Hey ladies, I want to do a Q & A and answer all your questions TTC related or not. So please leave all your questions below.

[@Kittykat-bj7ry]

What is your one tip you would recommend for a couple just starting to try and conceive?

[@ashleylee1530]

How many kids do you want?

[@lealouize6551]

Still breastfeeding ? have you done a hormonal checkup? did you consult a fertility specialist?

[@LindseyMuelle]

How long did you try for each pregnancy? I’ve only been following your journey for a few months 😊

[@apatchofblue69]

Ooops left my question with my comment 😂. Here it is again: If you were to get pregnant with a girl, would you be done having kids?

[@casey7924]

Best of luck! I have watched so many fertility journeys on KZbin and it seems the only regret people have is not starting the process earlier. You can always cancel an appointment! You may not be able to get an appointment for months, so if you call today and find out you’re pregnant before the appointment, yay! Also once you have an appointment you can stop thinking about that particular part, since you’ve already taken the step.

[@brooklin_bernek]

You are so right, most women say they do regret not reaching out for help much sooner. I’m totally agreeing with this comment. ❤

[@lk3522]

I think you are being very smart in your approach. You did an amazing job getting your body to the healthiest spot you can get to naturally. At this point it is time to consider other paths toward pregnancy, and that is GOOD. At the end of the day it is about getting that healthy baby. Whatever it takes, just do it. Your time is critical and you never know what is ahead of you and your family. My biggest advice would be to not waste your time.

[@KatieBeckman]

Wishing you all the best. Definitely advocate for yourself. We have been trying for 2 years. We have secondary infertility. We have 3 living children. I’m 35yo. I was on 13months of induction medication, 2 HSG’s, Sonohystogram, Laparoscopic Surgery, tons and tons of monitoring, tons of labs drawn, 3 failed IUI’s and more. During that time we have had 3 early losses (non of which were from the iui’s) All of our fertility testing on mine and my husband’s end is normal and above average. Months after our failed iui’s I went in and asked for advanced testing, because I couldn’t rest until our “unexplained infertility” actually had a reason behind it. All tests on my end came back normal but turns out even though my husbands SA came back beautiful with no issues 9 months ago, he has High DNA Fragmentation. Which explains all the early losses and then not conceiving quicker. He is now on a specific protocol but it may not help. IVF is out of the question. No coverage and too expensive. We now have exhausted all of our extra funds doing all these things in the last 2 years that we can’t move forward with more treatments for some time. Angry at our clinic for a lot of reasons. Can’t get a second opinion unless we go out of state as there aren’t any other clinics in our area. I’d suggest to call, make your appointments and at least become more Informed. You will feel better or at least accepting reality and morn/cope from there. Best of luck!

[@NicoleClark]

Thank you for sharing. It’s scary to think you are doing the best you can do with the information the medical professionals have given you but they don’t have all the information and it can lead to wasted time and money. That is another thing that scares me.

[@brooklin_bernek]

And if anyone here says calm down , than they have never had to struggle with getting pregnant and that’s a FACF, Cause us TTC mamas never say just relax. *

[@rachelhart4957]

Hi Nicole, maybe you have or are doing this, but have you thought about talking with a therapist about your fertility trauma to help work through those fears and emotions? I don't need an answer as that is your business. If not, that might be helpful. You are such a sweetheart. Wishing you all the best on your journey. ❤

[@brooklin_bernek]

Nicole you are absolutely doing the right thing love, you’ll look back and thank yourself for advocating for you and your hubs❤ I always keep you in my nightly prayers , (and I mean that) now I know to come looking when I don’t see you in my subscription box cause KZbin stinks lol ❤ xoxoxoxo

[@NicoleClark]

Thank you for all your sweet comment 🥰 I’m glad to have you here.

[@asiadelgado3733]

I had my second baby when at 32 and i am currently 33 and still trying for baby number 3. Lord willing i would love to have 4 kids but i am so grateful for the two i have now. I am praying for you Nicole that if the Lord sees fit He will bless you and your husband with more kids. You are so beautiful ans sweet and i want this for you as bad as yoy want it for yourself. ❤

[@NicoleClark]

Thank you! We really are in the same place right now, trying for baby number 3.

[@asiadelgado3733]

@@NicoleClark definitely!!! 😀

[@MichelleSwaggerty]

Hey girl just wanted to say for all your struggles trying to have another baby I’m right there with you. We already have kids as well some out of the house and some at home. And we have been trying for another baby for almost 7 years. We tried on are own for a long time didn’t work. Went to see a fertility doctor and did 4 rounds of iui’s they all failed. Then went onto ivf using my own eggs and that didn’t work because of my age I’m 45 was younger at the time of the iui’s and my low amh. So then we moved onto donor eggs and have done a total of 9 transfers. Out of the 9 3 took but I had a miscarriage with all three. Now I’m at a new clinic using a new egg bank getting bloodwork done that my other clinic never did. And an extended semen analysis for my husband to see if he is the problem will find out results from that in a few weeks. So hopefully we will both get are babies soon. God luck keep me posted.

[@apatchofblue69]

I agree with another comment that you should go ahead and get appointments scheduled because you can always reschedule or cancel them! Wishing you all the best!! Question: If you were to get pregnant with a girl would you be done with having kids?

[@Jesshamm]

Hey hun I just want to say I felt this way about my journey to the dr also it was a long road but totally worth it I was also breastfeeding and that threw my body off and I was in my late 30s and it was really hard to keep going at times but the want to have a baby over powered all the bad if u do anything please go ahead now while you are only 30 because it really does get harder as the years pass I hate how people say just give up and relax then you will be pregnant omg I wish people had any idea what we go through and have been through I did stop breastfeeding and I did get pregnant thankfully without having to see the dr this time but my last baby was totally a letrozole and trigger shot and progesterone baby and I do take progesterone 200 mg from positive test to 30 weeks it’s usually only to 12 or 14 but I also have a cervical cerclage stitch so the progesterone helps that also I will be praying for you oh yeah and I added aspirin after ovulation and I am now 24 weeks

[@NicoleClark]

Thank you for sharing with me. I’m sorry you have gone through so much but you are right we would do anything for our babies.

[@lk3522]

I would love to hear about your experience on fertility medication specifically clomid. I am considering this path as due to my age this may be the last resort and I do not want to waste any more time hoping this can work naturally. I have been taking all the vitamins one should take when trying to conceive and I just have miscarriages and chemicals. It seems like your experience with this medication could be very helpful to hear.

[@chenaysmith5732]

Wish you the best outcome and prayers you get this baby on your fertility journey.. I am starting ivf as well do to some slow movements in the fertility area funny me and my husband conceived before making that decision with our 3 year but we thought we would’ve been had another by now 😢 it’s ok however they come to us don’t matter as long as we get them in our arms!! Baby dust sticky baby dust to you!!! Love watching your videos

[@brooklin_bernek]

Yes!!! Before 30 even 29 I got pregnant but soon as I turned 33 it became so much harder like whyyyy it’s not old at all, when are we supposed to even have kids then !? 25 is still so young 😢

[@chenaysmith5732]

@@brooklin_bernek same here I will be 33 in October and I see a huge difference from when I conceived at 21 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@anirishlass1222]

Currently 36, conceived my son at 35 first month of trying and not tracking thing, now we have been trying for 6 months tracking ovulation and no joy 😢 really hoping we both get pregnant soon. Definitely feel its harder as we get older

[@NicoleClark]

Hopefully you are able to get pregnant soon. I know after pregnancy it takes some time for your hormones to go back to normal.

[@marya7862]

Your story is a bit similar to mine, to keep it all short, i feel i conceived using progesterone after ovulation and i was on a natural supplement called EU NATURAL “conception for her” fell pregnant after a month n a half on it! Didn’t even finish the second bottle. We did fertility treatments as well for months n months n nothing happened. Btw we were 34 with secondary infertility, didn’t even conceive at all till i was 39!!! Has 2 missed miscarriages which tore us to pieces and now im almost 41 and surprise we are pregnant and it’s sticking and we are 12 weeks🎉

[@NicoleClark]

Congratulations! This is amazing and gives me so much hope!

[@heatherstevens9441]

You really just look so much like actress Laura Marano! Very pretty.

[@NicoleClark]

Thank you 🥰

[@colleenversfeld2250]

Praying for you 💕

[@colleenrichardson5339]

I wish you could just get your records transferred from the last fertility place you went to 😭 why can’t it just be that easy? lol Question for the Q&A: how many kids are you hoping for?

[@brooklin_bernek]

I promise you Nicole the cycle I started “Earthley “ fertiliboost I got pregnant and hundreds of women have , tbe reviews are real , I’m a real person….. please give it a try it’s a tincture and it did wonders. Doesn’t taste great but it deff helped . I also added coq10 and omega3, vitamin c, along with prenatal from ritual , and also vitamin d - this was all From a fertility doc such wonderful supplements esp trying to conceive

[@KristeFonseca]

I’m been straying from 2 months after I got my iud out but I haven’t got pregnant yet I’m going to be 30 in August and I’m still going to trying to convince have you tried fertility tea or fertility, gummy’s those work fine

[@TheGistPartner]
