than 10 cm which required multiple surgeries. Definitely hasn’t been an easy journey, but I’m happy with how things turned out.
Yall are in my prayers. We’ve followed parts of your journey, mostly the last four or five months, and hope that in the end everything works out the way everybody wants it to. Sadly, fortune telling is not in my resume, but I have a kernel of eternal hope for yall in my heart. Take good care of yourselves in the meantime, that includes you Alessio. All our love.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Please don’t be discouraged because of the AMH levels. Out of all my friends, my friend with the lowest AMH retrieved the most number of eggs - 30! My AMH was higher at 0.8 and I retrieved 18 eggs. Stay positive! Wishing you two the best! ❤
@@lisakukla459 she ended up with 10. And I ended up with 7. The ratio of eggs to embryos is so different too! Every body is so unique so it’s so hard to rely on stats and averages on what you’ll end up with.
Wow, I wonder how that‘s possible! My AMH is 0.2, I did 2 IVFs so far and each egg retrieval resulted in just one egg per cycle, which unfortunately didn‘t lead to success. How low was her AMH?
Thank you so much for being so transparent and open about your endometriosis. Awareness is so important. Not only that, but it’s a real help to people like me who also struggle highly with endometriosis. Rooting for you and sending prayers out for you both on your fertility journey
I cannot even imagine how hard it is to live with the constant thought and follow-ups regarding this life-altering situation.I hope you have the strength to seek your desire and accept and deal with the challenges that come out of this journey ❤️
You guys are great for talking about this entire process. Shout out to Alessio for being by Jessi's side through all of this. It is a lot for both parties and I love seeing you both support each other!! You are a strong woman, Jessi, sending you all of the luck in the world
Aww…sweetheart. I want to just give you a hug. I can feel your stress through the screen. I hope that you can find a way to just sit back, say a prayer and leave it in Gods hands. You never know how things might turn out. But they will definitely turn out how they are supposed to. Much love ❤
Thank you for posting these videos! I wish I’d had you guys to look to for support when I was going through IVF! I’ve been feeling down and disillusioned recently and seeing you handle hardship with such grace and positivity has really given me a boost! No matter what happens, I’m sure you have a wonderful life ahead of you! And you never know, it only takes one - I had low AMH, three eggs collected and one little embryo that is now a three year old boy.
I think my ovarian age was 11 or 12 at 37. 2 embryos 1st IVF (no success), 4-5 follicles, 4 embryos; all transferred; 1 baby, 2nd IVF. Then when she was 2, got pregnant w/ our son. Had him the month after I turned 40!😮😮😮prayers for you guys!!!
I took tons of meds to get the 4-5 follicles. My fertility dr said I'm probably "in my last few mos of fertility ". Fast forward 2.5 yrs and that's when I got pregnant NATURALLY.
I have been praying for you. I hear the pain in your voice as you share your journey. May the Lord grant you the desire of your heart and you are able to have a healthy baby.
Please do videos on anything until the next IVF update! I love you guys, you bring a bright light to my day when I see your content! We love you guys!!!
Praying for you both. My wife has pcos and we struggled for 3 years trying all sorts of things. We did one month of carnivore diet and 2 weeks into that we she got pregnant. Worth a try.
I'm looking at one of my rainbow babies play as I listen to this in my earbud. I have the most amazing anonymous woman to thank for my beautiful family; endometriosis ruined all my eggs by 18, with puberty at 16. I know you two will find what feels right for your family. Just know that I worried my whole first pregnancy that I would be bothered that they aren't genetically mine. Any doubt faded the second I held the baby who made me a mama. ❤
@@raez7155 It absolutely is! I will eventually donate the remainder of mine. The waiting list for embroys was 8 years when I started, so I purchased eggs and semen and they made embryos that way. That's why I hope they continue to seek other means of becoming parents. When you want it that badly, you're already doing so much more than millions of parents do daily. And honestly, I never planned to use my own eggs, even as a young teenager when I thought it would be a possibility, as I have a number of serious illnesses I never wanted to pass on. Today, there are so many different ways to build a family; and I'm incredibly grateful for that!!
You are stronger than me. All those tests and exhaustion. I love you guys and I hope you have success, but so much work, pain, money - I feel for you both.
We went through the IVF thing, too and have a fifteen year old son from it. My daughter came two years later with exactly no additional effort. It's odd how things go, but you'll get there. Keep the faith and thank you for sharing your journey.
My cousin had a similar experience. They were married almost 20 years and finally got pregnant with help. Their daughter wasn’t even 2 when she got pregnant again „naturally“
Highly recommend you read the book “it starts with the egg”. I have been on this journey for 5 years and that book gave me many many lightbulb moments. It is basically just a research paper about all of this. Don’t get discouraged!! Every month brings new hope. Just know by sharing y’all are giving lots of hope to many and education.
I’m thinking about you both and sending you positive vibes. I’m in the middle of a really long ivf process and am working through my own health struggles while waiting for my FET. We all have our own struggles and journeys, wishing you guys the best! Stay positive
With every part of my heart, I hope and pray that this next retrieval, whenever it is, is successful. And even more than that, I'm so thankful that the two of you have remained a true team and are okay with whatever this next chapter brings. In my experience, that changes from day to day sometimes, so please give yourselves and each other grace as you sit with all that life has thrown your way. Sending you prayers and all the hope your hearts can hold.
One of my friend had zero AMH ,She had almost everything that you had,endometriosis,cyst rupture also,they were on IVF journey and when the doctor said there is no chance, She got pregnant naturally like a miracle 😍 Please never give up,some little angel is waiting for the moment to come to you and choose you for his/her parents!! Keep loving each other and everything will be allright!!! I will keep thinking about You!! 🥰❤️❤️
What a freaking roller coaster ride you guys have been through. You are so much stronger than I ever would have been. May God continue to be with you in this journey
Your positivity throughout the process helps everyone who is struggling with any type of challenge life may throw at them. The way you keep moving forward and your support of each other is amazing. I pray that whatever the outcome you will be blessed with joy throughout your life together.
Just finished watching the entire clip. I hope you do research accupuncture in helping fertility problems as well as endometriosis treatment good luck to you both.
I'm absolutely rooting for you both. I'm in my second cycle, and struggling much less with complicating issues like low reserve etc, and it's already so hard. I can't imagine having the setbacks you've come across, and staying as positive as you are. I hope you finally get some good news in all this!
Praying for you guys! Also, side note, Jessi looked STUNNING in that last clip - not sure what it was... the hair, the shirt, the makeup, or the natural beauty!
Hellooo from the UK 🇬🇧 I had an unexpected and unknown ruptured ovarian cyst back in 2017, since then every time I ovulated it caused immense pain, we had been trying for 2 years with no luck. I had a lap and dye test on December 12th 2018 they found endometriosis and cut it away and referred us to fertility…but..January 12th 2019 after weeks of feeling “symptoms” we got the positive test! Daughter Valentina born in the Sept 2019 and later had another surprise, a son Liam in Feb 2021! Ever since that ruptured cyst I’ve had very painful ovulation every month, that is my story but you both have been on a much longer and harder journey than me, I hold out hope for you both that you will have your little bambino in the future! ❤ xx
2019 at 31 yo before my firstborn my amh was 0.9,told there was no way of conceiving naturaly,they put me on Cikloproginova to start IVF,became pregnant with twins naturally next month,unfortunately lost one pretty early on in pregnancy but have a healthy boy who will be 5 in a month. Got pregnant again after one year first try, healthy boy who is now 3 years old.Weren't planning on having more kids than last year at 35yo was told because of some cyst to check on amh and it was 0.3, was put on Cikloproginova and got pregnant with twins who are now healthy three months old,a boy and a girl. My endocrinologist told me that AMH is just a number,no one takes it seriously anymore,ultrasound is much more realiable way of knowing how many eggs you got. I wish for you the same journey and outcome- 4 kids 😜❤️
I'm so sorry you guys are going through this roller coaster of emotions. You both would be such great parents. I hope there is some way your dream will come true.
My AMH was 0.4, at 39 yo. Then I had a pregnancy without treatment but ended in a misscarriage. 1.3 years after the AMH test (so, surely with AMH lower than 0.4) we had an egg retrieval and I produced 13 eggs, sent 4 embryos to PGT, one came genetically ok and I am now 35 weeks pregnant. If your heart says go on, go on.
IVF is so hard. Thank you for sharing. I was lucky enough to have success but I’m still dealing with the trauma that came with the process. Three years ago, I decided to move forward with having a child as a single mom by choice. My AMH was 2.3, 17 follicles - everything looked great so I tried IUI before going to IVF. No luck until my 5th IUI, which unfortunately ended in a missed miscarriage. During that cycle, the nurse told me I had what looked like an endometrioma on my right ovary. I had scheduled an appointment with the practice’s endo specialist, ‘just in case’ my pregnancy didn’t go to term. Thankfully I didn’t cancel it - I found out the pregnancy wasn’t viable on Wednesday, saw the specialist on Friday, he did my D&C on Tuesday, then had endo surgery 7 weeks later. They removed a 6cm cyst, removed adhesions from my ureters, my colon, ovaries etc., removed DIEs, excised a softball sized piece of my peritoneum. Crazy as I really didn’t have symptoms. 9 weeks later I did my first egg retrieval. My AMH had dropped to 1.3, I only retrieved 9 eggs and ended up with 1 embryo. I did a second ER, this one gave me 8 eggs but 3 embryos, one of which became my 4 month old daughter.
I've recently started seeing your videos and I've really enjoyed your content. So far everything I was watching was food related and now BAM. This is a pretty serious and highly personal topic, and a very difficult one to put out in the open online for the world to see. I applaud you both for sharing this highly personal experience with us all. I really am cheering for you both and hope you get good news and this IVF process works for you. Also, I love your cat. I've always had a black cat at various times in my life. I love the part where you're sitting there talking about all the follicle, egg, cyst, and IVF stuff and the cat is just sitting behind you looking salty and angry at the world lol. Kind of lightens the mood.
I appreciate you sharing this. I'm totally out of the loop in what the AMH is all about and I am learning about IVF which is something I knew very little about. I'm 71, was diagnosed with endo when I was just 19 and had a miscarriage at 22. I had exploratory surgery at 30 to assess my endo situation (I had always had such severe cramps starting at age 11). I had widespread endo and they put me on 6 months of Danocrin (I think that's how it's spelled) which stopped my month cycles. Without intervention, I got pregnant at 32 and gave birth to my only child the day before my 33rd birthday. When my son was 4 1/2 years old, I had to have a hysterectomy with 3 other surgeries at the same time (none of it due to the endo). I wish you well and hope you get great news. I will be looking at more of your videos in order to get more information on your journey and more about endo and the AMH. Thank you.
My AMH is 0.2. I found out that when I was 35 after a couple years of trying without a success. No doctor had told me to do this test, I didn't even know it existed. So that was shocking. We tried IVF with my eggs once and we got one, low-quality embrio so of course it didn't go well. Apart from that I was as fit as a fiddle so we kept trying to conceive naturally. And no success. I was down in the dumbs. But I really, really wanted to have a baby, be pregnant, experience all of this just once in my life. And one doctor suggested that we might get an egg from a donor. I don't really care about my genes, I just wanted the donor to have similar phenotype to mine. And now I'm 38, pregnant and my due date is in february! I can feel my daughter move inside me and I already love her very, very much. It took me one year to make this decision but this is the best decision in my life. My family and close friends know that the egg wasn't mine but they are very supportive, accepted it and are looking forward to meeting our little baby. And of course she is mine. The egg was just a tiny piece, I'm making her body, bones, everything with my blood. So ragazzi... there is always a chance and hope...
Great story! I did the same, but due to genetic reasons.... I'm pregnant, early stage, a bit scared after losses and 1st unsuccessful round... But have hope
Wow what a roller coaster!! Y’all are being so strong through all of this; I am so glad you two have each other in this journey. I mean, I know it wouldn’t make sense for you to be on this journey without each other, but yeah. Praying for a good outcome! ❤
I’m sorry you’re going through this. I had my first retrieval last month - I have a low AMH (0.22) and 7 follicles after stim. They managed to retrieve 4 eggs, fertilised 3 and 2 made it to blast. Be hopeful, in the end you only need one ❤
I’m a single, childless woman age 39. I focused on my education and career and never ended up finding a situation that led to a family. I’m rooting for you both. I trust God and I know you do, too. I believe God is bringing you through and has a plan through this all. I love you both and know good things are coming. ❤
hopefully this will be successful but if not it will feel amazing to put this behind you and live the life you have and relish in your blessings. Been there done that and it is so freeing to let it go.
I'm praying everything goes the way you want it to. Both of you have been so selfless and open about your journey to have a baby. God has a plan for you. Stay open-minded to it. Always do what's in your hearts. Peace to both of you. ❤
My Wife and I struggled with infertility for 5 years and finally, we are 6 months into a healthy, vibrant pregnancy! Please do not lose hope! We are rooting for you.
Thank you for giving us all hope ❤
We didn’t have to go through IVF but another type of infertility. After a total of 11 years at 37 got pregnant and proud parents of our daughter now 34 and we have 2 grandsons so please don’t give up hope! It can happen!🙏🙏❤️
That’s great, but not everyone can fall pregnant naturally.
My cousin went through every therapy for 8 years and they adopted....Then got pregnant.
Love this for you
The sweetest couple on the "inter webs". Sending all good vibes your way.
Its great that you share this. Wife and I tried for several years with ups and many downs. Lost some and wife had to get one tube removed due to it leaking. Had one healthy boy a year after that. We tried IVF again due to still having eggs but had no luck. Wife had surgery to remove endometriosis, we took a break and before trying IVF she became pregnant. Which they thought was amazing with one tube. We ended up having two boys without IVF. Wish you both all the best and don't lose hope.
Amazing! 🧬🧪🔬
It's so nice to hear a husband speak about this. Everyone thinks it's only emotional for just the woman. But it's not men get disappointed too.
Praying go to the Dominican Republic. They sell this bottles that real good. To become pregnant and takes away any cis helps the production system fast You won’t even need that treatment check on line
God bless you both for your hard work in trying to have a family, I am praying for you ! But no matter the outcome at least you are deeply in love and have each other ,some people never even find that special love to last a lifetime. Hoping for the result you’re wanting to come true!🙏🏻🤞🏻🍀❤
I am astounded by the strength and resilience you both have. Jesse I cannot begin to image how invasive and uncontrollable this must be and your ability to continue to remain hopeful is inspiring. Much love to both of you. Xoxo
Here I am a childless, dog-lady (by choice), rooting for 2 people I don't even know personally to have a healthy baby.
Me too. I am so glad I don’t have kids…. It’s not for me…. I love my doggies…. But I want these two to have as many kids as they want! Rooting for you!
Right there with ya sisters!
Same! Child free by choice and rooting for them! ❤
Childless dog mum but not by choice, PCOS & endometrial hyperplasia of the uterus with atypia, hysterectomy at 36. I’m crossing everything for Jessie & Alessio ❤
Good things come to those that wait. Stay positive.
Went through IVF, low AMH, ovarian cyst, Endo - they retrieved 4 eggs, only 3 mature and 1 fertilized...that 1 is 5 years old today! Don't lose hope. Praying for you guys!
Those bad news can feel devastating. My amh was less than 0,03 after my endometriosis surgery. After several years of infertility and about six months after my surgery I got pregnant during the cycle before my scheduled ivf. Our healthy and happy daughter is now 17 months. Hoping for your miracle. ❤
I think she has fellopian tubes removed so it is impossible for them to get pregnant like you did
You have both been on my mind since the IVF treatment in Italy. I thought you would be taking a break, given the emotional exhaustion. You've been so open educating us. I wish you all the best luck, health and happiness.
This is most likely from the summer, but posted it now.
Hi I hope this brings you hope.Second ivf cycle.Only 2 follicles of decent size(5 in total),2 eggs,2 embyros.Double transfer day 3. Now have a beautiful 18 month old.Quality over quantity.I also have endometriosis and was 40 at the time.x
Damn, that sounds like a miracle baby with Endo at 40. Congratulations 🎉.
This is promising! 🤞🏼
Also, congratulations!!
Hi, YES quality over quality. (I have been through several fresh IVF cycles). Crossing fingers!!
❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Your community is rooting for you. All our prayers and the best energy!
My daughter and son-in-law Did the IVF journey. We were so sad with each failure, but we now have two wonderful grandsons!!! They were worth the wait!
My AMH was ~1 this past round and we got 14 follicles - so you still have a chance of good follicle count 😘 These are all statistics and we have to stay positive through this process. Good luck in your journey 🥰
My amh was 0.14, first IVF they were able to extract 5 eggs, but the process wasn’t successful, second IVF during the extraction they were not able to find anything in the follicles. We went through handful of fertility doctors, one of them advised to stop IVF process because of low AMH as the odds were low vs all the medication and psychological burden, and try to conceive naturally. I’ve followed my ovulation days, and my miracle is now 3 years old.
She unfortunately can't become pregnant naturally since one of her reproductive organs (I am not a 100% sure which) had to be removed. She can still produce eggs and carry though🤞🫶
Great to hear but Jessie cannot get pregnant without IVF, she had to have her fallopian tubes removed.
How old were you when your amh was O.14?
@@alexandrastr8878 didn’t know that, is there a video where they speak about this a little bit more?
@@Icalldibsinthis 32, I was post chemotherapy/bone marrow transplant, which resulted in increased infertility
Hey! Just to give you some hope. I had severe stage 4 endo with cysts in both ovaries. I went into surgery to remove all of it and 2 months post op my amh was .75 before surgery it was 3.75!!!! I was devastated. I could not believe it took such a huge dip. My AFC was pre surgery was 17 post surgery was 11. But 5 months later it was 19!! Sometimes your body needs time. At the end of my egg retrievals I only got two embryos. And I’m currently 7 weeks pregnant. I did not think it was possible. But you got this!! Don’t lose hope.
Wishing you health and happiness
I am a mom, a grandmother aged 69. I do remember being in my early 30's and wondering if I would ever get pregnant. I eventually did and we raised 2 wonderful sons. But in the process, I asked myself some hard questions. I think a lot of people just focus on getting pregnant and the pregnancy, but really that is the smallest part. The biggest part is raising a child for the rest of your life. No matter how you create your family, once you bring home that baby, that baby is EVERYTHING. And how that baby got there, is kind of inconsequential. You are both wonderful people and will make fantastic parents if that is your choosing. Whatever happens, I have no doubt your lives are going to be spectacular.
My AMH was .02. They were able to extract 7 follicles after TONS of high meds, 5 made it through fertilization. They put 2 back and I have a 10 yo miracle. It can happen! Sending love and prayers for your miracle. ❤
Also, just an fyi for consideration, they do have egg donors. Still Alessio “contributes,” then it’s implanted into Jesse, so it’s created from your body. It’s a great alternative I’d looked into in case my own eggs didn’t work for me.
Here to support on your journey, Wife and I tried for 3 years... now we are 13weeks in to a pregnancy. Loudly rooting for you guys
You are both amazing.. Not only supporting people going through the same thing but also educating people who have never experienced this. My thoughts and prayers are with you both.
I’m not at all a religious person anymore, but I found myself tearing up and praying for you guys. This has been such a roller coaster, and you’ve been so brave and vulnerable. Sharing your joys and struggles so openly is helping more people than you know 💜
Wishing you both all the best luck. You would be, will be, amazing parents. Sending you all the healthiest, baby sticking thoughts. However your family building journey unfolds, please know you aren’t alone. You are cared for and appreciated by so many people. 💜 Praying again for your miracle ✨
You guys are doing wonderful work by sharing your journey. This helps so many people going through the same thing. On a different note, have you seen in the comments how many people are praying for you? You have a prayer army helping you!!! ❤️❤️❤️
You two deserve so much to be parents. Good luck!
My heart goes out to you both. You are so correct that each person’s journey is their own choice. We had a 20 year journey to get our first and I’m currently pregnant with our second. It took us three different clinics with a long break in between clinics one and two. At the third clinic I learned it was best to put my energy into the current step and take things one at a time.
We had family friends, a young couple like yourselves, (& Italian, too :) who for 8 years tried to conceive naturally & thru IVF, without luck. There were also some endometrial complications that caused two miscarriages, sadly. They finally accepted that they had done all that they could & moved on with life. One morning she woke up feeling sick with flu & surprise - she was pregnant. 😮!? And shortly after giving birth to their daughter, mom became pregnant again with another girl. So, you never know what may happen. Keep the faith. I will keep you both in my thoughts, for good luck! 🤞
I am 35. Currently pregnant with twins ( indentical). Did IVF in Serbia but we also live in US. My AMH was 0.8. Two surgeries of endometriosis- plus another during last miscarriage due to same cyst you have now. My bursted and caused internal bleeding. Had to have surgery plus D&C. 8 months later we did IVF. 6 eggs retrieved. Fresh transfer of 3 embryos and one stuck. And decided to divide and give us twins. IVF is hard it’s very hard but don’t look at the numbers - don’t read statistics. My AMH in May was 0.96 and in July 0.8 makes no sense but it doesn’t matter. One thing about endo- during stimulation not all eggs mature in the same time- that’s why I had only 6. My ultrasound showed 13 before but when time came that’s all we got. So don’t worry.
I also have Hashimoto and am on thyroid meds- to add to all risk factors. You need just one embryo that’s all. Trust God and your body.
Do proper supplements - NAC, CoQ10 600mg daily, prenatal , green tea, magnesium. I was on this protocol for 6 months. Btw alpha lipoic acid with B6 and magnesium can help with this cyst. I was on this protocol for my hematoma during first few weeks of pregnancy.
This is a very personal topic... but I want to share my experience that I had with my wife. My wife and I had 4 rounds of IVF maybe 5... so when you say you don't know what some means... eventually you will if you are on this journey long enough. My experience comes from 18 years ago which today my daughter is going to college now. We had one of the top clinics which we failed over and over again. We had both live cycles and frozen cycles. Our success came when our doctor talked to one of the leading doctors who used a very old procedure involving the drug Lupron.
The doctor who gave this formula to our doctor was not on our insurance so I did pay for my wife to see him once. My doctor was a skeptic of this treatment but he had pretty much given up. On this treatment my wife produced 12 follicles. A much better result compared to other drugs. We froze half of them. The frozen cycle actually worked. My advice to both of you is to seek additional doctors because one solution does not seem to fit for all.
It sounds like they are having Jessie do Lupron for a month.
That's a fascinating story. This whole process is amazing to me.
@@Yaa7700jeez, I hope so!! I’ve been saying this over and over in the comments, hoping they will see it! Lupron suppression priming is how most fertility clinics handle bad endometriosis! So I’m like… why aren’t they trying that! I hope this is what they are doing!!
Yes! Heard great results with Lupron! 🙌🏻
@@Sunnydreamer1470 My understanding its about the dosages which makes the difference
La condivisione del vostro percorso è estremamente importante per persone che lo hanno vissuto o lo stanno ancora vivendo. Grazie di cuore. Vi auguro il meglio. Spero che il vostro miracolo arrivi presto.
You guys are so strong and brave and optimistic. I truly admire you both.
Momma of IVF twins here- I just wanted to reach out and say my heart and prayers are with you two. I know it’s hard to not get caught up into the numbers and statistics of everything along the journey. My “poor quality” eggs took and resulted in healthy babies. There was a 2% chance for identical twins. And guess what it happened(it later didn’t develop). Moral of the story, keep going! There is hope regardless of what numbers and scary things they present you with! BABY DUST TO YOU!!!
Praying so hard for you guys
Sending many prayers for you both! Keep the faith!
Currently pregnant after IVF with only one ovary. I also have a hydrosalpinx, and a history of ovarian cysts greater than 10 cm which required multiple surgeries. Definitely hasn’t been an easy journey, but I’m happy with how things turned out.
I'm so happy for you😘
In prayer dear family - with God nothing is impossible. 🙏🙏🙏
Guys you are perfect the way you are … keep going .. the SKY is your limit
Yall are in my prayers. We’ve followed parts of your journey, mostly the last four or five months, and hope that in the end everything works out the way everybody wants it to. Sadly, fortune telling is not in my resume, but I have a kernel of eternal hope for yall in my heart. Take good care of yourselves in the meantime, that includes you Alessio. All our love.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Please don’t be discouraged because of the AMH levels. Out of all my friends, my friend with the lowest AMH retrieved the most number of eggs - 30! My AMH was higher at 0.8 and I retrieved 18 eggs. Stay positive! Wishing you two the best! ❤
Whoa 30!? How many embryos do you get from a big batch like that?
Thank you so much for sharing this. Amh is a relatively newfound hormone. Theres so much we didnt know yet about.
@@lisakukla459 she ended up with 10. And I ended up with 7. The ratio of eggs to embryos is so different too! Every body is so unique so it’s so hard to rely on stats and averages on what you’ll end up with.
Hey my amh is low too, I wish I could get that many eggs and make many embryos.
Wow, I wonder how that‘s possible! My AMH is 0.2, I did 2 IVFs so far and each egg retrieval resulted in just one egg per cycle, which unfortunately didn‘t lead to success. How low was her AMH?
Thank you so much for being so transparent and open about your endometriosis. Awareness is so important. Not only that, but it’s a real help to people like me who also struggle highly with endometriosis. Rooting for you and sending prayers out for you both on your fertility journey
I cannot even imagine how hard it is to live with the constant thought and follow-ups regarding this life-altering situation.I hope you have the strength to seek your desire and accept and deal with the challenges that come out of this journey ❤️
Well said! ❤️
You guys are great for talking about this entire process. Shout out to Alessio for being by Jessi's side through all of this. It is a lot for both parties and I love seeing you both support each other!! You are a strong woman, Jessi, sending you all of the luck in the world
Aww…sweetheart. I want to just give you a hug. I can feel your stress through the screen. I hope that you can find a way to just sit back, say a prayer and leave it in Gods hands. You never know how things might turn out. But they will definitely turn out how they are supposed to. Much love ❤
Thank you for posting these videos! I wish I’d had you guys to look to for support when I was going through IVF! I’ve been feeling down and disillusioned recently and seeing you handle hardship with such grace and positivity has really given me a boost! No matter what happens, I’m sure you have a wonderful life ahead of you! And you never know, it only takes one - I had low AMH, three eggs collected and one little embryo that is now a three year old boy.
I think my ovarian age was 11 or 12 at 37. 2 embryos 1st IVF (no success), 4-5 follicles, 4 embryos; all transferred; 1 baby, 2nd IVF. Then when she was 2, got pregnant w/ our son. Had him the month after I turned 40!😮😮😮prayers for you guys!!!
I took tons of meds to get the 4-5 follicles. My fertility dr said I'm probably "in my last few mos of fertility ". Fast forward 2.5 yrs and that's when I got pregnant NATURALLY.
Thank you for sharing your story! Fingers crossed for all great news moving forward.
I have been praying for you. I hear the pain in your voice as you share your journey. May the Lord grant you the desire of your heart and you are able to have a healthy baby.
Please do videos on anything until the next IVF update! I love you guys, you bring a bright light to my day when I see your content! We love you guys!!!
Praying for you both. My wife has pcos and we struggled for 3 years trying all sorts of things. We did one month of carnivore diet and 2 weeks into that we she got pregnant. Worth a try.
I'm looking at one of my rainbow babies play as I listen to this in my earbud. I have the most amazing anonymous woman to thank for my beautiful family; endometriosis ruined all my eggs by 18, with puberty at 16. I know you two will find what feels right for your family. Just know that I worried my whole first pregnancy that I would be bothered that they aren't genetically mine. Any doubt faded the second I held the baby who made me a mama. ❤
Embryo adoption is an amazing option for mamas who don't have enough or high quality eggs.
🥹🥰
@@raez7155 It absolutely is! I will eventually donate the remainder of mine. The waiting list for embroys was 8 years when I started, so I purchased eggs and semen and they made embryos that way.
That's why I hope they continue to seek other means of becoming parents. When you want it that badly, you're already doing so much more than millions of parents do daily. And honestly, I never planned to use my own eggs, even as a young teenager when I thought it would be a possibility, as I have a number of serious illnesses I never wanted to pass on. Today, there are so many different ways to build a family; and I'm incredibly grateful for that!!
You are stronger than me. All those tests and exhaustion. I love you guys and I hope you have success, but so much work, pain, money - I feel for you both.
I am praying that this works for y'all! I think the good news that y'all have received is a sign of hope!
Thank you for sharing your journey. Hoping for a positive outcome for you both.
Just FYI, a low vitamin D (going into winter) can cause a false low reading on AMH. I’m rooting for you two! 💕
Yes you us should take 10IU of vitamin D in winter.
So true!
And to pair vitamin k with it no?
@@Yostamps85yes k2 and magnesium
@@lilnbigmanu mean 10,000IU right? cos 10IU is like nothing.
so much love and support for you ❤
We went through the IVF thing, too and have a fifteen year old son from it. My daughter came two years later with exactly no additional effort. It's odd how things go, but you'll get there. Keep the faith and thank you for sharing your journey.
My cousin had a similar experience. They were married almost 20 years and finally got pregnant with help. Their daughter wasn’t even 2 when she got pregnant again „naturally“
Please don't lose hope. We are praying for you and you seem to deserve all the best and be successful in this exhausting journey. Kisses from Portugal
Praying for you and the doctors
Praying for you and hoping you remain healthy and happy and that wonderful things are in your future.🙏🏻🩵🙏🏻
Highly recommend you read the book “it starts with the egg”. I have been on this journey for 5 years and that book gave me many many lightbulb moments. It is basically just a research paper about all of this. Don’t get discouraged!! Every month brings new hope. Just know by sharing y’all are giving lots of hope to many and education.
My husband and I are 2 years into our journey to conceive. Finally got to meet with RE to start treatment. Thinking of you and rooting for us all!
Sending you best wishes😘
Hey Jesse and Alessio praying for you both.
You 2 are amazing in this journey. Like you said....one step at a time. God bless you both
I’m thinking about you both and sending you positive vibes. I’m in the middle of a really long ivf process and am working through my own health struggles while waiting for my FET.
We all have our own struggles and journeys, wishing you guys the best! Stay positive
Currently in the middle of our second round of IVF and I’m really rooting for you guys!
With every part of my heart, I hope and pray that this next retrieval, whenever it is, is successful. And even more than that, I'm so thankful that the two of you have remained a true team and are okay with whatever this next chapter brings. In my experience, that changes from day to day sometimes, so please give yourselves and each other grace as you sit with all that life has thrown your way. Sending you prayers and all the hope your hearts can hold.
Prayers for successful IVF. I am not familiar with the process but God is. ❤
I've been there. Keep the faith. God Bless You Both!!
Thank you for being so brave to share these videos. There are many silent travelers with you on this journey and you are giving us a voice. ❤
Yay!!! 5 good follicles !!!! 🥰 wow that’s great!!!! Keep smiling your immune system loves happy vibes!
One of my friend had zero AMH ,She had almost everything that you had,endometriosis,cyst rupture also,they were on IVF journey and when the doctor said there is no chance, She got pregnant naturally like a miracle 😍 Please never give up,some little angel is waiting for the moment to come to you and choose you for his/her parents!! Keep loving each other and everything will be allright!!! I will keep thinking about You!! 🥰❤️❤️
What a freaking roller coaster ride you guys have been through.
You are so much stronger than I ever would have been.
May God continue to be with you in this journey
Your positivity throughout the process helps everyone who is struggling with any type of challenge life may throw at them. The way you keep moving forward and your support of each other is amazing. I pray that whatever the outcome you will be blessed with joy throughout your life together.
Just finished watching the entire clip. I hope you do research accupuncture in helping fertility problems as well as endometriosis treatment good luck to you both.
I'm absolutely rooting for you both. I'm in my second cycle, and struggling much less with complicating issues like low reserve etc, and it's already so hard. I can't imagine having the setbacks you've come across, and staying as positive as you are.
I hope you finally get some good news in all this!
Praying for you guys! Also, side note, Jessi looked STUNNING in that last clip - not sure what it was... the hair, the shirt, the makeup, or the natural beauty!
Sending hugs!! No matter what happens it will be okay! Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us!!💗💗
Keeping y'all in my prayers 🙏🏾 ❤️
Hellooo from the UK 🇬🇧 I had an unexpected and unknown ruptured ovarian cyst back in 2017, since then every time I ovulated it caused immense pain, we had been trying for 2 years with no luck. I had a lap and dye test on December 12th 2018 they found endometriosis and cut it away and referred us to fertility…but..January 12th 2019 after weeks of feeling “symptoms” we got the positive test! Daughter Valentina born in the Sept 2019 and later had another surprise, a son Liam in Feb 2021! Ever since that ruptured cyst I’ve had very painful ovulation every month, that is my story but you both have been on a much longer and harder journey than me, I hold out hope for you both that you will have your little bambino in the future! ❤ xx
2019 at 31 yo before my firstborn my amh was 0.9,told there was no way of conceiving naturaly,they put me on Cikloproginova to start IVF,became pregnant with twins naturally next month,unfortunately lost one pretty early on in pregnancy but have a healthy boy who will be 5 in a month. Got pregnant again after one year first try, healthy boy who is now 3 years old.Weren't planning on having more kids than last year at 35yo was told because of some cyst to check on amh and it was 0.3, was put on Cikloproginova and got pregnant with twins who are now healthy three months old,a boy and a girl. My endocrinologist told me that AMH is just a number,no one takes it seriously anymore,ultrasound is much more realiable way of knowing how many eggs you got. I wish for you the same journey and outcome- 4 kids 😜❤️
I'm so sorry you guys are going through this roller coaster of emotions. You both would be such great parents. I hope there is some way your dream will come true.
Awe! You guys are so sweet. I will be praying for you both.
My AMH was 0.4, at 39 yo. Then I had a pregnancy without treatment but ended in a misscarriage. 1.3 years after the AMH test (so, surely with AMH lower than 0.4) we had an egg retrieval and I produced 13 eggs, sent 4 embryos to PGT, one came genetically ok and I am now 35 weeks pregnant.
If your heart says go on, go on.
IVF is so hard. Thank you for sharing. I was lucky enough to have success but I’m still dealing with the trauma that came with the process.
Three years ago, I decided to move forward with having a child as a single mom by choice. My AMH was 2.3, 17 follicles - everything looked great so I tried IUI before going to IVF. No luck until my 5th IUI, which unfortunately ended in a missed miscarriage. During that cycle, the nurse told me I had what looked like an endometrioma on my right ovary. I had scheduled an appointment with the practice’s endo specialist, ‘just in case’ my pregnancy didn’t go to term. Thankfully I didn’t cancel it - I found out the pregnancy wasn’t viable on Wednesday, saw the specialist on Friday, he did my D&C on Tuesday, then had endo surgery 7 weeks later. They removed a 6cm cyst, removed adhesions from my ureters, my colon, ovaries etc., removed DIEs, excised a softball sized piece of my peritoneum. Crazy as I really didn’t have symptoms.
9 weeks later I did my first egg retrieval. My AMH had dropped to 1.3, I only retrieved 9 eggs and ended up with 1 embryo. I did a second ER, this one gave me 8 eggs but 3 embryos, one of which became my 4 month old daughter.
So happy for you God bless on your daughter 💖
Great news for them 🙏🏻
I've recently started seeing your videos and I've really enjoyed your content. So far everything I was watching was food related and now BAM. This is a pretty serious and highly personal topic, and a very difficult one to put out in the open online for the world to see. I applaud you both for sharing this highly personal experience with us all. I really am cheering for you both and hope you get good news and this IVF process works for you. Also, I love your cat. I've always had a black cat at various times in my life. I love the part where you're sitting there talking about all the follicle, egg, cyst, and IVF stuff and the cat is just sitting behind you looking salty and angry at the world lol. Kind of lightens the mood.
Praying for your family. Please pray for your future family !
I appreciate you sharing this. I'm totally out of the loop in what the AMH is all about and I am learning about IVF which is something I knew very little about.
I'm 71, was diagnosed with endo when I was just 19 and had a miscarriage at 22. I had exploratory surgery at 30 to assess my endo situation (I had always had such severe cramps starting at age 11). I had widespread endo and they put me on 6 months of Danocrin (I think that's how it's spelled) which stopped my month cycles. Without intervention, I got pregnant at 32 and gave birth to my only child the day before my 33rd birthday. When my son was 4 1/2 years old, I had to have a hysterectomy with 3 other surgeries at the same time (none of it due to the endo).
I wish you well and hope you get great news. I will be looking at more of your videos in order to get more information on your journey and more about endo and the AMH. Thank you.
My AMH is 0.2. I found out that when I was 35 after a couple years of trying without a success. No doctor had told me to do this test, I didn't even know it existed. So that was shocking. We tried IVF with my eggs once and we got one, low-quality embrio so of course it didn't go well. Apart from that I was as fit as a fiddle so we kept trying to conceive naturally. And no success. I was down in the dumbs. But I really, really wanted to have a baby, be pregnant, experience all of this just once in my life. And one doctor suggested that we might get an egg from a donor. I don't really care about my genes, I just wanted the donor to have similar phenotype to mine. And now I'm 38, pregnant and my due date is in february! I can feel my daughter move inside me and I already love her very, very much. It took me one year to make this decision but this is the best decision in my life. My family and close friends know that the egg wasn't mine but they are very supportive, accepted it and are looking forward to meeting our little baby. And of course she is mine. The egg was just a tiny piece, I'm making her body, bones, everything with my blood. So ragazzi... there is always a chance and hope...
Great story! I did the same, but due to genetic reasons.... I'm pregnant, early stage, a bit scared after losses and 1st unsuccessful round... But have hope
@@aloe_vera8052 I wish you all the best in the world! And I keep my fingers crossed for your little baby inside!
Wow what a roller coaster!! Y’all are being so strong through all of this; I am so glad you two have each other in this journey. I mean, I know it wouldn’t make sense for you to be on this journey without each other, but yeah. Praying for a good outcome! ❤
What an amazing couple you really are! Best of Luck going forward. Sending prayers your way.
I’m sorry you’re going through this. I had my first retrieval last month - I have a low AMH (0.22) and 7 follicles after stim. They managed to retrieve 4 eggs, fertilised 3 and 2 made it to blast. Be hopeful, in the end you only need one ❤
Such a Beautiful Couple❣️ God Bless You, Richly ❤️
I hope that God will give you children, cause you are amazing couple. Wish you all best. Tanti saluti da Croazia!❤❤❤
Praying for and envisioning you to have success in this final IVF process 🙏
I’m a single, childless woman age 39. I focused on my education and career and never ended up finding a situation that led to a family. I’m rooting for you both. I trust God and I know you do, too. I believe God is bringing you through and has a plan through this all. I love you both and know good things are coming. ❤

Sending so much love. I can't imagine how many women and couples you have helped.
hopefully this will be successful but if not it will feel amazing to put this behind you and live the life you have and relish in your blessings. Been there done that and it is so freeing to let it go.
I'm praying everything goes the way you want it to. Both of you have been so selfless and open about your journey to have a baby. God has a plan for you. Stay open-minded to it. Always do what's in your hearts. Peace to both of you. ❤
