Donors should have to undergo a basic genetic screening this can create a genetic profile that can be matched between fertility clinics to prevent multiple donors lying etc.

Bored, bored , bored. Yada, yada , yada. Very bias veiw of partners. I know loads of folk with supportive partners. So this is utter garbage. There is a difference between being a single mum when you have support and some money in the bank , and when you live in a one bedroom, damp, rented flat in Glasgow. You are on benefits and have no help whatsoever. Please people dont let this woman fool you. She must be loaded with all the cloth menstrual pads she made back in the day. She even won an award. My teeage kid used to follow her. However my kid is now a young woman and sees this for what it is. Dont be fooled. Being a single mum is hard work. I am sure she finds it hard at times. However i find her so condisending. I am a single mum on benefits. Her life is nothing like mine. Her advice is no use to me. I would love to see her try this in a damp council flat. Utter garbage

You dont have a baby face. You actually looked far much older than the age you are. Dont know your age so i will guess you are about 32.

Our Bree Bree has grown up. 🥹 Its been a privledge to see you go through soo much since being a young girl who made cloth pads to a lovely new mum. ❤ Thank you for sharing your life,advice and producta with us.

Tak!

You helped me transition to a menstrual cup when I felt so lost trying to make that decision. Thank you, and good luck in your new season of life.

So you're not making pads anymore?

Wishing you the best in your new career and life. I've been in a similar situation and I've had to part ways with certain things. Much love 💕

I found you as a sick 15 year old too (we’re the same age) weirdly our lives were similar in a way so I really related to you through all the changes, now every so often I pop back to see how you are!

Exactly! Why hate on women who were blessed enough to deliver how they planned to, and had positive experiences?

This is logical because there was a medical condition threatening her dreams.

My best advice is going through Gaia, you get everything paid for to your clinic and if it doesn’t work you get 50% of the ivf back, if you do have a baby, you pay for the treatment monthly which makes it much more affordable

I started watching your videos on reusable menstrual products when I was in high school in China. There weren't places to buy menstrual cups at all and I had to go to Hong Kong to buy my first cup. Now I'm living in the UK, and still using reusable menstrual products! Your first video on being grey-ace was also the first time I heard of the term, and that was when I started suspecting I was asexual. Your videos changed my life in some way, and I'm so glad for it. I'm happy for the recent positive changes in your life! :)

wow I watched some of your videos years back and just randomly wondered how things are going now and found your channel again. best of luck with everything!

Genune question... why does she need to wait for her child to wake up? Like, is it one of those places like childcare where children need to be awake when you drop them off? Can she not just wake him up before they go in? Is it like a social situation where they go to visit someone’s house? What’s the context?

My name is Katya, I`m watching you for over 10 years now. I`m from Russia and now living in Germany. I send you my love and wish lots of luck!

I hope you come back stronger than ever

I've been here since 2016. You are the reason I switched to cloth liners. Thank you for your awesome content over the years. I will be here when you return. Love and Blessings from the 🇺🇸🧡🙏🏼

I think this highlights the importance of attending mothers group and pregnancy groups. Speaking in person and having leaders in the group with medical backgrounds speak of this and can provide assistance and advice. Same as speaking with women with women going through things at the same time as you.

Thanks for your open honesty. So brave of you.

My eye doctor said that if I ever got to chose to get pregnant it would be preferable for me to get a C-section as my retina is a bit fragile and all the pushing is not good for it. And I remember getting so upset, because every young mother around me would always say that vaginal birth is so important for the mother, for the baby, that it creates some sort of special bong for the baby, to the point that it's good for their immune system and mental health. I am not even pregnant yet and I still felt robbed from an important experience. But hearing your story actually made me feel better. It's ok to have a C-section even without a medical condition, it's no less of a real birth than vaginal.

Thank you for 11 years of content Bryony! I was 14 when I first discovered you on YT, and I’ve loved every video from reusable period products to you becoming a mum! At 25 now, I can say it’s been a pleasure growing up with you! A youtube OG in my book! Best of luck in your new role. Much love from Texas -Al

Been here from the beginning. I have been in awe of you since learning more about my body from a girl 10 years younger than me. I have loved watching you grow and change and continuing being the wholesome person you are!

Its also good to take a child CPR class if you are nervous about babies. Knowing what to do if there is an emergency is really helpful.

As a polyglot adult who never knew their bio dad's family and who is finally learning the language of my maternal grandparents, highly recommend introducing your kid to his donor's language and culture. I wish SO much my parents connected me to both of my heritages. Not knowing my bio dad's side at all has made me feel like an outcast in my own ancestrial lands and I honestly hate it. It's like a part of my body/genes are disconnected to my life experience. Just a little connection to my mum's side has given me at least some materials, so to speak, for my body and life experience to build a bridge when I was ready. For my dad's side...my body and life experiences are disconnected and even though I have experiences in my ancestrial lands...there is literally no building material to connect my experiences to my body/genes. It's hard to explain and incredibly confusing.

Yep, it happened to us.

Aww those snuggles at the end just melted my heart!!! 🥹💖💖

Congratulations Mama! I’m sooo incredibly proud of you 👏 ! I’ve been watching you since your very first video! Your incredibly informative video is what made me switch to clothing and menstrual cups! I can’t thank you enough for being so amazingly open with all of us! I don’t think I’ve missed a single video you have posted! I’m definitely an OG for sure! Sending so much love to you and your handsome lil man! May this new Job bring you so much joy and love and peace ✌️to both you&lil man! I’m definitely going to miss your videos however I’m sooooo much more proud of your new chapter in life🥰! Love from Ottawa Canada 🇨🇦 🤗🤗❤️❤️ Ps. I hope when you read this you’re a having a happy wonderful morning noon or night🥰!

I have been following you since 2015 and started using cloth pads and menstrual cups my first cloth pads I ordered from you! See you later!

It's much easier to sound like a native and become fluent in a language you're exposed to before the age of 5. I would definitely recommend starting foreign language immersion ASAP. I would do it for as long as there is no push back. Exposure in the early years does wonders. The same golden period applies to music as well. Crazy benefits to starting music instruction by the age of 5-6. Of course, both foreign language and music studying are beneficial at all ages, but they do wonders if started by the age of 5-6. I love how thoughtful you are about making choices for him and limiting how much you show him on social media. Take care!

Totally agree!

Thanks for teaching me how to use menstrual cups back in the day. Seriously. Good luck with the new endeavors!!!!

Been here since cloth pads. Even brought off you! Good luck and best wishes to you and your family

I find you so soothing

Aw congratulations on the new job Bree, how exciting!! 😍😍🥳 I have been following you for a super long time now; I think about nine or ten years at this point?! You were still making videos in your little bedroom, before you got your first flat. I binge-watched all your Precious Stars Pads videos and all your review videos too, to find myself a decent menstrual cup 😂 .....then began watching your more vlog-style videos, and actually found it encouraging when you were crippled with period pains, because I'd never come across anyone who struggled with it the way I did......you were a breath of fresh air in a sea of pretentious health-based videos at the time, and you encouraged me in more ways than you will ever know!! Wishing you and little Oryn all the best going forwards, and I look forward to any updates you might choose to share whenever you feel inclined to do so......I hope you enjoy your fresh start 😍🎈💖 Lots of love from Becki, 43, England UK xxx

I’ve been here since nearly the beginning. I learned about reusable menstrual products from you so thank you so much for your dedication to that. I wish all the best for you in your new career ❤

I have a friend who is scared to have penetrative sex, and has never have had penetrative sex, but there sex drive is high through, they'll happily watch porn freaker the better, and use toys just not internal.

Do you watch things with sex in like game of thrones.

Nooo 😢 gunna miss your videos! Please give us an update at Christmas how it’s all going! Would love to be kept in the loop of your new adventures 😊

Been watching pretty much from the start.😘

I started following your channel in 2018 when I started using cloth pads. Thank you for all the help with sewing my own by hand and washing them properly!!!

I’ve been here probably since you started! Loved the content. Good luck with your new job! ❤

I've been here for so long, since your videos about me/cfs and it has been a privilege to watch you grow and change and I wish you all the best with your new job ❤️

The end of an era! I’ve been around since the early days of cloth pads and period vlogs. You’ve been one of a few channels I’ve watched consistently for many years. All the best in your new role Bryony.

I’m an ace in my 40s who has a toddler and has no intentions of looking for a partner. I am satisfied raising my little by myself❤ I had identified as lesbian in my twenties and thirties but the relationships…I honestly like the idea of a relationship but wasn’t obsessed like others. After that I was busy investing in myself to care about having a relationship ever again. It was in my 40s that all of a sudden I wanted a baby. I never wanted kids ever. So I went the IVF route and was so thrilled. I have help from parents and friends but most of the time I’m doing it solo. Plus I’m a Domestic Engineer aka stay at home mom. Not interested in having any type of relationship and find it hard to relate to other single moms that they’re constantly looking for a relationship. It’s a relief to see that I’m not alone.

I think I’ve been watching most of your videos since 2016ish. I purchased some cloth pantyliners from your company soon after I discovered them because of you and I’ve been using a menstrual cup since around that time as well. Thank you so much for your wealth of knowledge in that department and for showing us a part of your life for so long. Congratulations and good luck on the new job! Hopefully it is everything you’re hoping for and it becomes your career. We will all be impatiently waiting for new content from you Bryony ❤️

I've followed you since around 2014/15. Without you I'd never have heard of cloth pads, menstrual cups, or found my "goldilocks cup". Thank you so much. All the best for this next step in your life :)

See you later, Bryony. You've been a huge inspiration, even though you're a few years younger than me. I wish you a great data analysis career and family life! I think you'll thrive. (I subscribed when you were 16 or 17.)

Best of luck to you! X
