Thank you for being REAL with us and not just showing the highlights. As someone who’s gone through IVF 5 times, sometimes the hard truth is that it doesn’t work. We are constantly thinking and praying for you guys!!

I'm less than 2 minutes in BUT just wanted to send the reminder that you are so loved, so prayed for, and so rooted for through this whole journey. I've never wanted something so badly for complete strangers!!! We so appreciate your vulnerability and am obsessed with you in the least creepy way possible✨

You documented your IVF journey SO well. This series has been so informative. While I’ve never been thru the IVF process, this really puts into perspective what women (& the men) go thru with IVF. Thank you for sharing this journey with us. Praying for you & Leif!

idk if you'll see this but I had to tell you the epiphany these episodes have given me. I'm currently in school to become an ultrasound tech but never really knew what I wanted to specialize in. Upon keeping up with your journey through these episodes, I realized I’m meant to work in a fertility clinic. nothing has ever been so apparent, and I can't wait to help future families like yours! sending you lots of love & baby dust 🩷 thank you jaci

Hi girl! Just a quick message that I hope will help you in a way. So I'm an IVF baby, in France we also call them "bébé précieux" (Precious baby). After a terrible accident my mother was no longer able to have a baby "naturally" and so she began the IVF journey to have me. The first time it didn't work, the second time it didn't work, (which were both done in one of the best hospitals in Paris) the third time it also didn't work, it FINALLY worked at the fourth attempt. It took 4 whole years for the process to FINALLY work (maybe even more, I'm not sure). When I asked her about it she explained how this period of her life was stressing for her: the shots, the hospital visits, the different doctors. And you know what the funny part is ? When my parents decided to try again for my brother, they agreed on the fact that they would try only once this time. Guess what ? It worked on the first attempt for him 😂, even thought my mother was 34! This process is really weird gosh. Anyhow, You are so freaking strong, this is a very difficult process, and I'm praying for you to get this baby! You deserve it, I hope this little testimony reassured you in a way. Lov u, sending both of you a lot of love from France! ❤

I literally feel nauseous I dont even want to imagine what its like to be in your shoes. But I KNOW and I FEEL that it WILL work out!!!! There's a future where you and Leif will be parents to the most wonderful child(ren). I just feel it ✨ love you Jaci and I really appreciate you being vulnerable online. 🩷

Edit: im now 9:38 at the point where you talk about how it feels for you to keep a positive mindset and you have every right to not feel positive and be disappointed

[sabineweber]

The genuine heartbreak I am feeling right now…love you both so much you are so strong

[Olivia-hxin]

I just have a feeling that this next transfer worked and you’ll be announcing your pregnancy on new years 🫶🏼 manifesting!!! I am so proud of you both, and thank you for taking us in this journey. My heart goes out to you ❤️

Crying as I watch this video. I can relate to you so much. We had 5 failed iui’s before we did IVF. IVF is the hardest thing to go through and you feel so alone during the entire process. I remember having the conversation with my husband before IVF of what we would do if we couldn’t have kids. It’s heartbreaking. After a successful and long IVF journey we decided to start a nonprofit to help families and couples struggling with fertility because of how hard it is financially and emotionally. Sending all the prayers and good luck to you during this time!!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

Jaci, I’m giving you the biggest virtual hug. We struggled with infertility for over two years, then got pregnant. We now have a 2.5 year old and a 6 month old. You fully believe you will get pregnant, and soon. Always praying for you and Leif. You guys are the best🤍

[ashleyr]

It feels like every time I open Facebook it’s another friend’s pregnancy announcement and it can be painful to wonder why it can’t be me. My husband reminded me that a majority of people don’t post the struggles they go through along the way. I’m SO thankful you shared this 💜

[taylornicolehayden]

I'm 2 minutes in and I'm in tears. My heart aches for you both. You are wrapped up in prayer and I am believing you will be holding your angel baby so so soon thank you for sharing this journey. You don’t have to, but you are and it’s helping / affecting SO many women and couples in your exact position. I can only imagine how encouraging it is to see / hear from someone and be understood.

“nothing you go through is ever wasted”

When you said “I let myself go there” oh that shattered me because I get it. My husband and I had a miscarriage in 2022 and when I got a positive in august of this year I naively didn’t even let the idea that it would happen again in my head and then we miscarried again. Rooting so so hard for you both.

[HannahFerguson-ywnl]

ugh the beginning of the video really made my heart hurt. I was really expecting that positive test. Thanks for being so vulnerable and sharing your journey. Thinking of you and Leif.

[loganalu]

You’re so loved. ❤ cried along with you. Thank you for being so candid.

[EmilyLena]

Hi Jaci 👋 I’m 4.5 years into my fertility journey and you are doing such a service by sharing your journey. I feel SO alone. Alone in my thoughts, feelings, phase of life and it’s so hard. I’m so sorry you have to go through this, but the fact that you are sharing it so candidly is so helpful to me and I’m sure others in the thick of things.

[VivaLaGlam]

Ugh that opening scene… I cried with you guys. I’m so sorry. I pray your baby will come with this next transfer. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

[dustylouthan]

You have every right to feel what you feel, your feelings are so valid. No matter whether you have it work in a month from then or a year from then. You’re not being dramatic for feeling your feelings! I cannot imagine what it must’ve felt like in the moment. You’re so incredibly strong for being vulnerable for sharing all of this with us. I’m rooting for you both & I am manifesting your success as much as I possibly can. You both are both so so deserving & I cannot wait to see you both be parents❤

[amybuccanero]

I’ve never rooted harder for two strangers in my life. You guys are on my mind every day! ❤️
