    So sorry for these years of endurance Celeste. And the toll this is taking. Having watched every video you have uploaded it is so disheartening to see that your much wanted baby is still not here - and I know we will never be able to fully comprehend all that you and Tim go through. It's heartbreaking. I'm so glad you are looking at other options to become the mother you so deserve to be - and not just to your precious angels. Truly, words cannot express how sad this all is. I know you don't, but never lose sight of your beautiful marriage, friendships and inner strength and beauty. I know these have all been tested and it is not always easy but I truly believe we will see this journey have such a positive turn of events and this current upset will not endure forever. Lots of love. X

    I’m so sorry surrogacy wasn’t the answer for you guys 💔 I am so sorry for all you are going through currently! I truly understand on the deepest level what you’re both going through! I went through 6 and 1/2 years of my own fertility journey and I’m so glad every time that voice in my head said “just give up” I quieted it and said “No! I won’t!” Because if I listen to that voice I wouldn’t be holding my now 10 month old beautiful baby girl! Just don’t give up! You’re time is coming! And I’m praying that 2021 is the year of miracles for you and your family! Much love 💞🌈🤱🏼

I had 7 miscarriages and everyone being sweet or not try to tell you what you should try and what worked for them and you do get so regrets and wished you pushed harder!

    I’m so sorry this journey into surrogacy didn’t work, infertility certainly sucks. It’s the same here in the UK, they don’t test the natural killer cells and we ended up paying a lot of money privately to do it during our recurrent miscarriage journey. Thankfully it was ok but couples struggling need to know one way or another. Sending you only good wishes and thank you for sharing this - I have my rainbow baby after 5 losses but still find it hard to talk about xx

Stay positive and keep on moving forward the way I got thru it was with the attitude of okay what’s the next step and kept on moving forward and not looking back. Praying you find the answers and become the mother you deserve to be. Also all the pain and tears I went thru I don’t remember because the love and joy will overcome allllll of what you’re going thru right now. God bless.

    • @cindi.wm34
      @cindi.wm34 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      That is so true. As years pass that is the only way to survive it. One foot in front of the other to keep moving forward. We do not have luxury of time. But when success happens (no matter how one finally gets there), you realize that the baby you have in your arms is the baby you were always meant to have. I never could have imagined my steps to motherhood. Never. Crazy enough I am now grateful for what I went through because if I didn't have the courage to continue, I wouldn't have my exact children. And being without my exact children is unfathomable. They are my everything.

  • @dvbibbs192
    @dvbibbs192 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I was shocked to hear that Liv has NK cells 😯. It just goes to show that doctors should never assume that a surrogate who has had children naturally doesn't have fertility issues down the road (or at least an answer as to why the transfers have failed). I'm sorry for the difficult news that you and Liv received. I think I remember Liv saying she had a miscarriage before her first kid. I wonder if she had NK cells then. If they come and go or they just pop out of nowhere. The human body I swear is so unpredictable. I think you still have a chance and good thing you started young in this journey (i know its been long and difficult and just unfair because it is) imagine if you started at 38? My husband always asks me how you're doing.

      @@emu9520 I am so very sorry for your losses. I know that is something a lot of people struggle with is "why does God allow suffering?" I have been through 3 miscarriages myself, so I have been there at times. But I also know that we live in a broken world, and the way things are now, were not God's original design for us all. People having free choice, and sin, is what brought death into the world. I promise you, whether you believe it, or feel it, God does love you, and he hurts with you.

    I have been following you for many years and throughout my IVF journey. My son is my worst quality non PGS 6 day embryo but I truly think I was just lucky. I also got pregnant naturally earlier this year but sadly miscarried at 11 weeks. What I am going to say will probably sound strange but every time I take a pregnancy test I think about you and Tim, because if me not having another baby would mean you could have yours, I would give up all my chance in a heart beat. My heart breaks for you, I don't understand why you have go through this but I hope that there is a reason and I am sure you will get to hold your precious baby one day. All the love. Kate

    OMG, I have only just tuned into your videos. I haven't jumped forward yet to see how your journey has gone, but everything you are describing is so similar to what my daughter is currently going through as at 10th July, 2024.
    She and her husband found out that her husband suffers from Azoospermia - the genital type of cystic fibrosis where is was born with no vas deferens so he has had to have his sperm surgically aspirated. After 4 attempts at IVF where her husband's sperm is actually injected into my daughter's eggs they have had relatively poor results from the resulting egg quality and embryos, where over the course of 4 attempts now, she has had not many decent quality eggs and not many eggs either for that matter. However, over the course of that time they have had grade 2 to 3 quality embryos overall. One grade 3 quality blastocyst was transferred - no luck; next round a grade 2 quality embryo, which really didn't look all that good was also transferred - no luck; next, no blastocysts.
    At that time, it was time to investigate what could be going wrong. Her bloods identified that she has a double mutation of the MTHFR gene, as well as grade 1 to 2 endometriosis. She was operated on to clear the endo. which was mainly located around her ovaries. Then she was put onto the MTHF supplement to address her MTHFR double mutation. Prior that finding out that she suffers from the MTHFR double mutation, she was taking folic acid supplements, which was the worst possible thing that she could be taking (unwittingly)!!!! Ok, so now she's up to round 4 this year - hoping, soooo hoping that having these things addressed would produce better quality eggs🤞. At the time of the endo. surgery, she had her uterus checked for any abnormalities, as well as have her scrapings checked for killer cells and all other potential embryo-destroying issues. All was normal and cleared thank goodness!!! So, after her round 4 egg (most recent) collection, she produced 9 eggs, 5 of which were not mature enough, 4 were fertilised, 1 didn't progress and 3 were still developing - of the 3 still developing, 1 didn't make it to day 5, 2 made it to day 5 blastocysts and both were grade 2. They froze 1 and transferred the other one, which the Specialist commented looked a fantastic embryo - structure-wise. After waiting the dreaded 2 weeks, my daughter's hCG result was 165!!!, 3 days later it was 980!!!!, so we can't believe she is now pregnant👏!!
    We are now so nervous and anxious about the next step, being the viability ultrasound, which will be happening in 2 weeks. My daughter is now 6 weeks pregnant. Every day is a nerve-racking wait. All the bad stories you hear, just fill you with dread. My daughter is staying well away from social media and anyone outside her close circle of friends and family, who are the only ones who know thus far. There is no room or tolerance for negativity or stories of terrible outcomes. As you would know so well, Celeste, they do not help and only serve to add to the terrible anxiety levels already being experienced by the hopeful mother. My daughter is more than well aware that it is early days yet and 'things' can happen, however, I have said to her to please live in the moment and that tomorrow is another day. I have advised my daughter to enjoy the pregnancy ride and that she has every reason to be hopeful. All possible screening tests have been done and passed; all fertility issues have now been addressed and resolved and now it's up to destiny. All she can do is to try and manage her stress levels as best she can under the circumstances and keep eating healthily and exercising moderately.
    I was crying while watching your video when you were talking about your transfer that didn't work...the one where you received the call from the fertility clinic in the car to advise that your hCG levels weren't progressing as they should have been. I felt so sad and sorry for you, and yes, it really does feel like the world is teasing you and being so cruel to you, that you should be having to go through this awful time. It's just not fair and hard for some, yet comes so easily for others. I have been there with my daughter who has gone through this terrible and very expensive journey, like you have, so I felt every part of your pain as you were going through the video😢.
    I am now going to skip forward in your videos and am hoping that you will eventually be rewarded with your own beautiful little baby - you and your husband thoroughly deserve it. I wish you both the VERY BEST of luck in your future rounds. 🩷💙🤗

    I’m so sorry to hear this recent news about your surrogacy journey not succeeding. I sent you a comment maybe last year.. but listening to your recent situation with natural killer cells and the MTHFR mutant gene with not being able to absorb folic acid this is indeed my exact case. I also have ca for 2 blood mutation which is a clotting disorder. I had immune blood testing and killer cell testing too from the ARGC clinic in London under Dr Taranissi and after also starting my infertility journey in 2014 I know it’s been a long difficult path. I have a two year old now and about to embark on my remaining embryo transfer this year. I also had extra progesterone and stripes and aspirin and clexane... but I also had the intralipid infusions iv drips to lower the killer cell level. And it worked for me. If you could even have a zoom chat with this clinic doctors I honestly believe you would be on THE path to having your own baby like me. I honestly see your pain and it breaks me to watch you guys go through this failing journey so far xx
    Pls pls even just take a look into it.. I wish you all the best of luck and I also want u to know I am trying to be very delicate with your situation. I understand I have been through it myself xx sending hope xx

    Have you considered coming to America to try different specialists and such? I know it’s probably going to be expensive , I’m sure you thought of it. Just don’t give up mama.

    • @leah6015
      @leah6015 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ivf isn’t hard. It’s really simple science and procedures. They are giving her the best treatment. America isn’t the best or better. When there’s decent sperm (which with icsi isn’t usually a problem as I don’t really believe in sperm frag..neither do top research centers in America) and a good egg, and a decent lining, then ivf works on avg in 1.5 transfers. If it’s not, coming to America won’t help. Ivf isn’t really that advanced, I don’t consider having good sperm and egg meeting up too amazing, we’ve been doing that for ages, she has true infertility (so do I). Our cases are the ones that can’t be solved yet, whether you’re in America or Australia, it sucks, but we need to be honest about the current limitations with ivf right now. These same limitations exist in all countries.

    My heart hurts for you so much listening to you share such personal and vulnerable experiences with your subscribers. My husband and I have been TTC for a year and a half and this journey has brought such emotional pain upon us that it now feels physical. Not something anyone could understand unless they’d also been down the road of hundreds of negative tests - and then in others cases, IVF, loss, and more. I’m so upset for you. To want something so badly, to do everything in our power to try and make it happen to come up with let downs is just some of the worst pain imaginable. I’m so sorry you’re having to go down this road. I’m praying for you.

    I am by no means trying to suggest opinions or anything, just genuinely curious. Can you take steroids for the natural cells for a few cycles before a transfer? Just wondering if it works like that or if the steroids eliminate the cells each time you take the shots? Idk if this makes sense but I’m just wondering if over time the steroids can reduce the cells.. also I 100% agree with you... infertility sucks.

  • @lizf1353

    So sorry for your loss. You are not at fault! You asked them to do it. You pushed them repeatedly until they did even though they were extremely educated doctors nd you advocated for what you needed! You didn't cost the 2 embryos that failed, YOU Gave THE 2 EMBRYOS YOU HAVE LEFT a chance!!! You are a strong dedicated woman and one day (no matter how it happens, surrogacy, egg donor, sperm donor, embryo adoption, surrogacy and embryo adoption, traditional adoption, foster care) you will be a great mother if that is what you want!
