I really appreciate this video. Everyone in my family is very fertile so I just assumed I would get pregnant first try too. Nope. No one knows we're trying so I feel alone. My husband has been very supportive and reminding me it might just take time, it's still hard not to feel sad though. Everyone keeps asking me if I'm pregnant (even though for all they know I'm still on birth control) which makes it even harder on us. Everywhere I look there's baby this and baby that. All I've ever wanted to be was a mom... I fear infertility. This is the encouragement I needed, and the reminder to keep enjoying life outside of trying to get pregnant. Going to try to take a break from baby stuff for a while, and gonna take a break from negative pregnancy tests...❤️

The google black hole is so real! I googled 'can my cat tell I'm pregnant before I can' because my cat was 'acting weird'---uhm, he always acts weird!!

I think you made this video for me! Thank you so much for this! I needed to hear this. I have felt like a crazy person for the past 3 months. Sending everyone watching this positive vibes and baby dust <3

[leabeauvais]

Thank you for this! So many videos on "ttc tips" and "how I got pregnant fast." This was really refreshing and real! My googling black hole days are now over now that I am TTC and it didn't happen right away. So easy to get caught up in it all but so stress-inducing. Much love!

It took me 2 years to get pregnant with my daughter a month after we stopped trying I got pregnant. She’s now 8 months old and We have now been trying to conceive our second child for 5 months since we want our children really close in age. This video is pretty helpful so thank you!

[zionnichole]

Awesome video! Extremely informative and ON POINT!

[MargaritaDeiDeus]

Aaaaw....this moved me to tears. Seeing you so wanting the pregnancy test to be positive. Going through all those months taking tests and all that. I'm so happy for you. Your baby is very lucky to have a mom like you. A mom that tried so hard to love her/him to life. A moms greatest love on earth. It's so beautiful!! Congrats! :)

[FatimahsFiles]

Awesome tips for myself and peace of mind, thank you!

[christinakoufoudakis]

You are so lovely and this was such a helpful video to help me out of my rabbit hole of anxiety and fear. Thank you! <3

This is so true, thanks for sharing! We’re ttc month 4. I do little videos on my phone where I just talk to myself about what’s going on when I need to- just like you said: you need a space to brain vomit.
I started charting in the third month and upgraded my cycle app to a premium version and it’s really helped me understand my own body and I’ve found it helps me rationalise my expectations.
However I have seen a lot of women on that app who seem to be increasingly „crazy“ about symptom spotting ect just like your example and it’s definitely not healthy:/ hope everyone whose ttc gets their healthy baby. I just keep telling myself that it will happen when it’s time :)

Great video, very informative and honest

I really thoroughly enjoyed this video. Myself and my husband, who is also my Highschool sweetheart of 10 years, are finally planning our first. We are still 2 months out, I started taking prenatals and im so excited like giddy! Ive always wanted this and it feels right, of course i cant share it with any one so im bursting at the seams but today i found a crib and changing table FOR FREE on fb market place that im going to redo 😊

[tonibraden]

So happy for you. And a huge thank you for everything you do ❤💯

[Across_The_Ocean_Story]

That is what happened to me...got pregnant at our first try. I think mostly because it was spontaneous and I was not stressed out or pressuring myself to have a child. Basically, during sex, we decided this is the time! It was very in the moment and emotional but also we did think about having a baby for months so this time just felt right. I think it is important to get pregnant when your relationship is in a great place and you feel connected and loved. I got pregnant and remember the exact day it happened and pretty much right away I knew we conceived. I have 17 more weeks to go with our healthy baby girl.

I really appreciate this video. I’m on cycle 4 of trying to get pregnant and it has really started to stress me out. It feels like everyone around me is getting pregnant or having their babies. We are going to take a break this month (Jan 2020) and just focus on us, our health, and enjoying our time. I will probably keep coming back to this video to help me feel sane. Thank you so much 💕

"Drink more water"... (inmediately take my water and drink it in gallons lol) .. I saw you using the strips in your Pregnancy announcement video and inmediatley ordered them in amazon! Cheapest option to test all the times you need for your own sanity lol
