Emma, as a 36 year old, I’m excited to follow along on your journey, regardless of what happens. Thank you for sharing with us. Sending positivity and baby dust your way heart❤

You are so lovely. I love your honesty and how your confront your challenges head on and now you're a runner! Wishing you all the best.

You have the right attitude! I love how your taking a negative and doing positive things in spite of it!

I’m not in the market for having children at all but I’m so invested in your journey because it’s something you’d never think about until it affects you. I’m amazed at how brave you are to share this especially when things go wrong. BTW I totally get the list thing…I’m job hunting & I do the same things to help cope with rejection better

Emma I understand putting your life on hold. I did it when I was having my bowel surgeries as it was over a three year period and again going through the IVF journey. I feel like I lost so much time just waiting for life to happen. When I was going through IVF I wouldn’t even paint my nails as I didn’t want to breathe in any toxins with the polish or polish remover. We have to keep living our lives no matter what we’re going through in life but it isn’t always easy.

Oh Emma, I'm so sorry. Thank you for being open about your journey. Wishing you luck as you continue!

Although I have never wanted children myself, I do realise that for most women to have them is incredibly important and I am sorry that this round of IVF was unsuccessful. I wish you better luck for the next round, and in the meantime, make the most of the time you are not pregnant by doing the things you mention. It was brave of you to make this video, and I am sure a lot of women will relate to your situation and appreciate your honesty.

Emma, thank you for your honesty. I love your matter-of-fact delivery and wonderful sense of humor. Wishing you good health.

So sorry to hear this Emma, sending love to you and your family. Very hopeful for your next round. Enjoy running, I'm looking forward to hearing how you get on with it. I've been struggling to get back to it so hopefully I'll find inspiration in you! X

Emma, I'm so sorry for your loss, but I'm glad that you have something to focus on for now till your next try. Thank you for sharing your story with us, and I wish you all the best!

I'm sorry for your loss, but admire your positive and healthy outlook! Blessings to you and your family!!

You are an amazing role model Emma. Such a good influence. ❤

So happy you're sharing your story - thank you! Sending you love and hope

I’m so sorry for your loss, Emma x

You are sch an inspiration to so many people Emma and a complete breath of fresh air; keep doing what you're doing! Onwards and upwards....❤❤

Thanks for being so brave and honest. I hope this helps at least one person watching.

Emma, I am so sorry for your loss. I went through this process also and we ended up finding other ways to increase our family. I keep you in my heart and hope the best.

Wishing you nothing but the best with whatever path you take going forward. You are such a beautiful soul 😘

Praying for you guys! ❤️

Me too ... I made a list of good things to be happy about, and putting things into perspective: like, this seems like my biggest problem now while I've had times when things have been much much more uncertain and stressful and we've made it to the other side. Big hugs, and thank you for sharing your journey :)

Emma I’m sorry it didn’t work out this time and as someone who has been through this journey I completely understand the devastation. I really appreciate your openess and honesty with us. I’ve said it before but talking through it is such a healthy way to deal with any type of grief. You have been blessed with Henry so you know this can work for you. Give yourself some time and try again when and if you feel able to. Sending love and virtual hugs.❤️🙏

Emma I am so sorry but you are lovely such an optimist and so intelligent.I wish you luck in everything you do. The running sounds so promising!

40yo follower here who was about to start IVF after 2 years TTC our second child (the day of the appointment I found out I was pregnant and our boy was born 5 months ago, life sometimes surprises you). Thanks for sharing your journey, I wish you all the very best (and you have inspired me to download the couch to 5k app again!).

So sorry but love your positivity and all the things you have that make you happy x

Your such a positive person Emma. So sorry it didn’t happen this time. Just enjoy your what you are doing now and your wonderful family. ❤

I’m so sorry about your chemical pregnancy. I had one a few years ago and I took it really hard. It took until now to be ready to begin a baby journey again with my husband and we just started the IVF process. I really like your idea of making a list of things you want to do when you’re not pregnant. It’s not dark of you at all. I think there’s a lot of positivity in that either way and it’s brilliant! I also agree with not putting life on hold. You have a lot to offer to the world, to your family, and to yourself! To the best of your ability don’t put life on hold in the process 😊 (I also get caught up in things and need to remind myself of this). Good luck in your journey and many wishes for positivity and happiness along the way. I’m hopeful for you and your family and I’m sure that life will work out beautifully ❤. It’s also very nice and comforting to hear about someone else who is going through the process concurrently. Sending lots of love ❤

As a fellow ivf girl I clicked so fast! Was obviously hoping for a different outcome for you but I can really relate to what you were saying about trying for number two with ivf vs trying for first child. Sending loads of strength your way for next cycle ❤️

I find you're so brave for talking about such a sensitive topic (on the internet). I admire you very much. I'm sending you and your family hugs and positive vibes!

I´m very sorry, your IVF didn´t work out and totally impressed by your positive mindset and amazing plans! Sending positive energy your way.

❤❤❤Emma, love your positivity! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Your attitude is what will get you through, no matter the result. Much love and luck to you both. 🍀❤️💐

Very sorry my lovely! You are an incredible woman. Biggest love x

Bless your heart! You say you're a pessimist but you actually have a really good attitude! I enjoy watching your videos and the content. Also, you have a nice voice!

Emma, love your attitude 🙏

Thank you for sharing. Very best wishes for your next IVF cycle xx

I’m so happy your have your little one. Hoping that you and your family find all the comfort you can in one another. This cannot be an easy thing to go through no matter what the outcome I’ll be here sending you positive vibes.

Emma, I'm so sorry this round of IVF didn't work out, but I'm so encouraged by your plan and positivity for the future. ❤ you are incredibly amazing. Looking forward to sharing the running journey with you 😀

❤ thinking of you - like you say you have so much to be grateful for - sending a hug ❤

I’m so sorry this round didn’t work but I love your positive attitude about doing things that make you happy. Fingers crossed for the next round ❤️

Thank you so much for addressing this sensitive topic in a video. I am childfree myself, but am always glad to have information and perspectives to support my patients emotionally on their life journeys. I came for the purses and stayed for your personality.

Thanks for the great positivity! I learnt alot from you. All the best to you.

Hugs to u lovely Emma....U r very brave and a beacon of hope for people like me struggling to do better

Sorry to hear, but I love your positive outlook🥰

i clicked so fast in excitement for you. love your overall attitude! thank you for sharing. sending you loads of baby dust on your next round

sorry to hear this x sending baby dust to you x keep the positive attitude x i have my fingers crossed for your next try x

Aww gutted for you I was convinced it had all been successful , well done you for your positive attitude xxx

So sorry it’s not worked this time, but love your positivity about it. I’ve had 5 rounds of IVF all with donor eggs and we had two failed pregnancies from it. So we have decided that’s the end of our ivf journey xx

Positive vibes your way!!!

Super familiar feeling of disappointment but your focus on what you can do is inspiring! Enjoy the burgers and the runs and I hope for a different outcome next time!

Thank you for sharing! In the middle of ivf, with 4 failed rounds, and I like your idea of having a list of things to look forward to. Best of luck to you in the future ❤

Someone else said this in the comments and it true, you are such a lovely person. Wishing you & your family the all the best 💜

I also did couch to 5k as a 70ish person. Did my first 5k. I don’t really want to ever do it again but soo glad and proud that I did it.

Hi Emma- thank you soooo much for sharing and being open about this journey. Love your attitude. I wish you all the best and hope you will get pregnant soon! ❤

Hi Emma! This is such a daunting process to go through and I thank you for sharing your experience with your viewers. The spectrum of infertility treatment is so vast and I’ve come to know so many couples who are going through this at some level. As we know, so many factors have to line up for that blastocyst to even turn into an embryo and grow into a human! It really is amazing when we think about it. That being said, thank you for sharing your journey! I think it’s amazing that you created a list of positive things you can do if not pregnant. I know this can be so disappointing, but chin up! You’ve got this! Those embryos have a fate of their own and there’s nothing anyone can do to cause that embryo to not implant and grow. Hearing stories like this are rather insightful because I don’t really hear much about the process of using frozen and PGT tested embryos or even frozen eggs. All aspects of infertility are difficult to go through, whether it’s primary or secondary. But yes, I do agree that does Atleast make one feel positive and hopeful if one already has a child. Have you considered seeking an acupuncturist? Particularly TCM? They are also helpful to use throughout the IVF process, especially post transfer. There are so many other treatments at our disposal that may support the process of IVF, it’s worth looking into! Sending baby dust your way!

I’m with you Emma! I’ll keep you in my prayers. I had twins on IUI 2nd cycle with clomid. Tried 3 yrs later. After 4 cycles of IUI I went to IVF. I understand the emotional roller coaster. I had No anesthesia when retrieving my eggs. We will do anything, go through any pain. Sadly it didn’t work and I found out I should have been put under! It was painful! No matter the outcome, you will be okay ❤

Love how open and transparent you are. So positive. You will help a lot of people being so open. Sending love to you all. PS lets go boxing together?

so sorry for you!

Emma, sending you future baby dust and you will be a pro runner in the meantime while waiting for the next round 😊 ♥️

Sounds like you will be heading into the next round fitter and healthier 💕

Great positive attitude keep it up ❤

I know the feeling of putting things on hold, I am doing all the test before start trying for no 2 with IVF. Hope you can relax and enjoy life until (and during) next cycle

I’m so sorry this round didn’t work out, so brave of you to make this video. Glad you are able to find comfort in your child, your husband & all of the other things you mentioned. Do you think your medical knowledge helps or hinders in the emotional processing of your circumstances?

So sorry to hear of your loss Emma and pleased that are taking a positive attitude. I don't know whether I mentioned it but I have specific qualifications in sub-fertility nutrition, as well as standard nutritional and endocrine qualifications etc, so always happy to chat to you if you are interested in my feedback about optimising diet etc. Regardless, I wish you successful for a future pregnancy....as someone who has never had children but pregnancy loss, it's a difficult time.

I'm sorry that it didn't work out this time. You seem to be handling it as well as you can. Go buy some fun running shoes, maybe not ALL the gear, but just something bright and happy that will make you smile when you head out the door. ❤

I am a runner....but I am turtle-level slow. Like 5k in 30 minutes+ level slow. What matters is that you show up, and that you enjoy it. Wishing you the best on your new running journey and putting in a very strong recommendation for the lululemon running tights because those things DO. NOT. BUDGE. Also, pockets. :)

Emma I admire you so much for posting this video. Your son is very lucky to have you and if the universe is listening: please give Emma Anders a beautiful and healthy baby and a wonderful pregnancy to term.

I love your positivity. *hugs 🤗♥️ Your message is so encouraging and will touch someone out there who’s trying. All the best 🥰

So sorry to hear this but your a great inspiration to so many of your followers in similar situations. I read somewhere that’s fertility issues are very high now as a medical profession do you think this is true? So many variables to it I guess a lot not even medical I suppose. Every crossed for next time for you. Go buy new running shoes cheaper then the Dior bag. Run every other day to begin with Mrs to start with , I’m sure that is the v Ty advice you would give to us lol. No matter my weight my training is 100% my mental health drug and no training during the pandemic paired with whooping cough nearly killed me off. 18 months back training 6 days a week again thankfully. 🙏🙏🙏

Sorry Emma that it wasn’t your time this time but hopefully success is around the corner. You have a brilliant strategy for dealing with things not working out….Five Guys! 😊😊 Your positive attitude is infectious! 🥰🥰

Thank you for sharing. Sending a big virtual hug.

Im sorry about your news.❤ I love your attitude, I am similar in that way. Not that I am a runner or have any desire to be😂😂

All the best, Emma, crossing fingers for your next attempt! Sending love from switzerland ❤❤❤BTW early miscarriage happens lots, o had one too, was devastated but soon after got pregnant. ❤

Aww I’m sorry to hear this wasn’t meant to be this time but maybe next time! 🥰 Enjoy your 5k! 🏃🏼‍♀️ ❤

Emma ❤

Take care Emma .x

❤️

Sucks about the chemical pregnancy, we still call it that in america. I’ve had one too. It sucked. I cried too and it totally sucks. Will you guys try another round?

i am trying for first child. it is the hardest thing ever. :(

I forgot to tell you that my twins,(girls) grew up, married and have had no problems getting pregnant. And one had twins! Her dr said she most likely would have another set it they tried again. So while I didn’t get that 3rd child as I posted below, God blessed me with 5 grandkids. ❤

I feel for you, but you must allow yourself to grieve it's part of the process, but I love your 'if not' plans, I wish I had done the same.

Emma , sorry to hear your update. On an unrelated topic, I am so distracted by your shelves in the background that used to house your bags, is that sheets of paper? X

Will you be taking up Olympic lifting in your home gym?

I am sorry it didn’t work out for you this time.

❤
