Күн бұрынHi everyone. It was a difficult decision to share what we have been/are going through. I’ve been sharing my life with you for almost 6 years and I feel like some of you are family. We ultimately decided to share in hopes to normalize talking about this subject without feeling shame or like you’ve done something wrong. So many couples go through hardships when trying to conceive so if you are, I hope you don’t feel as alone. We are here for each other ♥️ be strong and baby dust to you ✨
Also, apologies for the echo. This was filmed in August and was edited last week before I knew about the terrible sound quality.

Stay strong Ashley, my cousin had extremely low egg count, she had 3 eggs left at 31 and she ran with it, she was so fearful of failing at ivf that she had all 3 eggs implanted, she got pregnant with twins but one of them made it the whole way through, after that who knows how or only God knows how she got pregnant naturally with another baby a year later after having her first ivf baby, ❤️

@@rr12766 very sorry for your lose as well ❤️ honestly nothing, and we had stopped trying because my husband felt it was getting dangerous for me to keep getting pregnant. But I will say I knew the moment I conceived (call it a mothers intuition) and I also felt the pregnancy was different, like I just knew she was going to stick and she did! I wish you SO much luck and love 💕

Ashley, my heart really breaks for you and Ryan. Modern medicine is wonderful. Jake and I tried for 6 years to have a baby. We ended up having IVF with ICSI. Our fertility specialist suggested this to us because that was the best way to maximize our chances of more viable embryos. By the grace of God we were blessed with Hunter and Harper. Keep your head up sweet girl! You are always welcome to reach out to me at anytime with questions.

I was told I had PCOS when I was 27 and told I wouldn't be able to conceive natural by the time I reached 33. I was single and had to bring this up in first dates 😳 As I didn't want anyone to be stuck with someone potentially "Barren". I met my partner 6 months later, started our fertility journey at 29 and I became pregnant naturally on my 30th birthday! I know it's not the same, but all we could do is prepare for whichever outcome and be at peace with it.

I’m so sorry you guys are experiencing this. I found out I had extremely low AMH levels when I was just 23 (same as yours Ash, comparable to someone on their early 50’s) I did one round of IVF and I could only make one embryo but I just gave birth to that one embryo 10 weeks ago, a healthy baby girl. You only need one egg! I will be praying for you guys 💖

I am so sorry. I can't even begin to thank you enough for talking about this so openly. I am literally going through the exact same thing right now. I am 37 and I just found out last month that my AMH is almost undetectable. I found this out through the process of freezing my eggs and was completely shocked by the results. I have always dreamed of having kids and was considering doing it alone but I am not sure if that is going to be an option anymore. It has been the longest month of my life, trying to accept the news. I wish more people were open about fertility struggles because it helps those of us going through it to feel less alone & broken. I wish you guys nothing but the best! Xx

Hi Ash and Ryan! I almost never comment on KZfaq videos but I just wanted to say thank you for sharing this! Wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment to start talking about this "taboo" topic. There are so many "pregnancy announcement" posts on social media, but people almost never talk about the other side of the journey. So I appreciate you two taking the time to share your news, and for being so open and vulnerable. I'm also 33, and my husband and I are going through our own fertility journey. I don't have the same medical diagnosis as you do (I just found out that I have endo) but I can completely relate to the shame that you felt when you found out. You're not alone! If you feel up to it, I'd love to continue watching your fertility journey. Sending you both so much love, strength and positivity

Take the time you need to process, less content for your well-being is something your followers will understand. Lots of love to you both! Don’t loose hope Ashley ❤️❤️

I'm 53 and pre-menopause. Your story really touched me. If you want to listen to my advice, please: 1. Do not accept any chance of not having a baby- your brain orders your body to follow your beliefs. (I believed the pediatrician my baby does not need my milk any more and I lost the breast milk within 48hrs). 2. Focus on pumpering youself- unprocessed food, plenty of sleep, limited exercise, emotional calmness and trust in your body: it knows best for you. 3. Imagine your baby, holding her/him, kissing her, hugging. Imagine every part of her body, every feature of her character. Dont allow stupid dark thoughts overwhelm your thinking. 4. Let Brian do the same mental job. Let him pumper you, accept his help. 5. Trust in God. Best wishes from Poland 🙏

From feeling like I got punched on the pit of my stomach and feeling numb when the OBGYN was telling me my egg quality wasn’t the best, to feeling alone (although I have a very supportive husband and family), to feeling upset and frustrated when getting my period every month. I know a lot of women go though this, but it can still feel lonely. And the “why me?” question comes to mind often. Stay positive! I wish you two all the best in your journey! 💗

It’s normal to just take some time to yourself and process this. Feeling ashamed, guilty, or less of a woman is unfortunately normal and also completely not fair. I’ve been watching you for years and knowing you’re being open about something so fresh in your life, especially when it comes to planning to have a family. Your approach has always been inspiring to me, because you may not have control of the situation, you have control over how you’re going to react to it and how you internalize it. This to me, is important to any woman and those who plan to get pregnant is to normalize and reach out/research those who have been, or are going through the same thing. I’m grateful to see how far along you’ve come and seeing how much of a great support system you have, especially within yourself when going through this. I believe in you, Ashley :)

Hi Ashley, hearing such news is never easy in the beginning but please believe that things will work out for you and Ryan and not to be so hard on yourself. A lot of women including myself feel that we are not normal cos we can't have a baby naturally which is so wrong. The one thing that my fertility journey has taught me is that nothing is in your control and to just be patient and positive. I really believe that things will work out for you and Ryan and am sending you lots of love and positive energy.

I know how heartbreaking this is and my heart goes out to you both xxx I have had multiple miscarriages and back to back Ivf’s and you will get through it, all you need is one good egg! I was similar to you in that the quality of my eggs were great, I just didn’t have that many and I was a lot older than you when I finally had the ivf.. sadly It didn’t work out for me and it’s the biggest regret of my life but I have a fur baby now and at least have something to look after.. I pray with all my heart that your journey will be successful. You would be amazing parents and it shows how deeply you care for each other. I wish you nothing but all the luck in the world... Thank you for sharing such a private part of your life and for raising awareness that fertility is areal and it’s a tough journey and unfortunately a common one.

It was totally unexpected and it crushed me, I did not see it coming. Now, after a few IVF rounds, I am 7 weeks pregnant :) I just wanted you to know that there is always hope and that the quality of eggs really is more important than quantity. Good thing you found out sooner rather than later. I wish you guys the best of luck xx

Your life with your husband and family will be beautiful no matter which direction you have to go. ❤️

Thank you. From the bottom of my heart. It is comforting to know it's not just us living in a nightmare day and night. It's comforting to know I'm not the only women felling that I'm a walking failure and made the life of my husband a horror movie, that I'm not the only one for whom being pregnant is natural and easy, that I'm not the only one having to go get blood work done every other day and having to take medications and do weird and difficult thing to get pregnant... Again... Thank you so much.

Ashley, I sympathize with you. My husband and I have been married 2 years and have been trying that long and nothing has happened. Two IUIs, 1 round of ivf with two failed transfers. We’re diagnosed as unexplained infertility. I’ve been doing acupuncture every week for the past 4 months and it’s helping the stress. From one woman to another, there is a huge community of us out here. We all feel alone and alienated. You have to take it one day at a time and I’m sending lots of blessings to you guys. Baby dust love.

I’m sorry you guys r hurting. I had to do IVF after trying and IUI’s, etc. I can relate to that moment of getting your period as I’m sure many others, oof! But know in your heart that it is possible, I used to b terrified about IVF and looking back is not the nightmare I thought it would be. I am still scared of needles but if you decide this is your path, don’t be afraid of it. Be focused. The process is not ideal but it’s really not the end of the world as is portrayed. Whatever choice you guys make as a couple, be happy in the process, take care of the stress, do things that make you happy, vision boards, Pinterest boards, visualization. Take it slow. If I showed you my vision board, Pinterest, things I didn’t even remember I had done that later manifested, it sucks, it’s scary but if you are determined in your heart and soul you will get it. It’s a battle with the emotional aspect for sure but I guarantee you nothing so hard you can’t overcome. Believe me! I wish I would’ve just jumped into IVF to save precious time, there’s so many options now Ashley, I am certain you will have your family and create your beautiful blogs about it and it will help so many and be so worth it! All the best to you both! You can do it! ✨✨✨🙏🙏🙏

Thank you for sharing. I too went through infertility years ago and it was a rollercoaster for my husband and I. It took us four years but we got our baby and then two years later my next child came. You should definitely seek out a support group. Through my group they linked me with the right resources to help me through my infertility. I wish you both all the best and hope that you get your beautiful baby soon.

Hi there Ashley! I’ve been watching you for years silently without wishing on commenting, but just supporting your your career choices and life changes along the way. However, this time I felt the need to type some words not necessarily because I think this is an issue which should be more publicly and openly discussed and one which women all over the world should NOT be ashamed of! My husband and I were fortunate enough to get pregnant immediately but 3 very intimate people in my family could not and had to embark on the journey of IVF. Let me just tell you the journey will be long and both physically and mentally tiring BUT you have to stay positive and trust the experts in this field! You have proven your resilience and perseverance a great number of times and I’m sure that in this situation and with the wonderful support system you are blessed with everything will go fine as it did with my sister, cousin and best friend! So, heads up and stay positive!! I wholeheartedly wish you the best of luck!

Sending love and good vibes! I had the same issue. After being latrozole, gonal injections, trigger shots and cycle monitoring for a couple months I just found out I'm pregnant! I've been SO defeated. I totally understand the huge let down every cycle, it's one of the hardest things i've ever been through. It's such an emotional rollercoaster, especially when everyone else around me was getting pregnant so quickly without issue, it felt like the universe was slapping me in the face. Because being a mom is all I've ever wanted. But coming from someone in a very very similar situation as yourself, there can be light at the end of the tunnel. Wishing you all the best

Thank you for sharing. Not many people talk about this and it’s frustrating. I was trying to get pregnant at 38 and couldn’t. I went to see an IVF Dr. and at 39 I was diagnosed with an AMH level of .08. Practically non existent. He told me my ovaries looked like a 50 year olds. It was devastating and no one around me could understand what I was going through. Hopefully you got this early and can have a positive results.

My heart is with you and yours. I personally know how straining this can be on not only you but your husband too. But I know the deep down feeling of regret and ashame you must be feeling. I felt this also and it took me years to finally come to peace from them. From a miscarriage and feeling like a utter disappointment and the blame I put on myself, to the fear I carried in both my pregnancies after and the barrier I put between my future ones. It’s not easy and I’ve also learned it’s not my fault. You were put in this position but someone knew that you were strong enough for it and they knew that what you make out of it will be a greater gift than if you were just given it. You’re going to be an amazing mother and your husband an amazing father and together a very strong family. Life wouldn’t be this beautiful it didn’t involve a little pain. I hope this gives you comfort , I know if I would have heard this years ago it would have given me some inspiration to get out of my own self defeat.

Sending you all the positive vibes your way. I struggled conceiving my first and had to see a specialist. It’s definitely scary and frustrating always asking “why me?!” But months later I brought into this world my first born. Surprisingly conceived naturally and quick with my second out of no where, which shocked me. It’s definitely scary and you’re filled with constant worry. Day at a time and positive thoughts 💜 I believe your mom journey will happen 💜
