My heart goes out to you. We were in the trenches for almost 7 years. It’s the shittiest club, with the best people in it. Find a support group, there are many on Facebook and insta - those girls saved me and made me feel not so alone. The trenches are deep, dark, and isolating. You aren’t alone in this, we are all cheering for you 🤍
It is easy for someone to say, "I'll pray for you" (but really don't ) when they see that you're going through challenging times in your life. As, I watched your vlog I was truly touched by your emotions. I just felt the need to not only pray for you but to also Fast & Pray on your behalf. May God's Grace and Mercy shower you💫
I've had so many negatives and each time it hurts more. It's like small glimpse of hope gets chipped away from your soul. I have a 1 yr old now from IVF yet I can still feel the crushing feelings from when I was in the trenches while watching this. I'm so sorry you're in this battle right now, I've been there and it consumes your entire life.
I feel for you. I’m 11 day DPO, 12 days past IUI and have tested negative too. This journey is such a roller coaster. Jeremiah 29:11 has been the verse I’ve been clinging too throughout this journey ❤
I didn’t get a positive test with my rainbow baby until 16 DPO. I thought I was insane for still testing that far out. I had two losses before her and she is my miracle. God is with you. Praying for you and AJ ❤️
I admire your willingness to share TTC journey with us, with me. It's so personal and I really feel you. I'm waiting for you pregnancy day almost as bad as you are waiting for it. You do everything for your future child and I know it's not in vain. Love you 💜
My heart hurts for you! Just know your body is capable and your time is coming too. I’m currently 22+ weeks with my miracle baby and I never thought I would be able to say that. It was month after month of disappointment so I feel every single emotion in your videos with you. You are strong, you are worthy of being a mom, and it’s going to happen before you know it ❤
literally have never tried to conceive, not even thinking about pregnancy, & i still teared up watching this video.. i feel for you Rach. If I could feel for you without even knowing what you’re going through, how much more does God weep and feel for your pain through this journey?? He sees you and is with you ❤❤
Hi Rachel, I just want to start of by saying thank you. I found you during my own TTC journey, and I don't know if you realize but you are really helping a lot of women make it through their journey by showing us that we are not alone in this. In september it will be my 1 year of ttc. I got diagnosed with hashimotos after month 5. Doctors said it was a miracle that I didnt get pregnant with my TSH levels because I would most likely have experienced a miscarriage or the baby could have severe health issues. Im saying this because that made me realize that God's timing is the best and we have to trust the proces. I cried every month for the first 5 months, but after realizing how lucky we got i started to look at it from another perspective. It's not easy by any means. Every month is still hard, and I can understand the pain you are going through. I pray that you will get positive one day and that God makes it easier for you to go through this pain. Thank you again, and may good things always come your way💕
You are so strong. It takes so much courage to share this journey with us. Thank you for your transparency. I’m sure you will be blessed with a baby soon ❤
I’m just thinking of when I tried to conceive for 7 months and it felt like the longest 7 months of my life. Full of testing and full of negatives. I can’t even imagine what you’re going through. It’s one of the absolute worst things to go through and I was depressed for those 7 months. I teared up watching this 😔 I am going to be so happy for you when your wish comes true 💕
My heart goes out to you. I’ve been crying all weekend because I am walking through a similar journey and all the woman close to me in my life are currently pregnant or have babies. It’s such a hard journey and there’s nothing to say to make it easier other than you aren’t alone. ❤
Don’t give up! I tried for 3 years, then had 1 IUI negative, 2 IVF procedures, 4 transfers and finally the 5th was the luckiest one! It was my last chance. I didn’t have strength and money for more tries. Now I’m in the middle of my pregnancy and I know it is a miracle.
Still interceding on your behalf, Rachel. Thank you for sharing your journey and being so outrageously courageous. I know it has to be so incredibly hard to share with us. Praying lots of peace, joy, and comfort over these coming days. Don’t give up! God is working even when we don’t see or feel Him❤
I am so sorry 😢 There is really nothing that anyone can say to help.. it took us 16 months to finally see a positive. Every month was so, so hard. Lots of crying and no one that I knew in my personal life going through the same struggle. Sending you hugs and some extra strength ❤
That’s just so hard to do that every fricking month… I’ll continue to pray for you ❤️ I got the first faintest positive pregnancy test on 14dpo and I also tested from 9dpo and lost my mind when it said negative every day.. So when it turned into a positive test, it really felt like a miracle and I couldn’t really believe it. For us the cycle we got pregnant was your 24th month of trying and 4th one of letro cycles. TTC journey is so hard and I can related to those thoughts about is there ever going to be a positive test or am I ever going to be able to get pregnant. The unknown is the worst. But I’m really thinking of you and praying for you that soon your wait would be over and we could all celebrate your miracle baby. ❤️🙌🏼🎉
Hi Rachel, I really feel you.. I also had the same thinking after knowing the negative results.. I did beta test last Saturday for my #2 IUI and result came negative.. My hope was high as my husband's sample was great, I experienced some symtomps that I thought I was pregnant.. I really wish all the best for you!! 💐
I feel for you love and going through the same journey, having the same thoughts, feeling down every time I see a negative for almost 2 years in a row. Try to give yourself a break with testing, no ovulation strips, hide pregnancy tests and just focus on you, go for a walk, do what you like, try to put your mind off it. That has helped me to get the strenght I needed xx
Praying for hope, comfort & peace throughout this process. I can’t even begin to imagine the pain and sorrow that comes with this process, but God is good and I’m sure he has a plan for your, to turn this bad into good for his purpose. Love you, sending you a big hug 🤍
I hear you, I feel you and literally am in the exact same boat as you for this journey. Just about to start my IUI journey because we have been negative for 7 years. Right now the easiest thing that you can do will be the hardest thing you will ever have to do and that is to be patient and have faith in the process and the journey. Manifest it from the deepest parts of your heart and soul and I know you're going to see that positive soon. Watching you cry broke my heart. Sending you lots of positive energy and love.
Oh Rachel my heart cries with you. I feel every inch of your emotion. Stay strong and don’t loose hope! Your body was made to carry a baby and you will in Jesus name 💗 stay strong! Thank you for your transparency and for your courage. You are so strong. You can do this. Keep taking it one day at a time. We are all cheering you on and praying for you and asking the Lord to grant you your baby. We love you Rachel.
I started watching your videos because I wanted to learn more vocabulary of daily life but now you are part of my prayers. ❤ You are an incredible woman with admirable perseverance.
Hey! Fertility RN here. My heart goes out to you… nothing I can say about your journey makes it any easier. Just know that you are seen and you will get your beautiful family. This is not easy… gosh this isn’t easy. Just keep going ❤
Job 1:20 “Job stood up and tore his robe in grief. Then he shaved his head and fell to the ground to worship.” I can’t imagine the frustration you’re facing, I became emotional watching this video. But you are so very strong and I know that it’s hard, but continue to worship the Lord. In His perfect timing, you will have a child in Jesus name! I’m praying for you! We are all praying for you! And we can’t wait to see that positive test when it does happen because it will!!❤️
This was tough to watch because I’m just so sad for you. I can’t imagine what you’re feeling. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone. My heart goes out to you and all these other ladies in the comments.
I so understand you, because I'm passing through a similar journey. I had 2 miscarriages when I was 38 years old, one right after the other. Those were the 1st times I got pregnant. I knew that something was wrong with my body, since I had have graves disease, overactive thyroid. I started a fertility treatment 4 months ago, more specifically ICSI. I did a lot of research before and I'm glad I did. Even if the clinics do their best, reality is, you're the best to understand your body. So I realised from the research I did for myself, I needed to cut off gluten, dairy, reduce sugar to reduce inflammation in my body caused by insulin resistance. I started to take supplements to reestablish my insulin levels, I quit my job (my husband gave me that chance thankfully), made sure I was relaxed, resting, sleeping, exercised less to reduce any increase on my cortisol levels and made sure that my first meal was based only on vegetables and protein. No carbs or sugar on my first meal. If I have sugar I'll have it from my 2nd meal and after the main meal. All this together with the fertility treatment came to a positive pregnancy test, on my very 1st try🙏 Now of course there's the anxiety about knowing if this pregnancy will succeed, since I had the miscarriages, but I'm making my best to keep my hopes up! This fertility journey is definitely stressful, but none of us are alone, because people like you when sharing their story can attract people like me that on the same boat and we can do it, we have to believe that our bodies are capable. Do your own research to understand if there's something about your body that might be off and might be causing your delay in getting pregnant. Hoping your 2nd try will come in a beautiful positive test result🤞🤰
I know every feeling🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻praying for you so hard 🙏🏻God will not forget your tears but I pray He guides you what to do and give you strength on this hard journey ❤
Hi Rachel, I just wanted to leave a word of encouragement. My parents didn’t think they would get to have kids, they had tried and tried everything and eventually came to terms that they would not be able to conceive. It was years later, and they had stopped actively trying, but God surprised them and opened that door and they had me. I pray for Gods supernatural peace to be over you in this season of waiting. Trusting His timing is difficult and sometimes painful, but hold His hand and He will continue to walk you through it.
I am praying for you Rachel. There is not a more deserving pair out there for a beautiful baby and I know God will make it happen for you! Continue doing whatever you need, IUI IVF whatever it is…. all medicine and avenues are created through God and through his will all these procedures work. Don’t let anyone get you down or comment things to make you feel any other way…. God is with you through EVERYthing. Praying for you and AJ
God bless you! I've been in this boat for 8 years now and I'm 42. Time seems like it's speeding up. I just had my first iui last Thursday after losing my right fallopian tube and baby at 10 weeks in May due to live ectopic. And I had finally conceived naturally. I was shattered. I know my God is bigger and my story is NOT over......neither is yours! You are in my prayers! Don't give up 🩷
I’m sorry Rachel. I tested this morning after my first IUI as well. It was also negative! Truly praying for a different outcome for us next round. You are not alone and I believe there are beautiful things on the horizon for both of us. God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus💕
Hey love baby dust for you ! I am on the ttc journey for 7 months now and hoping that one day that pregnancy test will turn into two lines and I know exactly what you are going through but stay strong and have faith god always comes through ❤
Of course we all hope and pray that your every wish for life will be rapidly fulfilled. But it's also good to know that you're spiritually fit enough to accept a second choice if such is what's ultimately given you.
Give yourself grace ❤ I’m around your age and going through something different, but I know the feeling of having a plan and the frustration of it not working out (the way you would have expected): the anxiety, the stress, the self doubt - you are enough! You are so loved, you are strong, and you will get through this. God has a plan for us all, and for me I didn’t picture it looking like a tumor/removal of an ovary and tube in a medical emergency… but it didn’t look like being able to have children either for some time. We are now expecting our first child next year. Gods work is so magical, that the one positive test (or many 😉) will feel like your heart singing and like a true miracle. Take it slow, give yourself grace, don’t be too hard on yourself, and lean on your support ❤ You’re doing great, and you’ve got this!
This breaks my heart. I’m praying for you girl! Infertility is the hardest thing I’ve ever been through. 4 rounds of IVF here. We have one perfect girl 🫶🏻 stay strong! It’s worth the fight.
I’m so sorry! It’s ok to cry it out and feel the emotions. But don’t lose hope. This is such a difficult journey, but you’re strong enough to get through it. Praying for you and AJ 🙏🏼
I know the feeling, me and my husband trying for 4 years. Now I'm 6 month pregnant with our baby girl, so there is hope! Just never stop to believe in your dream! It will come true! Believe me! Wishing you luck and patience! Sending you positive energy! :)
My heart goes out to you, Rachel. All the best with your journey. It teaches you so much, but you often won't see it until it's hindsight. My baby boy is 1 on Saturday! It was almost 4 yrs of TTC. IUI didn't work for us, but luckily IVF did 😊
I’m so sorry. We’ve been trying since Dec 2021 with no positives so I know how hard it is. One thing that truly helped me was to stop testing hcg. I don’t even really test for ovulation anymore either unless I’m on a letrozole cycle. I maybe test once every few months if I feel symptoms or I’m late but it’s helped mentally to not be constantly getting negative tests. I look at it this way: if I’m pregnant it won’t matter if I test or not because it’s not going to change the results either way. Praying for you ❤
Thank you for making this video. I want you to know that there are thousands of people who are praying for you right now, and I’m one of them. Crying watching this video, but I believe that God always goes through. Please don’t give up ❤️ Deuteronomy 31:8 - The Lord is the one who goes ahead of you; He will be with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Nothing can be said to prevent the overwhelming feeling you are having. But never give up on yourself. The most important thing anyone can do is believe in themselves. Showing love and support❤. Be safe out there.
Thank you so much for sharing Rachel! I too cry every month it‘s hard, but you sharing your journey means so much too me, i feel so much less alone, so Thank you! ❤️ lots of love from Germany!
Hi, Rachel. Thank you for being so transparent and sharing your story. I also have the MTHFR gene variation and I know it is difficult sometimes to get pregnant. Keep staying strong. God is using your experience for a good purpose, I promise. ❤
my boss tried for three years, IVF and all, and gave up... after a year, where she no longer thought it was possible, the first child came, like, on a casual night out with her husband. and after two years the second child came, again, without planning. keep the faith
I know the pain & hurt you are going through but I can tell you 100% it's a matter of WHEN not a matter of if. You will be a mama someday 💕 I am always praying for you
Rachel I know you don’t know us like we know you but my heart aches for you like it would for my own sister. I’m praying for you and AJ. Thank you for sharing Gods love through your hurt. Your blessings in heaven will be many 💛
❤ My heart is with you!! I know your pain...I completed my first failed IUI last month too. I know that doesn’t make this any easier. Sending prayers to you!
I’ve been here before and it sucks. Praying for you guys. I don’t know if this is helpful but I had to go through multiple IUIs to get my miracles so it may take more than 1 IUI. Still doesn’t make the wait any easier ❤
Honestly you are not alone, we almost had the identical situation. Im now on a break because my body is so tired from all of this but im still hoping to see a positive soon. It smth i have always been scared of not being able to, and reality made it true. Lets stay hopeful! It’ll happen we just need patience and trust in god ❤
Been thinking about you all weekend. Thank you for sharing this journey. Praying hard for you and peace of mind. Praying for fruitfulness in your life with AJ. ♥️
I have secondary infertility I have a 4 year old I have endocrine problems I want to give my son a family I never had I have no sibling nor does my mum.. and it’s hard the struggle is real but you got a keep going and not loose hope, God will show us the light I am sure xxxx
Try using the blue Mucinex or Guaifenesin before and during ovulation. Also take Geritol everyday until you get pregnant. Then take your prenatals. Don’t take Geritol with prenatals bc some women get sick. Also use a menstrual cup to keep his sperm inside. These are some tips that I have learned by watching videos on here. I hope this helps somebody even my self! I have a 9 year old but I have been trying to conceive more children for about three years now. I hope this helps!
Hang in there, tried for 3 years….our wedding was 6/17/23 . . We wanted to be pregnant and surprise everyone but accepted that wouldn’t happen. We planned to enjoy the wedding drink our butts off on our honeymoon and this July would start meds/timed intercourse and IUI . . . . . Welllll that didnt happen; 2 weeks before the wedding we found out were pregnant ON OUR OWN . . . . TOTAL SURPRISE because we got healthy and stopped thinking. Keep the hope it will happen take a breath and I will DEF be praying for you!!!!!
I don’t know what to say😞. I didn’t have this issue. At 30 I had my little girl. At 33 I had a son. I wasn’t ready.😢. But I wouldn’t change a thing. Having said that, I cry with you. I’m a grandma now and it’s a blessing. I want to just sit with you and hug and let whatever conversation happens. God is always with us. However in the depth of it all, it still hurts. We are all praying for you. Give yourself grace and feel your feelings. It’s ok to not feel ok. I’m rambling because my heart hurts for you as if you were my own 🙏💕🩵
Rachel, I know this hasn’t been easy for you but thank you sooo much for sharing the realities of this process. I pray that God will bless you and AJ with a fruitful marriage❤
I know exactly that feeling of scrutinizing test after test just going crazy thinking there’s a hint of a line… ❤❤ thank you for sharing, I don’t feel so alone.
I send you lots of love. I hope by reading all these comments, you don't feel alone. We are ttc for 6 years now with ivf and all that. I took a break for a year due to mental and financially things. I am not Christian but I know god is good, and his timing is always right. ❤ If you need anything, ask okay? ❤️❤️
Sweet Rachel, I am praying for you. Abba Father, thank you for your love and blessings in Rachel’s life. Father, you say to come boldly before your throne. Father, I am asking you to place your hand on Rachel’s heart, head and womb and breathe hope and life into her. Nothing is impossible for you. Bless AJ too Father as he is experiencing this journey as well. Thank you Father in advance for your promises are yes and amen. ❤❤❤
I cried with you Rachel ❤️🩹 we’re not TTC yet (we get married in October) and my heart hurts for you thinking about what this must feel like. Sending you SO much baby dust your way🤞🏼

Did it eventually work out for you?
It is easy for someone to say, "I'll pray for you" (but really don't ) when they see that you're going through challenging times in your life.
As, I watched your vlog I was truly touched by your emotions. I just felt the need to not only pray for you but to also Fast & Pray on your behalf.
May God's Grace and Mercy shower you💫
I've had so many negatives and each time it hurts more. It's like small glimpse of hope gets chipped away from your soul. I have a 1 yr old now from IVF yet I can still feel the crushing feelings from when I was in the trenches while watching this.
I'm so sorry you're in this battle right now, I've been there and it consumes your entire life.
Every negative test hurts❤ I cry every month. Thank you for sharing - here to cheer you on and lift you up! ❤

Hi Rachel. I'm with you at 8 DPO right now. I cry every month too. You're not alone.
I’m just thinking of when I tried to conceive for 7 months and it felt like the longest 7 months of my life. Full of testing and full of negatives. I can’t even imagine what you’re going through.

I don’t think I’ve ever related to a TH-cam video more than this one. It’s heart breaking but also is nice to know these feelings aren’t alone. 😢
Praying for you! ❤
I am so sorry 😢
There is really nothing that anyone can say to help.. it took us 16 months to finally see a positive. Every month was so, so hard. Lots of crying and no one that I knew in my personal life going through the same struggle. Sending you hugs and some extra strength ❤
This video made me so sad
You are a warrior posting this content
I am learning so much, you must be comforting so many
Oh Rachel. I wish I could hug you. Praying for your motherhood journey.
That’s just so hard to do that every fricking month… I’ll continue to pray for you ❤️

You are so brave to share. Cry on, girl. I went through years of infertility……it is so hard. Praying for you and your husband. God’s comfort.
Oh I’m so sorry Rachel! God is in the details of all things ❤️
Im sorry Rachel. Im praying for you!
I’m so sorry, Rachel…I’m praying for peace, comfort, and hope for you. Remember that through it all, He is still good. And He is faithful. ❤
I feel for you love and going through the same journey, having the same thoughts, feeling down every time I see a negative for almost 2 years in a row.

Thank you friend that means a lot 🙏💜
I hear you, I feel you and literally am in the exact same boat as you for this journey. Just about to start my IUI journey because we have been negative for 7 years. Right now the easiest thing that you can do will be the hardest thing you will ever have to do and that is to be patient and have faith in the process and the journey. Manifest it from the deepest parts of your heart and soul and I know you're going to see that positive soon. Watching you cry broke my heart. Sending you lots of positive energy and love.
Oh Rachel my heart cries with you. I feel every inch of your emotion. Stay strong and don’t loose hope! Your body was made to carry a baby and you will in Jesus name 💗 stay strong!

Sarah’s Laughter Infertility PodCast has been a God send for me. It has helped me process so much.
Job 1:20 “Job stood up and tore his robe in grief. Then he shaved his head and fell to the ground to worship.” I can’t imagine the frustration you’re facing, I became emotional watching this video. But you are so very strong and I know that it’s hard, but continue to worship the Lord. In His perfect timing, you will have a child in Jesus name! I’m praying for you! We are all praying for you! And we can’t wait to see that positive test when it does happen because it will!!❤️

Do your own research to understand if there's something about your body that might be off and might be causing your delay in getting pregnant. Hoping your 2nd try will come in a beautiful positive test result🤞🤰
I know every feeling🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻praying for you so hard 🙏🏻God will not forget your tears but I pray He guides you what to do and give you strength on this hard journey ❤
Hi Rachel, I just wanted to leave a word of encouragement. My parents didn’t think they would get to have kids, they had tried and tried everything and eventually came to terms that they would not be able to conceive. It was years later, and they had stopped actively trying, but God surprised them and opened that door and they had me.
I pray for Gods supernatural peace to be over you in this season of waiting. Trusting His timing is difficult and sometimes painful, but hold His hand and He will continue to walk you through it.
Your vulnerability is breathtaking. 💜
I am praying for you Rachel. There is not a more deserving pair out there for a beautiful baby and I know God will make it happen for you! Continue doing whatever you need, IUI IVF whatever it is…. all medicine and avenues are created through God and through his will all these procedures work. Don’t let anyone get you down or comment things to make you feel any other way…. God is with you through EVERYthing. Praying for you and AJ
God bless you! I've been in this boat for 8 years now and I'm 42. Time seems like it's speeding up. I just had my first iui last Thursday after losing my right fallopian tube and baby at 10 weeks in May due to live ectopic. And I had finally conceived naturally. I was shattered. I know my God is bigger and my story is NOT over......neither is yours! You are in my prayers! Don't give up 🩷
Best of luck!
This was emotional. Had me tearing up so hard multiple times. I love you Rachel.
I’m sorry Rachel. I tested this morning after my first IUI as well. It was also negative! Truly praying for a different outcome for us next round. You are not alone and I believe there are beautiful things on the horizon for both of us. God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus💕
Hey love baby dust for you ! I am on the ttc journey for 7 months now and hoping that one day that pregnancy test will turn into two lines and I know exactly what you are going through but stay strong and have faith god always comes through ❤
Sending you lots of love and light. Stay up Rachel, your viewers are here for you and will help support you along the way.
Of course we all hope and pray that your every wish for life will be rapidly fulfilled. But it's also good to know that you're spiritually fit enough to accept a second choice if such is what's ultimately given you.
Give yourself grace ❤ I’m around your age and going through something different, but I know the feeling of having a plan and the frustration of it not working out (the way you would have expected): the anxiety, the stress, the self doubt - you are enough! You are so loved, you are strong, and you will get through this. God has a plan for us all, and for me I didn’t picture it looking like a tumor/removal of an ovary and tube in a medical emergency… but it didn’t look like being able to have children either for some time. We are now expecting our first child next year. Gods work is so magical, that the one positive test (or many 😉) will feel like your heart singing and like a true miracle. Take it slow, give yourself grace, don’t be too hard on yourself, and lean on your support ❤ You’re doing great, and you’ve got this!
❤️🩹 praying for your strength, your heart and your patience
This breaks my heart. I’m praying for you girl! Infertility is the hardest thing I’ve ever been through. 4 rounds of IVF here. We have one perfect girl 🫶🏻
stay strong! It’s worth the fight.
I’m so sorry! It’s ok to cry it out and feel the emotions. But don’t lose hope. This is such a difficult journey, but you’re strong enough to get through it. Praying for you and AJ 🙏🏼
I know the feeling, me and my husband trying for 4 years. Now I'm 6 month pregnant with our baby girl, so there is hope! Just never stop to believe in your dream! It will come true! Believe me! Wishing you luck and patience! Sending you positive energy! :)
You are strong. Thank you for sharing your experiences. It means a lot to a lot of people
I’m sorry Rachel, please don’t give up hope. ❤️
My heart goes out to you, Rachel. All the best with your journey. It teaches you so much, but you often won't see it until it's hindsight. My baby boy is 1 on Saturday! It was almost 4 yrs of TTC. IUI didn't work for us, but luckily IVF did 😊
Please continue to post your pregnancy journey, and know your blessing will come 🤍🤍
This was so raw it had me crying. You're so strong. I'm so sorry this time didn't work this round. Hopeful for you. ❤
I’m so sorry. We’ve been trying since Dec 2021 with no positives so I know how hard it is. One thing that truly helped me was to stop testing hcg. I don’t even really test for ovulation anymore either unless I’m on a letrozole cycle. I maybe test once every few months if I feel symptoms or I’m late but it’s helped mentally to not be constantly getting negative tests. I look at it this way: if I’m pregnant it won’t matter if I test or not because it’s not going to change the results either way. Praying for you ❤
Thank you for making this video. I want you to know that there are thousands of people who are praying for you right now, and I’m one of them. Crying watching this video, but I believe that God always goes through. Please don’t give up ❤️
Deuteronomy 31:8 - The Lord is the one who goes ahead of you; He will be with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Nothing can be said to prevent the overwhelming feeling you are having. But never give up on yourself. The most important thing anyone can do is believe in themselves. Showing love and support❤. Be safe out there.
We are here for youuuu, Rachel! Here since 10 subs from the start.💜
Thank you so much for sharing Rachel! I too cry every month it‘s hard, but you sharing your journey means so much too me, i feel so much less alone, so Thank you! ❤️ lots of love from Germany!
Hi, Rachel. Thank you for being so transparent and sharing your story. I also have the MTHFR gene variation and I know it is difficult sometimes to get pregnant.
Keep staying strong. God is using your experience for a good purpose, I promise. ❤
my boss tried for three years, IVF and all, and gave up... after a year, where she no longer thought it was possible, the first child came, like, on a casual night out with her husband. and after two years the second child came, again, without planning. keep the faith
Wow that’s amazing. I pray that happens for me and my husband 🙏🏽
I know the pain & hurt you are going through but I can tell you 100% it's a matter of WHEN not a matter of if. You will be a mama someday 💕 I am always praying for you
Rachel I know you don’t know us like we know you but my heart aches for you like it would for my own sister. I’m praying for you and AJ. Thank you for sharing Gods love through your hurt. Your blessings in heaven will be many 💛
My heart really goes out to you. ♥️ Sorry you going through such a hard journey.
You are so strong Rachel . My heart goes w you 😭😭😭❤
❤ My heart is with you!!
I know your pain...I completed my first failed IUI last month too. I know that doesn’t make this any easier.
Sending prayers to you!
i love you girl 😭i pray for you every day
I’ve been here before and it sucks. Praying for you guys. I don’t know if this is helpful but I had to go through multiple IUIs to get my miracles so it may take more than 1 IUI. Still doesn’t make the wait any easier ❤
Honestly you are not alone, we almost had the identical situation. Im now on a break because my body is so tired from all of this but im still hoping to see a positive soon. It smth i have always been scared of not being able to, and reality made it true. Lets stay hopeful! It’ll happen we just need patience and trust in god ❤
Been thinking about you all weekend. Thank you for sharing this journey. Praying hard for you and peace of mind. Praying for fruitfulness in your life with AJ. ♥️
HOPE and PEACE prayed over you!
I’m so sorry Rachel. Praying for you❤
I have secondary infertility I have a 4 year old I have endocrine problems I want to give my son a family I never had I have no sibling nor does my mum.. and it’s hard the struggle is real but you got a keep going and not loose hope, God will show us the light I am sure xxxx
My heart breaks for you. Will be praying!!
It took me 4 cycles of Clomid and almost giving up when our miracle came. Hugs goes out to you ❤ keep the faith.
Try using the blue Mucinex or Guaifenesin before and during ovulation. Also take Geritol everyday until you get pregnant. Then take your prenatals. Don’t take Geritol with prenatals bc some women get sick. Also use a menstrual cup to keep his sperm inside. These are some tips that I have learned by watching videos on here. I hope this helps somebody even my self! I have a 9 year old but I have been trying to conceive more children for about three years now. I hope this helps!
This is just the beginning of your journey x God is in the centre of all x I’m hopeful that along your journey, it will happen ♥️
Hang in there, tried for 3 years….our wedding was 6/17/23 . . We wanted to be pregnant and surprise everyone but accepted that wouldn’t happen. We planned to enjoy the wedding drink our butts off on our honeymoon and this July would start meds/timed intercourse and IUI . . . . . Welllll that didnt happen; 2 weeks before the wedding we found out were pregnant ON OUR OWN . . . . TOTAL SURPRISE because we got healthy and stopped thinking. Keep the hope it will happen take a breath and I will DEF be praying for you!!!!!
Praying for you❤
We love you Rachel and our prayers go out to you. We pray your hope and faith finds you. ❤
Dear Rachel! Thank you for sharing, for your honesty. I got sad with you too... God bless you!!!
Sending you lots of love, it's very brave of you to share ❤
I don’t know what to say😞. I didn’t have this issue. At 30 I had my little girl. At 33 I had a son. I wasn’t ready.😢. But I wouldn’t change a thing. Having said that, I cry with you. I’m a grandma now and it’s a blessing. I want to just sit with you and hug and let whatever conversation happens. God is always with us. However in the depth of it all, it still hurts. We are all praying for you. Give yourself grace and feel your feelings. It’s ok to not feel ok. I’m rambling because my heart hurts for you as if you were my own 🙏💕🩵
My heart goes out to you ❤ I think you are incredibly strong to share your story and I'm praying for good news for you guys soon 🙏 sending love ❤
I’m also going thru this journey. I’m on IUI #3. We got this and stay hopeful! I’m here if you need someone.. it’s so tiring, but you can do this!
Thank you! You too!
Sending you virtual hugs and positive vibes, Rachel. My heart aches for you and AJ.
Rachel, I know this hasn’t been easy for you but thank you sooo much for sharing the realities of this process. I pray that God will bless you and AJ with a fruitful marriage❤
I know exactly that feeling of scrutinizing test after test just going crazy thinking there’s a hint of a line… ❤❤ thank you for sharing, I don’t feel so alone.
I send you lots of love. I hope by reading all these comments, you don't feel alone. We are ttc for 6 years now with ivf and all that. I took a break for a year due to mental and financially things. I am not Christian but I know god is good, and his timing is always right. ❤ If you need anything, ask okay? ❤️❤️
Sweet Rachel, I am praying for you. Abba Father, thank you for your love and blessings in Rachel’s life. Father, you say to come boldly before your throne. Father, I am asking you to place your hand on Rachel’s heart, head and womb and breathe hope and life into her. Nothing is impossible for you. Bless AJ too Father as he is experiencing this journey as well. Thank you Father in advance for your promises are yes and amen. ❤❤❤
I cried with you Rachel ❤️🩹 we’re not TTC yet (we get married in October) and my heart hurts for you thinking about what this must feel like. Sending you SO much baby dust your way🤞🏼
